Trumpsters, please don't read this

Maybe more than just 50% of Americans should pay taxes! Whatcha think?

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!

No.....we knew Trump wasn't a conservative when we voted for him...what we knew is that he wasn't hilary, an individual who has sold state secrets to China, strategic materials to Russia, hates the 2nd Amendment and who would raise taxes on everyone......and all the rest....

It was a choice between Trump....and maybe getting some conservative things out of him, or hilary, a criminal who sold out her country for cash and whose policies would turn us into a 3rd world country, like California...

I guess I'm missing why you are trying to make this an all-Trump thing. Maybe you're not aware that economies are mainly the domain of Congress? Further, when pointing fingers at the debt, my first thought is the idiot Congress who in 2006 caused the spiraling banking crisis through the Dodd-Frank bill, then Obama coming in and rather than letting bad actors on Wall Street fail and reorganize, spent trillions bailing out the big boys too big to fail while letting the little guy twist in the wind.

We didn't get to 21-22 trillion overnight. When Obama took office in early 2009, we were only at about 9 trillion. It took Barack to put us at 19 trillion.

Now if you want to see that as a Trump deflection, knock yourself out, but the damage is already done.

Dodd Frank in 2006? Really?

I love it when you stupid fucks have to lie to blame Obama when anyone with a fucking brain knows Obama inherited a trillion plus deficit in the midst of the worst recession in 80 years.

BT, the debt was about 10.5 trillion when Obama took office - after your hero GW doubled the debt (after taking over a balanced budget).

All you assholes do is lie. Oh Obama did this & Obama did that.

The fact is Republicans nearly killed America under Bush, Obama brought us back, amd now Trump is taking us down .

Please, quit posting is get a fuickling education.

You KNEW Trump was a liar, fraud, business cheat, groper, women abuser, racist, accused child rapist, spousal rapist, adulterer with no experience in governmemt, foreign relations, or the military,

And you asdsficks STILL voted for ho,m.

And quyit uisuo0ng Hillary as an excuse because ypu assfucks voted for him in the Primary.

You people are just hilarious. YOU decided to vote for Trump & then try to run away from that vote.

BTW, what secret did Hillary sell to China? Trump's policy is skyrocketing the debt while building a house of cards as Trump is making millions duping feeble minded morons like you.

I'm a painter. It's one of those boring as hell jobs you know? So I like to put the radio on and just work. Typically it was just background noise but lately I notice when Rush is on more and more calls come in talking about the debt and all the spending. Rush is polite about it and say "Trump never ran as a conservative "! What? The local guy will flat out call you an Alex Jones acolyte and hang up on you. And the average trumpkin (in my experience) ain't as rabid as they were. But yeah, what about that national Debt everyone was so worried about? That was a big thing they said of Obama all the time. Notice trumps waterboy Sean Hannity, the regestred "conservative" won't even spit Trumps penis out long enough to take a question on it at all? That's the exact same thing he gets after and got after the other networks for doing with Obama. One is as bad as the other when it comes to money. They could at least be honest about it.

Okay, to update:

In response to Conservative Review's fact-filled piece on Trump:

• It's the Dems' fault
• It's the OP's fault
• But Obama
• Trump is just a bystander
  
• The OP has TDS
• The OP is a hack
• The OP needs to go back on his meds

Outstanding so far.
.

Ask stupid questions, get correct answers then try to act like a smug ass

You're better off on ignore

"Stupid question"? I posted a piece from a conservative publication.

Is Conservative Review stupid? Is that what you're saying?

You just don't have a response, because talk radio hasn't told you want to think yet.

So you just attack. It's all you know.
.

For someone who wants people to believe he resides somewhere in the middle... You argue just like a dyed in the wool leftist. You've even adopted their strategy of using criticisms the right accurately places on the left, and in an attempt to lessen the sting... Try to use it on the right. But it doesn't work. Much like when the right accurately coined the term "snowflake". The left had no rebuttal, and it burned their ass to no end. So what did they do? They just started using it too. Hoping it would sting the right, as badly as it stung the left.
They do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... And the leftists never seem to tire of flattering the Right. Yourself included. With your talk radio bit; as a retaliatory accusation to the left's mindless regurgitation of CNN talking points, and deafening silence until such talking points have been issued. And just like the Left, you yourself, along with your contributions are absent original thought, as though you fear to take a guess, or think for yourself. So instead you simply sit back and criticize, never taking a stand, or a risk... Just playing it in a manner that you feel is "safe". But it is your manner that betrays you. Its leftist all the way. Just more cowardly than most...

More about me, nothing about the article. Thanks.

So where is the Dem House bill that balances the budget?

Good question. Why didn't Trump ask that?

Where is HIS?
.

Why does he need to ask for it?

Dems control the House, it’s on them to pass a budget.

Oh, okay. It's just out of his hands. He's kind of an innocent bystander.

Well, that explains it. Now I feel bad for the guy.
.

Yes, unfortunately he can’t force Congress to do its job.

If he vetoes the bills then he gets demonized by you regressives for being inhumane for shutting down the government. You can’t have it both ways.

Yes, we've already had a couple votes for "Trump is the victim", thanks.

It was a choice between Trump....and maybe getting some conservative things out of him, or hilary, a criminal who sold out her country for cash and whose policies would turn us into a 3rd world country, like California...

Liberals have lost the concept of nuance.


THEY feel a need to believe that each person they support politically, is the next JFK or something,


WE don't.


But they can't wrap their minds around that.

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!

I hate to disappoint you, Mac, but President Trump has landed hard on liars and creeps in this nation who think of nothing but cheating Americans out of their Bill of Rights through their pantywaist Socialism that becomes full-fledged Communism by the time they get power. He has God on his side, and the Wiccans who want to bring down the founder's America haven't figured that one out yet. :yay:

Okay, well, maybe Trump and God can fix what Trump has done.

You got it all wrong, Mac. God called President Trump who knows the ways of the Demmies and has the courage to do right by the American people and not the United Nations BLOC. (Bad League Of Creepsisters)

Trump supporters have never cared about facts and the truth – they’re not going to start now.

You KNEW Trump was a liar, fraud, business cheat, groper, women abuser, racist, accused child rapist, spousal rapist, adulterer with no experience in governmemt, foreign relations, or the military,

And you asdsficks STILL voted for ho,m.

And quyit uisuo0ng Hillary as an excuse because ypu assfucks voted for him in the Primary.

You people are just hilarious. YOU decided to vote for Trump & then try to run away from that vote.

BTW, what secret did Hillary sell to China? Trump's policy is skyrocketing the debt while building a house of cards as Trump is making millions duping feeble minded morons like you.

Your lies and spin aside, he was also better than the crap the leadership was offering.


Or are you really a big fan of Jeb Fucking Bush?

Just pointing out the half black dude never had any military or government or business experience either. He never even showed up to vote before he was president. You are as bad as a trumpkin.

Military experience has never been a requirement to be President. Civilian control of the military. That is the rule.

The problem is we the people. Only way to reduce debt is to get the budget under control and the only way to do that is to reduce entitlements that neither the Democrat nor the Republican voters want to do. Zero to do with Trump or Clinton or anyone else. Most people will not vote for a candidate who will increase the retirement age, lower Medicare or attack Medicaid. This is a huge mistake but the issue is us.

But you folks aren't very good at hiding the fact that you're avoiding the article in the OP, from a conservative site.

Since you can't refute what the article says, you go after me personally. Wingers are very consistent.
