Until the first piece of economic bad news, then Trump owns it, right?

Sounds about right to me. When you are the wrecking ball you don’t get much credit for building things.

He has thousands of employees who get paid, pay their bills, provide for their families. Thousands of employees. Half of the buildings on the west side highway have his name on them. He's more than a wrecking ball, a lot more. He also managed to beat, quite handily, the most inevitable candidate ever,

that Idea may have worked its way into the system I'll give you that ..

So let me get this straight all that Obama stuff over 8 years. that you think was taken from from the country .. Trump has said he has un done... is the sole reason why the economy is were it is today ?

Walmart, for example, could boost hourly wages to more than $15 an hour with the $20 billion it was using for a buyback. A separate study from the Roosevelt Institute released in July found that companies spent nearly 60 percent of net profits on buybacks from 2015 to 2017. It estimated that with the money allocated to buybacks, companies such as Lowes, CVS, and Home Depot could give each of their workers a raise of at least $18,000 a year.

Harley-Davidson in February announced a nearly $700 million stock buyback plan just days after saying it would close a plant in Kansas City. Wells Fargo is spending $25 billion on buybacks and is at the same time laying off workers in multiple states.


again we should be happy with crumbs

"o let me get this straight all that Obama stuff over 8 years. that you think was taken from from the country .. Trump has said he has un done... is the sole reason why the economy is were it is today ?"

I don't buy that for a second, during Obama's term, the economy recovered nicely (though slowly by historic standards) from the recession, and he deserves credit for that.

As to your notion that companies should allocate buyback money to raises...WDMSO, I'm certain that some of your pension money is invested in the stock market. Do you want the companies you are invested in to be profitable, or break-even. There's a balance between seeking profits and being a good corporate citizen I guess, and we can debate where that line should be, but you're also benefiting from this...

Interestingly enough, I turned on Foxnews for the first time in a while last night, Tucker Carlson was on, and he talked for 10 minutes about how disgusting it is that the CEO of Amazon is the wealthiest person on the planet, yet some of his workers are on welfare. He's continuing the story Monday.

I'm astounded that state TV was dissing one of Trump's biggest foes...astounded I say.

Wage growth is positive but inflation and health care costs are s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g it all up...workers are losing ground.

Nebe 09-09-2018 02:22 PM

Bernie Sanders calls Bezos the largest recipient of government welfare in the US. It’s BS that the richest man in the world can’t pay his employees a living wage.

that’s because you don’t watch it, your opinions are formed by listening to what liberals have to say. there are two or three hosts on the network who will never criticize Trump, ever. there are hosts who do it regularly. maybe try watching it before you decide what it is?

I used to watch fox all the time until they went crazy. As for listening to liberals, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

oh you are so right. so insightful.

i used to watch fox for the guests more than the hosts, especially krauthammer who i loved.

anyway, the flagship show spent a lot of time rallying for what is seen as a liberal cause. and there will be another segment tonight. how often does cnn or msnbc do that?

on fox, the flagship show’s host routinely pounds trump for his behavior. show me when that happened at msnbc ir cnn from 09-16, when obama bashed conservatives, and endlessly bashed the police.

I'm a little puzzled. If the economic news is so bad... why is Obama trying to take credit for it?

scottw 09-11-2018 08:01 AM

more bad news...or is it good news that Obama can try to claim credit for?

Because he knows it will go right up Trump's *** and we'll get more desperate tweets.

almost. but obama doesn’t tweet his narcissism, nor does he articulate it using blue collar jargon. he’s more polished and articulate about it, so it’s tolerable to elitist snobs.

Some people might even do a double fist pump to celebrate how good they feel today.

Trump 1st 11 monthly jobs reports, employers added 1.84 million jobs, according to the December jobs report released Friday. That compares to 2.09 million jobs added in Obama's last 11 months in office.


Trump and his people love to lie .. no one is saying he hasn't had a positive effect on the economy..

Were just Not buying.. the Dear leader effect! that himself and supporters would lead us to believe... that he and he alone are 100% responsible for the current economy

lots of people are avoiding saying he’s helping the economy. cnn and msnbc will avoid saying that like the plague. even here, you had to get in that obama’s better.
every topic, every conversation, has to eventually get around to getting a dig at trump.
