I Am Interested In Politics

Let's examine the facts that you left out (or neglected to read) to perpetuate your love-affair with a moron, failed businessman, and crybaby...

1. From that same Morningstar article that you failed to credit as your source, "The recent improvement for low earners coincides with a downward trend in the unemployment rate, which stood at 4.4% last month, versus 4.9% a year earlier."

[c=#BF0000] -->[/c] During the campaign, Trump consistently cast doubt on the legitimacy and accuracy of the unemployment rate numbers (certainly you remember that). Why have those same numbers [u]suddenly[/u] become legitimate and accurate?

[c=#BF0000]-->[/c] No reputable and educated analyst, economist, commentator, or citizen would truthfully credit the current administration for effects on employment. That being said, there is a relative high confidence that consumers are expressing in the current state of the economy which is good for business (and in turn in wage growth). Trumps bloated reality TV gimmicks and shenanigans could be credited in making people "feel" good about things the same way a good motivational speaker can give people an illusion of hope which does have value.

2. From this same article, "Those wage gains also at least partially reflect rising minimum wages in many states and cities. At the start of the year, the minimum wage increased in 19 states, and Maryland and Oregon raised their pay floors this month."

[c=#BF0000]-->[/c] Trump and his cult of Republicans have generally not been proponents of the minimum wage gain bandwagon so giving him (and his cult followers) credit for those gains seems disingenuous and desperate.

[b]FINAL ASSESSMENT[/b]: Trump has proven time and time AND TIME A N D T I M E again (just counting since the time he has been in office) that he really is only interested in his own image, his own interests (from a business and social media perspective), and relieving himself of any responsibility or accountability when it comes to the burdens of being president. He seems to enjoy the glamour aspects of the job itself [b]ONLY[/b].

The general incompetence and inability of the current administration to rally the support for a repeal-and-replace in a way that represents the party in power having majority control of 3 branches of federal government illustrates the problems to come as we must all grapple with a crybaby who is, at best, pretending to be president of these United States.

[b]ADVICE[/b]: If you are going to rely on a source to form your opinion, don't cherry-pick only the parts that agree with your point of view. Doing so only delegitimizes your objectivity.

Obama's policies were designed to keep the poor in poverty and shrink the middle class to increase the DNC's voting base. It really is that simple.

It's the same in the UK. Sadly, the Conservatives were too scared of the"liberal" media to publicise the fact in the election. Now they are proposing to increase the statutory minimum wage, which is likely to have the opposite effect and to increase unemployment.

I love urinalysis I lost my small business because of Obamacare I employed 12 people all of which were making 40% above minimum wage to start and once they've been with me for more than 2 years they were making about twice minimum wage

Sometimes it's just hard to compare them

When public don't put a single vote what will the stupid cunning politicians do?
