U.S. farmers taking it with no vaseline

[Scipio2009]

Who knows?!?!

Anyone who knows basic Economics knows!!

It's a simple question....if revenue is up and yet deficits are up too, how did that happen?

Any high school kid should know the simple answer.

Do you?

And yes, I want the answer. Hence me asking the question. Duh!!

Please, dont tell me I have to educate you on the most basic Economics concepts before we press on. Please tell me you know the answer.....

Donald Trump is riding the a 10-year run of an ever improving economy, with the US approaching full employment, and he's set for deficits for his whole presidency, with the cake already baked to see $1T deficits for at least 2 of his 4 years.

The Federal Reserve will move from 0.25% to a figure between 2.5% and 3%, and that's assuming the recession doesn't actually come or some bubble doesn't pop.

Enjoy

2% GDP growth and falling wages is not an "improving economy".

I must be direct and ask you to start addressing my points and answering my questions, as opposed to just copy-and-pasting D talking points.

Its growing old.

I must again ask you to explain how deficits grew when revenue rose.

The answer is simple, unless you're one with little to no knowledge of Economics who is just parroting talking points.

I need to gauge where you're at here.

So far it's looking like I'll need to explain alot of the basics to you before we keep going.

You ducking that simple question is speaking volumes about a lack of education and knowledge here. Hence my question.

Get to it this year, please.

• Some sort of mass shooting at least once a week
• Parents allowing children to undergo sex changes/refusing to teach their kids about gender
• Job losses going increasingly higher
• Liberal judges violating a baker's rights to refuse business when targeted by a gay couple
• Clerk getting attacked for not issuing licenses to a gay couple, a couple that refused to go to another county for service
• More press and uproar about the children of illegal immigrants than the many hundreds of thousands of kids who get taken from legal citizen criminals EVERY DAY
• A bunch of uproar about plastic straws, rather than fixing the real problem (you as an individual are NOT required to accept a straw)
• Some nutcase able to walk into one of the most well known hotels in the US fully strapped like it was the Apocalypse, not a lick of security screening, and gun down innocents like he was the DC Sniper
• Fat white women calling the cops on black people that aren't committing crimes, with no punishment for wasted tax money
• Obamacare that basically forced people with money to pay for the healthcare of broke people
• Nutcases like Ksharma Sawant triggering people to lobby for an unsustainable minimum wage despite the fact it won't make a dent and actually increases their tax liability
• California telling people to rip their lawns out despite farmers being the #1 water waster for silly things like cashews
• People attacking childhood mainstays like Sea World over isolated incidents and "captivity" yet they're got no problems going to zoos
• Internet basically shuts down for a day over a dead gorilla
• Media thinks that Kylie Kardashian's new hairstyle is breaking news
• Ford deciding to go all SUV in total disregard of fuel efficiency
• Companies demanding Bachelor's degrees for jobs that don't require it, then complaining they can't find skilled workers in the US and outsource to India
• Unregulated airlines having plane engines explode, FBI raiding over a broken radio, pilots board and rant about the President (she probably would have taken the plane down in depression), people getting beat and dragged off planes, etc
• Romaine lettuce sickening people nationwide, they still haven't fully contained it nor do they know how. They won't ban it until they get a handle on it
• Victimless crimes like paid sex between consenting adults yet a depressed 18 year old can easily walk in and buy guns
• Bill Cosby getting jail time for giving Quaaludes to girls (who accepted them at a time they were legal) 30 years ago yet false rape claims from women go unpunished

And that's just off the top of my head.

No, America was great back in the 70's, good back in the 80's, decent in the 90's, downhill from there.

U listed things mostly about humans being well human. I can’t stand us either. We humans are vile pos. Human will be humans everywhere in the world.

That said, I hear yiu. I can list just as many complaints. I can list plenty more positives.

I was primarily talking about the US over all. Best economy. Best place to live. BEst justices system. Best Medical system(if u can afford it), most diverse, best military, best polic forces, best educational systems(university’s if u can afford it ) best place for opportunity of success. Etc.

Before you respond. Consider first the alternatives.

I was primarily talking about the US over all. Best economy.

Economy has been on the decline since Obama took office and tried to socialize everything. Trump fixed some and is trying to fix more. We're still in major debt and getting raked over the coals by other major countries with bad deals that compel us to burn money on foreign soil.

Best place to live.

Depends on your priority. I would argue that Australia and New Zealand are better on mental health.

BEst justices system.

A system that locks people up for accepting money for sex; labels a 18 year old who had consensual sex with their 17 year old partner a sex offender and a rapist; lets female teachers who rape kids go free and locks male teachers who rape kids up for egregious accounts of years; where you can be arrested for not answering jury duty summons; where cops can shoot unarmed black people with no jail time; and where Bill Cosby can be locked up in total disregard on Statute of Limitations.

All while bank CEOs can steal millions from citizens and not see any jail time, and credit agencies can expose citizens to identity theft and not be punished at all.

Best Medical system(if u can afford it),

So basically, we're no longer dying from diseases. We're dying from incompetence.

most diverse

Due to multiple wars and concessions, sure. As well as trampling on American rights. Forcing legal citizens to show a driver's licence yet illegals don't have to because "they can't get one". Disney forcing hard working Americans to train Indian H1B workers prior to layoff and severance held hostage.

I'm not even going through the rest, I don't have the time.

Trump's first budget deficit was over $650b, with his second year budget deficit already on track to head over $1T, in an environment where the US is basically approaching full employment.

Bury your head in the sand if you want

Why do you feel the need to follow me from topic to topic? I didn't even quote you in this topic yet here you are following me around

I'm not following you, I'm following the thread. You'll notice I've been posting in it.

Just post on topic and dont worry about what I do.

2% GDP growth and falling wages is not an "improving economy".

For production and nonsupervisory employees, real average hourly earnings decreased 0.1 percent, seasonally adjusted, over the 12-month period ending in May 2018.

https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2018/re...o-may-2018.htm

Economic growth for the first quarter of 2018:


1st quarter 2018: 2.0 percent

So what should Trump and Congress do to get an "improving economy"?
