The economy is on fire

Name 1 Republican that wouldn't have done the same thing?

What are you talking about? Every Republican pres would cut taxes, increase military spending, secure the border, fix immigration. Overall any Republican would be the evil racist capitalist Boogeyman. Just because you disagree with what's being done doesn't mean nothing is getting done.

I don't disagree with what's being done. Trump is simply incompetent at doing it. Most Republicans know this, the few sycophant hold outs like you will come around soon. I'll wait.

Lol. Trump is what we have. Being an anti Trumper just helps the left.

Yet he’s doing it. You’re just a butthurt hater
 
Still low interest rates and Republicans/Trump just took out a $1.5 Trillion loan for tax cuts. Only a moron would expect the economy to not be thriving right now. It was already thriving before the $1.5 Trillion loan Republicans/Trump just took out.

We're seeing some wage growth, which is the major effect that must happen. It hasn't happened in the past, which is why many are still very pessimistic about Republicans/Trump doubling down on failed policies of yesteryear. Time will tell how this works out. Current market values, and a few tiny bonuses and raises for a few people, aren't going to tell us the story. Only an idiot would be trumpeting around like everything is amazing right now because of Republicans/Trump. It is too soon to tell, especially after 8 years of steady growth prior.

6th largest Dow drop just behind the Sept 11 drop and 4 from 2008. Of course, as a percentage it was only 2.5%.
Today may be a new record

Why do the Dems always forget to mention the trillion is a 10 year window. Obama was adding that to deficit every year

Oh no! The market is now only up 39% since Trump's election. DOOM!
 
2009 $1,413
2010 $1,294
2011 $1,300
2012 $1,087
2013 $679
2014 $485
2015 $438
2016 $585
2017 $666

We can say it is 50% true until he fixed Bush's mess. BTW, 2018 will get real close to $1T ($666B + $150B = $816B) if they bump defense and more corporate welfare

LOL!! Prior to Obama the largest deficit we ran as a country was $350M.

After his election, we never ONCE ran a deficit smaller than $350B. We barely even approached it. He lumped so much new spending into Obamacare and other pet projects, yet people like you cheered since it was done under the guise of socialist pet left wing programs.

I also like how you assume that the entire deficit comes from 2 items. Nothing to do with health care spending or our now ballooning interest that we owe on 8 years of borrowing under Obama.

More hack economic math. Just stop fighting it- you socialists lost. Just sit back and enjoy real economic growth for a change.

I don't know if it is a liberal or conservative website and I don't care either way. First thing that came up when searching

This is what is wrong with today's conservatives. They place the burden of proof on other people to prove they are wrong when they make up bullshit from thin air.
 
Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump??!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
You seem like a ‘Trump til I die’ kinda guy. There were 16 other Republicans, most of them with morals that would have done the same thing with the economy or better. They also would have repealed Obama, which this guys’s Tweets effed up.
 
Sometimes I’m amazed you idiots can’t do a 2 second search to find the raw, hard data that exists anywhere

https://www.thebalance.com/us-deficit-by-year-3306306

I’m soooo sorry. It was $378B in 2003 and not $350B. But that’s it. That was the largest up until Obama entered office and ran multiple $1T deficits, en route to never having a deficit smaller than $400B. And legislation signed by him has all but assured things get worse. The CBO last year projected we’d have a deficit of $1T again by 2021 due to Obamacare spending and tepid growth (something now being addressed)

It’s incredible how liberals quite literally create their own facts to support non arguments
 
I won’t call you an idiot solely because we disagree politically. You are still Knight family, even though you are wrong.

If you can look at a hard set of data as I just gave, and still declare that you’re right and I’m wrong, then you’re either a flaming imbecile or an ignorant hack. Neither of which is desirable.

Which are you?

The deficit is a trailing indicator depending on the current economy (money in) and prior spending engagements (money out). Your argument is going to fall on its fafe in the next few months.

No, he just looked at the data dotard.
2004 = $413 B
2008 = $459 B

Now tell me why Bush isn't responsible for 2009 while Obama is responsible for 2017 and 2018

i dont think its a liberal/conservative thing. i think if a person makes a statement they claim to be fact, they need to be able to show it is all. i think most people feel that way.

i wasnt attacking you there, i just wanted to see the data. im not going to say conservatives are always right and liberals are always wrong. that is just insane and is the root of the problem we have today.

we all want the same thing. a strong and prosperous us. we just have different ideas about how to achieve that goal. i wish we wouldnt get so caught up in our "teams" and try to work together better to achieve that same goal.

i was laughing at you because you said the vote was about morals. hillary might be one of the most corrupt politicians in recent history. trump is clearly not a saint, but to paint it as a moral choice between the two is asinine.

i didnt vote for him, i voted for the libertarian party. trump is basically retarded when it comes to twitter. i wish hed give it up and let someone else handle it for him. he doesnt act presidential at all and that bothers me.

that said, i think hes been completely mistreated by the media. 90% negative coverage is just insane. he has done some good things and some bad things. id say more good than bad, but thats me. overall i think hes been a pretty decent president so far, but its too early to tell. id also say i have to believe he actually wants to make a difference, right or wrong. hes old and has a ton of money. why else would he put himself and family through all of this?

The economy goes back to the '70s, and especially the 'cheap debt' of the late '90s. It's getting worse and worse and we keep 'kicking the can down the road.'

The Executive has to do with timing, not any policy. Although NAFTA certainly didn't help. Insert Ross Perot (and why I voted for him).

I’m confused- you were just glorifying the economy under Obama as he ran deficits much larger than today. Which is it?
