Democrats and the Economy

[LeftofLeft]

Should the Democrats win the WH and keep the House, what are their plans for sustaining the economic metrics under Trump? What is their unemployment goal going to be? Are they going to let the Middle Class keep more of their paycheck as Trump has done or are they going to take that away as part of their plan to “stick it to the wealthy?” And what about Energy independence? Are energy prices going to “necessarily increase?” Finally, will the cut spending?

 

[Mac1958]

Hopefully they would back off some of the socialism being pushed on us right now, like massive government spending, massive deficit spending and massive NY Fed intervention.

No way to know, though. Depends on who won and what conditions were like.

Bloomberg says he'd raise taxes.
Bernie says he'd raise taxes.
Warren says she'd raise taxes.
So I guess they'd raise taxes.
That may not be a terrible idea with the $billion deficit.
The bad news is they'd spend more than the new taxes they'd raise.

Democrats make the argument that Republican tax cuts with high spending is irresponsible; even in a strong economy with an expanded tax base. How responsible will it be to increase taxes in a constricting economy be without cutting taxes?

All Of Them Do
But At Least Everything Will Be Free....

Should the Democrats win the WH and keep the House, what are their plans for sustaining the economic metrics under Trump?

I don't believe they have a plan yet, but I suspect they have other metrics that they think are more important. Read up on the Green New Deal.

What is their unemployment goal going to be?

They'll tell you they want lower UE, but their policies will result in the opposite.

Are they going to let the Middle Class keep more of their paycheck as Trump has done or are they going to take that away as part of their plan to “stick it to the wealthy?”

If they repeal the Trump tax cuts, the middle class will see a smaller paycheck and a larger tax burden.

And what about Energy independence? Are energy prices going to “necessarily increase?”

They care more about green energy than energy independence. I'd bet money energy price will go up if they gain control of the WH and congress.

Finally, will they cut spending?

On a cold day in Hell.

Raising taxes on the wealthy always result in more taxes for the Middle Class.

When has a Democrat ever supported backing off of socialism?

Not lately. So it's a real race between them and Trump to push it on us.

Free healthcare for everyone! Even illegals.
Free college for everyone.
Raise taxes
Legalize infanticide
Basically bankrupt us and kill the economy.

If you want to fix the economy, raise wages for American Workers..

The first thing they'll do is attack our energy supply. Warren herself said that if elected, she will sign an executive order to ban all fracking within the United States on her first day. If she could get away with that, the cost of fuel will dramatically slow down the economy. It will be an extra cost for businesses. They will stop giving raises and some may cancel benefits like healthcare. It will increase our natural gas and gasoline prices stopping residual income from circulation. It would be a disaster.

Next they will work on open borders. They may even eliminate ICE. We will be flooded with so many third worlders that it would add billions to our deficit and debt.

They and their medial allies will simply say 'It's the new normal!!!'
