Economist Magazine said if Trump wins e******n(2016) the markets will tank. Krugman, a so called economist said Trumps policy’s would tank the economy.

The t***h:
1). Unemployment at a 50 year low.
2). Wages up, first time in over a decade
3). Wages up over 3%
4). Low income and minorities benefiting the most. (Wall Street Journal)
5). Economy growing at better than 3%
6). People without high school diplomas actually greatest percentage finding a job

*We now have less taxes, more employment, less regulation, and more energy. These are the facts. Spin it however you want but facts are facts.

However, the National Debt has increased by over $2Trillion in two years, Budget Deficits are at record highs and the Balance of trade with foreign countries is also at record highs. If the deficits continue we will be paying more in interest on the National Debt than we presently pay for defense.

Didn’t bother you when the debt doubled under Obama, did it? Debt will sink us eventually. That is on all of Washington. None of these rats want to cut a dime because they know to fix the mess will cause some pain. Pain doesn’t get them v**es. It’s called kick the can down the road. I was both for and against the Trump tax cuts. For, because I want any and all Americans to keep more of their money. Against, because they should of included proportional spending cuts.

Here is one of the solutions to our national debts.
The greatest balance of trade deficit is with China. China dumps it cheap products to the US market, with less quality built by child labor.
We have to impose tariff of 25% to control US trade deficits with China.
Here are the effects that could happen.
*The 25% tariff paid to Chinese imports will be collected by the US Treasury. That will be in billions of dollars.
*US consumers will have to pay the 25% higher price of Chinese imports.
*China exports to the US will then reduce.
*US factories in China come home, return to the US, due to reduction of sales if they continue producing in China. Not sustainable.
*US will gain more factories and employment. While in the US, the companies pay its taxes to the US instead of China. Employees hired also pays taxes.
*US consumers though paying higher price but of better quality products made locally by our own companies.
*I think intellectual property thievery by China could be minimized.
* We will have more revenue collected in addition to the tariff. We could balance our budget.
*When the budget is balanced, there is no need to barrow, thus maintaining same level of our national debts.

I would think getting people back to work would be a priority, since while the deficit is the government's doing, the average American needs to have a job and a decent income, and President Trump has made that a priority, achieving a spectacular degree of success. The more private sector job openings are created and filled, the less social services and food stamps the taxpayer is subsidizing while that many more people are paying taxes into the Treasury.

I hardly think the president is done yet. So far he hasn't disappointed, as he eventually gets around to working at fulfilling every promise he made during his campaign.

He also knows that if he shows all his cards too early, the Democrats will do wh**ever they can to sabotage him. It's almost like a chess game, and President Trump's proven to be a hell of a better chess player than all the Democrats in Congress and the mainstream media combined.

But seriously, put yourself in the place of someone with a family to support and a mortgage who's been unemployed for a really long time and is h*****g on by a thread, credit stretched to the max, savings gone, only a few steps away from heading up a homeless family. The kind of horror and despair that has to go with that.

What would be your priority, seeing the deficit decreased or finding a job?

Yeah, I know. The Democratic Party doesn't care, they have more important things to worry about, like getting rid of President Trump and reimplementing the now defunct executive orders that put you out of work to begin with.

Trump said he would address the deficit, and he still has 5 1/2 years in which to do it.

Sometimes instant gratification has to be preempted for reasons of humanity. The GOP and Trump genuinely pursue the humane, the Democratic Party only pretends to give a 🐀's derriere when they need to display their false virtue in order to honey-coat one or another of their dishonest and generally sinister "fundamental t***sformations" of America.

President Trump's performance has thus far exceeded, profoundly, any of his predecessors in my (over 6 decades) lifetime and I have nothing but faith in his ability to continue to keep America great . 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😁.

Despite of all the barriers set before him by the Socialist Radical DEMS, and the relentless assaults and harassments of the Deep State of Obama,
the president has ignited historic economic boom. President Trump’s pro-growth policies are unleashing economic growth and providing opportunities to workers across the country.

Fact of the matter is, president Trump has prioritized all the promises he'd accomplished according to the magnitude of importance.
A. Unemployment of 3.6% has its lowest since 59 years ago.
1. He lowered unemployment for all. Most especially for the back Americans, Hispanics, and women.
2. He also increased the income to at least 3% since few years ago.
3. He lowered corporate taxes to 25% which is the generator of employment increase.
4. He lowered IRS tax for the low income, and zero for certain low-income level.
5. Increase employment in the US for 4.7 million jobs for 2 years.
6. President Trump increased manufacturing jobs for 471,000 for 2 year-period.
7. Inflation is low; therefore, interest rate is low.
8. Most of the 46 million Obama's food stamp users are now working and paying taxes.
9. Stock market has reached its highest peak to now 27,335., from 19,000 2.5 years ago.

These are the facts? let's see your link(s) to see if these are actually the facts. I ask because we would have been at full employment no matter who won the e******n or are you forgetting that under Trump we have only knocked one percentage point off of unemployment. As for growth, we are pumping in a trillion a year in new debt (5%) of GDP and you are boasting that we have a 3% growth rate for one quarter? Are you kidding??

As for more energy--we had more energy under Obama and George Bush too. Our oil output has been going up ever since we started fracking. You aren't citing a new statistic

You've taken a bunch of bulls**t talking points and then claimed success--after only 2 years--all without showing that Trump's policies are the reason for the result...or whether the result is worth the price in new debt that will never be repaid. Nice job!!!

Oh, and one thing you left off your list of miracles is that this is the longest expansion in the history of our country. Did Trump's policies accomplish that? Not a chance in the world.

And we have an all time record breaking deficit and an alarmingly ballooning national debt. What could possibly go wrong?

TrueAmerican

Well let's see if he, president Trump continues at 1 trillion per yr that'll be 8 trillion in 8 yrs --- obammie doubled the national debt in 8 yrs by adding 10 trillion with weak growth and poor job increases and absolutely no wage increases. And president Trump has almost six more yrs to work on reducing the national debt. Care to guess which president I would support? TRUMP?PENCE 2020 KEEP MAKING AMERICA GREAT !!!!!!

Them are some real stubborn facts, but they'll find a way.

We have had all time record breaking deficits for a long time. Obama doubled the deficit. Remember? It will all go wrong since there is no willpower in Washington to make the hard choices.

The difference troll is the size of the expansion. Obama inherited a crash. Where was the economy going to go, especially when you have billions being pumped into it from the Fed. All while interest rates were kept artificially low. Yet your God, Obama's administration could never reach 3% groth per annum in eight years. Most sluggish recovery since the great depression. Told you why I didn't like the tax cuts also, didn't I? Now you're worried about debt. Not because you really care but because Trump's president. You are such a hypocrite. Why weren't you upset when the debt doubled under Obama? Look I get you don't know much about economics but the faux outrage all the time gets old.
