Quote:Trump had a virus show up unexpectedly and impact the entire economy that required massive spending to keep industries, companies and working people afloat while the country was dealing/adjusting to all the work related restrictions and government imposed shutdowns.
But,again, I thought we wanted a capitalism that was True Capitalism? A capitalism that didn't pick winners and losers? If they couldn't foresee a pandemic they have only themselves to blame.
Quote:Oh, he also lowered the corporate tax rate to reverse the outward trend in manufacturing and initiate new growth in manufacturing.
This never substnatially.materialized.
Quote:He also lowered the individual tax rate and increased deductions and added tax credits to help the working class who had been struggling to stay above water for several years keep more of the money they earned in the own pockets/bank accounts as well.
Those tax cuts are due to expire in three years
The corporate tax cuts, however, were made permanent.
Quote:Obama inherited a stabilized economy from the previous administration that he didn't do much of anything to improve or initiate growth to replenish job losses.
Obama was a piece of shit, the drone king, but this is a remarkable way to describe the economy in October 2008, which entered the deepest recession in 70 years and saw the loss of 17% of the economy (and which had been tending towards recessionary conditions since 2005).
Quote:He also a costly war in Iraq that he wanted to get out of as soon as possible
Did you just say Obama initiated the War in Iraq? Again, to be sure, he armed ISIS and contributed to the ckusterfick there, but Bush started it with a deliberate lie.
Obama initiated the cult of Quantitative Easing - paying banks to receive and hold printer money. Trump not only didn't reverse this, he continued doling out money.
Quote:he pretty much milked out a couple of terms without anything else major occurring here while in office. I'd say the difference in the amount of spending between them is pretty obvious.
Trump was on track to spend more than Obama before the pandemic (and the economy was pre-recessionary in 2019).
Quote:The people own whatever personal goods that are made available to the public under Communism. But, the people don't own anything of major value like homes or land or business's or previous metals or boats or cars or precious heirlooms or precious art and so forth.
The people control everything under Communism. Society becomes the direct administrator of its products, and the individual receives from it no less than what he puts into it.
Think about the cognitive dissonance you have. You think that I and the liberals on this forum are the same thing, but that I want what they want, just more. (You think Biden is in league with people like me, too, which is ridiculous.) Meanwhile, you think Trump - who campaigned as a trade protectionist and an economic nationalist - really just wants freedom.
