@sunsporter1649 Yes, I'm sure you feel that all of President Trump's targets are crying unnecessarily. Might I respond with the following?

@CorvusBlackthorne What does that have to do with President Trump?
CorvusBlackthorne · 100+, M
@sunsporter1649 It is the leadership mandate which was written for him, in part by his vice president.

@CorvusBlackthorne Who knows how much of that 2025 thing will even happen.
First, the fed would have to get off it's butt, and we KNOW that seldom happens.
Trump says he will do a lot of things but he has only "concepts of a plan" at best.

@Punches You and I know full well that the president is rarely the one making things happen, anyway. It will be either Heritage Foundation doing everything, and he will simply be expected to sign.

@sunsporter1649 I know, everything to the left of hunting the homeless for sport is communism to you lot.

@CorvusBlackthorne What is we*rd though is he is talking about fixing the economy. YET at the same time, he is on social media asking for donations.
If he is so broke that he has to panhandle online, how in the h3ll is he going to fix the economy?
Oh wait, he once heard about a vague idea of a concept of a plan...
Corvus I tell ya, I BET his supporters are probably already wondering what they have done.
You know like when someone messes up big and immediately regrets it.

@CorvusBlackthorne We know, wide open borders, spiriling uprising crime, disaster of an economy, endless wars are all conservative policies, right?

@Punches Where did that $1,200,000,000 harris spent to lose. And if the demonocrats are such grand husbanders of cash flow, why are they still begging folks for the cash they overspent?
Punches · 46-50, F
@sunsporter1649 A lot of people voted for trump because they think he will fix the economy.
Not likely.
Not likely.

@sunsporter1649 You know nothing but what your fascist overlords tell you to know.

@Punches How'd that build back better work?
CorvusBlackthorne · 100+, M
@sunsporter1649 It was working quite well until your fascist overlords decided they did not like it.

@CorvusBlackthorne Goodbye Middle Class: Half Of All American Workers Make Less Than $43,222.81 A Year
It is that time of the year again. The Social Security Administration has finally released the final wage statistics for 2023, and they are quite sobering. According to the report, last year the “median wage” in this country was just $43,222.81. In other words, half of all American workers made less than $43,222.81, and half of all American workers made more than $43,222.81. That is terrible news because the cost of living has been rising much faster than paychecks have. More people are being squeezed out of the middle class with each passing day, but most Americans don’t even realize that this is happening because the media isn’t really talking about it. Poverty, homelessness and hunger are all growing all around us, and if we stay on the path that we are on the middle class will continue to be systematically eviscerated.
Once upon a time, the vast majority of the country could afford to live a middle class lifestyle.
But now those days are long gone.
The delinquency rate of office mortgages backing commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) spiked to 9.4% in October, up a full percentage point from September, and the highest since the worst months of the meltdown that followed the Financial Crisis. The delinquency rate has doubled since June 2023 (4.5%), according to data by Trepp, which tracks and analyzes CMBS.
The US is facing a once-in-a-generation housing affordability crisis. In the four years through August 2024, national home prices have risen 45%, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Index. According to the National Association of Realtors, the median sales price of a home in the US hit a record high this summer and now hovers just below that level.
A household would have to spend more than $150,000 a year to live the dream in 29 of the 50 states, according to an analysis published in April by the personal finance site GOBankingRates.
According to the report, the optimal American lifestyle would cost $137,842 a year in Ohio, $147,535 in Texas, $159,932 in Florida, $194,067 in New York and $245,723 in California.

@sunsporter1649 And your beloved president Trump passed legislation in 2017 that would raise taxes on those poor Americans in 2021, 2023, and 2025, yet you somehow think he is on your side.

@CorvusBlackthorne When you figure out how to give Federal tax breaks to folks that don't pay Federal taxes get back to us

@sunsporter1649 I thought the point of electing a president was to elect someone more intelligent than oneself.
