political odds and ends

[Eduardo]

Ok, I get it. You dislike Trump more than me. Now what?

Now you admit that I am right and you are wrong or I start to type things in ALL CAPS!

Seriously though, it's nice to hear different views.

Even though you are all wrong.

[notes1]

eduardo, you are really good at complaining. i am still waiting for your alternative candidate, that can get elected.

[Eduardo]

There are hundreds of people who could run and win against this joker line-up of Democrats. They have pretty much self-destructed already and the only reason they have a chance is the belligerence of the man in the white house.

But since you need a name and she came up already, let's go with Nikki Haley.

[notes1]

You may like the results so far, but they are far from calculated.

-you think NATO countries paying more for their own defense just happened out of the blue
-you think the reducing regulations had no effect on companies hiring
-you think a 3.7% unemployment rate just happened on it's own
-there is a new agreement between usa/mexico/canada that replaces nafta, if the dem house would ever vote on it. happened all by itself?
-consumer confidence high, i guess it just happened?
-business confidence high, despite tariffs
-retail sales high
-workers making more money, especially the bottom third, thus the increase in retail sales
-stock prices higher, 401k balances higher
-there are more jobs available, than available workers to fill them. it's called the JOLTS survey.
-workforce participation rate has increased
-record levels of employment for blacks/hispanics and women. just happened on it's own.
-he has talked up the usa economy, that is what presidents are supposed to do.
-he has jaw boned companies into expanding their usa commitment.
-lower taxes has put more money in every working person, who actually pays federal taxes. he did that.
-he is the first potus to actually fight china economically, no idea if it will work, but had to be done.
-has expanded oil/gas exploration. how about those gas prices in the low $2 range
-he has fought for border control, while being thwarted the entire time by the dems and dem courts, especially the 9th circuit.
-border walls are actually being replaced/repairs, because walls work

i could go on. he made promises, he has actual results. these didn't just happened. he did all this, while being investigated endlessly, since his election. that takes time away from him working on other things. and, what did all those investigations reap, NOTHING. but, it still goes on.

Yes, I remember when trump got up and told everyone he would fix some of the existing walls using taxpayer money. Man, what a great stump speech that was!

President Donald Trump Cancels Federal Student Debt for Wounded Warriors!!!

President Donald Trump Cancels Federal Student Debt for Wounded Warriors!!!

Not really, but it is a good sound bite. Previous administrations lead the way in forgiving student debt by totally disabled service members. What Trump did was eliminate the paperwork. It's a nice gesture but for the most part does nothing but save the member an hour or two of paperwork.

laugh all you want. some of us are not.

if trump does not win, and there is no other rep in the field now, dems will take control. no matter who they nominate, the liberals will support their candidate, warts and all. clinton got more votes than trump and she was a damn criminal. when that happens;

-millions of additional illegal aliens from central america will soon make the usa their home. they are coming because their countries suck. maybe that is your end goal. these countries are mismanaged, corrupt, crime ridden and few job opportunities.
-most of these poor, uneducated folks will require substantial tax payer funded support, including health care, housing, schooling, food stamps, etc. the cost will be enormous.
-they will drive wages even lower for legal americans, who work in the lower end income market.
-they will not pay enough taxes, to cover their expense, as many work off the books. much of their money will be sent back to their home country.
-taxes will rise for the 50% who pay federal tax, to cover these huge government outlays

and, when the dems get control, they can enact the balance of their socialist agenda and they will have created a permanent 'needy' voting block to keep them in power.

go ahead and laugh. your standard of living will drop, and dems will love it.
