  1. As one person said, a lot of our agriculture is mechanized by now. There are no illegal migrant workers, there are workers who come in on H-2A visas which are temporary, seasonal workers that many take advantage of. They come in, work, get paid, and go back to their country. They are not going away.

  2. It is amazing how people still take this guy seriously. What has he got right over the past few years?

  3.  @daleal7250  Trump did tariffs last time and we had a strong economy. It goes way beyond tariffs, thus we are talking about more advanced economics. But to keep it simple for an econ 101 student; he had the income tax cuts for the middle and lower class, he had the corporate tax cuts, he had the upper hand as China tried to counter with tariffs on agriculture which makes up less than 2% of our workforce. Trump also increased oil and energy production in the US leading to lower gas prices. Again, there is more to it than what you are describing which is why you only made it to econ 101.

  4. Remember when Pakman said Trump was losing supporters, that Trump was losing it, that he had dementia, that he was going to prison, that it was the end for Trump? I do. How did those predictions turn out?

  5. We already had a Trump presidency. We know what we are getting. Another strong economy and a more peaceful world. You guys are making it seem like we never been through this. We have.

  6. We already had a Trump presidency and under him the economy was great. I mark this up as another one of Pakman's failed predictions.

  7. Under Trump there were no new wars and the lower 1/4 of wage earners in the US saw the highest wage growth.

  8. That was how the country was funded for years and we were fine.

  9.  @preeyakumari-i2q  nope, according to FRED gas prices were lower under Trump compared to under Obama and Biden. What monopoly to raise food prices? Where I live I have 4 main options to choose from to buy food. What monopoly on retail, housing, etc.? And if so, why didn't it happen under Trump but happened under Biden? As for the deficit, it was lower under Trump in terms of percent of GDP compared to Biden according to FRED stats. You have to ignore covid because the economy was shut down and congress used that as an excuse to raise spending and keep it high. That is why Trump wants to cut spending, get it back down to pre covid levels.

  10. You do know tariffs is what funded this nation before the federal income tax? You do know there is a lot more to the economy now than just tariffs? You do know Trump did tariffs in his first term and the economy was strong?

  11. Trump wants to give you guys a tax cut.

  12. He didn't in the past. He had to fix Obama's mess.

  13. So you want the country to go under because you hate the president? That is sick of you. I didn't want things to be so bad under Biden.

  14. Biden's economy is terrible. High prices, bad supply chain, people can't afford to pay bills or buy homes. That is why so many voted for Trump. They remember his economy and how great it was.

  15. Well, I have been here explaining how under Trump's first term the economy was strong in many ways and I get called an idiot. I even cite my numbers. Also, when has Pakman ever been correct? If Pakman was correct, Trump would have lost all of his supporters, he would have lost by a landslide, he would have dementia, and he would be in prison. Pakman has been wrong for years now. Why trust him now?

  16. Trump never filed for bankruptcy. And the debt was raised more under Obama and Biden if you ignore Covid where the democrats used that as an excuse to raise spending over 50% and keep it at that level.

  17. More of the democrats are stupid and want to waste tax payer's dollars playing politics. How well did the last impeachments go?

  18. I love how now the left are claiming that a tax increases prices. We have been saying that for years on you guys wanting to raise taxes on the rich.

  19.  @rogermorris8737  it is not that simple. To start, a tax on the rich means they pass it on to the middle and lower class. So yes, a 10% increase on the tax on the rich means a 10% increase on the middle and lower class. People on the right have been, correctly, calling that for years. Or if there is no increase in prices, it would mean less investment, less jobs, less growth, etc. On tariffs it is a trade tactic to get other nations to bring prices down or companies bring jobs back to the US. It worked out well in Trump's first term when we saw an increase in steel production in the US. Also, Trump, like he did in his first term, offset his tariffs then with income tax cuts and corporate tax cuts. So it is not a one shot thing. There is more to it. Fun fact, we used to be funding mainly on tariffs in the US as we had no federal income tax and we did fine. Trump knows what he is doing. We had a term of him already and under him prices were lower, inflation was low, wage growth was high, etc. People could afford to pay bills and even homes as shown by the increase in homeownership rate of 5% which fell 6% 12 years prior before Trump. This idea he is going to harm the economy now or has no clue what he is doing is asinine. Heck, he had a Japanese company say they will invest $100 billion in the US. Investors have faith in the US economy now. The liberal elites don't but investors do.

  20. Fun fact, according to the Atlanta Federal Reserve the lower 1/4 of wage earners saw their wages increase at a rate of around 4.5%, the highest of any group under Trump. Under Obama it was around 1%.
