The Economy Going How Deep into the Tank by Election Day

[william the wie]

For nearly two centuries the Ds have run on the basis of being corrupt but effective however there is a lot more going on in regards to the economy and safety than meets the eye.

The economy (GDP) is being revised down.

Epipen even more than previous drug scandals is driving home the point that corruption has high costs. The CEO of Mylan is the daughter of a Senator. (Joe Manchin D WV)

ACA rate hikes in the double digits have been announced.

Layoffs and corporate reorganizations that just happen to reduce employer ACA liability have been and will be announced.

IL is expected to start having municipal bankruptcies soon and probably a state bankruptcy prior to election day. That will cause at least some tax and safety flight from other blue states as well but not soon enough nor in large enough numbers to directly sink Hillary by themselves.

The idea that some Oct. surprise will switch a large enough number of votes from Hillary to Trump to elect Trump is nonsense. That Ds will be informed by their wallets that they shouldn't vote for more of the same is highly likely.

The MSM is effective enough to keep that switch from happening. However money talks loud enough to give Stein and Johnson a lift towards or even above the 15% threshold to cause the Ds bigger problems in 2020. Trump support will stay the same but count for more as many Ds will be job hunting come election day.

OMG, the economy is so much better under democrats, and yet the partisans see only the hole.

No "economic downturn" will happen to affect the elections.

The Pubs and Dems are every bit as corrupt as one another: one is not gold and the other dross.

One has Trump.

As my friends say on the far right, 'heaven help us and pass the ammunition.'

In 2000 the (D) Palm Beach County supervisor of elections ensured Bush's win with an illegal butterfly ballot that confused whether Nader or Buchanan was being selected. The Rs realized they were in trouble and voted Bush. The Ds didn't and gave Buchanan a ridiculous high number of votes. D competence is an oxymoron which is why the Ds tried twice to find someone less corrupt than Scott and failed twice. That is world record incompetence. I didn't think it was even possible but the Ds managed to do it.

Extremely doubtful.

For nearly eight years now, constant predictions of economic catastrophe. And for nearly eight years we have seen a steady, if painful, progress towards a new prosperity. Yes, the people that did not plan for the new automation, and aquire skills, are in trouble. At the same time, there are 5.8 million jobs going begging. in the technical fields. And those are high paying jobs.

Now the rightwing is once more wishing for economic catastrophe.

 

[Manonthestreet]

If by prosperity you mean record foodstamp usage and kids moving back in or never moving out of their parents home.....goodnite john boy

 

[Old Rocks]

With no skills, there are no living wage jobs for you. Simple fact. Jobs that don't require brainwork are done by machines. I know, I repair and build those machines. And have made damned good money for the last 12 years.

 

[william the wie]

Actually slow rot is the usual term for the past 8 years:

Real GDP growing slower than population at least on average since Obama took office. Since the ACA is a mandated expenditure it should be but is not subtracted from disposable income. When that is done disposable income has been contracting since it came into effect. So this is the worst recovery on record. (the great depression is not on record officially but all of the above showed a more robust recovery 1933-40 than 2009-present.)

If you mean 10 million jobs and 4.9%, sure; if you don't then one does not understand the economy. You are upset that kids are being fed? And millennials could move out but many just don't want to do.

Ha ha! The economy is doing so well the feds are thinking about raising interest rates.

You know how we know you are stupid? In 2007 you said things were fine and we were falling into the great recession. So it's funny today you say were falling into recession when we are not.

Retard

 

[JakeStarkey]

the Wie is bright but not as bright as he thingks, because he often talks out of ideology rather than facts.

10 million jobs, 4.9% unemployment, and the feds may raise the interest rates - yep, the economy is tanking.

WheelAddict, your Uncle's advice sounds great on the surface but the country is run by political parties. Voting Democrat because you think that candidate would do the best job, just insures the Dem Party stays in power and continues their destructive policies. It's no different than trying to elect an Independent. Without independents controlling Congress he will get nothing accomplished. No disrespect top your Uncle. He means well but it doesn't work that way in the real world.
