O.K., O.K., O.K.! I'll give my AC prediction. I predict that tomorrow (and for at least several decades after) the sun will rise to the east of Atlantic City and will subsequently set to the west of Atlantic City each and every day. I will go further out on a limb and predict that gamblers (and other non-gambling visitors) will still patronize Atlantic City. My last prediction is that FAA will go parasailing and have a blast.

The great Carnac has spoken.....

I received an E-mail offer from the Borgata that they are giving 4x tier credits for the month of Sept.
Did anyone else get that offer?

Just another anti-Trump rant, what else is new. Don't agree that the tax cuts are unhealthy and only benefit the rich, but agree that the casino industry in AC is in for another round of closures. Read somewhere that overall July revenues were up in AC from 2018 to 2017, but each existing individual casino's revenues were down. No surprise.

according to usgovernmentrevenue.com, total federal tax revenue collected since tax cuts, is HIGHER than before tax cuts. a growing economy is the reason.

total fed, state, local taxes collected for 2018 is predicted $6.21 TRILLION, which is also overall higher than 2017.

we do not have a revenue problem, but rather a spending problem.

No it is not "just another anti-Trump" rant, although at this point the fact that there are still people like yourself apparently who express or perceive NO qualms or problems or angst about the completely horrible and pathetic job he is doing, his persona, his blatant disrespect for an ever growing list of people, places, institutions and the very country he is supposed to be leading is itself disconcerting. When the next severe, massive recession hits no one will be able to blame Obama despite the pathological need to do so.....it will be abundantly clear and obvious what is going on.


notes1, nice example of wishful thinking and obliviousness.....don't even discuss revenue until the year ACTUALLY and verifiably ends, because all you are doing right now is cherry picking certain PREDICTIONS (i.e. Guesses) that you find agreeable to your bias in favor of the (dangerously uninformed) narcissist currently in office.....I defy you to try and deny he is a narcissist. Government revenues always spike after April until Mid summer since that is when people pay their taxes, duh. And yes, its true the fact the economy has been growing very steadily and robustly since BEFORE TRUMP took office, this also has helped revenue in an obvious fashion, but it is NOT because of these irresponsible, unwise tax cuts.

Your glib observation "We don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem" is of course, half right. (Did you come up with this pithy maxim yourself? ) The fact is we HAVE BOTH revenue and spending problems which, as two SYMPTOMS, combine to manifest the actual deadly disease at hand, which is for the past 50+ years the United STates Government, particularly the Congress, while alternating control between BOTH parties throughout this time period, has refused to behave and react in a responsible moral fashion, repeatedly acting in a selfish manner kicking the can down the road in their individual & collective beliefs that they themselves will be dead and gone by the time it truly becomes a full blown crisis that cannot be put off any longer.....this is a characteristic and guilt that Both parties, democraps & repugnentcants, share in spades. But the most current and overweening example is Trump's irresponsible and absurd tax cuts. The predictions (guesses) you are citing will have no providence once the current year is done and you see the actual real revenue tallies, and you will see that the overall comprehensive Fiscal Deficit borne by the Federal Government for THIS year of well over a TRILLION dollars will be but the start of a sustained series of Multi-Trillion dollar deficits for the foreseeable future, unless the tax cuts are undone.

Don't tell me you are unaware of Trump's personal business record, of his NUMEROUS Corporate bankruptcies and his persistent, repetitive perpetration of incurring massive debts he had absolutely no intention of ever paying off. He is doing the same now to his latest corporate vehicle, the US Government, confident in his belief that He will be long gone when the True Bill comes due.

And if you insist on just going with the simpleton's belief that it is "only" a spending problem. kindly note just what exactly can be done/reduced/restructured vis-a-vis all this spending by the US Government, keeping in mind that the 22 Trillion (and climbing FAST) DEBT must be paid back at some point by someone.

DaBurglar is President Trump the first President who kicked the can down the street?

Here is another prediction: This will not be the last political rant made by DaBurglar here in these forums this year.

[Carcounter]

Well said Ted. I wonder if some of the people who want to get rid of Trump understand that Mike Pence will become president, not Hillary. I know Da b knows this, but some of the others don't get it.

[tech58]

Ann C. was right!! Liberalism is truly a mental illness.

[DaBurglar]

This clearly exposes the hypocrisy, and the shallow simplistic nature of Trump supporters and his "base"....

First off, my post on page four of this thread where I discussed the ECONOMIC and BUSINESS situation in AC and the impact of the current policies of the current administration WAS NOT a "RANT" against Trump.... ridiculous! A person cannot make critical comments, or simply state their opinion without it automatically being called a RANT because other people resent being shown the truth about the current president. It's the same with this absurd crap about "Fake News".....just a way to marginalize or flat out deny/discredit ANY facts or reality that you simply do not like....

Second, whoever wrote "liberalism is a disease"....I totally agree 100% And if you actually think I am a liberal or advocating such a position then you clearly are not evaluating things correctly. I am fed up with all Hyper partisan, Conservative AND Liberal baloney. Most realistic solutions to the most vitally important and urgent issues (such as Healthcare, Fiscal Policy, Foreign policy) involved taking a CENTRIST approach to the issue(s) ..... History has shown that when people and societies and governments tend towards "The middle", things run more smooth than when either of the "extremes" hold sway.

Third, as far as Asking whether "President" Trump is the first president to Kick the can down the road, this question is pointless. Congress is the responsible body when it comes to the Debt of the United States of America. Congress is the responsible body for spending money and raising the debt ceiling and balancing budgets (Presidents can and do RECOMMEND and put forth yearly fiscal budgets and objectives, and they can influence spending priorities and philosophy, but the actual Power and responsibility for spending and borrowing is with Congress)......Since the end of World War two, Congress has steadily shirked and failed in its duty regarding the Debt and deficits, with the situation devolving to where we are today, where NO ONE feels the least bit compunction about spending TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS we don't have. It has gone on so long, and reached such absurd levels that people can no longer think or talk about it rationally or intelligently. And in blaming congress, I am also indirectly blaming the American Electorate (i.e. the people) who insist on NOT holding their elected representatives accountable, and who insist on becoming more and more ignorant and UNINFORMED with each passing year. You get the government you ultimately deserve.

DaB..... I am reminded of a quote from an ancient chinese philosopher 2400 years ago "If you seek to reform a society, you must first call things what they ARE".

"Centrist" politics is nothing more than collusion between so called opposing parties who both have the same objective. That objective is very simple and the only thing common and dominant in the minds of most politicians.

That objective is to maintain their office and political power! They do this by buying votes with taxpayer money!

Your rant (just calling things what they are) against president Trump misses the point of what he is trying to do. He is not a politician. He is a businessman. He understands that the ruling political cabal,the insiders,the deep state,the power mafia that pulls the strings no matter who is in office, is not looking out for the american taxpayer. You may not understand what he is trying to do but they do!

Therefor the ruling click is trying to destroy him. So far they seem to be on that road. The media and all the progressive liberal koolaid drinkers try to keep him off balance but the real war is behind the scene.
The politicians defensive insulation is being attacked layer by layer,the huge cesspool of gov. agencies and programs that do nothing but feed the power system and bleed the american taxpayer is being reevaluated.

If you doubt what i am trying to say,take this into consideration. 45 of the 50 richest counties in america are in a ring around Washington! Why is that? They produce nothing, they add no wealth to the economy, they simply feed at the public trough!

The battle is not yet lost. But the ignorance of massive numbers of voters is a tough load for for the warriors to haul. Stay tuned.

This may not be the end of my rant(just beating you to it Dab) i have run out of time.

DaBurglar why do you continue to "defy" people to do anything here? Notes1, I DEFY you; Tedlark, I DEFY you; New2vp, I DEFY you; CasinoKnight, I DEFY you. All this defying...

DaBurglar, with my comment about the President kicking the can down the street: do you not admit that the President controls Congress in some way, shape, or form? I defy you to say otherwise.

And, DaBurglar; have a lovely, lovely, day.
