Can you afford to vote for Trump?

Nope. I can't afford to vote for an anti-democratic, incoherent, inept con man.

 

I would expect nothing less of you.

 

But somewhere an imaginary black welfare queen loses her Escalade. So their suffering will not be in vain.

I recall something like that played out in Kentucky a few years back. Kentucky being a state with yuge Medicaid and disability fraud issues. They tried to institute work requirements or tighten up the proof for disability. A bunch of country yokels revolted over losing their government handouts. So the Republicans tried to instead put in some arbitrary county level “population density” cutoff where the reforms targeted inner cities only, but kept the money flowing to their rural constituency. Not sure what the final outcome was, but just the efforts to basically gerrymander and segregate govt benefits show how unserious, if not outright evil, some of these clowns are.

 

Thanks. You are too kind.

 

They will just blame it on the dems in the '26 midterms

 

I wonder how they’ll react to getting rid of wage and hour protection? No more overtime pay

 

He could do a lot of things, which is what big government Don will do… he will tell them “hey, enjoy your predatory profit, but why don’t you reduce them a little and we all just play slap ass at the club latter about the tax break we embedded for you?”

 

I guess you slept though the first Trump presidency. More jobs created here in the U.S.A., maybe because of tariffs, and more people working with very low inflation means... good economy.

 

. Serious question, have you ever taken a collegiate level Econ class? Nobel Laureates in Economics have said that Trump’s policies would not only be inflationary but hyperinflationary. Probably gonna listen to them

 

Name the only President since Herbert Hoover to have fewer people employed at the end of his term than at the beginning.

 

I ran the numbers for my household based on the limited information available. 0-$168k @ 15%, $168k+ @ 30%. We are high earnings DINKs, and paid a little over $80k in federal tax last year. Depending on whether deductions would still be allowed (not specified), this change to tax brackets would increase our tax bill by $20k in the best case (using last year's AGI), or as much as $35k if we used total gross income. That's an OUCH!

That said, I don't see this happening...

 

Well.... what if you're reeeeeeally hungry? Or fat?

 

Not true. Even taking into consideration the huge job loss post COVID, which caused Trump to be the first POTUS since Hoover to leave office with less people working than when he started, Trump did not create more jobs than his predecessor.



The truth is, Trump inherited a mature economy. And despite Trump's efforts to fuel growth to reach his promised 5%, Trump's pre-COVID growth numbers were basically a mirror of Obama's 2nd term numbers.

The reality is today, it's a different world than it was in 2017. Trump also would no longer have many of the adults in the room he had his first term that might reign him in. Trump's cabinet would be filled with true believers and sycophants only.

The likely results are what the 15 Nobel Prize winning economists predicted. Tariffs are basically sales taxes that are inflationary, and regressive. And cutting the number of laborers in the economy when we already have 1.2% more open jobs than unemployed will also be inflationary.

Just because Trump had decent growth and low inflation his first term doesn't mean he has a magic wand that will reset the clock and conditions back to where they were in 2017.

 

No I will gladly take that $325K annual tax cut.

 

BS! FAKE NEWS...

 

Cite your sources that show different then, please. Because just yelling "FAKE NEWS" doesn't mean it is fake news. It just means you don't believe it. But as the saying goes, you are entitled to your own opinion. You aren't entitled to your own facts. And the facts all say Trump's growth rates were mirrors of Obama's 2nd term rates. I've yet to see anything that tells a different story.

So please, post something that shows something different.

 

FAKE NEWS... The whole world knows Trump's economy was far better than this inflated crap Biden has us suffering though.

 

PROVE IT! Show me figures, facts, numbers. Anything? Or, is all you have is your hot air?

 

Patience... It will be shown to you... proven to you come election day.
