Congress grills Pete Hegseth

you dont have know about me to answer that question which you dont seem to want to answer...i wonder why?....
How could i possibly know the answer to your question?

I can’t speak to your individual experience, but I can speak to what the data says in aggregate.

If we have two people, and one’s prices doubled and one’s prices stayed the same, the aggregate inflation is 50%. That doesn’t mean one’s prices didn’t double. It means that didn’t happen for everyone.

Now, can you answer my question?
 
I don’t know anything about you.

When Trump takes over, all the Republicans immediately start saying that the economy is great and all the Democrats immediately start saying the economy is terrible. Is that because their economic conditions rapidly changed?

(Excuse the hyperbole but you get what I’m saying)
Progs denied there was inflation and any issues with illegals was sanitized.

MagicianTrump.webp
 
Do you feel sorry for the fact that Hillary had to listen to Republicans shit on her husband?

If not, don’t feel sorry for his wife having to listen to Dems shit on Pete.
Should Hillary divorce her shitty husband? He has done far worse than Hegseth.

Trump has no tools to instantly make this screwed up economy right. First it will improve once he clears the country of illegals. Second he says he will get fuel prices reduced. If he cuts by half, he will recharge the economy. Don't worry about Biden. China funds him.
 
As you know, Lieutenants run platoons, maybe 30 troops.

Every general in the Pentagon started out as a Lieutenant
And, "Every general in the Pentagon" progressed through the ranks, gaining experience over ever increasing sizes of diverse commands, levels of command, military schools to train them on operations at those levels, etc. Hegseth kept mentioning the military, specifically placement and advancement based on merit and meritocracy. To me he hasn't had his ticket punched for requisite experience based on merit. He is kind of like a "Woke" gaining placement, due to being a member of a subgroup in favor at the moment, rather than best man for the job. He is being put forth, based on MAGA, not proven expertise, experience and competence at ever-increasing levels of command experience.

He’s got plenty of tools to make a fragile but improving economy WAY worse and all his campaign rhetoric indicates he intends to do just that.

Eliminating illegal immigrants would be a disaster given they contribute meaningfully to the economy.

He has no plan to cut fuel prices and actually tried to increase them last time he was in office because American producers were losing tons of money due to low prices.

Tariffs are inflationary.

Our greatest hope is that he does as little as possible.
 
In your Post #49 you said this:

"He lack experience beyond being a Major, without even Battalion Command experience. He is unqualified."

So if that disqualifies Hegseth, how is Panetta with no combat experience or leadership of any kind more qualified?
Already answered that. You should read the man's history, then you would see. Secretary of Defense really not very comparable to being a platoon leader on the ground for one OCONUS tour.

Fragile economy? You assholes spent four years telling us how great it is

So you fell in love with those who proved they refuse to follow law. Why don't you think legal migrants contribute? We want those. They proved they will not land in prison.

You assholes spent four years lying your asses off.

I never said the economy is great, but it sure as hell is way better than you weirdos say it is.

Doesn’t change the fact that illegal immigrants contribute to the economy and deporting them all will harm it.

Wrong on that. Trump never had a policy to increase fuel prices. American producers can cut prices merely by lowering their costs to deliver fuel. We saw how fast it happened under Biden that we hit over $5 per gallon for gas when I lived in CA.

The economy is a mix of incomes, costs, availability, plus other elements. Biden drove up costs, reduced availability and did not increase my income much. Matter of fact his final benefit to me was about $37.00 this January. Wait, that won't fill my fuel tank.

Yep. He sure did. That was the point of him going to OPEC and threatening them to get them to cut their production in 2019.

The cost of fuel is a minuscule contribution to the overall cost of products on your shelf. Even if their costs do go down, they have little incentive to reduce prices.

and yet before 2021 we did just fine, explain how we need the MILLIONS of illegals Biden let in.

Trump is just as responsible for inflation as Biden, given he signed trillions of spending that flowed directly into people’s pockets.
