Four (or Eight) More Years?

'The US job market has also been slow to recover in recent months, with just 142,000 jobs added in August – a figure that fell short of projected targets by approximately 20,000 positions. In July, the number of new positions created dropped even lower, reaching a mere 89,000 – the lowest seen in the US since the onset of the pandemic.

August’s labor market update was further impacted by revelations that there had been 818,000 fewer jobs created between March 2023 and 2024 than previously reported, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by policymakers in accurately assessing economic conditions.'

Powell Blames Migrant Crisis for Unemployment Surge: Fed Cuts Interest Rates Amid Slowing Job Growth - The Boston Times

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has attributed the nation’s growing unemployment rate to the ongoing migrant crisis, following the announcement…

So here we go again, you are accusing people of lying. You do understand the actual definition of a 'lie', right?

So are you saying that Jerome Powell didn't make this claim?

You only potentially eliminate one of those things with a Trump Presidency.

Which of his policies did you want to eliminate?

 

[my2¢]

I suspect it'll lean liberal no matter which way November's elect goes given that Trump isn't an effective leader. Throughout his private life it has been his way or the highway which meant he never had need to build a consensus. His preference for a dictatorial style was displayed as he expressed more admiration for leaders which held powerful control over their countries. People such as Putin, Kim Jong Un, along with the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the Philippines.

And just as in other threads, your accusations of 'lying', are hollow.

It's unfortunate, because this election would have been so easy to win had Republicans went with someone else. The only way Kumalla can win is to PUBLICLY be viewed as much more moderate, and for Donald Trump to be her opponent.
If she ran on her past positions, she would lose, EVEN if the opponent was Trump.
Still, as it is, she could still lose despite the fact she is running against someone with the kind of baggage that Trump has.
Just shows how bad she would lose if it were someone else she was running against, and she hadn't flip-flopped on so many issues.

The only smoke and mirrors I see is Trump’s “concept of a plan”!

#VOTEHARRIS

The plan is a repeat of his solid pre covid economy. Drill baby drill. Only the Left's Climate Change cult will hate our success.

Kamala just has an alcoholic's haze.

Still waiting for “repeal and replace”. That’s what he was talking about…, 8 years ago! What’s he been doing?

Which of his policies did you want to eliminate?

Trump ran up huge debt just like Biden and every other President post Wilson. Whether or not the lack of new wars was happenstance or a product of Trump's presence in the WH/foreign policy is debatable. There's no indication or reason to believe that the debt will come down or even slow its rate of increase under either of these 2 candidates so at best you get one of those 2 things going away. That said Trump has made no indication that he will force Israel to stop it's war in Gaza and he's only said he would stop the war in Ukraine not how.

 

[Couchpotato]

Trump’s blanket tariffs and ignorance of supply chains caused the “Biden” inflation.

#VOTEHARRIS

The tariffs Biden hasnt repealed but increased? Those tariffs?

Let's see how well the voters clean out the Dems and Rinos from Congress in November.
A Trump landslide would devastate the Deep State.

Trump's "huge debt" was from Covid. What about Biden's Inflation Reduction Act? Do you blame that on Trump, too? There was peace in Ukraine and the Middle East when Trump was President. Do you think that was just a coincidence?

 

[Orangecat]

Which of these two policy options do you prefer, and why?

I prefer the Trump policies. Less inflation, less war, more prosperity, more patriotism.

What exactly are you disagreeing with?

 

[d0gbreath]

I prefer the Trump policies. Less inflation, less war, more prosperity, more patriotism.

The first three are wonderful!
Either candidate could win. It really wouldn't matter much to me, I'd turn off the TV when either one was speaking as POTUS.

My prediction is that Harris is going to win.
I've been wrong before.

I remember patriotism; Me waving a small flag at the Biloxi, MS 4th of July parade when I was five. Ike was the best prez ever! Seeing American flags desecrated with horrible imagery is different.

Do you think the Biden Admin has a higher inflation policy?

What exactly are you disagreeing with?

Statements (1) through (4) below:

(1)Trump ran up huge debt just like Biden and every other President post Wilson. (2) Whether or not the lack of new wars was happenstance or a product of Trump's presence in the WH/foreign policy is debatable. (3)There's no indication or reason to believe that the debt will come down or even slow its rate of increase under either of these 2 candidates so at best you get one of those 2 things going away. (4)That said Trump has made no indication that he will force Israel to stop it's war in Gaza and he's only said he would stop the war in Ukraine not how.*

To suggest that there would be little or no difference between a Trump presidency and a Harris presidency is ridiculous:

(1)Trump's "huge debt" was from Covid. (3))What about Biden's Inflation Reduction Act? Do you blame that on Trump, too? (4)There was peace in Ukraine and the Middle East when Trump was President. (2)Do you think that was just a coincidence?

*The "Art of the Deal" refers to negotiation. (You don't show all your cards at the beginning.) Trump is a master at this.

 

[Orangecat]

Do you think the Biden Admin has a higher inflation policy?

Neither administration has an inflation policy. It’s the anti fossil fuel positions that drive up gas prices, which drive up the prices of nearly everything else. One side has promised to end fossil fuels, the other says “drill, baby, drill”. One side presided over approximately 2% inflation, the other has been a wild ride of massive price increases.
TRUMP 2024 for me.
