monavari Not to mention Iran has 4x the military power that Iraq had. A war would be disastrous for everyone. The people saying a war would last 52 minutes are so high on American exceptionalism, they think God will fly down from the clouds with an American flag and fight Iran for them. It's ignorance on a whole new level.

@spencedog Get ready for that "biggest economic boom" to become a massive Recession. You think the good times can never end? We're far overdo for a Recession and unfortunately the Rust Belt never had that "recovery" from the 2008 Recession that the Great Depression successfully recovered from. You can thank Obama and Trump for failing to not give the working class the recovery they needed and now it's already time for another Recession that will be guaranteed to hurt those same people in the working class.

@spencedog "This economy is built for those that are driven and shoot for the stars." So apparently a farmer who works 70 hours a week to make an honest and humble living shouldn't see the benefits of a booming economy because he's not ambitious enough? Sounds like bullshit to me.

@spencedog Only 10% of farmers earn income over $100,000 a year and why is that? It's nearly always because they inherited the family business and lands aka they didn't work to achieve it (Over 60% of ALL wealth in the US is inherited). The average salary of a farmer is about $45,000 per year and I doubt the median is any better. Also, in regards to the stock market, you mean it's increased over the past 2 years because of mass stock buybacks (which used to be an illegal practice), the stock market has over-inflated itself and kept it artificially going up, even though it's mainly a mirage. If you actually listened to what real economists are saying (maybe step away from Stuart Varney on Fox Business), they're pretty upfront about how our economy is a house of cards. Any one little thing could set off a Recession this time. Last time it was the subprime mortgage crisis, this time it could be because of student loan debt, the current housing crisis, credit card debt, pick one. Either way, it's going to be a bad Recession this next time.

@spencedog Aside from what I just said, other people have already pointed out to you that the stock market is an indicator of how the RICH are doing, NOT the working class. Even your attempt at claiming wealthy farmers care about the stock market doesn't diminish that fact, it only reinforces it when you consider the top 2-3% of farmers who have massive acres of land are the only ones that are reflected by the stock market. 95% of the country (probably more) don't see any gains from the stock market, yet when it crashes, you can bet they'll be hurt by it.

@spencedog I didn't say one single word about Socialism or Capitalism. YOU said that. Did we ever have a Socialist economy in America before? Somehow we had a far more stable economy for workers before the 1980s, during Eisenhower there was a 90% top marginal tax rate on every dollar that was earned after you initially made $200,000 or $400,000 for a couple, does that mean America was communist in the 1950s? You're acting ridiculous when you pretend that working to fix the inequalities in the system is somehow communism and we'd immediately turn into Venezuela if efforts were made to stop Amazon from paying $0 in federal taxes.
