Our economy was already good and is nearing a record length it has entered its ninth year and 10 years is the all time record Trump has only been along for the ride and jobs stil lcontinue to leave Hafley Davidson just annunced they are leaving I think for Tialand for production. Obama was ghitting IS with air strikes backng the Iraqi troops and Iranian Militis Trump just continued that policy Obama was hiting M uslim terrorist in secveral countries so Obama was not just twiddling his thumbs. IS was formed and created by the Sunni Iraqi army that the Bush administration fired turning the government over to the Shia majority and aligned with Iran and triggering a Sectarian war creating ISIS and de stabalizing the mid east. Thetime table for pull out from Iraq was negotiated by the Bush administration and the Iraqis would not agree to not try lour soldiers in Iraqi courts so Obama pulled according to Bush's time table/ Of course the right used it for and excuse to bash Obama needlessly but thats the way the right is and is one of the examples why after supporting them for over 30 yearsI left that party. If there had been no Bush Cheney there would have been no ISIS had rthere been no H. W. Bush there would be no al Qeada. Had Saudi Arabia handled the Iraq Kuwait deal and left American military stay hom there wuld be no al Qeada. Had Reagan not sicked Saddam Husein on to Iran one million's of Iranians and Iraqis would not have lost their lives and the Kurds would not have been gassed Hd Obama not increased troop level 30,000 many lives on both sides. Had Bush no kicked out the Taliban and replaced the government with the Northern Alliance there would not be an on going civil war in Afghanistan. The northern Alliance and Taliban flought a civil war after the Russians were defeated but Busg reveresed that outcome. If the US would quit sticking its nose in othrer peoples buainess and trying to boss the world around the world would be a more peaceful place and Europe would no be over run with refugees

Governor Moon Beam just submitted his last budget and it has a 8.9 billion surplus. When he was elected in 2010 he inherited a $27 bill deficit and the new budget puts billions in into savings for the inevitable down turn. The economy is nearing an all time record for length but Newton's laws of motion says what goes up comes down. Moon beam was first elected in 1975 for two terms and again in 2010 and we gave him a supper majority to end the grid lock and partisan fighting It has been a huge relief. The $3.50 to $4.00 means we have the money to repair our roads maintain our bridges no bridge collapses in California are gonna happen

The air in California is vastly cleaner with 40 million population than it was in the 1940's with 7-8 million population but Trump has issues an EO overturning our auto emissions. We were on track to be fossil fuel free by 2050 but Trump has a reason to fight for higher oil prices and yell that global warming is a Chinese hoax. Given the fact that because of the Russia investigation he has been politically unable to overturn the economic sanctions to full fill his part of the deal with Russia he can do the next best thing Pull out of the Paris accord , pull out of the Iran deal and foment rutmoil in the mid east and drive up the price of oil and give Putin a big gift If he can over turn the sanctions which has been killing Russian economy. Putin, and the bog Russian oil company Rosneft and ExxonMobile wil lbe back in business and with higher oil prices it could mean a billion dollars or more in Trumps pocket

Moonbeam needs to return that surplus to the over taxed citizens before his Democrat buddies spend it. He also needs to acknowledge the $ unfunded pension bills.

I provided the name of the writer who wrote the article and it jibes with my assement of the situation ever since our Intelligence reported Russian intervention in our election. I annalyised that news extensivily and realized that since I knew that Trumps life time ambitio nis to make it to the top of Forbes 400 billionaires that there had to be some pontential big monney in it for himself
and I Knew the Economic sanctions Obama slapped on Russia over their annexation of Crimea and arming the east Ukrain rebles and the low oil prices was killing the Russian economy. So I determined that the since Hillary Clinton would have continued Obamas policy toward Russia and since Trunp has done business with Russia since the mid 90's there had to be a deal. " We help you get elected and you overturn the sanctions and our friend ExxonMobile and our big Russian oil company can drill in the Caspian basin the Kara sea, and the Barents Sea. Exxon will be looking vat a trillion dollars in profit and rosneft wil lenjoy similar profit so kill renewables boost fossil fuel and theyt could flip Trump wo maybe three billion and thats a what he lkes

Mexico and the other latin American countries are capitalist countries, My Mexican employees all paid taxes and payroll taxes into FICA

We need that money to help get the state through the next recession The tax payers don't need it the people of California needs it. In the 2008 collapse Firemen police had to be laid off. Prosecuters of criminals couldn't get paid. civilization suffered. Buy the time Moon beams time is over we will have around 15 billion I the bank not to be spent except with the onset of another recession

In case you do not know it, California has a very slight problem in unfunded pension liabilities. Maybe before the Communists and Socialists and Crony Capitalists and the public sector unions who run the most taxpayer hostile State of the 57 States, start patting themselves on the back for this phantom $ 15 Billion temporary on paper surplus, they should take a smidgeon of that drop in the bucket and begin paying down their $ 1 Trillion in unfunded pension liabilities.

Yea like Gov. Moonbeam and his Merry Band of Marxists are going to do that. Maybe they should begin trimming the blubber from the State Government so that those unfunded PENSION LIABILITIES stop ballooning.

I forgot something obvious. " The tax payers don't need it the people of California needs it. "

That statement needs to be cut into stone. A buddy of mine had a brain dead girl friend who knew nothing of money. When he complained that she should get a job and pay her half of the bills, without batting an eye she said " give me half of your money and I will pay half of the bills. " Your statement is right up there with her statement in the hall of fame of the absurd.

With all the things a Savvy Businessman is doing to restore and build the economy, I don't believe higher fuel prices are going to kill it back to Obama levels, but probably will cause some inflation ----- By saying "Putin doesn't give a rats ass about the American people" do you mean that in his mind he puts the people of his own country 1st ? (as he should) Or something more nefarious than that? You say we have been trying to break Russia for years, but we have already done that and they came back quite a different country. They have even done the Uncommunistic thing of allowing freedom of religion and Putin himself now proclaims to be a Christian. I see no reason why we should not be cooperative and friends with each other just because we are competitors. Other than to stand up for what is right and our values if they are threatened, I see no reason that we should be doing things to try and harm Russia. But of course that's what the globalist want, because that serves their agenda to force us into a one world government through chaos. Did you know that the UN's model is "Order Out Of Chaos" ???

Both Trump and Putin are against globalism because they want to retain the sovereignty of their own countries. That is a powerful reason for cooperation, while I see no reason, both in our country and in the world, to be trying to harm each other. It is no longer so much Right Vrs.Left as it is Globalist Vrs.

I'm know every thing about California and the Orange County Register is a right wing publication in one of the most right wing areas of the state And I'm quite aware of the unfunded pension plans and the problem is being worked on I'm quite confident the problem will ultimately b solved. Califonia has dealt with worse problems than that and solved them. The Levies in the Delta built with chinese labor in the 19th century needs up grading and Moon Beam provided 100 million fo that purpose in his last budget of his administation

Putin a Christian?? He is a murderer who shoots, poisons, kills Journalists and opposition leaders just like a mob boss Christians dont do things like that. Putin hates Democracy he is an authoritrian as is Trump. He has been underming the democracies in Europe as well as NATO He annexed Crimea and armed the Rebels in Eastern Ukraine triggering economic sanctions for hs meddling and more from meddling in our election with millions spent on ads on social web sites for bashing of one candidate that would benefit him and the Russian People and positive ads for the guy that would get rid of the sanctions

Would you like to share with the class the specifics ?

I never said that he was perfect nor even good, just an improvement over what he used to be. (And he has made his country much freer and less totalitarian that it used to be) Pretty much, only in Western civilization and especially in America have we had a history of upholding Christian values. All the things you described are the norm for non-Western countries. It is you lefties who are trying to bring us down to their level. When Obama 1st took office their state newspaper 'Provda' compared Obama's immersing us into Marxism to the breaking of a great damn and us falling into it without so much as a whimper as we beat our chest, declaring how free we are. They warned us to not go that route because it leads to bloody revolution. They Know. --- and I have been to Russia and the Russian people do Not hold up Lenin and Stalin as some kind of heroes because they understand the mass murderer of their own people that he was. But people in the revolution don't understand that until they see all their noble platitudes being thrown right out the window and get a big old kick in their big fat rumps.

------ And you fail to understand that culture and the way people think evolves and changes by the left has resulted in the taking over all the institutions and implements of change like the educational system, the news outlets and the entertainment industry. These things with the all pervasive Marxist propaganda will continue to influence us to hate the one thing that could save us, Christianity, & its value system, thinking of it is intolerant and bigoted. When the change to hateful intolerant Marxist thinking has become great enough and the one world government is coming to fruition, the Globalists will come up with a motto something like "Come Together In Love, Peace & Unity". And those who understand and are aligned with truth will refuse the requirement of denying Jesus Christ and aligning themselves with the new globalist government and its Luciferian religion and will therefor be guaranteed execution. And the people like you will just think "Well, those crazy suicidal Christian fanatics who are trying to rain on the parade for our wonderful leftist utopia that will end wars and be free of those pesky Christian values, damn well deserve what they get if they don't want to be a part of it. That's what it's going to come to, in time, whether you believe it or not. Because that's the way Marxist thinking in the evolution of change works and it's been predicted thousands of years ago by many different authors in the greatest book of wisdom ever known man.

There is a reason that Lenin and Stalin coined the term 'Useful Idiots' for their helpers, like you, in the cultural change that led to revolution.
