Trumpsters, please don't read this

I know unemployment numbers don't count. It just seems advantageous for people to have opportunity. Or, we could do it the Mac way, and make everyone wards of the state.

Okay, I'll bite.

What in the world are you talking about?

I'm thinking about applying for a job a chairperson for the GOP for the 2020 election. I figure that they will have to hire me when I tell them my suggestion for the 2020 platform.
"America is $74 trillion dollars in debt. TIME FOR ANOTHER TAX CUT!"

We all know that skyrocketing taxes will boost the economy and, and the government will automaticaly spend responsibly. The only responsible thing to do is squeeze people until they need welfare. The only reason you hate tax cuts is because it gives people a fighting chance. Don't pretend it has anything to do with the debt.

Dusty, I suspect that this is over your paygrade, but I will try to simple it down to you. Cutting taxes only makes things worse, unless you also cut expenses. Otherwise, you debt increases, and so does interest. Republican thought runs along these lines: Let's take some kids off of food stamps, and increase military spending until it reaches a total of 100% of the next 28 nations combined. Then, build a wall that won't work, but will require perpetual maintenance. Our base won't mind, because we will raise taxes on consumers only, which is regressive, by calling it tariffs (they won't notice that). We'll deregulate investment houses, so that the rich will get richer. After all, that worked so well in 2008. Meantime, we'll throw money at the Midwestern farmers, being very careful not to call it socialism. We'll call it "reward for patriotism"! We'll have to do a few other adjustments, like when Reagan signed the law requiring hospitals to treat the poor for free, and then blame all the losses on illegal immigrants, and when he signed the law giving free phones to the poor, but we call it "free Obamaphones". We'll create some new buzzwords, like "Fake News", Deep State", "TDS", "Libtard" "Gun Grabber", etc. Then, when anyone mentions the recently demised Teabaggers, any of Trump's campaign promises (especially the one where he said that he would erase the deficit in 8 years), we will remain silent, or instantly bring up Hillary or Obama. If nothing else works, blame everything on colored people.

I'm not a financial expert, but it is common sense that the tax rate is irrelevant to the debt. Raising it would not cause a dent in the percentage of debt paid off. Without controlling spending, the only difference the tax rate makes is weather people are allowed to prosper, or forced into government programs. Cutting red tape, and letting people keep their wages is the best bet for people of all backgrounds. Whether or not you hate the military or farmers, it still does not make sense to make people dependent on government programs.

The Conservative Review isn't playing along. Good for them. Anyone who brings up Trump's exploding debt and flagging economy are immediately mocked by his obedient Trumpsters, but fortunately there are still some Conservatives who are not willing to lie and spin for him.

But I know, I know. The Trumpsters don't care.

Trump can’t be both the president of growth and the president of debt

Earlier today, the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced that the economy had grown just 2.1 percent during the second quarter of this year (ending June 30). It also revised Q4 of 2018 down to just 1.1 percent, which now means that growth during the 12 months ending Q4 of 2018 was only 2.5 percent, not 3 percent as previously thought. This means that the U.S. economy has now gone 14 years without a year-over-year growth of 3 percent. It’s been 19 years since we’ve hit 4 percent, which was during 1997-2000.

While the numbers don’t portend a coming recession, it is highly unusual for us to go for 16 consecutive months with unemployment below 4 percent and 43 months below 5 percent, yet never attain 3 or 4 percent annual GDP growth. In fact, that has never happened before. During the late 1990s, the unemployment rate ranged from 5.3 percent to 3.9 percent – not even as good as today’s 3.7 percent – yet GDP growth was over 4 percent. Ditto for the late 1960s, when we saw years of 6 percent growth. During the mid 1980s, we saw this growth even with higher unemployment rates.

The debt is not just a problem for future generations in terms of a fiscal cost that will be borne by taxpayers. The exclusive focus on the future is what has fostered the Louis XV mentality of “after me, the deluge.” Let’s face it, we are a nation that doesn’t care about the future of our children. What is missing from the discussion is that the debt is permanently weighing down economic growth now.

Let’s peek into the numbers behind today’s topline GDP report. GDP comprises personal consumption expenditures, gross private domestic investment, government spending, and net exports. Seventy percent of the equation is consumption, and the robust 4.3 percent growth in consumption this quarter is a big part of what is keeping us even at 2.1 percent growth. This is not artificial and is good news. Consumption is a sign of a healthy job market, with more people earning money, as well as the tax cuts putting more cash in people’s pockets to spend. No matter whether our economy is fully free market or quasi-socialist, whenever there is more money in people’s pockets, these numbers will go up. We are now in a boom period, and the numbers are good.

But what else is propping up the number? Government spending! Gross government spending, which accounts for about 17.5 percent of the GDP pie, spiked 5 percent. Non-defense spending rose by 15.9 percent!

The only one we mock are you cockroaches and fake news.

So you're saying that the Conservative Review is "fake news"?

Dang, you guys are tough!

Stop shilling for the swamp. People are no longer going to line up before the firing squad as the designated conservatives. Trump is not a conservative. You should call Congress and demand conservative action. But the country is on to you and your rigged partisan system.

Mac has a goal...get the people who broke free of his system and voted for Trump back in line. It doesnt have to make sense because his party doesnt rely on voters with sense. There is no danger to blaming Trump for what a Democrat House passed. Whos going to question it?

That explains a lot.

The Conservative Review isn't playing along. Good for them. Anyone who brings up Trump's exploding debt and flagging economy are immediately mocked by his obedient Trumpsters, but fortunately there are still some Conservatives who are not willing to lie and spin for him.

But I know, I know. The Trumpsters don't care.

Trump can’t be both the president of growth and the president of debt

Earlier today, the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced that the economy had grown just 2.1 percent during the second quarter of this year (ending June 30). It also revised Q4 of 2018 down to just 1.1 percent, which now means that growth during the 12 months ending Q4 of 2018 was only 2.5 percent, not 3 percent as previously thought. This means that the U.S. economy has now gone 14 years without a year-over-year growth of 3 percent. It’s been 19 years since we’ve hit 4 percent, which was during 1997-2000.

While the numbers don’t portend a coming recession, it is highly unusual for us to go for 16 consecutive months with unemployment below 4 percent and 43 months below 5 percent, yet never attain 3 or 4 percent annual GDP growth. In fact, that has never happened before. During the late 1990s, the unemployment rate ranged from 5.3 percent to 3.9 percent – not even as good as today’s 3.7 percent – yet GDP growth was over 4 percent. Ditto for the late 1960s, when we saw years of 6 percent growth. During the mid 1980s, we saw this growth even with higher unemployment rates.

The debt is not just a problem for future generations in terms of a fiscal cost that will be borne by taxpayers. The exclusive focus on the future is what has fostered the Louis XV mentality of “after me, the deluge.” Let’s face it, we are a nation that doesn’t care about the future of our children. What is missing from the discussion is that the debt is permanently weighing down economic growth now.

Let’s peek into the numbers behind today’s topline GDP report. GDP comprises personal consumption expenditures, gross private domestic investment, government spending, and net exports. Seventy percent of the equation is consumption, and the robust 4.3 percent growth in consumption this quarter is a big part of what is keeping us even at 2.1 percent growth. This is not artificial and is good news. Consumption is a sign of a healthy job market, with more people earning money, as well as the tax cuts putting more cash in people’s pockets to spend. No matter whether our economy is fully free market or quasi-socialist, whenever there is more money in people’s pockets, these numbers will go up. We are now in a boom period, and the numbers are good.

But what else is propping up the number? Government spending! Gross government spending, which accounts for about 17.5 percent of the GDP pie, spiked 5 percent. Non-defense spending rose by 15.9 percent!

The only one we mock are you cockroaches and fake news.

And more about me, thanks.

So you're saying that the Conservative Review is "fake news"?

Dang, you guys are tough!


.

I see you identify with the cockroaches, sanctimonious fence-sitter faggot Mac1958.

All this drama queening from the Trumpsters over one little fact-filled piece written by a conservative.

Aww.
.

How many times are you going to say "conservative"? Democrats appealing to conservatism just doesnt work like it used to.

Hussein doubled the debit and told Americans that good jobs were gone while he bragged about the increase in food stamp recipients. No complaint from lefties. In the two years of Trump the DOW went up about 40% and unemployment fell to historic levels. Trump is trying to get a better deal with China foreign trade and lefties are fighting him every step of the way. The dirty little secret is that TDS lefties hate everything that is good about America.

Still you assfucks blame Obama for the effects of the Bush recession.

We hate TRUMP., That fat assed, lying piece of shit that is running up the debt & fucking up global trade, made a mess of the border, is a racist fuck, and is selling out America to the Russians.

So really, we love America,. You love Trump. Maybe one day you will figure it out.

You're such an idiot.

The words of a person who has nothing intelligent to say, otherwise they would have said it. No further point reading you.

By the time Frank became chairman of that committee, the economy train had already come off the rails, it just hadn't crashed yet.

Pretty neat trick considering it was Bawney's bills that derailed and crashed it. Bye.

[There is no danger to blaming Trump for what a Democrat House passed. Whos going to question it?

I wonder why you guys don't have the balls to refute the piece written by the conservative in the article.
.

It is anti-Trump agit-prop.

We will grow out of the debt as a percentage of the national production, of which the deficit is not even 5% of the total.

That is not out of proportion and as the Wrodl REserve currency we don't have to pay it off as other countries keep up demand for the petrodollar.
