Wait wait wait, you mean a POTUS inheriting a good economy is likely to have better metrics than a POTUS inheriting a bad economy?

Surely that's not the reason they cherry picked the data the way they did...right?

"Declined"

From the spike caused by emerging from the pandemic back to historical levels that are well above those seen following 2008...

In an economy that was inherited by the current s(*&stain in office who failed when real leadership was necessary...

Sit down, Junior. You're out of your depth.

When it comes to economics you are pretty bad. You are certainly not in any in if position to condescend when it comes to economics.

All I did was read a graph, sport.

Cutting bad regulations and expanding access to natural resources certainly drives growth

Bulls^*%.

So yeah, this is a big deal and a great accomplishment.

Too bad you didn't thing of it as a "great accomplishment" when the same gains were realized under Biden.

Trump doesn't lose votes because his policies create jobs and make people's lives better.

What an utterly shameless sack of s(*&.

Is this Stephen Miller's account or something?

What's the point of profits if not to help people.

Rcade, can we please get a "stupid, gullible sack of s*&^" flag?

They ranked him in Nov 2024.

In one of the worst electoral "wins" of our lifetimes.

If not THE worst.

You really have zero clue before you speak, don't you?

That explains his crushing victory in 2024

LOL f*&^ off you stupid, disingenuous piece of s*&^.

those illegals being removed from the labor force will result in wages increasing for Americans

And the subsequent increases in prices (this thing called inflation...) will wipe those gains out. At best, it will be neutral. The more likely scenario is they will end up putting workers behind again because it will be yet another opportunity to raise prices further than necessary.

First, a lot of this is related to people 'with college degrees' working in jobs where one is not required.

Complete and utter nonsense.

Second, this is caused in part by the wage suppressing nature of the illegal aliens.

You're putting the cart before the horse because you have a dishonest axe to grind.

Companies incentivize illegal migration because they'd rather pay exploitable labor less. You make it sound like they're just using a resource that just so happens to be available.

For the average American - if you make $100,000/year

Tell me you're a clueless, pontificating sack of stupid s(*& without telling me you're a clueless, pontificating sack of stupid s(*&...

What a f*&^ing idiot.

But, you cannot state that Trump's entire economic plan is not centered around this 100% scientifically backed belief system so it doesn't make sense.

The end result of your "scientifically backed belief system" is inflation.

It will have the same effect as raising minimum wages, which, predictably, caused price increases that not only negated the wage increases, but put more people in economic distress because the folks who worked their way to $15-20 an hour were now treading water or underwater again as their income gains were wiped out.

You're wrong on every facet of this. Companies suppress wages by hiring illegals and the forced hiring of higher wage domestic workers (to the extent it will happen as opposed to automation or finding new placed to offshore to) will look good on wage gains but not so good on inflation.

I've never claimed to be an expert on anything, dumbf^%#.

I just post stuff based on actual data and sources.

Thats a tough pill to swallow for stupid sacks of s^%# like you who post fantasy and talking points you've been force fed and believe uncritically.

Visitor during the spelling bees.

The paste eater commenting on intellect. Thats rich.

Still would imply a first time.

Don't worry, sport, nobody expects you to register anything other than the maga s^%# you think is real.

It DIDN'T HAPPEN under Biden you -------. In 4 years, your real wages decreased by 1.5% due to his runaway inflation. Stick to washing beakers - this economics stuff is above your pay grade.

Per the link I posted, wage growth now isn't any different than it was for most of Biden's term.

Biden was able to get inflation under control by summer of 2024.

The conditions for Trump's "accomplishment" were already in place thanks to the previous administration.

This is the same s*&^ you morons pulled when he inherited a good economy from Obama. Like then, he's doing his level best to crash it now.

You are a f*&^ing idiot who either doesn't know what he's repeating or a dishonest sack of s*&^ who can't read graphs.

So yes, prices will increase, but the positive impact on wages will surpass it.

You hope.

But you conveniently ignored the middle to upper earners who will see decreases in buying power as their wages rise less or not at all but prices increase.

The net impact of a labor shortage is an increasing middle class - this is what drove wages up in the 1950's.

So you're comparing a globalized economy with an economy post-world war with one major manufacturer...

Again, you're either a complete idiot or a dishonest piece of s*&^.

Again - stick to washing beakers. This economics stuff is beyond your pay grade.

LOL this from the guy parroting economic talking points from the administration.

The only thing above my pay grade here is being a top-level dishonest piece of s*&^.

You must work for the administration.

Hey dipshit, I thought this was what you liberals wanted. I guess it truly is the 'new' Democrat party looking out for the top 1% only.

Hey dips*&^, I'm not a librul (you don't actually know what liberals are, you think about the caricatured librul version you've been programmed to believe) and I'm certainly not the Democratic (Democrat party doesn't exist, dumbf*&^, stop listening to that talking nasal passage Mark Levin) party.

You're full of nothing but bulls*&^ and you don't even know it.

The same set of facts will yield the same result.

You really are a stupid pile of s(*&.

I have no desire to be part of the parasite government class.

#71 | Posted by ScottS

No, but you do strike me as a big enough scumbag that you'd happily join to grift and profit no matter the cost to the public.

God damn, Republicans sure are stupid.

No, they are dishonest.

They choose that time frame because it's most favorable to their preconceived conclusion.

It doesn't matter that their own policies aren't responsible for it.
