The Republicans are barely better. At least Democrats are brazenly open enough to admit it.

Democrats actually need to start being anti-war, and Republicans need to actually be small-government again before I even begin to think about taking either of them seriously.

Elephants are red, Donkeys are blue. Neither gives a f—- about you.

I actually agree with you. Deep state Republicans suck! These politicians walk in with some money. They leave worth tens of millions of dollars.

People need to quit rewarding them by giving up their addiction of voting them back into office every term.

No, we aren't. The economy has slowed a little bit but is still plenty strong and steady. There are no signs of a looming recession.

It’s a cycle, so you’re never wrong predicting a recession when the economy is humming along.

Yeah but for how long now have people been predicting this crash/recession now? And nothing....

The economy is solid right now.

It’ll come. It always does, and everyone acts surprised for some reason.

TDS at its finest. Bet you a million bucks I'll be as good or better this time next year.

Do you even know what caused The Great Recession?

Even if, now, there were an imminent recession, it wouldn't even be on the same level of awfulness.
