https://www.factcheck.org/2019/10/trumps-numbers-october-2019-update/: Labor Force Participation — Despite the abundance of jobs, the labor force participation rate — which went down 2.8 percentage points during the Obama years — is up slightly under Trump. The labor force participation rate is the portion of the entire civilian population age 16 and older that is either employed or currently looking for work in the last four weeks. Republicans often criticized Obama for the decline during his time, even though it was due mostly to the post-World War II baby boomers reaching retirement age, and other demographic factors beyond the control of any president. Since Trump took office, the rate has fluctuated in a narrow range between 63.2% and 62.7%. It was at the high end of that range in September — 0.3 percentage points above where it was the month Trump took office. Summary Since President Donald Trump took office: The economy added 6 million jobs, and the unemployment rate dropped to the lowest level in nearly 50 years. Economic growth fell far short of the annual 4% to 6% Trump promised. The most recent rate is 2.0%. The federal debt went up more than $2.4 trillion. The annual deficit hit nearly $1 trillion in fiscal year 2019 – the highest since 2012. Median household income rose 2.3%. Average weekly paychecks rose 2.8%. The poverty rate and food stamp rolls declined. Stock prices rose: The S&P 500 index was up 29.8%. Single-family home prices rose nearly 23%, hitting a record level in June. The trade deficit — which Trump promised to reduce — went up 30%. The number of Americans lacking health insurance rose nearly 2 million. The number of murders dropped 6.9%. But the number of rapes went up. Illegal border crossings nearly doubled, as of the most recent 12 months on record. Trump has filled 43 seats on federal appeals courts, compared with 25 filled by Obama at the same point in his first term.

Ok what is in that koolaid you are drinking. HERE YOU GO BUY HERE'S A SHINY NICKEL. “It’s the legacy of slavery that turned the tip in the United States from a bonus or extra on top of a wage,” Jayaraman argues, “to a wage itself.” https://time.com/5404475/history-tipping-american-restaurants-civil-war/ https://time.com/5404475/history-tipping-american-restaurants-civil-war/ "Tipping started in our country right after the Civil War," Meyer said. "The restaurant industry as well as the Pullman train car industry successfully petitioned the United States government to make a dispensation for our industries that we would not pay our servers, but it wasn't considered slavery because we would ask our customers to pay tips. And therefore no one could say they that were being enslaved. "And, no surprise, but most of the people who were working in service professional jobs and restaurants and in Pullman train cars were African-American," Meyer continued. "That's the history of how it started in this country. You don't see it Asia. You don't see it primarily in most European countries. But that's what it was, and it created a completely false economy." https://www.businessinsider.com/tipping-is-a-hoax-born-out-of-slavery-danny-meyer-says-2017-1

Bull crap. People who ridicule others usually fear being ridiculed so they do it first...or they have unresolved issues about themselves for smoking cigars.

and using that logic..... hetro-sexuals are bigoted and imbecilic....well except for Justin Trudeau. He was born that way.

Climate and/or weather change have been proven using objective methodology to be both a natural occurrence and also impacted by human activity. Not all desertification was caused naturally and desertification is but one of many examples of human behaviour that can impact on the climate. Methane gas comes naturally from any rotting vegetation and animal life but other gases causing global warning can come from specific gas emissions. Why people still debate this is beyond me. Its like pretending there is no co-relation between smoking and cancer or dangerous driving and dying or the co-relation between inbreeding and the iq's of certain monarchs.

No not nonsense. The fact you disagree does not make it nonsense. In fact the only nonsense is you thinking China's economy is faultering because of new American tarrifs. Its deterioration might be aggravated by tarrifs but was not cused by tarrifs. Your cult worship of Trump blinds you to the possibility that phenomena incur in spite of Trump existing. https://www.npr.org/2019/07/15/741735791/chinas-economy-falters-slowest-growth-in-nearly-3-decades https://www.wsj.com/articles/chinas-power-to-boost-global-economy-is-fading-11564738205 https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/08/chinas-current-gdp-growth-is-likely-less-than-6-percent-economist.html https://www.aei.org/articles/the-chinese-economic-miracle-how-much-is-real-how-much-is-a-mirage/ https://www.bbc.com/news/business-49791721 -
No what happened was the tax cuts did not produce the revenue he claimed so tax increases had to be instituted to generate revenue. source:https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2017/12/08/what-we-learned-from-reagans-tax-cuts/ "As projections for the deficit worsened, it became clear that the 1981 tax cut was too big. So with Reagan’s signature, Congress undid a good chunk of the 1981 tax cut by raising taxes a lot in 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1987. George H.W. Bush signed another tax increase in 1990 and Bill Clinton did the same in 1993. One lesson from that history: When tax cuts are really too big to be sustainable, they’re often followed by tax increases."

Here is the Trump record. This is I would suggest why she ripped up his partisan speech. I would also suggest while she was petulant for ripping up his speech he was equally a jack ass for refusing to shake her hand - his ignorance and boorish behaviour has led to the highly partisan behaviour seen. It doesn't make it right but pretending it happens in a vacuum is bullshit. Trump farts, Pelosi waves her hands. She may wave them with a tad too much enthusiasm. Perhaps she should have brought a portable fan and placed it in his direction. The stink: · in 2019, the gap between the richest and poorest households in the United States reached its highest point in more than 50 years · the no. of Americans without health insurance continues to increase · the ave. household debt is now in excess of $14 trillion · the most recent employment report reported wages increased by just 2.9 percent in 2019 with the US inflation at 2.1 % for the same period · Trump’s 2017 tax cut never created the $4,000 pay raise Trump GUARANTEED would happen after the tax cuts · the tax cut resulted in 91 co’s on the Fortune 500 playing NO federal taxes and the US’s 6 largest banks saving $32 billion in 2019 but the banks still layed off 1,000 employees · Trump promised the tax cut would produce 4-6% economic growth in 2019 but in fact in the 4th quarter of 2019 the gdp growth rate was 2.1% which was lower than BOTH the tax rate before the tax cut and LOWER than the average gdp increase in Obama’s second term (which was 2.4%) · since the tax cuts annual budget deficits under Trump are now at a trillion dollars · Trump has indicated he will make cuts to Social Security and Medicare · In almost every speech Trump champions himself a champion of made in America jobs growing and in particular construction, manufacturing, and mining however job growth in these sectors was only growing at 0.8 percent in 2019 compared to 2 percent in Obama’s final term · Trumps’ decision to engage in a trade war with China and other foreign economies triggered a recession in the manufacturing sector in 2019 crippling the economies of Wisconsin and Michigan and in particular his approach to negotiating with China created reactions to stop buying agricultural products from the US triggering a 24% increase in farm bankruptcies last year, with the most coming from Wisconsin · the Congressional Budget Office has stated that Trump’s trade policies will cost American households an average of $1,277 this year · layoffs of employees is the highest number now under Trump than in the last 4 years · Trump has NOT invested in education and instead feels stock buybacks are their priority God bless Donald Trump.

Hey now. Trump's current tax and fiscal policies have increased the deficit to 1 trillion annually and the US continues to be one of the most indebted nations in the world saddled with interest on the deficit which has in fact bankrupt the nation. But wait, Trump is the saviour. The US economy has never been better I mean com eon the unemployment rate has dropped. The fact is its producing less jobs then it did under the last two years of the commie bastard Obama's reign. Go look. In Obama's 2nd term an average of 217,000 jobs per month were created. Under Trump its averaged 185,000 per month a difference of 384,000 jobs a year or 3 million jobs in 8 years. Under that communist sob Obama the average GDP growth per year was 2.2%. Under King Donald the One and Only, its the same give or take a .1% difference in favour for Trump for one year of his term. What Trump cultists won't discuss is that Trump passed a law ending low interest rates and this means in the next 4 year term car, home. student loans, credit cards, business loans all will rise costing the average American and causing them to become poorer wiping out any gains he claims he has given them in tax cuts. Why do Trump cultists not tell you since 2017 under King Donald, gas prices have risen 30% after all that bragging about how the US now controls its own destiny in gas prices by Trump by increasing its production to all time highs which he said would lower gas prices. Let's look at another statistic Trump cultists do not care about. The US has always been a nation where if you could not afford private health insurance you could and would die of illnesses people with such insurance could get and not die from. However the rate of Americans without medical insurance dropped from 18.0 per cent in 2013 to 10.9 percent in 2016 because of government initiatives under Obama. Since medical insurance is considered communism in the US you bet Trump called it dirty communism and now the uninsured rate went back up to 12.2% by the end of 2017, or another 3-4 million people without medical insurance. Anyone under the remaining ACA government medical program will now be faced with very large premium rates meaning many more are going to become uninsured but remember now when you are a Trump supporter people without medical coverage are not a concern. Its not a priority. There is no thought as to what happens when people are sick and have no medical coverage and how that leads to a ripple effect of increase in crime and bankrupt hospitals. Oh but Trump supporters tell you Trump is the best US President ever for the economy. You heard him in his state of the union Uh yah. This is whyt after all his tax cuts were given to corporations and high income earners there have been no gains to the Dow Jones index in his first term in office. Then again you see Trump cultists drink Reagonomics koolaid. They believe tax cuts generates economic growth. Reality is not something Trump cultists like to deal with. Under the Reagan 8 year term he made massive tax cuts and when this did not generate economic growth proving the trickle down effect was absolute bull shit, Reagan then ushered in the largest tax increase in US history. Lol but when you listen to Trumpies, Ronald Reagan was an economic guru and Trump is carrying out his legacy. Bull shit. Look at the net effect on Americans. Trump's tax cuts do not benefit the average American. They are and have always been designed to allow an elite network to accumulate more wealth while the average American grows poorer faced with ever increasing debts. Trump boasts about his new trade deal. Bull shit. He had nothing to do with it and what it does, is assure certain uncompetitive economic activities are protected in the US forcing Americans to buy more expensive American aluminum, steel and other products rather than engage in true free trade and access cheaper but just as good if not better products from Canada. Hey you know Trump believes in free enterprise....or does he. He believes in controlled market prices for American businesses costing Americans more costs and the trickle down is not going to wages. Wages are down, gas prices and interest rates up. In fact his trade tarrifs prevent true free competitive trade with Canada and enable US companies to charge Americans more and not allow them to have a choice in what they buy. He's used free trade to impose uncompetitive higher consumer costs on his beloved Americans. Now then the cultists on this board buy into his hype. I mean come on he has his own jet and he has an empire and when he gets off his jet the song "money money money" magically comes out from the heavens above. Well actually no. He comes off Air Foce 1 and gets lost walking buy his limo. God bless Trump. 4 more years.

Not to go off topic but China's economy is a pyramid structure based on cheap labour and counterfeit copying. Its hit its peak and is now shrinking. Its not the powerhouse everyone thinks it is. It looks more powerful than it is because of its size and amount of debt owed it on trade. The problem is it can not collect its account receivables and it can't keep growing as it did. Its a deck of cards about to collapse and when it does there will be another revolution and an extreme Stalinist dictatorship but a kibosh to many of the businesses that now run and are hiding revenues from the government in overseas bank accounts. China is an implosion waiting to happen. Its stock market is as frail as it gets. Its headed the way the Soviet Union went. -
Reagan ushered in a very large tax cut and it never generated the revenue he claimed it would and then ushered in the largest tax increase in US history. Tax cut gurus forget this. On the other hand tax increases are a dangerous thing because they can cause businesses to leave for other jurisdictions with lower targets. So trying to figure out how much tax you can charge before you make your businesses uncompetitive or cause people to stop spending and trigger a recession either way is a tough one. The crucial element is not wasting the money you do take in with tax revenue. When you have governments like Trudeau's or Wynne's that engage in spending many more times then what they take in you create deficits and the interest on the deficits means generations after people are paying taxes for a snow-balling interest rate without ever touching the principal balance of debt causing governments to want more taxes. The key is getting rid of as much government as is possible and still be able to operate. What we do not do in Canada and have never done with sufficient attention is have provinces and federal governments when they have overlapping services work out arrangements where one of the two levels services both. We have far two many provincial and governments not only being redundant but operating in conflict adding to expenses. Politicians only care about their next election or two. So they do not think long term. Government officials, i.e., the permanent bureaucrats are not spending their own money, thus they don't have that direct vested interest in not wasting money. They can also obtain any bonuses not by actually cutting redundant management but simply cutting essential front line services leaving the bloated and useless levels of management that waste the money in place. Furthermore bureaucrats build empires they try make their units as large as possible and at the end of the fiscal year if they have not spent all their money, they then rush out and waste it for fear their savings will lead to cuts in their budget the next year. The solution? Shoot everyone.

Vik it might be easier to scrap it all together and start again. Its got so much rot and corruption as it is it would be a monumental task to try renovate it. Just the vermin in the building alone would not be easy to get rid of unless you blew the whole damn thing up. Those vermin are much more resistant to pesticide then rats or roaches.

Many Brits were concerned about their country's lack of control over immigration. That was most say the primary factor for their wanting out. How much of that fear was based on the same kind of ideology you spout is another story. Also the concerns I stated are view points of someone directly impacted by the Brexit. He is entitled to his opinions which are not based on defining people as you do by whether they fit your preconceived notions of what a white Christian should be.
-
I think you are kind calling his ideology nationalist. Its not. His concept as explained on this forum excludes anyone from nationality who is not defined by him as his version of what a white Christian should be. Its got nothing to do with nationality. Its just an exclusive bigoted category he places himself in and likes to exclude others from. I appreciated your perspective. You are directly impacted so I prefer to hear from people like you for that reason. Thank you.

Bottom line is Trump is laughing and Nancy ripped up his state of the union address. Trump's decision to lower the state of the union address to a hokey partisan speech as well as her ripping up the speech response both turned it into a circus. Buck up Nancy, he could still choke on a KFC leg. -
