    The ones everyone felt.  the only problem with those is they were not extended for everyone, and we didn't cut spending to make up for it. 

     

     

     

    or the lowered corporate rate so main street could compete with wall street and foreign countries.  

     

    No more goal post moving.

     

    This economy sucks for the poor, working and middle classes.

    People need to wake up and start electing representatives that will cut Federal spending and balance the budget.  But the problem is once you start getting a lot of "free" stuff its hard to say no.  When half the voters pay no Federal income tax what do they care about the tax rate or tax cuts or deficit spending?  Keep the free stuff coming.

    Neither party has the courage or will to cut spending and borrowing and that's why massive inflation and depreciation in the currency and standard of living are inevitable.  All the debate and blame game is just an exercise in futility. 

    The one thing you can do is plan for it and mitigate the negative impacts on you and the people that depend on you to a minimum.  

    Come on man the Democrats have balanced the budget every time they have been in the White House and the Reps spend to oblivion...

    If what you say is true, who did that?

     

    Reagan, yes?

     

    We can all agree, based on your above statement, that trickle down economic began the process of wiping out the middle class.

    Ironic comment at the end as your just parroting what someone told you.

     

    All massive liquidity into the market that mostly went directly to the fortune 500.

     

    I didn't see any of that lower the amount of homeless, because that keeps climbing like people using credit and savings to pay basic bills.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Thats what chips and the inflation bill were.

     

    Raising the corporate rate was amazing.

     

    Same with ending the child tax credit in exchange for SALT deductions.

     

     

    How about the tax cuts that blew a $1,000,000,000,000 hole in our budget?

    Thats nice. at the rate we are going, she will just rent and live in some 15-minute city where only the landowners profit.

     

    Who said one guy.  It took a lot of dems and rat GOP to pass the BS stimuluses.

     

    Its the DEMS economic agenda that's about as bad as their domestic and foreign policy.

     

    and people are feeling and seeing the results.  and they suck

     

    No matter how many voices on social media, or the talking heads say their eyes are lying.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Economic "agenda"? What, specifically, do you mean?

     

    Are you referring to the CHIPS act? The Inflation reduction act? Infrastructure bill? Come on man, you are in a cult.

     

    It blows my mind how many ppl shill for gov handouts to big biz and disparage plans meant to help the class those people are in. Insane.

    you get the housing crash would involve the kids not having the jobs to buy said house.  Then huge stimies to the banks that their grandkids will still be paying off.

     

    You grasp fractional reserve banking?  and what happens when the Assets used to provide credit lose value?

     

    The worlds top economist are not the shadows on the cave wall.

     

     

     

    they are building bunkers and talking about 3-6 rate cuts.  IF they cut rates 6 times in a year, that means people are hurting.

     

    DERP

     

    FIFY

     

     

     

     

    my god man its not that complex - although, if it is, certainly one guy cant be responsible for it...right?

     

    my daughter should be ready to buy a house in about 11 years...she can't pay 1,000,000 for her first home.

    Record credit card debt.  Housing devaluation.  Largest bank asset is said real estate.  No one believes the cooked books that doesn't count food or energy in the formula. 

     

    Remove yourself from the bindings that keep you watching the shadows on the cave wall.  

     

    We NEED the housing market to crash...how are your kids gonna afford a starter home if it doesnt? Wake up.

     

    Lemme guess...you found information that the world's top economists missed?

    So how's the economy booming? Based on what exactly? Go shopping lately? You seem to be too old to be this naive.

    Unemployment is under 4.0%, GDP is growing at un precedented levels each quarter, and the US has the lowest rate of inflation in the world. Start there.

    Only someone who lives in their parents basement would believe that the economy is booming.....but go off king.

     

    I have already said this but im as middle class as it gets. Own a home in Essex county, Ma, work for a hospital based in Boston. 17 yo and 15 yo kids, about to pay for college. not over leveraged but have a mortgage and one car note, so some debt. volunteered for some boards here in town (little league, community house) and try to make a point to help the greater good.

     

    I'm 51. But yeah, mom's basement.

    Trump's op-ed in Newsweek: "I Will Make America Great Again for Young People."

     

     

    Excerpt:

    Under Joe Biden, we are a nation in decline and rapidly losing the American Dream. But Biden's destruction of the American economy is just the beginning of his war on young people. The Radical Left has also unleashed shocking waves of violent crime and bloodshed...

  10. Correct. Trump is all of the above and his commitment to depriving women of control of their own bodies confirms how ****ed we are. Agreed.

     

    You don't want to face it, but people care. In fact, 65% of the US believes every woman has a right to control her body. Abortion will be the defining issue in 2024 and less than 40% of Americans want it banned. 

     

    You either want minority rule or you aren't listening. Either way, you lose.

    If we're re-electing a corrupt, senile and incompetent codger based solely on abortion, we're ***** as a country.

    we did that in 2016, it was a disaster.

  11. If you want to know why Republicans will lose again in 2024, look no further than Kate Cox.

     

    Instead of adapting ideas and policies that appeal to most Americans, the GOP wants to force their myopic views on everyone.

     

    It's what will reduce them to a regional sun belt party, and it's why they want minority rule.
