    **** the libs

    Sure the lefty historians will attack trump

    But his impact will overshadow the lilliputins trying to tie him down

    Not to say everything he does is right

    Trump makes mistakes but even so he is a force of nature

    And you don't care about his utter incompetence or the fact that all of his closest people are being charged with crimes. Trump is a pig. You are nothing but slop in the trough. Drain the swamp.....what a Fing joke.

    Oh please. The GOP got outmaneuvered, plain & simple. They lost two formerly solid, very conservative, Republican districts here in Michigan, and anti Trump sentiment, even among registered Republicans, factored heavily in the Democrat wins. One of the two Democrat women who won was even endorsed by several Republicans.

    That's been proven to be wrong. Slash taxes for the wealthy, and time and time again, they merely bank it.

    They don't invest it? No one ever got rich by keeping their money in a bank.

    Where did you find this 'proof'?

    Really? Then let's see some of this 'history' of yours claiming that the wealthy keep their money in banks.

    You can't do it, of course, because you now nothing of wealth or how it's created.

    I don’t claim that they keep it in banks, my disengeuous chum. Cutting taxes doesn’t create demand.

    I’ll post an overwhelming list of sources tomorrow.

    Yeah, when the economy runs into a ditch the average recovery is 18 months. But the average recovery doesn't involve a trillion dollar transfer of wealth out of the economy to your favored constituency. The economy recovered in spite of the recovery "efforts." Clinton rode Reagan's wave that followed Carter's stagflation. And his worst instincts were blocked by a Republican Congress. Then Clinton had his own bubble pop, the tech bubble. I don't blame Bill for that. The population is prone to irrational exuberance at times, which the Fed isn't inclined to rein in. It looks good until it pops. You just hope it pops after you have left office.

    As for the ditch the economy ran into an the end of Bush II, I highly recommend The Big Short by Michael Lewis (Moneyball, Blindside, The Big Short, and many others). A number of things led to that crash. Fannie & Freddie were essential. Banks were threatened if they did not grant NINJA loans. You remember, No Income, No Job, and you got a home loan. The banks sold the loans immediately to investors who bundled the loans and sold shares of the bundles to other investors, and there was another layer of bundling and reselling. So here is a fund making tons of money you can buy into and you have no idea that at the bottom there are people who can't pay the mortgage but hope to last a year and sell at a profit. And middle class and rich people were buying houses just as investments. But Fannie and Freddie were used to enable people unable to cope with a mortgage to get one. Bush tried to rein this in, but was defeated in Congress by 100% of Dems and a few Republican defectors. Something that really exacerbated the crash was that some smart investors saw what was happening. There was a vehicle where they could give these investors some money every month that were essentially a long odds bet that the investment banks would lose. At least they were considered long odds. The investment banks were thrilled to have what looked like free money flowing in every month. What was the risk? Not everyone will default on their mortgage at the same time, right? Wrong. But that was the assumption. That defaults are not correlated. But when a few people default, it deflated the housing bubble and everyone looked around and found they might still owe $200k on a house appraised at $300k but the house next door just sold for $100k after being on the market for six months of foreclosure. People had bought houses to rent, or a vacation home, or even a primary residence and suddenly found themselves underwater and so they walked away as well. It was not all the fault of either party. Both support people buying houses when they are in power.

    So the few who bet on the crash literally gutted the investment banks, because they had to payoff the bets the speculators had made. So we taxpayers had to bail out the banks or they would be gone. The bets were considered akin to betting $1M year after year that the Browns will win the Superbowl and oops, they actually win and the casino has to pay off 10,000/1. Except a few people saw that they were going to win and there was no chance they wouldn't.

    A rather clear demonstration you can't discern the difference between an income tax and a consumption tax. I guess that is a lesson reserved for second year econ students. Stick with it, you'll eventually get there.

    Come on! I said in the second sentence that income tax was not the only consideration. Maybe you should read the post before responding to it and looking...well like you didn't read the post and don't know what you are talking about.

    So you think consumption has nothing to do with economic growth? More money in the hands of more people equals increased consumption. go figger.

    Pretty nice baseless claim. Remember the last "hooded" government representative was a democrat who died just 8 years ago in office. But go a head and keep your tin foil hat on.

    With the exception of Trump, every candidate needs the likes of people like George Soros to become president and his ultimate goal as well as the rest of the 'ideologues', is a one world government under Washington's hegemony and corporate ownership. He who owns the corporations will own the world. Someone said he traced it to 5 anonymous owners - and I think he's right.

    The hope was that Trump being the egotist he is, will not bow to the war mongering ideologues with their Russophobia, but their aligned media is giving him a hard time - as we can see.
