LOL. Your logic is so much nonsense.


Less taxes coming in while expenses are going up is bad. It takes a special kind of nonsense to try and claim otherwise. While there might be short term periods where this could be true, this is not that time.


Looking better off while spending up the credit card. Thats the difference between reality, and appearances. You should think about this one some. We are spending like crazy while dropping our income.



Oh congratulations, you've trolled people. And made them upset enough to call you names. In the end that anger is going to help drive Democratic voting.



The last point is mildly relevant. Except....
Democrats are winning majority of the votes, however the combination of gerrymandering, and the electoral college has helped Republicans win seats despite their unpopularity. The issue they are about to discover is that this has limits. The elections in a few months will demonstrate this.

Once again, there is absolutely no explanation of why tax receipts are down and the deficit is getting bigger. Completely off topic. All WaldoKitty can do is attack democrats in response to a thread about why republicans are blowing the deficit up.

Now this part is opinion. But remember this opinion too and note when it was made because it's said in the same light.

  • Donald Trump is going to continue to jack the jaws of the Democrats. Why? Because of bleating like in this topic, general hate on Americans, and complete derangement over Russians.

BTW, no, it is republicans who want America to fail. If they didn't want America to fail, they wouldn't be blowing up the budget deficit.

This is another case of it. Reality - economy is booming, people are working and support for Trump is surging.
The economy is doing well, it was doing pretty well before Trump took office but the deficit is doing even better. I am glad the economy is improving but they better show something for a few Trillion more in deficit spending. Running deficits in a good economy is a red flag, this won't last for ever and then what, more borrowing when the recession hits.


The companies are spreading out the tax hit on repatriated money over 10 years making a bad deficit worse, yet here is Kudlow & friends talking about another reduction in capital gains tax.

BS. We had experienced one of the longest period of job growth (75 months), household income jumped 5.2 percent jump between 2014 and 2015, one of the biggest increases in 50 years, the stock market was way up (245%) and crime was way down.

So many other economic indicators vastly improved under Obama after the previous republican (Bush - remember him?) administration.

And you claim Democrats and anti-Trumpers are telling us how bad the US is doing? That was trumps stump speech, that was his claim throughout the election and even during the SOTU trump claimed America was in bad shape... Only to miraculously improve within the first two or three months of his administration.

We all know trump cant tell the truth, I wonder why almost every post you make is also (at best mistaken, but most likely) a lie.

You would think with the near record deficit spending we would see some benefit to working Americans. Not so. The Labor Dept said today that wages actually declined this month and year over year they are up only pennies from last year - well below inflation. Of course, the incomes of the rich are soaring on the backs of the workers who are getting stuck with paying the deficit that the Trump tax cuts are causing. MAGA? It's worse than ever.

again- no actual facts...just a lot of "opinions"...perhaps cite any of these pearls of wisdom if you are going to claim them as facts...perhaps we need a refresher in what facts actually are?

I'll admit, it's not good to have a tax cut during this phase of an economic expansion. His tax "cut" should have targeted the working class more and he should have added a 50% tax bracket for people who make more than $2M per year. There should have been more cuts to programs as well. There's so much government waste that occurs... my guess is he just wants the economy to make it to the end of his term as he knows he'll probably be defeated.

The thing to watch for is an inverted yield curve.. for the 2 year to be trading at a higher yield than the 10 and 30 year by at least .25% ... that will generally mean a recession within 18 months.

Well, the tax cut (by percent) is more for the working/middle class than the wealthy.

Well people should have gotten a better education because blue collar workers complaining about stuff like this are are stupid and deplorable.

Kinda shows where most independent Americans are stuck between varying idiocy and pigeonholing.
