The Trump Presidency

[sturg33]

and now they're trying to take away the fed deduction for state and local taxes.
really helping middle class america!

Just curious - do you think higher taxes on people is a negative thing?

[sturg33]

Cut 1.5 trillion from Medicare etc

To give a 1 trillion tax cut to the 1%

So proud of this country

Curious... is this a cut to medicare or a "cut" to medicare?

[Hawk]

recover from what ?

Tax cuts, according to you.

[57Brave]

I will argue the tax cuts were in part, not all, of the recession/collapse.
Didn't mean they were the sole reason
Sorry if that was the interpretation

[57Brave]

which completely avoids the initial question, recover from what?

Even this is incredibly wrong.

[cajunrevenge]

Don't let any politician tell you they don't have the money to replace these cuts. Legalize marijuana and we more than make up that tax revenue.

that is far too broad of a question.
no, not always.

Do you believe that liquidity made (middle-class) spenders overconfident?

It needs to happen.

[57Brave]

perhaps, I do believe it made the wealthier more overconfident.

There is that economic term again, confident.
At what point does one allow confidence become certainty.

You are still avoiding the question, recover from what ?
thethe faults Obama for a weak recovery

Im faulting liberal policies for a terrible recovery. Obama was the figurehead.

Ugh...I don't get what your angle is here but the recession.

I'll go with the subprime mortgage crisis, for starters.

[57Brave]

if it was a weak recovery, why was there a recovery in the first place.

Recoveries are kinda like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

No such thing as a bad peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Any recovery is a movement forward from some disastrous situation.

With that in mind, recover from what ?
My next question would be, why?
Why was any recovery necessary -- why was the status quo Obama inherited in need of recovery?

Are we witnessing a Trump recovery?
Are you arguing that ?

[57Brave]

nothing fishy there.
Wasn't that the model for Trump U ?

You can compare recoveries and determine which was weaker and then evaluate for what reasons.

We are not in a recovery period which makes this boom even more impressive.

Do you actually think this is comparable?

[Hawk]

For profit colleges?
