Republicans need to learn how to make a Budget Deal, but will they? (Poll)

Here in the US Biden's reckless spending caused inflation.

Bullshit. Home values are increasing. The 2019-2022 net worth proves nothing, Biden's term was 2021-2024.

Housing Market Predictions For 2025: When Will Home Prices Drop?

The much-anticipated spring home-buying season has largely been dying on the vine as cautious consumers continue to navigate record-high home prices, elevated mortgage rates and a murky economic landscape.
Even so, some green shoots have emerged, as various regions are seeing slower home price growth alongside rising inventory, which is subtly shifting the market in favor of buyers.


The markets all recovered, duh.

Yup. Markets recovered right back to where they were before Trump single handedly destroyed them. Elon is right about Trump you know. But what a scumbag he must be because he knew it and still endorsed Trump.

You can make all the excuses you want and cherry pick and hold Biden to a higher standard all you want. We were more energy independent on Biden's watch, unemployment was better, wage growth for blue collar really took off.

Listen schmuck. I'm not going to go on and on. How is hiring right now? Right now is NOT a good time to find a job. Now you can give credit to the great recession, but there was no better time to go get an inflation busting better job than during Biden.

US private sector hiring has slowed to its lowest pace in two years, according to Bloomberg and other sources. In May, private payrolls only increased by 37,000, which was below expectations and the lowest increase in two years. This slowdown in hiring suggests a weakened demand for workers, with some sectors, like business services and education, experiencing job losses.
They forgot automotive is having a tough year. Even before Trump's tariffs on steel.
They forgot tech companies. That's why Elon is pissed. Trump took away the tax breaks for green jobs and tech R&D. They can't write everything off anymore so big time layoffs in the tech industry.
And just like the Bush years Trump is giving us fake jobs numbers. Most of the jobs added under Bush were hospitality jobs. Same with Trump. Do you want fries with that? Do hospitality jobs pay a lot? And why is hospitality up when countries like Canada are boycotting traveling here? That's got to be hurting us.
International travel to the USA has been declining due to concerns about border security, immigration policies, and the perceived negativity of the current administration. Some foreigners are also avoiding the US due to concerns about rising prices and the economic climate.

No one visited Germany in 1943

Remember Trump said in May: "Our country was cold as ice a year ago, and now we have the hottest country in the world, this is the hottest country in the world, nobody even close."

Why was it cold as ice a year ago and what made us the hottest country in the world? Can you explain what Trump did to make us so hot?

I think Trump meant that since he is implementing "fair trade" that every country in the world wants to make a trade deal with the US so they don't get "Tariffed" out of the US market.

Cool story, but a much more elegant explanation is it was just blow hard bullshit as usual.

There is no standard for Biden. He was the most incompetent and incontinent president in US history.

Listen schmuck. I'm not going to go on and on. How is hiring right now? Right now is NOT a good time to find a job. Now you can give credit to the great recession, but there was no better time to go get an inflation busting better job than during Biden.

Biden's open borders let 12,000,000 illegals into the US, and you're wondering why its hard to find a job?

You can type all the nonsense you want. The final exam is the mid-term election next year. Trump and the GOP need to pass the BBB and get the Fed to lower interest rates, and get the tariffs straightened out, and get the $14T promised for new manufacturing plants started to see the Trump economy compared to the $8T of borrowed money that Biden used to throw taxpayer money around like candy. Nuclear power is coming back, new AI data centers are being built, energy costs are dropping, and the democrats are still TOXIC.....ENJOY!!

Well sure. Common sense. I'm in sales. I got a lot of calls when I started quoting $3750 for annual maintenance agreements when last year my former boss was only charging $3000. I had to explain to them why such a big increase. I told them that the price actually went up last year and my former boss, WHO IS NO LONGER WITH US, never raised the prices. By saying that I basically told them he got fired for not raising the prices.

Then I tell them "what hasn't gone up in the last 5 years?" We've kept this price the same for over 5 years. So don't be mad at us when we are basically the last company you work with to have held out on raising prices.

Some of these companies aren't going to pay it.

Some of these companies are thinking about finding another software company.

Trump is dealing with all this. YOU are dealing with all this. You just don't know it yet. These other countries want the best deal they can get from us but they are also looking at other options. Because who wants to do business with a guy like Trump?

So don't tell me Trump is a good businessman. Yea sure. If you have a monopoly. If you can bully your customers and competitors. And stop acting like he won something. He already "won" that 2017 trade war with China remember? Remember what we won? What did we win?

We won.....Covid due to Fau-Chi.

Now we're winning germ warfare with China.

We need to get tougher on China but no politician has the balls to do that, not even Trump, so what does that tell you?
