working class stiff Loc: N. Carolina

Way to tell only half the story about Byrd. You could actually learn something from the former Senator.

He was a master Plantation Keeper, but I don't need to know that.

Sorry didn't go one step further for the research, just went to bing one more step would have told me, however you can not deny the rest.

Trump cannot rightfully take full-credit for an economy that was on a slight-upswing already happening when he took office, but naturally he'll take credit for it anyway.Not incidentally, the stock-market is not the real economy most of us live and work in. Meanwhile the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, but that's always "someone else's fault"...our permanent-warfare capitalistic dictatorship is the responsibility of both corporate-factions, and must be permanently opposed by working-classes and oppressed people everywhere, as well as that of any nimrod foolish enough to vote for them. Think outside the box! It's past time the people of this country took matters into their own hands, creating parallel systems that benefit their families and communities. The futility of conceding to inherently corrupt top-down rule gets us NOWHERE. We will never get the "right people in power" in a system where money IS power. Localisation, decentralization, open-access cooperation and resource-based economies are the future, if we can last that long....people say they want participatory-democracy, but they won't get it by playing by the rules set by people who don't abide by them....

proud republican Loc: RED CALIFORNIA

WRONG!!!!Economy booming IS because of President Trump..Unemployment is at 17 yrs low..Black unemployment is at all time low....Consumer confidence is UP.I think if Obama did all these things you people would praising him 24/7 on all channels!!1 Obama is a king!!!BS!!

J Anthony Loc: Connecticut

I don't care for Obama anymore than you do, but Trump walked in to an already, albeit slightly-improving economy...these marginal improvements didn't just begin the moment he became president...some rudimentary knowledge of how slowly legislation kicks-in might be in order...

proud republican Loc: RED CALIFORNIA

You guys never give him any credit!!!He could save a puppy from drowning and you would say that he just showing off!!! Unbelievable!!1

J Anthony Loc: Connecticut

Nope...if he saved a puppy from drowning I'd say, "Good for you buddy!"

emarine

Proud... what exactly did Trump personally do to help black unemployment?...

proud republican Loc: RED CALIFORNIA

Well i would hope so, but i have no confidence in your party.....

J Anthony Loc: Connecticut

"My party"? If you're referring to Democrats, then hell no they ain't my party...I saw through their charade long ago...

ldsuttonjr Loc: ShangriLa

j anthony: You're socialist handers have got you on the plantation of serfdom. Your democrat rulers take care of their friends and use law to prosecute their conservative enemies! "So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear. There is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system." -Milton Friedman-. You try to muddle it down with socialist restraints....you have just destroyed a free-market system with red tape and cronyism. Now on the other hand....for free-market capitalism to work it must be moderated....but not regulated. We can see what the growth of Federal Government has perpetrated on the free republic. Excessive taxes, lobbyist out of control, political agendas favoring whoever is controlling the federal government. The two-party system was always been feared by our founding fathers - it is now operating in the best interest of the political parties and not in the best interest of the American people. In my view
nothing has done so much to destroy the juridical safeguards of individual freedom as the striving after this continuous mirage of social justice and Tort corruption perpetrated by the left!!!!

i don't know where all your assumptions are coming from, but they're off the mark...real change won't be initiated via participation in our bifurcated corporate-politics,unless it is to challenge it directly, nor does any off-hand, meager support of it give it credibility...the question everyone here who gives a toss should be asking themselves is, can we do any good within a corrupt system with which we are complicit?

I know how Obama likes to pat himself on the back and I was surprised he didn't go through that last part of his presidency with his arm in a permanent sling, but old Barry's economic policies and any kind of a up swing in his stock-market swings were very minimal, for he had it nearly a immovable steady line there for years, but just like his admin there at the end it did take sharp jumps, like a heart monitor. This was hard to see how that could be when businesses were leaving the country about the same rate as the illegals he was letting in, most of the business were leaving their home states because of their illegals, just like the Toyota, Coca-Cola moved out of CA and Boing is thinking about it, all because of the illegals that interrupt and damage their operations.

As far as the big corporations the NWO is just another of the same, except they are more into taking everyone's money and using it all over the world. I know it might sound like a better way to help the world, but you can se from the things that Trump's s auditors have found that we were paying for much more then our share. You can tell from just looking at the UN where we were paying 1/3 of their seasonal operational income and out of a 193 countries we are the ones that pay for it all, or a third. The same thing went for every damn thing that the politicians weak hearted liberals allowed to happen, such as the Paris agreement we paid millions over what the other 195 countries that were in the counsel.

This is the kind of thing that politicians do to a nation, by thinking they can feed the world all at once, it's also how a country depletes their treasury at a rate where it can't keep up to the demand, so the taxes go up, just look at what Brown is doing to CA, just as Obama did to the US.
