Media blackout: Trump’s 60-point accomplishment list of ‘American Greatness’

WHY?

Well maybe for one thing Trump would NEVER EVER say or do things like Obama did or say as this list points out!

Trump knows the engine of democracy is business and when you do things to stifle versus doing things to encourage...hmmm just seems to work out that you get a better economy.

Liberals are dumb as a fence post, they are oblivious to the negative effects their jobs killing anti business taxes and regulations will have on the economy. Tax increases are the worst, they just assume everyone can pay more, they don't give a second thought. Liberals have literally weaponized stupid.

But assuming your ignorance is because you are lazy as exemplified by your quick response based on dog whistle commands from your trainers...


Trustees Reports

A SUMMARY OF THE 2018 ANNUAL REPORTS
Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees

Page 1..
Social Security and Medicare together accounted for 42 percent of Federal program expenditures in fiscal year 2017.

Both Social Security and Medicare will experience cost growth substantially in excess of GDP growth through the mid-2030s
due to rapid population aging caused by the large baby-boom generation entering retirement and
lower-birth-rate generations entering employment
The Trustees project that the combined trust funds will be depleted in 2034, the same year projected in last year’s report.

The Trustees project that the HI Trust Fund (Part A hospital) will be depleted in 2026, three years earlier than projected in last year’s report
At that time dedicated revenues will be sufficient to pay 91 percent of HI costs.
Now I'm shouting: Do you idiots know that without doing anything... that in 2026...8 years from now
if you are under Medicare and again nothing happens...and you go to the hospital... Medicare will pay not only right now just 80% (because you idiots don't seem to know that the individual right now pays the other 20%!!)

but in 2026 that 80% will be 72% paid by Medicare AND YOU will pay 28% !
So without doing anything... YOU when under Medicare after age 65 will be paying 8% more... Or
something will happen!

GOP doesn't have to do ANYTHING and your wish will become true!
 
Here's a list of "promises kept"
JOBS
Signed the first major tax reform in 30 years.
Federal revenues are increasing as the economy grows. April 2018 had a record surplus of $214 billion.

Federal revenues are decreased every month since April thanks to the tax cuts. That is one of the reasons we had 1.27 trillion added to the national debt in the previous FY

You have NO link to prove your speculation.
I have the link from the CBO
  • Receipts totaled $3,328 billion in fiscal year 2018, CBO estimates—$13 billion more than in fiscal year 2017.
  • Amounts withheld from workers’ paychecks rose by $23 billion (or 1 percent).
  • Non with held payments of income and payroll taxes rose by $89 billion (or 15 percent).
  • Revenues from other sources rose by $1 billion (or less than 1 percent). Declines in revenues from fees and fines and in remittances from the Federal Reserve were partly offset by greater receipts from excise taxes and customs duties.
  • In September, the government receives substantial revenues from payments of estimated individual and corporate income taxes. As a result, CBO estimates, the federal government realized a surplus of $116 billion in September 2018—$108 billion more than the surplus in September 2017.

I do not speculate, I post the facts.

First, the Monthly Treasury Statement

https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/fsreports/rpt/mthTreasStmt/mts0918.pdf
(all numbers in Millions)

May 2017: $240418
May 2018: $217075

May 2018 less than May of 2017

June 2017: $338660
June 2018: $316278

June 2018 less than June 2017

July 2017: $232040
July 2018: $225266

July 2018 less than July 2017

Aug 2017: $226311
Aug 2018: $219115

Aug 2018 less than Aug 2017

Sept 2017: $348722
Sept 2018: $343559

Sept 2018 less than Sept 2017.

As I stated, every month since April less than in 2017. Also Feb was less than 2017, so since the tax cut passed only 2 out of 8 months brought in more than the previous year.

National Debt:

This is the Treasury Department's own site for tracking National Debt. These are actual numbers and not projections like the CBO gives.

Debt to the Penny (Daily History Search Application)

FY18 ran from Oct 1 2017 to Sept 30 2018.

The total national debt on 1 Oct 2017 was:

$20,244,900,016,053

The total national debt on 30 Sept 2018 was:

$21,516,058,183,180

So, doing some actual mathematics...$21,516,058,183,180 - $20,244,900,016,053 = $1,271,158,167,127...to which I rounded to 1.27 trillion.

Thus $1,271,158,167,127 was added to the national debt in FY18.

I do like how you pretend that I have not given you these numbers like 10 times now. But I do not mind doing it again, I like to help out the less fortunate and your lack of intelligence makes you way less fortunate.
 
I really can't stomach political cheerleaders

There's a grand divide between what Trump claims he did for the middle class, and what he actually accomplished for the middle class.

Liberals are dumb as a fence post? Liberals aren't voting for Republicans that want to reduce social security and medicare.

No liberals reduced social security and medicare by stealing our money and wasting it on other crap. Now there's not enough money left to pay the benefits, thanks libs you thieving scumbags.
 
In addition to a positive attitude about the economy and America, Obama's ACA did everything possible to discourage businesses from growing!!

View attachment 226664

By asking businesses to ensure their employees?
No by PENALIZING employees and switching them to part time!
Dummies like you have NO idea what a business costs are.
In the illustration I gave it cost $384/mo per employee for health insurance premium.
Why would any business person with 49 full time employees hire that 50th employee if it was going to cost $14,200 per month more to hire that employee?
See that's why Obama the community organizer NEVER comprehended how the economy works and surrounded himself with other idiots like him!
You tell me why idiots like you and Obama are against "profits"?
Probably because idiots like you and Obama still hide your cash under your pillow or bury in the backyard right and you think everyone else does too!
 
Trumps biggest accomplishment is relinquishing the US role as leader of the free world
