MLD Woody Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 As far as GDP growth goes, it has to be hard to determine what is a direct result of current president actions and what are lagging direct results from past actions. I would also imagine Obama inheriting an economy in a recession didn't help his average overall. Trump's numbers have definitely been positive, but he seems to have taken over a better situation as well. Just for perspective here.

But don't worry the banks have been unfettered again to Make America Go Down Again. The Trillion$$ deficit setting in for 2019 should assist in that effort along with the wonderful tariffs.

Unfortunately that's true. As soon as you Democrats take over the house and or the Senate the economy will hit the skids so you can blame Trump. Just like the George W bush economy 2 years in.

I've always been an independent conservative, though after talking with my cousin I'm leaning towards Libertarian. But if the right Republican runs against Trump in the primaries, I may join the election team efforts just to get rid of this conman.

Constantly getting contacted about jobs, a lot of places hiring, etc. My company is tied to construction and we're busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly getting contacted about jobs, a lot of places hiring, etc. My company is tied to construction and we're busy. u know part of that, if not the significant majority, has to be the lowering of the corporate tax rate. Since tariffs are essentially political now, i highly doubt companies are making these kinds of moves based on something that could change 180 degrees in 2 years. democrats were morons for keeping thise high corporate taxes when even alot of liberal economists were saying yeah 30%+ is ridiculous. Just because there were companies, who prob donated to alot of campaigns, that were able to loophole their way to a lower rate? they had to keep it high to make up for all the companies that had large enough legal depts to get out of paying sht?

People including George Will and the Weekly Standard have problems with his previously liberal positions on some things. Koch brothers stated right off the bat they wanted one of the traditional candidates, most likely somebody that would play ball. I personally can't imagine Jeb Bush rolling back regulations or cutting the capital gains tax. Can you? They didn't support Trump ever. And In fairness just like predicting a losing season for the Browns something could always happen and the economy will start going South. My prediction is it will happen quickly if the Democrats take over the houses. But it is actually a game of musical chairs and whoever's in charge when the Music Stops will take the blame.

WSS I agree with that. It also often works that what was started previously is what set in motion good things that happen in the first year or so of the inheritor, but the inheritor always takes credit regardless of party. I'm leaning towards my cousin's Libertarian Party these days. Republican Party have become nutless wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course what President Obama set in motion had nothing to do with rolling back regulations and lowering the cap gains rate which are instrumental. His recovery, as they call it, was the slowest in history. You are correct about the Republican Party but the Libertarians are kind of a little Fringe group of goofballs which I don't think we'll have any more luck dealing with Republicans and Democrats in Congress than the outsider Trump does.

Hey there are all sorts of things to read out there about Libertarians. I would love to be a libertarian but they are just so all over the board. Socially I give zero Shmucks about gay marriage or abortion but I think abortion is creepy and unnecessary if people would take the slightest bit of responsibility. I do respect the rights of the people who think it's murder. And I'm pretty sure Libertarians aren't as generous with the mountains of free shitt. And good luck getting the Republicans and Democrats in the houses to go along with anything especially tax-wise . Not so sure about the isolationist version of foreign policy and I hate the open borders gag. Ronald Reagans werent significantly different from Donald Trump but he didn't have hatred of both parties and Trump is decidedly more of an a hole in his public demeanor.

I'm not being sexist I think men and women look at things differently. I read a couple of Jacqueline Suzanne many years ago. I hated The Hunger Games. Still the TV series poldark is very good but I don't know how the books are. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
