Big Red 40 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 YIm sure this Reich guy is just some looney “Lib”who’s losing his mind and spreading fake news but he makes some good points here I think . https://www.newsweek.com/robert-reich-truth-about-trumps-booming-economy-opinion-1169901?fbclid=IwAR2l_GhDD5KRiMZ8e6lx5kPd3PT-u1d1zaH9LhLJ3bYk4SQoJxqcGV0NMM0 Too often, discussions about “the economy” focus on overall statistics about growth, the stock market, and unemployment. But most Americans don’t live in that economy. They live in a personal economy that has more to do with wages, job security, commutes to and from work, and the costs of housing, health care, drugs, education, and home insurance. These are the things that hit closest home. They comprise the typical American’s standard of living. 1 Link to comment

As someone else put quite nicely, he does this crap because he knows certain outlets will publish headlines like "Trump promises 10% middle-class tax cut." He's literally pulling a phony tax cut out of his rear end because he knows it's election time and they're getting killed with the middle class. And there are no doubt some stupid people who will believe him. 3 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Just sold our crops for this year. After having higher yields than last year, our income is down 16.6%. Thanks Trump. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Anybody notice how much of a cliff the stock market has fallen off lately? I checked yesterday and looking at the charts, we've given up nearly the entire past year's gains the last month. Not exactly great for Mr. Super Fantastic Economy Man right before the midterms. 1 Link to comment

My 401k continues to look hilariously bad because I just started it at the beginning of this year. Last I checked it had a -7% return. 2 Link to comment

It's hard to get anything done when an obstructionist Congress is in session. I know, I know they haven't been there very long. But maybe, just maybe, if they could see past their seething hatred for Trump and do their jobs. You know, like legislating and passing bills instead of starting new investigations and trying their damndest to get Trump they could get something done. 1 Link to comment
