Comparing a bounceback for the worst recession since the Depression, to a mature recovery, is rather silly.

Just two words: Nunes memo

The left always forgets that under Obama the jobs created were all part time jobs. Under Trump, the jobs created were full time jobs and millions upon millions of part time jobs became full time jobs. That's why the economy is soooooooooooooo much better under Trump.

Unlike most of my pals, I have Israeli level security manning the wall around my junk. I don't like hitchhikers. 42 is also the number of congregation at the TX church one of said pals' some-sorta-church official announced existed every Sunday when he was a kid. I like pork fried rice muy bueno.

I'm not so informed about the Smollett thing, but i'll take your word for it.

You're not familiar with it because you only listen to left-wing media who don't give you the full story. You think Fox lies. Just last night MSNBC told a whopper about Trump, telling their viewers that he cosigned a loan at Deutsche bank with Russian oligarchs friendly to Putin. Trump threatened them with lawsuit and the statement was retracted.

CNN and the left-wing media lies about Trump constantly, spent the last two and half years pushing the false Russiagate story. Like I keep telling you, you have to hear both sides of the news before you get the whole story.

Sir... This is a Wendy's.

I wondered about that. My daughter ordered some trinkets on amazon and they came direct from China. The listed postage was like a buck 89. Seemed way too cheap.

You do realize that as the UE rate approaches zero, and as wages rise to attract workers, that the number of new jobs created must necessarily decline, don’t you?

The current unemployment rate is 3.7, which is essentially full employment. Whose creating jobs when there’s no one to hire?

It’s completely preposterous.

At least your fellow cultists will eat this BS up.

Yeah sure, my company has hired over 50 people so far this year.

Usually we see one or two, usually to replace someone.

LOL, you can't make this up. People actually write about job creation being slow. What's the source, "thinkdumbass.org"?

Here's a quick lesson in 101-whatever. Growing from the bottom is easy. Growing when you are close to the top is hard. It gets mathematically impossible to show sustained YoY growth when you are close to the top.

Hey, jazz, what growth would you expect when current unemployment rate is 3.7%? Which in practical terms means that pretty much everyone who's capable and not a complete deadbeat is already employed?

surplusses as far as the eye can see

The infamous "peace dividend".

Is something stopping her from paying what she was before the tax cuts? Could she not donate more to the government if she wanted? Maybe she goes on to discuss that, but I stopped listening, nails, meet chalkboard. I don't need some rich lady, that likely has an office full of tax accountants and attorneys at her disposal, to talk to me about tax cuts. She probably has zero understanding of her own tax situation. And I'm sure her accountants just sit and try and get her taxes done as rapidly as possible without looking for ways to reduce the taxes paid. She's a hypocrite.

Here's an idea. Set up some sort of pact like Bill Gates did and other rich people saying they'll donate most of their fortune to charity before or when they die. Make this one where they donate their fortunes to the IRS when they pass away. You know, give back to the people that made you rich instead of some shithole in Africa where the money is likely stolen and squandered. Or charity jobs are given to friends to run some BS program. The solution is right there in front of her, but instead she just complains.

She’s free to pay more to corrupt government which steals our money to give to their connected friends.

Liberals always want others to pay more to government.

Why do people post paywall crap?

College professors don't.

those that are obsessed with TDS...

Lol you haven't been to sweden lately.

5,300 homeless over the age of 62 in Los Angeles alone mostly thanks to corporate loopholes in existing rent control laws.

Damn you, Republican supermajority!

US TAXPAYERS! should pay for each and every cancer treatment in the whole world. Only this way WHITE! PRIVILEGE! can be broken!

jazz_music says

We are in an age now where the rich are feeding like vampires off the misery of the general population in America.

Reason - cheap money, given to Failed Loser banks and Automotive Industries by St. Obama and Bush.

Let them FAIL! and their CEO's should either JUMP! or undergo complete cashectomy. Then small businesses would take the place of these politically connected and incompetent dinosaurs. Unfortunately, they won't as Big Business owns our government.

Dude please the corporate loopholes may contribute maybe 5% to the problem and that's generous. Everyone with a common sense brain knows that if you import immigrants to the tune of millions over the years then the areas where they concentrate will exhibit brutal rental and house price increases. That's 95% of the problem. Close the borders and you will see house prices and rents fall and homelessness decrease by 80% within 5 years. Voting Democrat has consequences, homelessness is one of them.

jazz_music says

Immigration could be solved in five minutes if we'd start enforcing existing laws in most cases and PROSECUTE EMPLOYERS. But we don't, like never!

this also means illegal immigration is a problem - simply the ways how it is approached is carefully designed to rile up electorate, and not deliver any solutions (beyond keeping slave labor for mega rich).

jazz_music says

The borders never were open

Right. The 30 million illegals just appeared out of thin air.

Or maybe it's unfettered illegal immigration, sanctuary status, and a corrupt bureaucracy?

falling for a fucking transparent con man

Many voted for Trump and many voted against Hillary. That is why we elected a reality show host.

jazz_music says

That's the Climate Change Chart with different labels.

Homelessness and thuggery take over cities completely controlled by Democrates for decades some of the worse half a century and its not thier fault? TDS

The immigrant problem is another convenient device for Trump to drum up support against a supposedly villainous other for his creepy crooked-assed "Nuremberg rallies."

China is another example. Gays are another.

Fascism 101: There must be boogeymen.

So don't kid yourself, all the bastards just love love love illegals and all the rest of the immigrants and would hate to solve the societal problems because then they would have to drum up another boogeyman for us all to hate and fear.

It pisses me off when I see people swallowing this fucking game. And falling for a fucking transparent con man like they are ...

I agree on prosecuting employers but if you cannot admit that the pressure of immigration - and there are plenty of studies - is the main driver of house and rental price explosion and thus homelessness then there's common sense missing. Case in point if you move into deep rural areas in the middle house and rental affordability is generally decent and homelessness not a problem.

Fucking invasion.

Why schools are shit in California along with everything else.

RC2006 says

Fucking invasion.

100% agreed. That's how it should be treated with military responding at the border. For every county with reasonable wealth and societal cohesion protecting the border from mass immigration by any means necessary should be an imperative. Otherwise you become Sweden, don't be like Sweden.

1) Denial - you are here Jazz
2) Bargaining
3) Anger
4) Depression
5) Acceptance

Right. The globalist from George Bush, one and two, the Clintons, Obummer with their trade deals that outsourced jobs across the border and overseas has resulted in the American wage gap that allowed CEO's to earn over 400 times more than their lowest paid employees.

Trump did us all a favor when he got rid of NAFTA and TPP. That alone makes him worth while. You may hate him, but he is the best chance we have to get some equity here and that's no bullshit.

Yep just look at news coming from the border towns. It’s invasion. People are coming in huge caravans.

Robert Mugabe also broke the 1%

Swedes and Norwegians were starving and emigrated to the USA midwest along with some Finns. You see the surnames in places like Minnesota.

Just FYI, brown people is a liberal created term.

There is no such thing simply. Just like a tranny isn’t a woman.

Individually our biggest set backs and bottlenecks are out of anyones control. Your genetics, environment, temperament are each preordained. The monetary system is rigged. Your personality traits that would determine status are also preordained.

I like the monetary system note in a middle of a list of personal inadequacies.
No agency there!
