Just because Trump beat Hillary that doesn't automatically mean that he is good or even popular. Given two shitty choices he squeaked out a victory. They were both the most unpopular candidates in political history and Trumps approval numbers have remained on the bottom. That is nothing to boast about.
Sure it is. First of all he beat out over a dozen candidates in the Republican primary. Next he went against a woman who was virtually partners with what liberals consider one of the greatest Presidents we had.
Hillary is a person who spent much of her life in politics. Trump was never so much as a councilman or sat on a school board; absolutely zero political experience.
Hillary had much of the backing from her party. Trump had a lot of Republicans who hated him and made that obvious in the media. She outspent him almost three to one. While the media praised Hillary up and down. they (as they do now) bashed Trump every chance they could.
Sure that's something to boast about. It's political history. No other outsider could have done the same.
I'm curious, how do you derigg the game through deregulation. I'm all for deregulation for small business, but when it comes to the big players, how do you proposed checking their power? You are right, our markets crashed when wall street took advantage of reckless play by the mortgage/loan industry, a result of decades of deregulation and poor policy... Obama came in post crisis and tried to regulate and spent to try and stimulate the economy and prevent further disasters. The wealthy took advantage of the spending and capitalized. Besides trying to blame Obama for the rich getting richer, which by conservative standards should trigger the trickle down, why don't you propose solutions for what can be done in the current climate to fix the problems. I'm not seeing how deregulating the banks and wall street will help things. Please explain
First off the housing crisis had a beginning, and that beginning was government creating more liberal regulations to lower their standards for the purpose of increasing minority home sales. The bad mortgages had to go somewhere, or we would have had a national banking collapse.
Secondly, locking up money is not the way to get an economy going. DumbBama went beyond regulation, he went into downright running the banks.
Jobs don't create themselves, and Presidents don't create jobs either. The private sector creates jobs. All government can do is make it more or less inviting for the private sector to do so. Obama was the most anti-business President in our lifetime. Businesses at the bottom only had one way to go, and that was up, but because of Obama, that was a struggle for them.
Trump is the exact opposite of Obama. He is pro-business, not anti-business. The consumer confidence alone is responsible for the good economy we are now experiencing.
