Democrats are on the precipice of delivering a huge blow to Donald Trump

[MarcATL]

You think that electing a socialist HELPS democrats? Nah dude, that isnt how it works. Youre just turning off the moderates nationally in your party even more than you already have the past few years. This guy is going to cost you elections nationally.

Was Trump a moderate?

Think so?
Ultra rich are spending, 50 million dollar weddings. big lavish party's
Will this keep the rest of us a float?
And about next year & what will be happening, All guess work.
As Dillion sang, The answer my friend is blowing in the wind.

Do you think they're buying fewer goods?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

If inflation is 3% and year to date GDP growth is 1.5% then the math is easy. Yes, people are buying fewer goods.

So, you're guessing, you can't show me that they're buying fewer goods.
And you're using bad math.

Youre right. I didnt count every item sold in the US so I had to derive it. You asked the question so you can tell me.

Right, you used your very weak math to make bad guesses.

So why does (supposed) 1.5% GDP growth and 3% inflation mean that consumers are buying fewer goods?

You tell me how you can figure out how many things are sold in the US with everything combined. They only aggregate dollars, not things.

YTP GDP is 2.10 percent that’s due to first qtr coming out of the xiden admin -,5 gdp second qtr was 3.8

Total gdp for 2024 was only 2.8, so it appears we are back on the right track with that 3.8 number

Tonight is the night they install Sharia Law on the Big Apple

You dumb cons got fooled by right wing corporate media again. Just as libs get fooled by left wing corporate media.

You guys never learn.

Sharia law…LMFAO!!!

Ha! Yeah, those federal tax dollars from the blue to red states is out of the goodness of the red states' hearts.

You can't even tell me what those tax dollars are for. I have no idea. All I keep hearing is this yammering about red states take in more than they collect. So what ?

What is it for?

If those red states had collected enough taxes to cover their costs, then they wouldn't need federal help.

For what? Social Security? You have not told me that isn't in the equation. If it isn't then that's a big mystery solvled. If it is, the whole yarn is total piece of trash.

You ask me to break it down, yet our first post within this interaction between us your brought up minorities without 'breaking down' how they made your point, other than the unprovable they 'pull hard' on federal dollars.

I just googled it for fun and this was my first link:

Fact Check: How much taxes do blacks pay versus benefits received

The relationship between taxes paid and benefits received by Black Americans is complex and requires nuanced analysis. The Treasury Department data shows t...

[HikerGuy83]

Why? Who knows, other than for you to make some inane unprovable point.

Uh....I think it's pretty easily proven or disproven. I don't have anything right at my fingertips, but I will keep looking.

And you are correct....making that claim without immediate back up is as incomplete as your initial claim.

 

[HikerGuy83]

And you call my logical analysis meaningless?

I called the claim meaningless. There was no logic....no argument, valid or otherwise.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Go figure...is the way you debate? Ask for proof of assertions, then go and do exactly what you are accusing your opponent of doing?

I'll take a step back and do some looking. There is nothing wrong with me asking for a logical support structure to a claim. You are entitled to do the same.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

You tell me how you can figure out how many things are sold in the US with everything combined. They only aggregate dollars, not things.

Using your aggregate 3% and 1.5%, show me how you determined consumers are buying fewer goods.

I’d say left of center

Do you're a lefty supporter now?

Do you're a lefty supporter now?

Sure

Trump is a normal conservative. You wont be able to point to any of his policies that the GOP wouldnt have supported 30 years ago. The same cannot be said about the democrat party.

Pretty much absolute truth. Trump might vary a little on the then-GOP's willingness to go on military ventures all over the world. But overall a pretty moderate Republican that matches pretty well with the old GOP.

I can.
