NYT Op-ed:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/15/o...nt-broken.html


"Right now moderates are in retreat. The populist extremes are on the march. But the fact is they are basing their economic and political agendas on a story that is fundamentally untrue."

This is the false narrative the NYT was talking about...Economy was in shamble when Obama took over..and has slowly recovered...not really due to Obama or Trump..but slowly things are getting better--as the article points out.

So, with a healthy economy...we cut corporate taxes by 15% to help create growth?
Even though most know that the money business saves will never be seen again? At least, not by the consumer.

We never recovered from 08, the fed reserve just kicked the can down the road with "easing"

It depends on where you live.

Charlesotn SC has had amazing growth in the last 5 years. Charleston region's economy humming at fastest pace in South Carolina | Business | postandcourier.com

Stock market is doing well? Wages are slow to rise but I blame that on CEO greed. The salaries of CEO's have seen increases they just aren't sharing. Folks think now they will when Trump gives them more cash....we'll see --

Oh Praise Jesus!
SC does better than most in receiving federal dollars

Quote:
"It boggles the mind to think about all the federal money that comes into this state that we do all kinds of stuff to get and then we pretend it isn't federal money," U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, a Columbia Democrat, told The Greenville News.

"If you shut down 25 percent of all the federal dollars coming into South Carolina, the economy of South Carolina would collapse."

For years, Washington and its surrounding suburbs have been among the most affluent in the country. The four highest-earning counties in the United States, as measured by median incomes, are all near D.C., according to the Census Bureau. The top three are in Virginia — Loudoun County, followed by Falls Church City (an independent city treated by the Census Bureau as a county) and Fairfax County — and No. 4 is Howard County, Md.

The region also has plenty of millionaires. Maryland, Virginia and Washington are all in the top 10 for millionaires per capita, according to Phoenix Marketing.
