Why is it that we still have new GOP candidates at all?

[BookShaka]

The GOP doesn’t at all give a shit about anyone besides top earners and corporations in this country. Why? Because they are bitches to corporate lobbying. It’s not like they have any actual principles. Granted, Democrats tend to be owned by lobbyists as well, but at least they still push a progressive agenda to an extent. Republicans don’t do jack shit as far as issues that matter to the population as a whole such as affordable healthcare, infrastructure, and stagnant wages way behind on inflation. A lot of democrats actually push such an agenda.

In Reagan’s time, I wouldn’t question why politicians ran as republicans. Those people had actual values at the time. Nowadays, it’s them simply selling their souls to corporate special interests for the sake of financial gain. Nothing else adds up to explain today’s GOP.

Have you not been paying attention to what Trump and the GOP has accomplished since he's been in office, Billy? I know it's not being reported by the main stream media but right now the economy is doing great, unemployment is at record lows, we got a better trade deal with Mexico and Canada, we already got a better trade deal with the EU, hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs have been created and now Trump is squeezing China for fair trade deals. A better question is why would anyone want to put another party in power when the one that is in there is getting so much done?

Lol oh you mean the economy that was already doing well under Obama? Either way, wages have been way behind of inflation for decades. The GOP definitely didn’t even try to fix that. Obama at least tried to raise the federal minimum wage to a mere $3 which includes a raise on most state minimum wages. And despite ACA being flawed, it was at least a good attempt to make Heathcare more affordable. After all, 20 million people gained healthcare insurance. The GOP hasn’t done jack shit to even try.

So because Trump made a deal on something, that automatically means it’s a good idea? Why? Because Fox News or some other RW dick-sucking republican source said so?

Lol dude your own graph shows the recession was going down around 2009.

And it shows the stimulous didn't provide shovel ready jobs..



View attachment 221375

Lol this is so dumb. Okay so Obama said the phrase “shovel ready” once and that somehow means the stimulus was a failure?

Of course it was a failure, the stimulus money was spent on public employees who already had jobs. Remember Obama's famous "created or SAVED jobs" phrase, there you go. State tax revenues were way down, rather than lay off state public employees like the private sector had to do they mooched on the stimulus money to avoid layoffs. They used the stimulus money to make payroll for 2 years. When the private sector unemployment was at its peak public employee unemployment was virtually unchanged at 3.8%.

The money eventually ran out, after it was wasted with nothing to show for it then states finally had to cut back.

Exactly if you study where the money went it was to the public sector, where it wasn't needed, alot of the money was not even spent because their was never any shovel ready jobs .

The stimulus money was supposed to get private sector blue collar workers back to work, instead Dem's confiscated it.

Nothing about this makes any sense.

Yea they do they got rid of the tax mandate and build infrastructure around new company's to attract new bussiness, alot better then obamas almost trillion dollars for planting new trees ( I still can't believe Obama spent 2 billion dollars on signs)

Nothing you are saying is based around actual facts.

It's proof I know you were only 5 years old back then but ask your teacher, once again Obama spent almost a trillion dollars on trees and 2 billion dollars on signs ..

Christ dude. Half of Obama’s stimulus package cost were TAX CUTS. Tax cuts that included extending the Bush tax cuts. How about you try to educate yourself for once?

All I know is right after Obama began his second term my paycheck took a severe beating. Should I have blamed the GOP for that?

“but at least they still push a progressive agenda to an extent.“
They sure do....their regressive agenda looks like this:
Free shit for fuck ups
Open borders / wetbacks first
Free shit for wetbacks
Choose your gender
Men in dresses should shit next to little girls
Save a tree, fuck thousands out of work

Nobody good and sane wants any part of your warped party platform bud. You Loons are asshurt because you’re finally being called out on all your weird, fucked up in the head twisted bullshit....that’s all.

'The GOP doesn’t at all give a shit about anyone besides top earners and corporations in this country.'

- Strongest economy in decades.

- Lowest unemployment in decades.

- Lowest minority unemployment in recorded history

- More Americans working at 1 time ever

- Trump brought back manufacturing jobs Obama said would NEVER come back ... not so top earners and corporations could work those jobs

- More full-time jobs

- Higher wages, bonuses, job advancement

- Fewer Americans dependent on Welfare, unemployment, Food Stamps, DEMOCRATS, & the govt

- More Americans paying taxes instead of living month to month off of tax payer funded social programs

'A Rising Tide Lifts ALL Boats'
- A concept too difficult for liberals and snowflakes to understand, evidently...

The OP seems to launch a 'Christine Ford'-esque accusation .... Missing evidence.... which has now been provided for him.

.You're welcome.

All of that shit was already happening before Trump. You can deny it all you want but it’s true. His policies reflect none of it

Even if that’s true where is all this ruining of the country Trump’s doing? That you’re saying Obama is responsible for the current positivity in the country doesn’t fit your narrative that Trump, a REPUBLICAN, is the devil incarnate.

I never said he was ruining the economy but it’s obviously going to get worse with his tariffs and the exploding deficit.

I'm curious, Billy...you say that it's obvious that the economy will get worse because of tariffs? Didn't we impose tariffs on both the EU and Canada? Refresh my memory on how all of that worked out! Didn't the EU and Canada come to the table and give us better trade agreements? With all due respect...I don't think it's OBVIOUS that tariffs will hurt the economy! Going by what happened with the EU and Canada it's quite likely that tariffs will cause the Chinese to give us better trade agreements.

Democrats, Liberals, and snowflakes are all 'Fear-Mongers' and 'Doom-Sayers' when the GOP is in control, especially when everything is going well, and especially at election time, warning everyone of Armageddon if they do not turn away from the on-going prosperity and embrace dependence on the Democrats and the government, the only ones who can save them....

The deficit was already exploded and the tarrifs will even the playing field. You're not too bright, are ya?

 

[easyt65]

Congress controls the purse strings

Congress controls Spending.

The tax cuts have reportedly resulted in the highest amount of tax revenue collected.
-- Most Americans working ever = more taxes paid / more tax revenue collected.

The Republicans, as far as deficits go, are proving they are no better on deficit spending than the Democrats were. Record money coming in means nothing more to politicians of all shape, color, and size than 'more money to spend'.

The tax cuts did their part - strongest economy, lowest unemployment, increased tax revenue....the 'single point of failure', if you will, remains those in charge of spending the money. They have a habit of spending money as if they found a bag of cash on the side of the road instead of realizing this money is OURS and we have a large debt to pay off while paying for everything else.

Um no it hasn’t. Obama reduced the deficit by 2/3 after Bush. You’re thinking of the DEBT. The deficit is what is more harmful to the economy.

Did you even listen to what you cited, Billy? The point was made in that piece that auto sales were down across the industry...with companies like Toyota as well as Ford! So did you want to explain how Trump's tariffs have hurt Toyota's numbers? Job layoffs are due more to automation than they are from tariffs!
