who has said he "destroyed" the economy. I will say that IMO the tax cut was poorly times. I don't get immature use of tariffs. But I am not sure where you got the quote that he destroyed the economy from anyone here.
Not saying you but many on this board stated he would destroy the economy.
and he may in the end. I don't like the tax cut in the heat of a growing economy. I don't like his proposed massive deficits during robust times. (both generally are used to stimulate a weak economy and he is employing them during healthy times) I am completely baffled by his use of tariffs. At some point we are going to need cheap, unskilled labor to ease our housing shortage. But the economy is chugging along.....
As I just wrote, his fiscal policies seem to be running opposite of sound economic policy. As of yet, we aren't seeing any negative impact and we may not.
Just to demonstrate how bad your contribution was, lets go back and compare what Republican Bush did vs Dem Obama with the economy.......... Again bad post.
Why not compare facts. Economy has added 3 million plus jobs since Trump became president. Nothing you say matter you hopeless hate mongering doofus.
Congress with all the mandatory bad loan guarantees in housing caused the economy to tank.
Too many people borrowing way too much to buy homes they couldn't afford. It's pretty damn simple.
When it's the truth, it's the truth. Congress started the mess with it's everybody should won a house. Not everybody can afford it. People that ignore what really happened are just plain blind.
If bad (phaggy emoji) = tough facts that Trump hating idiots hate.....
Then I agree.
A verification that there are a very large number of uninformed idiots in this world, including on this board. A really sad state of affairs in this Country Great reason to continue limiting their access to political power and leadership.
