Expectations for 47

You've still been yet to explain how the deck was stacked against him. But okay. Don't be so defeatist, things can always get worse.

 

And, after you very gradually acknowledged most of the points made in post #20, I finally return you to that list:

• Our trade imbalance is killing us
• The GDP has lost so much ground to inflation that the politically motivated statistics are misleading
• Our burgeoning national debt of $36T (and rising)
• Excessive cost of servicing the national debt (highest in 2 decades).
• Concerted global effort at de-Dollarization (thanks for weaponizing the USD Jobie) weakening the USD
• Fed-induced life-support of the USD (directly related to increasing cost of borrowing)
• Net loss of skilled manufacturing jobs, replaced with unskilled service jobs (falling standard of living)
• An outsized COVID-accelerated exodus of seasoned workers replaced by coffee-spillers-in-training
• Record multiples of capitalized companies showing profits from cutting expenses instead of growing

 

Refuted, mostly

 

Refuted? Hardly.

 

OMG. Do really trust any figures ANY POLITICAL ADMINISTRAYION PUTS OUT? Aren't they usually revised?

 

My God Gene, do you live in this country? You are continuing to show your ignorance. The deck was stacked against Trump right from the beginning and it has never ended. A question for you so others can see that you are what I would consider a worthless poster: Did the FBI "bug" the Trump Campaign when he ran for POTUS? Would you consider that the beginning of deck stacking?

Are you there @GeneWright? What do you think @freshmeat?

 

@toughcoins Do you think I'm talking about this datapoint in blue? Because I'm talking about all those ones in red demonstrating consistent growth of real GDP.

 

I think it is time that flow charts and data points be put in their place as it pertains to last Tuesday. Precisely the one glaring issue that lost the election for the Dems is not at all measurable. Americans by and large felt like hell. Plain and simple. We weren’t proud of the trans clown show that was being forced upon us. We weren’t proud of how our elected leaders were demonstrating their lack of leadership. We Americans want to be proud of who we are. Even with our faults and I think the flow charts were a big hindrance to the left in this election because they did not show what were in most Americans hearts.

 

So much for the party of facts over feelings

 

GW, what institute of post-high school education did you attend, to earn a Clown Degree?

 

First time I have heard that one.... Just recounting the general feeling from the trenches.

 

I KNOW, I Know... Block the Pumpkin School for Liberal Chickens.

Party of feelings? I don't see any Trump voters crying, screaming, or cutting their hair.

 

Well, speaking of expectations, I didn't expect this. Off season April fools joke perhaps?

 

Lol!

 

@GeneWright

I'm sure you are unaware of the fact that things are changing already all over the world - especially with our enemies, Iran, Russia, and China and Trump is not even in office yet!

Why don't you post another graph of that? LOL.

 

Pete is as solid as they come.

 

Hold on a sec. Let's see... degrees from Princeton and Harvard. A combat veteran who did tours in Afghanistan, Iraq and Gitmo. Received two bronze stars and the Combat Infantryman's Badge.

OK, so he's no General Milley......... THANK GOD! And he's no Lloyd Austin........ HALLELUJAH!

I like the sound of that: Secretary Hegseth. Yeah, it has a good ring to it.

 

Please remember to amend your Post and add NORTH KOREA...

 

I don't think these people understand what it means to have a "No BS" man in that position. All they know of him is his news anchor background.
