UN: US inequality reaching a dangerous level due to Trump's 'cruel' measures

[Oldstyle]

Overseeing the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression is doing a "very good job"?

Gee, grade on the curve much?

Given what an absolute disaster Bush left him, he did an awesome job.

In what way did he do an "awesome" job? By passing the ACA? That was one of the most poorly written pieces of legislation ever signed into law...something that he had to lie to the American people about to get it passed and had to bribe Congressional members to vote for because they KNEW it was designed to fail! By overseeing the Obama Stimulus? The stimulus that created so few jobs that they had to hide how bad it was behind "Jobs Created or Saved"? Was it his "stellar" Foreign policy? He signed an agreement that had us cleaning up our fossil fuel use now while the world's big polluters were given decades to continue to pollute. He misjudged ISIS so badly that he allowed a rag tag group of terrorists to take over vast areas of the Middle East and started a tidal wave of immigration to Europe as people had to run for their lives! By using the IRS and the Justice Department to target his political opponents? That's "awesome" I guess if you're a fan of Richard Nixon!

What's amazing, Franco is that you can't seem to see that right now OUR economy is the best in the world and it's because of the economic savvy of Donald Trump! Barack Obama had no experience with economic planning. He was totally out of his element the entire time he was in office. After Larry Summers and Christina Romer abandoned ship and ran back to their tenured jobs in academia...Barry didn't even TRY and stimulate the economy!

Of course he did... he was blocked in every possible way by the GOP who were ridiculous. He wanted another stimulus and tax cuts on the non-rich and more taxes on the rich to pay for all kinds of reform like cheap training for technical jobs... People who watch Fox are told nothing.

He was "blocked" by Republicans SENT TO WASHINGTON TO STOP HIS AGENDA AFTER THEY SAW WHAT HE WAS DOING WITH THE POWER HE'D BEEN GIVEN IN 2008!

He wanted another stimulus that would have basically been the same as his first stimulus...the one that failed to create jobs so badly that they had to start using "Jobs created or saved" to hide how bad it was!

Super duper, he had about 45 days in session with 60 votes so he only passed two things, the stimulus with those nice GOP ladies from Maine and ACA. The GOP blocked everything else, but you silly dupes believe Obama had total control for 2 years. Absolute idiocy, dupe.

So when he had control and the nation was begging for policies to address the economy and create jobs...Barry ignored the economy and worked to pass the Affordable Care Act...legislation that the voters disliked so much that they voted out those in the Congress who supported it? Why would anyone do that, Franco?

Oh wait...I remember now...his administration was run by people like this...

"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." Rahm Emanuel

The same people that were working on Cap & Trade legislation that would have put MORE people out of work at a time when the Private Sector was SUFFERING! At a time when the country desperately needed jobs...you progressives were taking advantage of the power you'd been granted not to create jobs but to pass parts of a liberal agenda that COST jobs!

Unemployment kept going down after Obama took office and the Stock market slowing climbed. Trump is going to triple the debt and cutting all funding, where is the money going, to him and his dept heads like Pruitt.

Where is that good health ins Trump promised the US, gone. Trump is destructive. As he bankrupted time and time again, he is going to bankrupt the US. Instead of the elites paying taxes, which they mainly don't and get away with it, he is going to live off the working class.

Sorry to break this to you, Penny but nobody is buying the progressive claim that Trump is bad for the working class! They've got more money in their pockets because of the tax cuts Trump passed and they feel secure about their jobs for a change.

The Stock Market did well under Obama because of two things...repeated Quantitative Easing and the Fed keeping interest rates at near zero for the longest period of time in American history! The Stock Market is doing even better under Trump with NO QE and with the Fed raising interest rates three times since Trump was elected!

Wait, just wait. Trump is living off Obama's good numbers, but then the UR was fictional according to Trump under Obama. Trump can't stand that a black sinned man is 100 X's smarter than he is, not Mob smart or street smart, but intelligent smart.

You honestly think that Barack Obama is smarter than Donald Trump when it comes to economics? In what way did Barry EVER prove that to be the case, Penny! The economy under Trump is doing as well as it is because Trump understands why business people invest capital to start or grow businesses. Barack Obama never had a clue about that. He kept proposing things like Cap & Trade legislation that would have raised the energy costs of American industry and then would scratch his head and bemoan the fact that investment capital was sitting on the sidelines and not being used to create jobs. That's not "intelligent smart"...that's naive smart!

The UN doesn't like what Israel is doing, but the US is ok with them.

No wonder so many Americans hate the UN.

Umm. What?

They don't.

Yeah we do.

Favorable views of the UN prevail in Europe, Asia and U.S.

https://www.usnews.com/news/politic...nnounces-285m-cut-in-un-2018-operating-budget

I often wonder where all the cuts to every program is going? Is Trump using the Potus office as an ATM.

If Trump were using the office of the president as a personal ATM, we would have known about it last year.

Don't make such hyperbolic statements with out some sort of evidence or research. It is really sort of outrageous. It's not like he is stealing from the White House or something. . . .

His corruption is nothing compared to what might have been. . .

"In M. Night Shyamalan’s movie The Sixth Sense (1999), millions felt chills when the psychologist played by Bruce Willis was revealed to be a ghost administering to a child who told viewers all along, “I see dead people.” Many Americans experienced a similar revelation, the Greeks call it anagnorisis, as the star reveals his true self. Bill Clinton, an extraordinarily talented politician clearly was more morally tone deaf and personally hollow than many admitted; while his wife was often co-conspirator, not just victim or enabler."

Gee, those assorted dictators, organized crime syndicate leaders, sadistic rapists and torturers, mass murderers, and thugs at the UN have some opinion or other?

That's hilarious. And somebody here thinks they matter, and actually posted it??? Has to be a Democrat or some other Pedo-Friendly like that.

UN: US inequality reaching a dangerous level due to Trump's 'cruel' measures
Source: The Guardian

Donald Trump is deliberately forcing millions of Americans into financial ruin, cruelly depriving them of food and other basic protections while lavishing vast riches on the super-wealthy, the United Nations monitor on poverty has warned.

Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur who acts as a watchdog on extreme poverty around the world, has issued a withering critique of the state of America today. Trump is steering the country towards a “dramatic change of direction” that is rewarding the rich and punishing the poor by blocking access even to the most meager necessities.

“This is a systematic attack on America’s welfare program that is undermining the social safety net for those who can’t cope on their own. Once you start removing any sense of government commitment, you quickly move into cruelty,” Alston told the Guardian.

Millions of Americans already struggling to make ends meet faced “ruination”, he warned. “If food stamps and access to Medicaid are removed, and housing subsidies cut, then the effect on people living on the margins will be drastic.”

Anyone that isn't rich should think twice before they ever vote republican again! I am dead serious.

Riiight.... Record low unemployment for blacks and Hispanics and someone writes this garbage. It appears the author and anyone who passes this crap off hates minorities

It's not like President Trump is sneaking the silver flatware and furniture and works of art from the Whitehouse.
That behaviour was the Clinton's stock in trade. The Clinton griffters couldn't keep their grubby hands off the White house valuables.
They actually had to hire a large UHaul to return what they tried to steal.

Meh, I hold no opinion either way, I was just posting the facts.

Personally, I'm not sure there is large enough support to justify the expenditure the US gives to the UN compared to other nations. Maybe, maybe not.

That UN building is prime real estate. Evict them to Syria

I agree. Kick the UN out and that building could be made into apartments, shops and stores. Loads of revenue for NYC.

The idea of getting rich on welfare ...
Ranks right up there with stealing money from poor people who don't have any.

At least the reporter is consistent ... ​

.​

They seem to think that they are entitled to things other people worked for just because they exist! I don't mind welfare for a person who might really need the help but there are many opportunities out there for these people and if they don't take advantage of them and just remain at their station in life, then they have nobody else to blame, and especially not people who took the initiative and made better lives for themselves and their families.

 

[Deno]

Haven’t you ever heard of the death tax?

When he's dead, he still produces no goods or services. He's little more than a lazy king.

Has a poor man ever produced any jobs?

Yes, whenever he buys something, he produces the need for a good or service. A need by someone who works, so that the economy works. When a rich paralyzed retard buys something, it's a one way street. Nobody is ever going to get any goods or services back from him.

You socialist are very confused.

Why hate on the successful?

I hate on the useless. Especially the rich useless.

I bet it sucks to be you...

It's easy to be me. I post a well-thought-out argument and retards like you can do nothing but post ad hominem.

Rave on you idiot...

More zero-content posting from the clueless retard above.

That's funny coming from a clueless retard...

Later pot.....

If you think that the poor people are the job creators in this nation, then you are the clueless retard. What in the hell? If a person was truly poor, then they could barely afford to contribute to the economy in any meaningful way! BUSINESSES create jobs. Sure, businesses need consumers to have a business, but that is a ******* stupid argument to say that the poor create jobs. Get the hell out of town!

OK, so you think an economy can work with a million rich people like this?

Better than with a million poor people that can actually work?

You are dumber than a sack of hammers....
