    What Democrats will run on.

    Ah, where to begin: Economy: the White House has released it's own estimation of new massive debt because of Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Add in the tariffs and what you have are the super rich getting super, super rich and Trump's base suffering. And Trump's "fix" is more massive cuts for...

    Nancy Pelosi: Continuing To Be The GOP's Best Friend

    In 2011 the Obama Administration did a little "smoke and mirrors" with the payroll tax, adding (on average) about $40 per paycheck. Then House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi praised Obama and exclaiming "victory for all Americans," adding, "160 million Americans will continue to receive their...

    How does government help the economy?

    During political campaigns, a huge focus is the economy. But how does government help the economy? All economy, no matter how complex, breaks down to simply trades between individuals. Employees trade their labor for pay, consumers trade their pay for products and services, etc. What can...

    The Economic Explosion

    Indisputable proof that that everything conservatives have stated about economics is 100% true and that everything progressives have said about economics is 100% false. All of these corporations are giving bonuses to their employees, hiring more, investing resources in their business, etc...

    H.R. 1, “Tax cuts and jobs act”

    H.R. 1, “Tax cuts and jobs act”: Within the proposed “Tax Cuts & Jobs Act”, the populist proposal doubling the standard deduction is of conspicuous merit, and eliminating the alternative minimum tax would be contemptible.

    It's been 17 years since consumers felt this good about the U.S. economy

    Coupled with record breaking Dow, lowest UE since 1973 and a 3% growth rate with no tax cuts and you have to wonder when the Dems will drop this losing non stop attack on Pres Trump. “Consumers’ assessment of current conditions improved, boosted by the job market which had not received such...

    Remember Sarbanes Oxley?

    Democrat Kamala Harris obliterated on Twitter

    The Dems need to be a LOT smarter than pointing out problems just a month into President Trump's term. Rational people will not lay those problems at his feet - and thus it only goes to illustrate the profound failure of the Obama Administration. Dem Kamala Harris tried to blame Trump for...

    Mona Charen: Trump — The Anti-Business Businessman

    We've been instructed not to take our new president literally but instead seriously (in the felicitous phrasing of Salena Zito).

    Appreciation or Depreciation in 2017 - Can Trump Save The Day?

    This is one of the BEST economic collapse videos for 2017 (US & World) I’ve seen. I know not everyone will agree, as the stock market is at an all time high and businesses are growing. Unless the ISIS war expands, more developing countries collapse (Vens) or Trump actually does a trade war –...
