This Seems Like A Pointless Exercise

RE: This Seems Like A Pointless Exercise
Job Growth has actually slowed. GDP growth is impressive in a way, but we're in a bubble. Every time you massively deregulate and cut taxes for the rich you get a boom bust cycle. History has proven this again and again with the the biggest example being the "roaring 20's" and "the great depression." Or Reagan's tax cut's and deregulation. Or Bush Jr.s which seem to have just skipped right to the bust cycle. Even George H.W. Bush thinks the idea of reducing taxes for the rich without increases the debt and deficit is "voodoo economics."

The question is, how bad will it be when the bubble we're in bursts. It always does.

I’m sure by the time it bursts they’ll have figured out a way to lay it on the dems.  😏

Lol America the most virtuous society

And no all the stuff Neo And Clown boy are trying to say are because of Trump . Were started before him or are circumstantial with nothing to do with his  non leadership . Nope Trump's first  roller coaster ride of failures chaos and incompetence  and national embarrassment and killing American credibility on the world stage .

Quote:I think Trump hit a grand slam home run, except for his sellout on wanting to make 1.8 million illegal aliens citizens.
Nope a whole bunch of better players did the grand slam .  Trump because he happened to be on the field and took credit for them all . After he struck out every ball and pissed the umpire off and challenged him to a fist fight for calling his hands small . Then had his ass kicked to laughing crowds which were smaller then when Obama was on the field .

It literally cracked under the last few months of the GWB administration, but a substantial part of the Trump base seems to think Obama did that.

Only if the match is being played by two teams of Trump, with Trump as the referee, a crowd made up entirely of Trumps and with Trump operating the scoreboard.

But I still maintain that Trump is the best thing that's happened to US politics in decades.

The former GOP vision, as you call it, was Democrat-lite. Now that we have an apparently more conservative leader we're already to seeing progress on poverty (low minority unemployment), longevity (lower cost prescription drugs - coming soon), and less undemocratic bureaucratic rules (deregulation).

Gee, however did minority unemployment fall in half under Obama?
