Booming Economy? For Who? The Untold Story Of The Trump Economy

Trump could cure cancer and you’d still bitch and moan.

Give it a rest already.
You equate failing at tax cuts to curing cancer?

Are you insane or just desperate?

How is it failing? All economic reports say it's quite a success.
I thought you read the OP?

I did. It doesn't explain how Trump's tax cuts are failing. It tells me how people are failing, but they will fail no matter what. We are slowly becoming a lazy less responsible society.
 
That’s continuing this year. Workers are never going to see that $4,000.
Should they? Would you pay your lawn care company more money if you got a raise? How about your mechanic?

Given the fact more than 45% of our population pays no income tax at all, how would you give them an income tax break?

As for your other statistics, how many of those people who can't afford to pay their bills or can't afford a $400.00 expense have the latest smart phone? The newest video game? A newer car? How many are working over 40 hours a week or have two jobs?

So your statistics are worthless, because chances are those people are not practicing responsibility or bringing in as much money as they possibly can.
Then why did we give the wealthiest folks a raise? Why did they lie to us and tell us it would benefit the less fortunate? Why did you believe them when they said it would but still defend them now that we know it doesn't?

You kids don't make any sense at all.

The fact that we have more work than workers doesn't benefit the little guy?
The fact that Trump brought down taxes for workers doesn't benefit the little guy?

The only people government gives a raise to are government dependents and government workers. Taking less of somebody's money is not giving them a raise.
tRump really didn't bring down taxes for workers. The vast majority of the cuts went to corporations and wealthy folks. The unemployment numbers have nothing to do with the failed tax cut scam, they are the continuation of a decade long trend.

One minor detail, you need to have a job in order to get that tax raise...dumbass.
So, unemployment is a problem for a lot of folks?

Gee, guess you missed the latest job numbers. So it only seems to be a problem for you liberal whiners.
 
President Trump has been in office a little more than two years. Did anyone ever poll "forty percent of workers" after Barry Hussein told them that good factory jobs were gone and never coming back? Hussein couldn't even manage 3% GDP on a yearly average for freaking eight years and lefties afflicted with TDS want to criticize Trump'a roaring economy. No surprises here.
 
Forty percent of workers say they don’t have $400 for an unexpected expense. Twenty percent can’t pay all of their monthly bills. More than a quarter of adults skipped needed medical care last year because they couldn’t afford it. A quarter of adults have no retirement savings.

Corporations got the biggest cut in history, their rate sledgehammered down from 35 percent to 21 percent. The rich reap by far the largest benefit from those tax cuts through 2027, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center. And by then, 53 percent of Americans—that is, workers, not rich people—will pay more than they did in 2017 because tax breaks for workers expire.

The White House Council of Economic Advisers predicted the corporate tax cut would put an extra $4,000 in every worker’s pocket. They swore that corporations would use some of their tax cut money to hand out raises and bonuses to workers. That never happened. Workers got a measly 6 percent of corporations’ tax savings. In the first quarter after the tax cut took effect, workers on average received a big fat extra $6.21 in their paychecks, for an annual total of a whopping $233. Corporations spent their tax breaks on stock buybacks, a record $1 trillion worth, raising stock prices, which put more money in the pockets of rich CEOs and shareholders.

That’s continuing this year. Workers are never going to see that $4,000.


The untold story of Trump’s ‘booming’ economy

It's slowly trickling down. Wait for it now.


Of course the article from you commie hate site isn't saying the vast majority of pay raises are going to lower income jobs. National average in wage growth was 3.2% where wages for lower income workers was 4.6%.

Even though Americans are finding jobs pretty easily, they still aren’t seeing the so-called “economic boom” reflected in their pocketbooks.

April was another month with disappointing wage growth.

Private sector workers (excluding farmworkers) got an average 6-cent hourly raise, adding up to an average hourly pay of $27.77. In the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have only increased by 3.2 percent, and that doesn’t even take inflation into account.

The latest pay data suggests that workers and labor unions will continue to strike to force businesses to boost wages.

Slow income growth has been the weakest part of the US economy in its recovery from the Great Recession. Wages have barely kept up with the cost of living, even as the unemployment rate dropped and the economy expanded.

April’s 6-cent average hourly wage hike suggests more of the same, despite a surprising 10-cent jump in February.

April jobs report: tons of new jobs and teeny-tiny pay raises

You kids don't make any sense at all.
/-----/ "Then why did we give the wealthiest folks a raise? "
Letting people keep more of their own money is not "giving" them anything. And everyone who paid taxes got a cut. Did you send yours back to the Treasury Dept. or did you keep it?

Because the wealthiest folks own the businesses, they do the hiring for expansion, which now has the unemployment rate so low that even an incompetent boob like you could get a 1/2 way decent job!

Maybe that is what is wrong, lol. You afraid that with jobs so plentiful, someone might force you to get a J-O-B!

Fuck you commie, even with the flood of new low income workers coming into the country, wages in that sector are raising faster than any other sector. It would be even better if we actually had control over our borders.

The point is anything genuinely good this man does you libs spin like a top trying to make it bad. Who’s desperate again?

Everyone but you understood that.

Stop being so ignorant.
Lol, basically the only "good" thing he has done is not totally fuck up the economy.

Yet.

Wait, so it's our fault the majority of the tax benefit went to corporations and folks who are already wealthy?

You wanna explain that little bit of sophistry?

The sad thing is this, your Partisan eyes won't allow you to see the truth. The "truth" is this, they ALL work for the same Corps who are ALL beholden to the same banks. Obama was surrounded by Goldman Sachs people.
