Yeah, so? It's called 'eminent domain'. Look it up.

That is actually a yuuge issue in TX - landowners on border with Mexico resent this. Remind you that TX landowners sunk Trans American highway...government taking private land is not popular around here.

Did Gearge Soros make GWB or Trump do those tax cuts ? I don't think so.

Looks like federal tax "revenue" is nothing but up after the Trump tax cuts, so I don't see the problem.

First REAL AMERICAN president that we have had since Regan....you go SIR! Please...we need you badly...sooooomuch evil in the world growing from weak politicians.

Yup.

He's a boss who makes the right calls and moves. He's willing to do controversial things that need to be done, which typically don't get done.

He shats all over the oppressive PC movement. He trolls crazy leftists because that's what a boss does to insignificant knats.

His stance and tactics against China are far more important than things other presidents have done in recent years. The potential impact to our country's long term welfare is large.

And he keeps giving us dead terrorist leader treats. Seeing all those citizens in both Iran and Irag cheering and celebrating the latest dead terrorist was a nice touch.

NoCoupForYou says

Marcus, you're going to ignore the undisputed FACT that we have the lowest unemployment in 50 year

No, I've repeatedly told you what it means, and even have posted Trump saying the same thing. It's not a bad thing, but it doesn't mean what you want it to mean. Yes, less people are elligible for unemployment benefits than any time in the last 50 years.

But you have nothing whatsoever to say about this (below) ?


marcus says

After you

Maybe more wives are staying home because their husbands are kicking ass at work. You cant discern a narrative from 1 chart. This goes double if you start w a narrative, then go look for ambiguous stats to prove it.

So... how about you tell us what you think this means?

:
The graph is labor participation rate of Men 20 and over. No narrative required. Steady, just under 72% since 2013 or so.

Where as the unemployment graph shows the percentage of the population that qualifies for unemployment benefits.

You tell me, which is a more meaningful indicator of employment reality in the U.S ?

I do think boomers leaving the labor force probably affect this a little (making it look a little worse than it is). I don't know, perhaps that accounts for a lot of the 4% drop from where we were before 2007. And then since those retired people are receiving SS, or pensions, or living off of savings, it's not a negative on the economy.

marcus says

Uh, what's 1946 plus 65?

Uh, how old are people born in 1950 this year? 1955?

What size is that generational cohort?

Thanks.

who is this money owed to? and what happens if it never gets paid back?

All men 20 and over? Yeah... if you think this chart is because orange man bad the TDS has won.

NCFY above tries to hint at the answer.

All me 20 and above, smfh, people are retarded when it comes to statistics.

You should read my comments.

He only came up with that after I said it multiple times. I said it first. Because it doesn't make sense that it's flat. And unlike you trolls I'm willing to look at things honestly.

Boomers retiring could be making a graph that would be up slightly, flat. Unlikely it can account for that much of the 4% we're down from 2006 though. Because as large as the boomer cohort is there are about as many entering the labor force as leaving. Millennials are actually greater in number than boomers.

Labor force just refers to jobs, not how good they are - so it doesn't explain that much.

CBOEtrader says

Yeah sure , shake your head and say I'm stupid, to hide your inability to assemble a logical thought on the matter.

marcus says

Because it doesn't make sense that it's flat.

So you are saying Trump is doing a better than expected job?

Marcus start by making a statement. Then support that statement.

I dont think your chart suggests what you imply it suggests. You dont actually say what it suggests, cause that's how trolls troll.

Your method of ambiguous implicative communication forces others to infer your meaning. Then you act as if everyone is a retard for not reading your mind. Do you not want to discuss your "points"?

Do you have a core point to defend? Please state it

CBOEtrader says

Do you have a core point to defend? Please state it

I already did.

1) THe unemployment graph is great, but not nearly as great as Trump promoters want to make it. It represents the percentage of people that are eligible for unemployment benefits.

2) The percentage of Men age 20 and above that are employed has held steady the last 5 years or so at about 72%, which is 4% below where it was before the crash.

There you go. Instead of just presenting the graph, I read it for you.

Better ?

More parades coming soon....I love parades.

LOL....times sure have changed for the good finally...convert or die rulers are so yesterday

IMO Patrick should not require a login to view pics.

I agree that anything cloud related should be avoided!
The only good thing that ever came from all this cloud shit were all those nude celebrity pics that got leaked. I'm specifically referring to "The Fappening".

Americans want to have a civil war because of illegal immigrants, homosexuals, and pot, but no one cares that the US is a bankrupt warmongering police state.

@patrick,
Nybiker is a bot. I thought xe was banned already a while ago?

Oil is a bot too, from memory

Exactly - Iran rulers lie and BS as bad as Democrats and the Media...race to the bottom

LOL.... takes a 'real' man to admit that

Rumors are Iranian rulers are are begging John Kerry to get Jimmy Carter to run again, but JC just responded 'who are you...did I help build a house for you/'.

HEYYOU says

Republicans,
I hear Iran is a beautiful,you should visit.

You know the only travelers will be liberals trying to prove to America that world is loving and accepting and nothing bad ever happens.

Its people's thoughts n links whatthat they can get u for extortion?

Yep, this is why past leaders were too cowardly to stop wars by taking out the enemy leader. The cowards would rather get thousands of their own citizens killed rather than set themselves up as a possible target.

Unfortunately there are few organisms eating plastics, and the CO2 we generate is the one plants absorbed over millions of years in the past.
