OldBrownsFan Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 With our mainstream media reporting almost 90 percent negative stories on Trump just wonder how they will tell this story. Consumer confidence is high, the economy is on the upswing since Trump took office. The MSM will find fault with everything in this administration. Even stories that are favorable they will look for the unfavorable things to report on. I saw that with the jobs Trump helped save with the Carrier plant. The MSM story on nightly news were finding fault with the amount of jobs that were claimed to be saved instead of crediting Trump for saving jobs. I have seen them do this on other stories as well. I have made a point of watching nightly news since before Trump was elected and I can honestly say I haven't seen any of their news stories that portray the Trump administration in a positive light. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-10/u-s-jobs-wages-show-solid-gains-in-trump-s-first-full-month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 The left fights emotionally - as the primary motivation for fighting. That lets them flip on issues when they ...feel like it. Hypocrisy abounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 It certainly does. But let's not get too crazy, it's one month and the left will do everything within their power to fuck things up. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadbrownsfan Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I would be cautious about popping the cork on the champagne, most of Trumps changes have yet to filter through. Any changes to the economy is a mixture of the previous administrations work and speculation on the effects of the new administration. (I would wait for at least 6 months before you start judging the change). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I would wait for at least 6 months before you start judging the change). I think what we are seeing is optimism over what people are expecting Trump to do. Lower taxes and less regulations and that will light a fire under our economy. There is a reason we had one of the worst economic recoveries coming out of a recession under Obama with companies burdened down with excessive taxes and regulations.

calfoxwc Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 http://www.investors...ant-you-to-see/ "While 14.4 million jobs were created from February 2010 to March 2016, the number of people who dropped out of the labor force -- either because they retired or just quit looking for work -- shot up an astonishing 10 million. Meanwhile, the number of people who aren't in the labor force but do want to work is higher today than when Obama took office. And the median length of unemployment is now 11.4 weeks, which is also higher than when Obama took office. In many areas of life, slow and steady will win the race. But when it comes to job growth, slow and steady ends up leaving millions of workers in the dust." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 In the case of THIS president, it fits with his declarations of intent to fix the tax rates and structures....etc. Effects of it started even before his inauguration in a small way.
