Clearly it isn't for whiny, sniveling socialist crybabies, Comrade P - not enough "free stuff" apparently - but the rest of us are definitely doing better.
Persistent deficit spending - unsustainable as it is - is not socialism, Comrade G, and who exactly worships the man that has added 3.5 trillion to our national debt?
Progress is not always forward and it's not necessarily measured by material success. It's ironic that a socialist would believe it is.
Because socialism does not destroy the wealth created by capitalism of the foolish nations and people that embrace it? You kid yourself, Comrade G, and no, I do not worship any man.
Wow, amazing how different figures can be from a left leaning source such as axios vs hudson institute, right leaning but known for factual reportingSeems to me, if the FED didn't continually debase the value of the currency?
This whole argument between the left and the right would be moot.
The government and financial institutions gain by such a policy, while the poor and middle class demand something be done when they can't afford as much, year after year, just so the government can spend more on either defense, or entitlements, or what have you. . . .
. .. and the FED pumps more into the economy, and the dollar loses more purchasing power, year after year, and the cry for socialism goes out among the middle classes and the poor.
While you all stupidly sit there and think it has to do with what idiots they put in congress or in the oval orifice.
It gets worse every year.
derp derp derp.
How Trump’s economy stacks up - Axios
Or so you need to believe but then people like you are idiots, Comrade G, so I'll take your insult with a big bag of road salt.
The good news is that the top 10% hold 70% of the wealth in America, and I'm sure they'll be trickling on you any time now.
The question to me is always this: Are they bullshitting, or have they just been completely conned, and operating on willful ignorance?The good news is that the top 10% hold 70% of the wealth in America, and I'm sure they'll be trickling on you any time now.
The hypocrisy levels are at an 11. The mental gymnastics are palpable. Might want to wear some boots. The bullshit in here is rising.
There are many forces that impact our economy which are beyond the control of even the POTUS. All any prez can do is set the table and ring the dinner bell.Wow, amazing how different figures can be from a left leaning source such as axios vs hudson institute, right leaning but known for factual reportingSeems to me, if the FED didn't continually debase the value of the currency?
