Not true. He cut taxes, and cut the corporate tax rate, incentivizing many companies to grow. After they signed the tax bill, you saw all the companies announcing investments in growth. Subsequent to that, unemployment reached historic lows. Now I can't prove that Trumps economic policies reduced unemployment, but neither can you prove that Obama did anything to help the economy. But common sense tells me, that both helped. Blind partisanship leads you to believe that Obama helped, but not Trump.

You're descending deep into TDS Paul, and you didn't used to be like this.

Am I?

I asked you about black unemployment bc you constantly bring it up and you couldn't name anything specific to show how Trump has lowered black unemployment.

You are what you hate. You are making things up about what Trump did to lower black unemployment and when called out you bring up general things. He hasn't done anything specifically to lower black unemployment like you repeatedly claim. It is a byproduct of unemployment going down. If he started a massive program specifically targeted to the black community, then you could claim what you repeatedly claim. As far as I know there are no massive initiates/programs that other admins. haven't tried.

At that point Jim had mentioned black unemployment.

"Am I? "

Yes you are.

First you can't remember making an issue of post frequency, now you can't remember dismissing these initiatives that disproportionately benefit blacks, because they aren't, in your words, "specifically" for blacks.

Did you get hit in the head?

"you couldn't name anything specific to show how Trump has lowered black unemployment"

Yes I did. He is lowering unemployment for everyone, and blacks had higher unemployment, so at some point, it has to start benefitting them disproportionately. Paul, perhaps they should have named the tax bill "40 acres and a mule", but that wouldn't satisfy you either, so no big loss.

Jeez. Are you serious? Is this you? This isn't Spence hacking your account?

Paul, Obama lit the economy on fire. Trump dumped rocket fuel in the fire. it helped everyone. there’s still an unacceptable gap between black and white unemployment. but black unemployment is at its lowest ever.

the reason all the democrats at the SOTU say on their hands when this was celebrated, is the same reason you can’t admit what happened. Orange Man Bad.

you may continue your denial-fest undisturbed.

First you can't remember making an issue of post frequencyI never said I couldn't remember bring up posts about frequency- I said you have TDS bc you are constantly on here 7 days a week. Then you said you didn't post more than Pete. And then I said something like "who cares about the frequency it is about the content/importance" So where "didn't I remember"? , now you can't remember dismissing these initiatives that disproportionately benefit blacks, because they aren't, in your words, "specifically" for blacks.What initiatives specifically targeted blacks? I've asked and you haven't once given me an answer other than general things.

Did you get hit in the head?

"you couldn't name anything specific to show how Trump has lowered black unemployment"

Yes I did. He is lowering unemployment for everyone, and blacks had higher unemployment, so at some point, it has to start benefitting them disproportionately. Paul, perhaps they should have named the tax bill "40 acres and a mule", but that wouldn't satisfy you either, so no big loss.Using your convoluted logic Trump has been a godsend for LGBT people also bc their unemployment rate had dropped as a biproduct of the countries' rate - Keep reaching.

Jeez. Are you serious? Is this you? This isn't Spence hacking your account?
Let's hear you say it one more time "Trump has lowered the unemployment rate for blacks" but when asked for specifics you have none.

If I said he hasn't done anything to help black colleges you could rightly say I was wrong - you can point to your article.

Personally I do t think any one should have an easier time getting in to college than someone else. Let the grades, sports and after school activities speak for themselves along with letters of recommendation .
