Trump/Repocons in Fantasyland!

[Truman62]

Even Cruz was spouting this BS, as do many of the people/trolls on this board...

Republicans argue that if we just cut taxes on the wealthy and reduce regulations
on corporations, then the economy will explode in a supernova of prosperity for all.
You can call this belief ahistorical, or unsupported by facts, or baseless or implausible,
but if you want to be frank you’d have to say that it’s absolutely lunatic.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2016/04/28/trump-and-clinton-are-telling-two-radically-different-stories-about-the-economy-only-one-is-based-in-reality/


Here’s Donald Trump’s economic story:

The economy is an absolute nightmare. Americans are living in such misery that
they’re practically eating their own shoes in order to survive. If we cut taxes on the
wealthy, reduce regulations on corporations, renegotiate trade agreements, and
deport all illegal immigrants, then our economy will be spectacular and working
people will experience American greatness again.

(yeah, riiiiiiiiiight)


And here’s Hillary Clinton’s economic story:


The economy is doing pretty well, and a lot better than it was eight years ago when
the Republicans were in charge, but it could be even better. If we pass some worker-
focused measures like increasing the minimum wage, stronger overtime protections
and guaranteeing equal pay, and make infrastructure investments, then our economy
will improve for everyone.

Finally, someone sane.

This is nothing more than a Communist hit piece.

Republicans argue that if we just cut taxes on (those who pay taxes) and reduce regulations on corporations, then the economy will explode in a supernova of prosperity for all.

Indeed.  Absolutely correct.  History has born that out time and time again.

[Truman62]

When did that ever happen Dan.  Show me a time in history.

When did prosperity explode after tax cuts and regulation relaxation?
Be specific please, which shouldn't be too hard, since you seem to know.

And Boz, why are you attacking the messenger, instead of discussing the
message and pointing out its possible problems with reasoned arguments
and websites for proof?

[gwboolean]

Indeed.  Absolutely correct.  History has born that out time and time again.

What history is that Dan?  We have done that here in America on 3 different occasions since 1980 and every single time the economy went into the shitter and millions of jobs were outsourced overseas.  Could you perhaps provide us with an example of when that occurred Dan?

[Truman62]

Still waiting Dan...

[Truman62]

LOL Dan is all hat and no cattle...

[Dan]

It has happened every single time.  Look it up.  I ain't your damn secretary.  This isn't remedial history.  Take some responsibility and do some research l.  You're obviously not going to take my word for it.

[Truman62]

I did research and have never found an instance yet where prosperity has gone crazy good after a tax cut.

I was wondering why you did, and what was your example you were referring to.

Obviously you have nothing in mind, because there isn't one.

davik,
you can bookmark this and it will be without a doubt 100% accurate. Elect the Clinton Crime Family and the poor will be as poor or poorer than they are on January 20th 2017, the National Debt will be north of $30 trillion, U6 unemployment will be north of 13%, the Soviets will have invaded the Ukraine, the EU will have dissolved and ISIS will have conquered most of the Middle East.

[Dan]

Davik, why don't you think the economy boomed in the 1980's?

Or did you lie about doing research?

[Truman62]

All that debt that Reagan racked up.

Spend money and it stimulates the economy.

Had NOTHING to do with his tax cuts, because he raised taxes too.
