The graph is too simple to really mean something. Is this an average annual rate? Cumulative? If it's Cumulative, there are more years for Obama than Trump. Link to comment

If it's a cumulative figure, that really is 1.5 for Obama and .25 for Trump Still, Obama wins. But, no where close to as impressive as the graph makes it look. With no further explanation to the graph, the graph really doesn't mean much. How is this hard to understand? Link to comment

I doubt it’s cumulative, but the thing I thought of right away is I doubt the effect Conservatives expect from tax cuts is supposed to happen after only 1 year. I’d think (if I believed in their theory) it would be a gradual improvement. Trump cut taxes so it stands to reason his revenue would not increase at a high rate in the first year. Link to comment

Tax rate are as such: 2017 = 35% 2018 = 28% 2019 = 21% Edit: That's what it is for us. But, the 2018 figure might depend on when your fiscal year starts and ends. Ours is October 1st so we have a blended tax rate for this year. But, to take this another step....some companies might not fully recognize the tax savings till they do their taxes at the end of fiscal 2019. Link to comment

Moiraine Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Not really "Trump Economy" since only one data point is during his presidency, but putting it here anyway. I wonder if the mid-2012 bump is due to people going to school in 2008 after losing their jobs/savings. Some others: 1.53 trillion out of 3.87 trillion is student debt. 39.5% Back in 2008 it was about 620 billion out of 2.63 trillion, which is 23.6% 2 Link to comment

He said yesterday he’d be willing to look into “a” sanction, but not on any that affect arms sales. It reminds me of the Republicans (including Trump) who are extreme anti regulation to the point where even if the regulation is preventing pollution that hurts people they’re fine with it because $ > all. 1 Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Color me shocked SHOCKED that corporations took a major tax cut and lined their pockets instead of investing in their companies to grow their business and have better earnings. 4 Link to comment
