    It does. What is your point?

    What was your biggest problem of the 2009-2016 economy, specifically? The GDP growth? Capital market growth? Low inflation rates? Consistent labor market growth?

    During Obama's term the economy recovered from the financial crisis, Obama lowered the federal deficit by nearly 50%, and the unemployment rate was reduced from 7.8% to 4.7%. Not too bad. Certainly not "8 years of recession", lol.

    Trump got into office and immediately started raising deficit spending. That's why he's the largest deficit spending President per annum in United States history.

    Do you actually pay attention to any of these actual facts, or just repeat what some spray tanned clown tells you to believe?

    My point is that California is a fiscal mess despite their GDP. Correct?

    By the way, do you three favor a capitalist or socialist society/economy?

    Are you trying to voice your approval for California's fiscal situation? After all you are a staunch supporter of the largest deficit spending president per annum in US history!! :)

    Yeah, sure. Deficit spending Don is a total capitalist, while everyone else is just a socialist. Yawn.


    By the way, let's look at the massive socialist spending package signed by Trump, your deficit-spending socialist;

    2020: The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act cost $2.2 trillion, making the CARES Act the most extensive financial rescue package in U.S. history.

    My God, the socialism from the guy you seem to really really love is insane!! :)

    No, not really.

    I favor a mixed economy, like every economy in reality. I tend to lean towards markets in most markets, even the ones you likely don't.

    And you haven't answered my question. Do you prefer a capitalist free market, or a socialist dictated economy?

    If we base what we like on who we VOTE FOR;

    YOU support a socialist. Just like you support massive deficit spending.

    Why? Why do you support socialism

    Why do you want someone ELSE to pay your bills? Isn't that about the same as collecting welfare?

    The meaning of that word "no" as elusive to you as are basic economic principles, chief? [see post #47, chief]

    Just do us all a favor and please stop voting for deficit spending socialists, yeah?

    KTHXBAI!

    Touchy question, eh? You prentended to represent capitalism in order to tear down Trump. Now you seem to be abandoning those same principles by not answering my question.

    You're like a Johnny Cab in Total Recall going on about "answering your question." It's not my fault you aren't processing the answer you were given in post #47. Chief.

    But look, chief; you voted for the biggest per annum deficit spending president in US history!

    You voted for the guy who signed the largest (socialist?) federal bailout in US history!


    The only time you should be calling anyone a socialist is when you're in front of a mirror. Chief.

    You can't do it. None of you three can. Yet, all three of you based your arguments against Trump on sound Capitalist principle.

    You don't seem to understand basic economics or fiscal policy well enough to be in this discussion, chief. Hence all the weird non sequiturs.

    But please do us all a favor and next time around don't vote for the biggest socialist, deficit spender in US history.
