Suck it up Buttercup!

[Edgetho]

US GDP growth was at 2.1 percent in January 2020. US GDP growth never even got close to Trump's promised 4 to 6 percent growth during his entire term.

Guess where US GDP growth is right now, this very moment?

2.1 percent.

Idiot.

Guess where inflation is right now, this very moment? 3.70% douchebag

Last year? 8.20% fuckwad

So let me do some 3rd grade math, which is beyond your ability -- 2.1% growth. 3.7% inflation. Sounds like The People are losing again. Last year, 2.1% growth, 8.20% inflation.

No one was worried about deflation, moron.

With all the massive spending by Obama and Trump, ZIRP, and the Fed's ballooning balance sheet, everyone was worried about inflation.

And that concern came to fruition after Trump left a giant mess behind.

As you note, it wasn't just Trump.

In January of 2020, when Trump was POTUS, we were AT PEACE, the economy was BOOMING, people had hope for their futures...

Then dimocrap FILTH found a way to steal an election. So they did. You did.

You can deny it all you want but the reality is -- dimocrap FILTH stole a presidential and installed THE worst POTUS in American History and quite possibly the worst leader in Human History.

There will be a reckoning. And I hope it is a terrible reckoning

Gee...you have no proof and you also have 8,000 other folks who have lost on the same Election Day (most of them democrats by the way) who never uttered a peep about voter fraud.

Shut the fuck up you whiny piece of shit.

 

[g5000]

As did Obama.

Absolutely.

 

[candycorn]

Difference being that all those idiots had super-high inflation to go along with their GDP increase. So high it, in fact, negated the gains in GDP.

Not Trump. We had a booming economy and the Fed was worried about DEflation. Remember? Of course you don't. You only know what your Slave Masters in the fucking media tell you.

NEW: Economic Comeback Under President Trump Breaks 70-Year Record – The White House

So his $8T in new debt was a good thing...according to the Trump White House.

Yeah...you’re crazy. Put down the crack pipe.

Wages are finally rising faster than inflation. Will Americans ever feel like it?​

As you note, it wasn't just Trump.

But the tards actually bleev it's just a Democrat thing.

I honestly don't know how someone can have that much brain damage and still be able to operate a keyboard.

Whenever a Republican overspends, the tards whine, "The devil Democrats made him do it!"

Fucking bullshit.

In January of 2020, when Trump was POTUS, we were AT PEACE, the economy was BOOMING, people had hope for their futures...

I have pointed out I don't know how many times that Trump used the exact same trick every politician uses to create an artificial "boom" in the economy.

You see, rube, government spending is a significant part of the GDP. So if you want to artificially boost the economy all you have to do is explode government spending.

And that is precisely what Donald "I'm The King Of Debt" Trump did.

He added as much to the debt as Obama, except in half the time!

And then the tards like you actually dare to claim Republicans are fiscally responsible.

Trump left office with less people employed than when he entered. THAT is the real sign of economic growth and prosperity.

 

[g5000]

Here is the formula for GDP:

GDP = C + G + I + NX. C is equal to all private consumption, or consumer spending, in a nation's economy, G is the sum of government spending, I is the sum of all the country's investment, including businesses capital expenditures and NX is the nation's total net exports, calculated as total exports minus total imports (NX = Exports - Imports).

Gross Domestic Product - GDP


Our politicians have figured out it is easier to artificially juice our GDP with big government spending rather than do the heavy lifting of enacting policies which will make our economy stronger.

They have been doing this for DECADES.

 

[g5000]

The irony of this is that the federal debt is a drag on economic growth. And so as the debt gets bigger and bigger, our politicians find it necessary to spend more and more and more to keep juicing the economy.

Then they hypnotize the willfully stupid rubes into believing they are trying to do something about it.

The fact is, neither party has the guts to make the hard choices which will make our economy strong again.

It's all about pain avoidance. If our elected officials did what was right, the short term pain would cause the rube herd to scream like the welfare queens they are. So our politicians give us exactly what we demand of them.

We get the politicians we deserve.

We are now at the point where the pain we have been kicking down the road is getting bigger and bigger, and when the inevitable time comes that we can't kick this fucking immovable object any further, things are going to really suck. And everyone will be pointing fingers at each other when they should be looking in the mirror for the culprit.

We had an expression the military whenever we had to do something unpleasant. "It's a real shit sandwich, and everybody has to take a bite."

Take a good hard look at this graph. It shows how much of our economy is government spending.

Whenever you are tempted to brag about Trump's economic "boom", remember this graph. Look how much this motherfucker increased the percent of GDP which was government spending.

There's your fake "boom", in your face.

And don't even THINK of claiming it was because of Covid. The gray vertical line is when Covid kicked in. Trump ramped up BEFORE Covid.

There is why we have inflation now.

People who think inflation magically happened overnight are profoundly ignorant rubes, and your MAGA media takes advantage of your ignorance.

Inflation doesn't happen overnight.

In addition to Trump massively increasing spending and ramping up government spending as a percentage of GDP, the Federal Reserve injected trillions upon trillion upon trillions into the economy to prop it up.

This is what I am talking about when I say we kick the inevitable pain down the road and just make the problem bigger and bigger until the day comes when we can't kick it down the road any further.

If we dealt with the pain when we should have, it would not have been anywhere near as bad as it will be when the piper comes for his due.

How badly has the Fed performed? Take a look at their balance sheet.

 

[Woodznutz]

You are a total sap. A rube. A credulous moron. You willfully ignore reality.

Show me where the Republicans opposed Trump's $8 trillion debt.

When Trump entered the White House, and the Republicans controlled both the House and Senate, they immediately set to work doubling the deficit.


They say the devil's greatest trick was convincing the world he doesn't exist.

The Republicans' greatest trick is convincing rubes like you they are fiscally responsible.

All politicians and parties use the budget to buy votes, and the voters lap it up like pigs with both feet in the feeding trough and the slop squirting out of both side of their mouths.

U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, standing on the bed of a bright red truck, delivered a passionate defense of her votes opposing U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan's bid for House speaker

“I am never going to quit fighting for Iowa, and I am never going to quit fighting for this country," Miller-Meeks yelled at her annual fundraiser event Friday night. "So if you think you can intimidate me, go … suck it up, buttercup!"

“I’m not a Democrat. I am a proud Republican," Miller-Meeks said. "Why do I want to get appropriations bills across? … It’s because every one of those appropriations bills has Republican priorities and Republican policies."

Essentially, she is saying that Jordon and the conservatives threatened ending the massive spending, thus possible future government shutdowns. So, she is going to continue to vote like a democrat, while at the same time, assuring everyone she is not.

For congressman Meeks, the crazies are the ones that are concerned with the largest debt created in human history and not those who created it.

RIP Unites States, the government by and for the democrat Marxists

"Suck it up Buttercup!" from the party that is still whining about the last election?

Thank the lord these idiots don't get irony. Would be harder to make fun of them.

During the 2008 crash, the Fed's balance sheet started at around $1 trillion and was ramped up to about 2 and a quarter trillion.

Today, it stands at eight and a half fucking trillion dollars.

Now would be a good time for folks to read my topic: The Fed's Bond Bubble Doomsday Machine

I predicted our government would inflate their way out of this fucking mess.

 

[g5000]

The rubes are deflected from these realities with daily fauxrages about trannies and Mexicans.

I've had it up to here with these willfully stupid dumb fucks allowing themselves to be led around by the rings in their noses.

Remember that there is no difference between our political leaders and the people. Neither know what they're doing.

Well, as I often say, we get the politicians we deserve.

The politicians know exactly what they are doing. They are doing what the rubes demand of them. It's all about staying in power rather than doing what needs to be done for the good of the country.

While our politicians are assfucking our democracy, the rubes are kept entertained by their TVs that Biden ALMOST tripped!

Our country has gone batshit insane.
