You’re right. I’m not the one in this thread who has said the rscent drop is because of an election.

And people actually support this piece of s#!t.

No. GDP is not the “sole” economic measure. It’s a major one, but not the only one.

Just because something happens around a certain event, doesn’t mean it was caused by that event. The drop was was not caused by the election. And, you act like the market has been going up steady ever since 2016. It hasn’t.

Well....one nice thing about the economy is that it’s very unforgiving. We get the pleasure of experiencing what is going to happen. I see major issues in our economy through my work. I expect those to start showing up more and more as we go through the next year. I never have refuted cited that unemployment is low. Problem is, this is not a leading indicator of the economy. It’s a lagging indicator.

Interesting. It’s like you have no recollection of the stock market over the last year.

That was a pretty easy google search. http://fortune.com/2016/10/10/donald-trump-special-prosecutor-hillary-clinton/ Specifically, in reference to her actions relating to her private email server, he said: “And I’ll tell you what. I didn’t think I’d say this, but I’m going to say it, and I hate to say it. But if I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation, because there has never been so many lies, so much deception. There has never been anything like it, and we’re going to have a special prosecutor.” When Hillary Clinton replied that it was “awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country,” Trump quickly added, “Because you’d be in jail.”

I refuse to engage politically with people on Facebook.

So you admit there are problems in the housing market and you ignored the major issues in the AG economy and you ignored the company reports that precipitated the recent fall on the stock market. Those are two major parts of our economy. You also ignored the fact that the stupid trade wars is what initially crashed the markets and they have been on pretty shaky ground ever since. I didn’t say all the reports were negative. I said there have been some disappointing ones and that’s what the markets are reacting to. Its NOT because the Democrats won the house. That’s the comment I was initially refuting.

Are you arguing that the housing market isn't in a slump? Are you arguing that the ag economy isn't in a slump? Are you arguing that the S&P didn't fall sharply in early February when the trade war started? Are you arguing that the S&P didn't spend a short time above the highs then fell again during earnings season? Are you arguing that FAANG stocks aren't dropping hard and dragging others down with them? Are you arguing that the earnings that have disappointed are because of the Democrats?

So, he lied about the bolded. And....I remember him going to the border and prancing around a wall that he claimed he had started building. But, that was fairly quickly debunked as not true. Then why does he constantly cry because the justice department isn't investigating her? Oh......and he promised to lock her up....then almost immediately after election claimed that he wasn't going to do that. He sure got the votes for saying it though. That's right. Deportations actually increased under Obama.....than why does he think he needs to lie about Democrats wanting an open border and about them organizing caravans? Us leaving NATO would have essentially broken up the entire thing. But, I will give him credit for getting more countries to pay more. However, many of those had already agreed to pay more before he was elected. Which pretty much proves he knows nothing about the subject and it's ability to get information.....and......there's a little thing called the Geneva Convention that becomes a real problem. I'll be interested in seeing how this comes to fruition. But, let's not kid ourselves. If it were the Clintons or Obamas not releasing their taxes, the Republicans heads would be exploding. I actually find it funny that Republicans don't care if he releases them or not. It pretty much proves that they don't care about anything legal as long as their agenda is getting passed. I do hope you stick around and partake in meaningful conversation.

Ummm....no. The stock market has been in a slump ever since the orange man started his ill advised trade wars in early February. The S&P spent a very short period recently above the highs from late January, but that was very short lived and it's not because of the Democrats. It's because the economy isn't as strong and robust as what has been advertised. Housing market sucks, construction for residential housing sucks, the ag economy sucks. The recent drops are mostly because we are in the middle of earnings season and there have been some very disappointing reports. The most recent was Target. FAANG stocks have also been very disappointing. Those earnings reports have nothing to do with who won an election.

beorach vs. bigredbuster is bigger because I have something he wants.

Those are the people I un-friend on Facebook.

What’s the weather outside? It could be blue, grey, white....or many other colors.

Thanks Trump.

I’m a pretty pro business person. But, this headline pretty much sums up why he is so disgusting.

I think it’s pretty clear that he had the physical talent to be very good, but not willing to do what it takes to be as successful as Ziggy. When you you don’t have the mental toughness.....you quit.

But, it was still relevant.

That’s right. It’s not cut and dried and fit into a nice little definition like some want to make it out to be.

I'm sorry.
