Trump’s New Spy Chief Worked For A Foreign Politician The U.S. Accused of Corruption

black unemployment has been in a steady decline for at least 10 years.

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

Yep and is at historic lows right now. Want me to post a chart on food stamps? It would be eye opening.

View attachment 308117

historic lows is good - but donny isn't the sole reason. he's just continuing the decline that clearly shows when it started & by whom. unemployment as a whole was 10% in 2008 & dropped to 5% in 2016 despite having a (R) congress for 6 of those 8 years. donny's rate is +/- 3.5%.... you do the math.

& shame on obama for not wanting people to go hungry.... no worries - your president will be cutting medicaid, medicare & social security, SNAP & CHIP soon enough.

He needs to cut entitlements.

he flat out lied when he said they wouldn't be touched. medicare & social security aren't 'entitlements' & neither is medicaid for the most part. they are all paid into. what should be cut are the welfare queen corps' subsidies.

good to know you are against feeding the most vulnerable & children's healthcare.

trump loves you long time.

Entitlements need to be cut. Period. End of story. Save me your sob stories of vulnerability and such.

Obama’s Last Three Years Of Job Growth All Beat Trump’s Best Year

Far from being the “Best economy ever”

Trump continually says that, “the U.S. is experiencing the best economy ever.” This is obvious gaslighting since the new results show that President Trump’s best year of job growth was 2.314 million in 2018 (the first year of the tax cut) but it falls short of any of Obama’s last three years.
[...]

• 2014: 3.006 million fell to 3.004 million, down 2,000 jobs
• 2015: 2.729 million fell to 2.72 million, down 9,000 jobs
• 2016: 2.318 million increased to 2.345 million, up 27,000 jobs

• 2017: 2.153 million fell to 2.109 million, down 44,000 jobs
• 2018: 2.679 million fell to 2.314 million, down 365,000 jobs (Trump’s best year)
• 2019: 2.115 million fell to 2.096 million, down 19,000 jobs

While not exceeding Obama’s last three years, Trump’s 2.314 million in 2018 barely beat Obama’s 2.301 in 2014.

Obama’s Last Three Years Of Job Growth All Beat Trump’s Best Year

There is always natural growth post recession and Obama benefited from TARP (Bush implement) and PRIME rate of 3.25% and LIBOR rate of .20%. Current prime is 4.75% and LIBOR is 1.6%!!!! So borrowings are significantly more expensive and so is our interest payments on our $23trn of debt. Slowest recovery in history under BHO and record number of people on food stamps. Trumps Jon growth is much more difficult given the higher interest rate environment and under Trump the market has risen 10k points and that is despite all the odd impeachment crap. Even David Rubenstein, a Democrat supported stated that the economy is doing very well under Trump. 90% of people responded they are better off now than in 2015.


My point with the NBA was that sometimes stats are misleading.

they are obligated to treat anybody that walks thru their doors. without insurance, they will get the bare minimum - a bandaid & an aspirin vs real medical care. anybody that needs a bed gets one - but the cost of that bed is never absorbed by the hospital. you & i pay for it thru higher premiums.

Not quite. Vets have medical coverage through the VA and kids have medicaid. My question is why do people have kids when they cannot afford them? That is the first major problem. If you cannot afford kids, don't have them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrusaderFrank]

Richard Grenell did not disclose payments for advocacy work on behalf of a Moldovan politician whom the U.S. later accused of corruption.

President Donald Trump’s new acting intelligence director, Richard Grenell, used to do consulting work on behalf of an Eastern European oligarch who is now a fugitive and was recently barred from entering the U.S. under anti-corruption sanctions imposed last month by the State Department.

In 2016, Grenell wrote several articles defending the oligarch, a Moldovan politician named Vladimir Plahotniuc, but did not disclose that he was being paid, according to records and interviews. Grenell also did not register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which generally requires people to disclose work in the U.S. on behalf of foreign politicians.

FARA is the same law that Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort and former deputy campaign manager Rick Gates were convicted of violating. (Manafort went to trial. Gates pleaded guilty.)

So it was climbing before BHO took office so should we thank idiot Bush? By now we should be in a recession and we are still climbing. That is due to high consumer confidence and record low unemployment, which resulted in wage growth for the first time in 30 years.

Children’s Public Health Insurance Coverage Lower Than in 2017

About 4.3 million children did not have any health insurance coverage in 2018, an increase of 425,000 (or 0.6 percentage points) from the previous year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s annual Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2018 report released today.
Uninsured Rate for Children Up to 5.5 Percent in 2018

' My question is why do people have kids when they cannot afford them? That is the first major problem. If you cannot afford kids, don't have them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

i agree entirely. however.......... not having birth control mandated, or even 'free' in some cases ... trying to overturn roe v wade sure isn't the solution to that, now is it? real fiscal conservative knows that is far better to pay a little up front to save tons of cash at the back end. but trying to CONvince the 'GOP' now is pretty fruitless.

That is on the parents. No kids would be turned down for medicaid. That is why the program is there. My wife and I have strong private health insurance but if we had a child that needed significant medical attention, we would automatically be shifted to Medicaid. Crazy, I know. So parents just need to be aware and we have way too many kids having kids, who have no f*cking idea what to do and how to take care of them. Hell, I would pay kids 15 - 22 a stipend not to have kids before marriage. The Yang $1k per month. It would actually save us monies in the long run, I bet.

Obama’s Last Three Years Of Job Growth All Beat Trump’s Best Year

Most of the jobs Obama used to pad his statistics were government jobs. He expanded the IRS from 10,000 jobs to over 100,000. He filled DoD jobs with blacks, Hispanics, and foreigners....very few qualified whites.

A government job is a negative towards the deficit. Private sector jobs are a positive towards federal revenue and balancing the budget.
