  1. He'd have cut you loose the guy was one of the weakest leaders have ever had Putin and Kim played him like a fiddle

  2. You have a spare 8 trillion for him to blow again I take it? A large part of the Inflation is his expanding the debt and money supply so quickly.

  3. The cuts are part of the reason inflation is so high they expanded the debt at a time when your normal economist would have said its prudent to shrink it They also fueled the wealth gap

  4. Trump by the numbers is the worst on the economy in US history beating even Hoover Negative GDP real wages stagnated farm bankruptcy at record levels declining manufacturing jobs highest unemployment, I thought he was average bad turns out his ecenomic numbers are just awful

  7.  @tstocker6926  What's that got to do with the super rich bellyaching about taxes when they don't pay any?

  8.  @barbarahernandez7629  at the very point in an economic cycle that you should have been paying down the debt he expanded it as soon as there was an economic problem the only way of dealing with it was to vastly expand the money supply this fuels long term inflation. In truth you'd have had to expand the money supply during the pandemic its just the corporate tax cuts made it happen quicker and at eye watering levels. Back in September 2021 the IMF recommended western economies apply a one off wealth tax to rebalance the money supply as it was noted nearly all the additional money has expanded wealth at the top by huge margins. If you step away from personal inflation you have rampant corporate inflation from the likes of fossil fuel companies you look at shipping its the same there simply isnt enough competition in the system you can either tax them or break them up.or both.

  9. He was going to leave NATO if he got a second term how's that helping? One of Putin's aims handed too him on a plate

  10.  @starscream9595  There's always an excuse with Trump its always someone else's fault. Even I was surprised how bad he was on the economy when I dived into the numbers the guy was on a par with Hoover. -150000 manufacturing jobs lost, record farm bankruptcies -8500 coal jobs lost worst GDP record (beating Bush who had 9/11 and the wall street collapse) worst inflation of the national debt (4 trillion) Worst Jobs record Man when you start dissecting it its pretty grim and the list is pretty extensive.

  11. The corporate tax cuts fueled the national debt we should have been reducing it they are responsible for a couple of points of inflation we have now? Supply side economics in action long term will further fuel the wealth gap

  12.  @yodaguy6956  Probably not but I'm on a mission to get people to look at what "Supply Side Economics" is so there better informed anyway these 3 talking heads are boosters for it. Supply-side economics assumes that lower tax rates boost economic growth by giving people incentives to work, save, and invest more. A critical tenet of this theory is that giving tax cuts to high-income people produces greater economic benefits than giving tax cuts to lower-income folks. Essentially, the more money the rich are able to keep, the more the whole economy will grow. But the evidence reveals two fundamental problems with this story. First, its primary prediction is wrong—giving tax cuts to the rich does not increase economic output or create new jobs. Instead, tax cuts for middle- and low-income taxpayers are much more effective at boosting macroeconomic activity. Second, supply-side theory misunderstands the actual mechanism by which tax rates influence macroeconomic activity. While supply-siders maintain that lower rates at the top incentivize people to earn more money, the evidence shows that tax cuts boost output mostly by putting money in people’s pockets and thereby stimulating demand. Why is supply-side economics controversial? Opponents of supply-side economics argue that rather than increasing revenue for the government, lowering taxes will instead increase the deficit. As a result, the government will have to cut programs or raise other taxes to make up for this shortfall, unless it wishes to run a permanent deficit.

  13. If you define the mission to rewire the economy from fossil to renewables detaching it from world commodity prices by investment in the renewables sector that drives innovation it would be more apt. The levels of investment are akin to that spent on the space race putting a man on the moon, the resulting innovation from that period are still big economic drivers today. Also add private funding is matching public funding If you put were getting rid of fossil then you'd get a complete meltdown from people with an interest in keeping the economy tied to fossil

  14.  @rodgerwoods4971  I've looked at parts of the bill the child tax credit is long overdue plus helping women get back to work, there's some tax rises in it for high earners and measures to plug loopholes. Also the spend is over 10 years. There may well be a bit of pork in there but thats government

  15. The guy is as nutty as a fruit and nut loaf He'll get zero backing unless it comes 9ut of his own pocket or that of Republicans trying to shill for a spoiler

  16. Most of the corporate tax cuts just got poured into coperate pockets and buy backs it did nothing for investment In fact it fueled the national debt at a time we should have been reducing it

  18. Tax relief for the middle class and child credit V tax cuts for corporations with DJT? that is some strong drugs your on Guess how he will pay for it cuts to Medicare and social security

  19.  @JohnDoe-ew3xt  he'd expressed a desire to leave it on a number of occasions irst in his presidential run in 2016 there's credible reporting from the security personnel he surrounded himself with that he would withdraw in he's second term. Comrade Tucker has been barking on about nato for years aside from that Trump got played by every autocrat he met all Kim had to do was send him a letter

  21. You need to look at tax as a % of income not total tax take People in the bottom 20% pay a fare higher % of ther income and asset worth than anyone else in the economy by a large margin people at the very top are paying 2 or maybe 3%

  22. Don't forget regressive purchase taxes bottom 20% of Texans by income pay 13% top 5% pay 3.5% by income in state taxes

Also add private funding is matching public funding The idea that the US is at its best when free markets have free reign is an economic myth just look at Tesla it got post 2008 regeneration grants from the government to keep it going

  24. ​ @michaelchristensen5965 Calafornia has the 5th largest economy in the world It's mean average tax take is 8% same as Texas its just Texas collects thiers via property/purchase/sales taxes which is regressive while Calafornia has progressive income tax Calafornia also spends near double on healthcare

  25.  @highcountrydelatite  as maybe but they have better healthcare and fewer homicides per 100k than Texas And as someone on low income and old the last thing I want is a plethora of stealth taxes and sky high medical, currently the Democrats are trying to get drug prices down the Republicans are fighting tooth and nail to keep the current insane price gauging levels for thier big pharmaceutical donors. Little wins but they all add up Have a nice day

  27.  @oGrasshoppero  Putin was figuring he could destabilise NATO and get it broken up, Trump said he would withdraw in his presidential run in 2016 and credible reports that he would have in his second term. Bye bye Moldova Finland etc

  28.  @deeandrews7051  your blinded by party loyalty Trump has ADHD plus other personalty disorders is easily manipulated and has a low development age. His constant lying and trying to alter facts to suit his world view shows deep rooted signs of mental instability and psychosis. His constant pedalling of quack cures for covid his constant fixation on trying to dig dirt on political opponents his refusal to accept defeat in the election and the multiple attempts to cheat.

  31. what moving away from fossil is somehow failed policy when being tied to world commodity markets is a major inflation driver and the less where dependent the fewer economic shocks we'll get. Yea right what a dumb thing to say Ill stay with my solar and battery

  32.  @chrishartley1928  failed in what way? Last time the US was Economically great was the space race where still benefiting from the massive government investments in research and development Biden has put a 2 trillion program together over the next 10 years which comprises of Infrastructure CHIPS and IRA which will transform the US economy into the renewable tech hub of the world. And that pivots the economy away from fossil. Anyone involved in fossil is pouring endless sums of money into trying to castrate the programs, follow the dark money of the Koch brothers & the Mercers Fox is also owned by a billionaire arseh0le who pedals climate denial

  33. Trump is a complete circus. When will the Republicans move on 4 year term and all he achieved was a tax break for corporate America, which piled on debt, adding to an explosion in inflation Quote One of President Donald Trump’s lesser known but profoundly damaging legacies will be the explosive rise in the national debt that occurred on his watch. The financial burden that he’s inflicted on our government will wreak havoc for decades, saddling our kids and grandkids with debt. The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country.

  35.  @matthewcarder9482  If you don't collect the taxes in income tax you'll have to pay in purchase taxes If you do then the middle and lower income classes pay more the upper and wealthy pay less the tax system is already skewed to the wealthy this would be the same but on steroids

  38. he had an appalling record on the economy He lost 150k manufacturing jobs in his 4 year term Biden has added 400k in 1 year Trump expanded the debt by 50% to 134.54% Biden has decreased it to 121.1% On top of that he's passed legislation to turn the US economy into the Renewable Tech hub of the world Trump passed a tax cut for the rich and rescinded regulations one of which was electric carriage brakes on hazardous substances He'll get obliterated in any ad campaign just by putting the 2 records side by side his jobs figures are kin awful

  41. What difference would that make the Republican playbook is cuts to government programs which will increase unemployment and tax cuts which will cost the deficit. If they had a plan then maybe you could debate it but they don't

  42. It depends on what part of the economy your in I work in IT growth over the last decade has just accelerated year on year and you can see huge shifts in automation transformation. That will distort the overall figure with services taking an absolute pummelling and fuel and food inflation

  43. Vice president job is to take over as President if something happens to them Which apart from voting in ties in the senate is the extent of her power currently. I'm sure Biden would do a lot more on those topics if he wasn't dealing with the clown show of a Congress, the most do nothing in political history

  44. The economy is adjusting to its new normal, the cost of Oil has driven up transport costs and Automation has made needing cheap Labour les of an issue.

  45. pouring 4 trillion into debt for tax cuts for the wealthy has a bad effect on inflation as does putting tariffs on imports and starting trade wars given the US has a 3 trillion pa export market. doesn't leave you with much choice if you don't want to see your 401k go up in smoke, his plans are insane
    1
  46. Why would anyone vote to make themselves poorer with Tariffs (aka Sales taxes) widen the deficit by giving the rich a huge tax cut and deporting hard working immigrants depressing the economy and causing a depression that will wipe out 10-20% of the value of the stock market? DJT's economic plans are moronic, the guy is an idiot who doesn't understand economics go ask the farmers who lost export markets permanently overnight that they spent 40 years building up and oh yea and he had to spend 92% of the tariff money raised on on US consumers bailing them out.

  47. Don't use tax breaks use import tariff on strategic goods. And look to reform agriculture it uses way to much chemicals fertiliser water and mono culture to be sustainable long term in large parts of the country

  48.  @kemetm3  offshoring was a corner stone of Reganomics followed by every Republican president since Supply side economics means buying from the cheapest no matter what that's what the corporate tax cuts were about, business was still going offshore during the Trump presidency McConnel saw to that. There trying to work out a bill at the momment to bring back some of the chip production

  49.  @ChantYip  or not at all if you use tax avoidance vehicle's, and why is unearned income not taxed at the same rate as earned? I have no beef with Elon or his companies in fact I intend to buy a Tesla next year but he talks utter crap about taxation the guy was born into wealth and doesn't understand the levels of corporate welfare he's been given over the years to enable him to do what he's done. I also have no beef with start up companies getting a leg up from the state silicon Valley is built on state funded research.
