I Was Just Wondering

@fddl
holymolyIamamazedathowyourwordsruntogetherandmakeitdifficulttounderstandwhatyouaresaying. Phew.

So you like your van? Be sure to open the windows now and then. Get a little fresh air. I'm no "richfolk", but I do live in an actual house. See, I work and earn a living. Oh, and history has already shown Reagan to be one of the country's greatest presidents. Sorry about tossing in a few facts there.

@Madlittlegirl You need to do a little research. I do call what has done accomplishment. Surely not as accomplished as you.... but hey, who is? And Reagan was an economic rock star. I was there. You're communist brethren told you about his "evils".

I can assure you, Trump won't cause others to laugh at us. They will respect us which does not happen now. And our enemies will likely fear us and that is a good thing.

Now, go take your meds and relax. You're getting yourself all worked up. Watch some Rachael Maddow re-runs and smoke a bowl. That should help.

I've been blocked by her too and I don't even share political views with the two of you. Common ground has been found. *We Are the World starts playing*

Dave, to comment on your original post.... I believe the justice department will protect HRC from prosecution because our current prez will demand it. Is it wrong? Hell yes. But did you really expect something different from these people?

Madone... yes, in fact I have read up. And I know something about him. You realize he owns an amazing portfolio of world class properties throughout the globe right? Is that what makes him "incompetent"? Or that he's a billionaire. Maybe that's it.

His economic proposals are the best I'd seen since Reagan. But I'm only 60, so maybe I don't have your experienced eye. We have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. Lower it. American companies park trillions of dollars overseas to avoid US taxes. We can bring that capital into the US to create an economic stimulus like never before. Are those the things you think are madness?

@dave Aww, rats, I missed that. It makes me smile when people get all worked up over their left leanings. Personal insults become their only defense. Well thanks for sticking up for me Dave.

Hey, maybe she's right. My wife is a mother, and I do... well, you know...fo. Disagree on the inbred thing though. But I do like it that she could say something so nasty and personal without even a clue of who I am, what I do, or what makes me tick. But... since I have a different view of the world than she does, I MUST be an inbred mofo...LOL. Ahhh... liberal minds. Really predictable, but I do my best to enjoy them anyway.

@Lady, people didn't forget. They never even knew. Yes, Clinton signed the deal, but Republicans supported it too. George SR. was a big supporter.

I remember the term "that big sucking sound". Anyone else (oldsters like me) recall that? That was Ross Perot's claim. He was 100% correct like the van dweller who is commenting here has testified to. The jobs went away.

Only he blames Eisenhower/Nixon/Reagan/Bush/Rubio/Trump/MyGrandma and the guy in the Oscar Meyer hot dog suit. But not anyone remotely liberal.

Saffie Trump has great plans that would really fix the country. I think he really wants to go down in history as a great president. I believe he can pull it off!

You know what I wonder, and I do for here as well, in a country with so many millions of people is this the best we've got?!

I now have 50% fewer employees than 8 years ago. A couple of those I let go have found other employment. They are spending more on their heath costs due to higher deductibles. I always covered benefits.

They no longer get profit sharing, and I removed the 50% employer match to their 401K. Only 1 person has had a raise. They are thankful to have their jobs. They have all had increased costs in real estate tax, etc. But we live in a state that has been crushed by democrats and public sector unions. The economy has not rebounded like Florida, Texas, Indiana, Ohio, and others.

Never apologise for voicing or defending your opinion, every human should have that right!

Yeah, a lot of the people on here with the strongest opinions are not from the states.

@saffie Sorry for voicing my opinion. I take it all back. Koolaide anyone?

She must have blocked me too because her postings are no longer visible to me. Looks like I'll be losing hours of sleep tonight over it. Pardon me while I sit in the corner and weep. 😭

Funny how so many non-Americans have these strong opinions about our elections.

No Trump has a plan for a tax cut for the wealthy and said Americans make to much money in the labor force so he wants low paying jobs that will be able to get government welfare and continue to be tax users instead of tax payers the biggest private employer in the early 70s was GM those people bought houses cars went on vacation and paid taxes today the biggest employer is Walmart and most of those folks thru know fault of their own do not buy houses new cars or go on vacation they do however get food stamps and other government assistance they are tax users so how are low wage jobs going to cut taxes and really stimulate the economy?if that is Trumps plan it is more of the same that has gotten us to ware we are now and will only get worse I really don't think hillary will do much better but at least she says she wants to increase minimum wage and that must mean that she doesn't think we make to much money do you think we make to much I know I can't live off of 8 bucks an hour and support my family and I don't think you can either

@lady... It was probably the Russians that intercepted it.

@fddl Hey, I saw you used a period. Fantastic. As for the past 8, I can only tell you my personal experiences. I am now making 50% of what I made back then. My real estate taxes have doubled and my health care costs have tripled. I run a business so I am acutely aware of things like taxes and costs like employee benefits. And of course, the deductibles have grown by 500%.

The past 8 is the first time in history where we have not had a single year with 3% grown. Almost forgot to mention the job participation percentage is on par with the late 70's. Ninety five million people of working age out of the workforce? Is that better?

Better? No. Hell, you're living in a van! And we agree again. The TPP agreement is a worst mess than NAFTA, which as we already established has caused W to snatch up factories, stick them in pocket, and run away to Texas.

@Dave She rocks...!

his money comes from his family and investing in high risk housing market that actually ruined several people and did nothign good for the overall of the economy.

basically he could have taken his inheitance to a gambling bank, would you call that an accomplishment ?

reagan was toxic for the economy in the usa and only under clinton (the male) it recovered.

beside that a president trump will be the laughing stock of foreign politics and isolate the americans even more from the other western countries.

not even gonna mention the effects on internal peace in the usa.. there will be riots and a further radicalisation of politics.

that said... he is still the better choice then clinton who is a clear criminal.

Thanks fddl. I'll let you know what George W says on the factories/jobs and your punctuation. Oh, and we agree. Hard times are ahead. The past 8 years has been a mess.

Hey, I will say though that nice riverside location you staked out for your van is probably the safest spot to avoid the up and coming terror attacks from all the ISIS people who disguised themselves as refuges. So good for you....!

Jesus Dave next time I say I'm going to unfollow one of your threads I really will!

Trump won the nomination because Americans were tired of the status quo . I Hillary wins , we will have 4 more years of the same current Adminstration . We don't need that .

What fddlpej, alternative to Hillary? The government has no money, they have to vote to not shut down. Hillary's plans would make it much worse. Trump's plans would create lots of jobs, and the government would get funds from the taxes.

Ask those who live in Kansas how they like it when the kids only go to school 4 days a week because the governor gave tax breaks to the rich

saffie LOL. Thanks for that acknowledgement. I was actually joking around as evidenced by the Koolaide reference. I know... hard to tell the difference right?

Smart and Liberal don't happen together.

Like he will get the Mexicans to pay for a wall that won't work that you don't need all you have to do to stop the illegal border crossing is enforce the law and throw anyone that employs them in prison he won't do that and he won't tell the rich what to do either I wish he would but in this country the rich feel no pain we just cut taxes for them he won't be elected anyway so all is moot you are going to get hillary face it and I don't want her either she will also sell us down the road in a bad trade agreement so I don't see things getting better the democratic party is what the 60s republican party was and the Republican party is so far to the right it has gone nuts and there is no one for the working class so my guess is the Republican old school doesn't mind hillary at all she is a Republican and she will do what they really want and trump is a lesson for the tea party to show them that they need to fall in line and play the game we are screwed

No Trump has a plan to do what someone should have done long ago. Our trade with other countries is ridiculous. We pay big tariffs, but the other countries don't. This has been eating away at our country for a long time, that's how other countries manage to own so much of the U.S. Trump plans to contact companies that send work out of the country and tell them that it's going to cost them to bring it in the states.
The U.S. has had a huge disadvantage for a long time, Trump is going to make it better for the companies to keep the world here than send it out to another country. Creating a huge number of jobs.
What you said is really outlandish, it's really remarkable that you can believe that crap!

He won't, when was the last time the incredibly rich did something good for you or anyone else?

How so , my insurance premiums are 4 times what they used to be ?

Unfortunately carpediem I think his problem can't be cured by fiber. Nothing less than a brain transplant will do!

lol, very noble of you LadyJuneBug, you're my hero!

She probably will. No doubt. Sad. If it happens.

So we don't punish any criminals as long as what they have done is in the past no matter how serious they were and I do not support Clinton I don't like her and won't vote for her I have no problem with putting her or her husband in jail but let's get them all and so far no one has gone and we have the proof on bush he killed many and walks around free as a bird and nothing is ever going to happen to him if it did maybe something would happen to Clinton so go after the one who has never been looked into although the proof is waiting for us

I wonder if she can pardon herself once she becomes Prez.

Well ask the the people that used to work in the 50000 factories that closed down under w how they are doing at Walmart how many homes did they get kicked out of and if the corporate press would be honest they would tell you how bad Reagan was and we will be at the river together trying to build a fire to keep us warm in the winter

Yeah... Wait and see!

You're welcome LadyJuneBug!

So you just bash everyone and feel we're all doomed no matter what, I feel sorry for you fddlpej !

fddlpej What "crimes" did Bush commit?

I am employed but have seen many people laid off we have about 10 factories in town and are down to 3 left open after w was done places that had been open for 50 years lost a lot of homes then tell me how safe you feel now

I agree with you but I won't argue with a liberal democrat

@dave The guy is all bound up. Fiber. He needs more fiber in his diet.
