@ProfRS u make a good point! I wanted less government, my right to bear arms. The way things are going...no party is acting the way they should!!!?

@Shewolfiie69 [quote] I see by reading ur responses that u are passionate about Trump?![/quote]
I don't know how you arrived at that conclusion, but to clarify, no, I'm not passionate about the president surrounded by more ___s than any other.

[quote]You should be happy that we live in a country that allows u to voice our opinions![/quote] I am very happy to live in a country where I can call out your baseless claims as being baseless.

[quote]Thinking that ur right no matter what may be dangerous?[/quote] You think that I think I'm right no matter what because I asked you for evidence of a major crime and you can't give me any? Quit projecting.

[quote]It’s too bad we can’t have a decent dialogue without insults and emotions running wild!!![/quote] Have I insulted you in some way? I don't recall doing so, and looking at my three very brief comments I certainly haven't done so here. If you're going to be so adamant at flinging shit at me and refusing to have a discussion, then maybe I should.

@TotalMiss I don't know exactly what your saying? Do you think I am against democracy (I make a distinction between the Democratic Party and the principle of democracy).

@TotalMiss that’s a very wise statement. All I would like is for these politicians not to show me that I have a higher education! That they don’t embarrass us outright and not have friends that would rather see us dead!!!!

@FelixLegion Felix you had me when you used the C word...I don't mean Communist. By the way, I never judge ideas by what groups 'label' the idea. You see if a "Communist" called an object made for sitting a 'chair'...I wouldn't be stupid enough to say 'Sounds like Communism to me!!". I would actually ask...is it a chair? By the way if a "Capitalist" said, that thing built into the wall that is made of glass that allows you to look outside is a window....I hope I wouldn't be dumb enough to say "Sounds like Capitalism to me"...I would just say...."Gee, I think he is right, looks like it is window"....:)

@FelixLegion You think that 0% interest rates hurts the rich? They LOVE it, it makes them rich for doing nothing. Normal people, on the other hand, get absolutely shafted because the economy is fake and only goes on through injected money into the system. There are reasons why the employment situation has not gotten better since 2008, and that is a really big one.

Had we not cheated in this way in 2008, it would have been comparable to the great depression. Now, because we keep delaying the crash we're due for and pumping money into everything, when it finally does crash it will likely surpass anything we've ever seen before.

Anyway, enjoy the whole Israel-is-our-greatest-ally crap. 😂

@FelixLegion None of what you said is correct. We had 2008 because the federal reserve pumped too much money into the economy. Yes, there was a system that allowed this money to cause the housing crash, but the real problem is that the money entered the system and was used to help people finance homes they couldn't afford. But housing doesn't begin to describe the whole problem. The money didn't *just* go to mortgages, it went everywhere, inflating many markets. Housing was just the trigger.

Think of it this way: the fed made a grenade and let the financial world pull the pin without stopping them. By their own admission their job is to prevent bubbles like that, but they're the direct cause every single time.

And the employment situation is absolutely awful. I guess you must not be looking for a full time job yet. Sure, you might point at unemployment being at some absurd 20 year low or something, but that's obvious garbage and our current president even campaigned on these numbers being garbage! He must've said at least a dozen times that the real unemployment is much higher, and it is! Even if you look at the official unemployment numbers, it's roughly TRIPLE the overall for people in their 20s. That's a big sign of a very weak economy.

Nominal unemployment is around 4% and this is a blatant lie. Let's consider work force participation in the 90s. It was around 66-67%[1] for most of that decade. Now, let's compare that to the 2010s. We get 62-63%[1]. So, there are about 4% less people working as a share of the workforce since then.

What do we see in unemployment numbers? A 4% increase? No. Instead, unemployment somehow gets lower[2].

So how are we getting steadily lower unemployment with participation perpetually dropping? One reason is obviously discouraged workers, and people going back to school because they don't see any other options is a factor too, but a big one is likely that the department of labor is cherry picking their survey participants.

Another factor in employment being a serious issue is constantly seen in the job growth reports. They usually report that there are few full time jobs and more and more part time jobs, and when they take the sum they manage to get positive job growth. But that's not real, as in most cases the amount of work hours is stagnant or goes down. There is less work to go around at worse pay.

The US economy is running on fumes. Just look at the trade deficits we have. They keep getting higher and higher! How on Earth can we have a prosperous society with high employment when we barely make anything, barely sell anything, barely make use of our natural resources, etc? We can't, and the numbers reflect that.

Now, I expect you'll completely disregard or misunderstand everything I've said. Prove me wrong.

@MasterLee this is the correct response

@Keraunos plz wait until all the facts come out? If Trump hasn’t been colluding, then why was he so hot in the pants to end the investigation? What is he hiding?
