The economy grew under Obama.
However you do have a point. How much of all this stock market highs and unemployment lows is due to optimism? I was thinking about this today. Is it possible that Trump could turn out to be a great President not by doing great things but simply by saying he did great things?
I guess we will find out. I'm not so sure he can keep this going for much longer.
We had years of Reagan and a recession at the end of his term. It cost Bush a second term. Then Clinton came along and made the economy great again.
Bush Jr. sunk it and we went into the biggest recession in history. Obama brought it back to the point we are at right now. Economists consider this to be almost full employment.
(Considering the fact that we were at 50% unemployment just a year ago this is quite remarkable)
In all seriousness, this is not a good place for Trump to be in. How do you deport immigrants when we are at full employment and still grow the economy? He is a genius if he figures it out.
Another triggered snowflake.
Manufacturing started it's decline in the 80's and we have lost manufacturing jobs every year since. These are jobs that were largely held by white men without a lot of education. Now these jobs don't exist for the generation of white men that was born in the 80's. Now these men can't get jobs and instead are dying left and right from heroin overdoses.
These are facts. Not opinions. Trump agrees.
Reagan destroyed the economy. Manufacturers left America in droves during his administration.
There was also a stock market crash soon after he left office. We are still suffering from Reaganomics.
So you believe CNN when they report positive stories about Trump? Wow…...
I guess this proves ObamaCare doesn't kill jobs since so many small businesses created new jobs despite ObamaCare still being law.
This is kinda like your parents locking the liquor cabinet when they go away for the weekend. They treat the President like a child.
So you think Trump is a pervert who will ruin the economy? What a glowing endorsement.
Would you feel this way if Trump announced he was switching back to being a Dem?
The five year ban was not scaled back. It still exists today and it is enforced (although MA ran afoul of the law about ten years ago but quickly rectified it once it was discovered).
This is just Trump flat out lying. He is proposing a policy that already exists.
Trump said at his West Virginia campaign rally tonight that part of his welfare proposal is to ban immigrants from welfare programs for five years. That sounds like a reasonable proposal.
The only problem with it is that this has been the law since Bill Clinton reformed welfare in 1996. Why doesn't Trump know these things? Is this really the leader of the free world? He doesn't even have a basic grasp of how it works.
I have no idea how these things are related.
1. He DID not win NH.
2. NH has a serious opioid problem. The drugs are bought and sold by mostly white males.
Why would Trump announce it? Everybody knows it already.
The guy was a Republican until 2015. He switched to a Dem to run for office.
Maybe Trump is announcing that he is a Democrat!!!!
Seriously though, this should be illegal. The guy ran on as a Democrat and should have to remain a Democrat until he finishes his term.
Trump congratulated a Purple Heart recipient who lost all his limbs!
Last time he did something like this he announced that Obama was born in the United States!
Same here. I used to work at 30 Broad St. The gold letters made me sick to my stomach.
Now it all makes sense! Frederick is a time traveler!
I think it depends on the type of doctor. A resident can work 18-20 hour shifts. A chiropractor may work 10-4 and take every Friday off.
Doctor shortages is a totally separate issue that needs to be addressed.
There's no shortage of doctors. There is a shortage of doctors who do 40 hours of work a week.
Once again you are making a great case as to why single payer is a better option. Doctors don't work 20 hours per week because they are paid too much money. Pay them less under a single payer system and they will work more.
It really is a shame that our President LIED about locking her up. She deserves it.
All of your views on healthcare lead me to believe you really want single payer.
