[jomar]

you mean the recovery that started in 2016 ?

LOL

You must be KeithD's son!

He is of an age

Really? Best you can truly say is that Trump hasn’t fucked up the recovery yet.

He's responsible for the recovery. market is up 10,000 points since he took office.

Sure thing, Fuzzy - just like all of those Hollywood liberals SWORE that they'd move to Canada if Trump ever became president! But then Trump fixed Obama's stagnating economy and they all suddenly changed their minds!

I've noticed that even phrodeau has stopped watching CNN - he now claims it's nothing more than "fake news!"

YDB95 writes: "The Dems could bend over backwards and give Trump everything he wants, and the next Democratic president would still run into nothing but contempt from the Republics."

You've got NOTHING to back up that nonsense, YDB95 - if Barack Obama had actually shown some backbone, he might have had a successful presidency. Instead, he chose to allow old white liberals to dictate his political agenda, resulting in his party getting destroyed at the legislative level of government, with an additional $10-trillion added to the U.S. debt, topped-off by a presidential executive letter allowing transgendered guys to use women's restrooms!

Both Barack Obama & Joe Biden have claimed they THEY'RE the guys responsible for Trump's booming economy, but nobody actually takes them serious! Barack still believes the government can legislative prosperity with more borrowing & spending, just like they've done in Venezuela!

Rightguide says (about Trump): "He's responsible for the recovery. market is up 10,000 points since he took office."

Democrats argue that Obama's plan all along was for there to be eight years of economic stagnation (from 2008 to 2016), followed by an economic BOOM to begin on January 20, 2017! Nobody can seriously follow that twisted logic, but it's pretty much ALL they've got! Have you noticed that NONE of that party's contenders for their 2020 presidential nomination are attacking Trump's handling of the economy? Not a one!

So I can take it your answer is no.

I suppose you really believe that.

Fuzzy1975 writes: "So I can take it your answer is no."

Correct.

You're asking me if I'd ever leave the United States because a Democrat was elected president? If you ask that same question to a Democrat, they'll immediately answer "yes," because they're intolerant of others who disagree with them over political issues. But then they'll end up staying, because the U.S. tends to be a better (and more prosperous) place when Republicans are in power.

When Barack Obama was first elected president back in 2008, along with ENORMOUS Democratic Party majorities in both the U.S. House & Senate, I knew it wouldn't last! By the 2010 midterms, the American people were sick of Obama's party, with 64-House & six Democratic Party incumbent U.S. Senators defeated! And when Obama was then re-elected (with over three-&-a-half million FEWER popular votes) in 2012, Republicans kept their control of the House of Representatives, soon taking over the U.S. Senate, as well (which they've continued to hold ever since!)

The Democrats have a long history of messing-up after taking power! I can't think of a better illustration of this than Nancy Pelosi's ill-conceived partisan impeachment of a U.S. president with the G.O.P. firmly in control of the U.S. Senate! The voter BACKLASH is going to DESTROY her hold on the House in 2020!

 

[Rightguide]

I suppose you really believe that.

It happened on his watch. Obama surrendered to 1.5% growth as the new normal. He had no faith in America and no vision for it's future.

They have a fatal flaw in their political DNA. It allows ideology to trump reason every time.

So... What you're saying is that you're happy with trump running the country on an open, no limit, credit card and happy just to pay off the minimum payment each month. Your kids can deal with clearing the mountain of mounting debt.
Nothing wrong with that as long as you know that's what you're doing and you're not deluding yourself that it's healthy economics.

IF Trump were doing so it would probably be a vast improvement.

But Trump isn't doing that, he doesn't control the spending, he's not the one burying the country in debt.

 

[YDB95]

- Support for Congress is 27%

Keep in mind that refers to the Senate as well as the House. Besides, Congress almost never has high approval ratings.

One could correctly take that to mean they almost never do a good job.

I think you meant to say that the recovery has continued on his watch.

Didn't Trump increase the budget ( increased Military spending)? Is not the budget spending?
Didn't Trump put in place a tax cut?
Isn;t Trump demanding billions for his wall, if that comes to fruition, isn't that "spending"?

So by the two above I would say Trump does affect spending.

Now where are the cut's to spending to equalise the lost revenue and offset the dollars lost through the Tax cuts?

By doing the above, Trump has added to the debt, just like Obama, Bush Jr, Clinton, Bush Sr, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson all did before him.

 

[gunthernehmen]

It's not Trump's wall. The bill that authorized the border wall was passed by a previous administration, either Obama or Bush. Too tired to look it up. Trump is only completing the job the Democrats left undone.

Did I not give credit to the other presidents too though for adding to the Debt. So I am not disputing previous administrations add to the debt.

But Trump did ask for something like 25 billion new dollars. Which I think in new money, he received only a couple billion in the budget. He then went and allocated other money in the budget to be diverted to his wall, to increase the amount to about 6 billion in total spending so far. That seem about right?

President Trump has been impeached. Finally. Happy days are here again.

President Obama knew NOTHING about economic matters before becoming president. He basically borrowed $10-trillion to spend on "shovel-ready jobs" and government stimulus packages (like investing $500-million in the Solyndra Corporation, which promptly declared bankruptcy!) President Obama also punished businesses with higher taxes and increased regulations, resulting in stagnant jobs-growth for eight long years!

President Trump (who has a far better understanding of economic matters that did President Obama) took a different approach, which created a non-stop business BOOM that has created millions of high-paying new jobs (that Obama said would NEVER return), resulting in the lowest unemployment rates EVER for minorities in America. This has so alarmed the Democratic Party's leaders that they decided they needed to IMPEACH this president in the hope that it will help keep their black & hispanic supporters from switching over to supporting President Trump!

Sadly for the Democrats, the House can impeach, but only the U.S. Senate has the power to actually remove a president from office! This partisan Democrat effort is doomed to failure in the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate, which will very likely result in a voter backlash against the Dems and the clown-show coup they attempted to foister upon the American people!

Doesn't change anything. Senate won't convict him.

 

[gunthernehmen]

Not surprised.

If the Senate follows the law, they will acquit promptly.

Merry Christmas!

Yay for Impeachment week. Eleven more judges cleared for Senate confirmation, Defense authorization approved, USMCA coming to the floor tomorrow, and POTUS up six points in the latest Gallup poll. #winning

Obama inherited a recession. He presided over an ongoing recovery that Trump is enjoying.

Trump only knows how to borrow money, create debt and go bankrupt. So far he has succeeded in not reversing the economic recovery that began under the Obama administration.

Sadly for the Democrats, the House can impeach, but only the U.S. Senate has the power to actually remove a president from office! This partisan Democrat effort is doomed to failure in the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate, which will very likely result in a voter backlash against the Dems and the clown-show coup they attempted to foister upon the American people!

I dunno, Republicans might need to take care they aren’t seen as not taking the constitution seriously.

This is the best impeachment ever!
