thor Posted February 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 2 hours ago, Downtown said: First off, define "the economy." A lot of dum dums (probably @thor included) think "the economy" is simply the stock market. There are so many other factors. Our short-term economic outlook looks all shiny while our long-term economic outlook is bleak. At the moment our stock market, our trade policies, our deficit problem, and most of the many other factors that constitute our "economy" can all be attributed to short-term gains at the cost of long-term goals. In short, we're selling our future to make a quick buck. So no, our economy isn't successful, its fools gold for the idiots in the room. Even @Rolltide tried to chime in on gas prices without even looking at why they're cheap (coronavirus and china's production halt). What's truly impressive is the level of manipulation that the FED has been able to achieve over a long period of time. For Trump to pressure the FED to continue QE just to keep things churning tells you all you need to know, its all fake money and we're just borrowing away to keep the illusion going while stupid people like @thor will fall over themselves trying to make it seem as if Trump has done anything but line the pockets of the wealthy at the expense of the working class, which by the way, is why the stock market is still going up. Of course stocks will increase when you give those companies all the money!!! LOL!!! It's time for the "Wall Street" mentality to explain why "the economy" is not doing what they think it should be doing... or why it's doing what it's doing... Lost in Trumpland...

Yeah, I think a lot of us saw the cuts to social programs coming a mile away when the tax cuts came in. Cut taxes. Wait some time. Cut social programs to offset tax cuts. Rinse & Repeat. Unfortunately, upping taxes is bad politically, and it's rare to find a politician who will go against their best interests and do the 'right' thing for the greater good.

This is traditional Republican MO. Not new for Trump. It is one of the hallmarks of the GOP. Actually, increasing taxes on the wealthy is super popular right now. The Trump tax cuts gives the next Dem president a lot of leeway to raise taxes. Not so much on the middle class, but certainly on the wealthy. They just need majorities in the House and Senate to get it done. Edited February 11, 2020 by Starkiller MadMax, and TitansFan777 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears Thor doesn't even believe the consumer drives the economy. I mean, it's unbelievable that the central tenant to the economy isn't believed. They have been told to believe, for so long, that if we give breaks and money to the rich, it'll trickle down to everyone else. So much so they no longer understand that the consumer drives the economy. At least, that's what I'm gathering from Thor's "understanding". I get the resistance to regulations, unfortunately, we never hear about specific regulations, just an over arching "regulations are bad" from the right. Hey, I have no doubt some of them are over reaching, but this is NEVER discussed. Only regulations are bad. If their drinking water turns to shit? Probably won't matter. They don't drink water. But just the fact Thor will laugh off the idea that the consumer drives the economy.....just, wow. He's broken, like much of the right. They no longer stand for anything outside of abortion and immigration. WG53, and thor 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
