Except it was a lie EVEN DURING REAGAN'S term. He had to raise taxes multiple times to cover his own tax cuts. Guess who he raised them on? Everyone but the rich, who got to keep their cuts.

And even if we did, the Dipshit put tariffs on the raw materials any factories would need to actually make stuff. He literally made shit more expensive to make here.

Republican do conomy good

I cannot understand how this lie persists to this day. Republicans have trashed the economy in every single administration they had for at least the last half century. I'm an adult with children and my lifetime has not seen a Republican that was good for the economy...

You're assuming I didn't.

And my entire point was on those rare occasions where we did vote enough of them in to have a diving super majority (this shouldn't be necessary to get literally the most basic shit accomplished), they DON'T do those great things.

They do the half assed bare minimum, which has not been enough to combat the backwards March whenever Republicans are even in anything other than the super minority.

I was just saying, that's like 3x the drop the rest of the market saw, so you must have had a few very specific stocks that only had their supply chains through the hardest hit tariff countries

There's a bipartisan bill in the Senate right now to force the tariffs to expire after 60 days if not approved by Congress. So they're at least putting on a show of doing something. It mentioned it on the blurb up top

It also costs a few million just to fly him to maralago. Each time. Plus charging secret service for the rooms they stay in at his properties. He's just funneling taxpayer dollars into his own pocket.

S&P500 needs to drop at least 7% to halt things for 15 mins. It only drops 5 yesterday

To sell it later because he thinks it'll be a collector's item. His only thoughts are ever about making money.

Dozens of Bomb threats suppressed the election day turnout in Blue areas of swing states.
