[W:2475] Ariz. State Senate Hears Preliminary Audit Report

That’s literally what he was saying. If they can’t afford it, they wont invest. That’s why the stock market is a bad indicator.

Why do you keep insisting the stock market is a great indicator?
LOL, context matters except to you where only bottom line matters, 159 million people employed makes a difference it context in the market
 
Ok, you want to ignore contrary facts to wallow in your cognitive dissonance, believing what you want to believe. Thus, you ignore the fact that some Republican controlled States believed that the extra unemployment benefits were keeping people from looking for work. As a result, twenty-five states ended all or some federal benefits paid to the unemployed, including an extra $300 a week.

So, did workers start looking for work after the benefits were cut? No, according to the research done by Arindrajit Dube, an economics professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. As the Myth Busters team would conclude, the theory that the unemployment benefits induced workers from returning to work is BUSTED.
You want to tell me what the unemployment rate is in California and NY, two states that have the most stringent Covid response and continued with the supplemental unemployment insurance

You will see that June 26 was the end date for the supplemental in TX, the July report will be out August 6, the June report had TX a full % point better than NY and California but that doesn't matter does it to ideologues
 
Yep, the rich get richer which of course is a Republican issue, right, oops Biden is a Democrat!! Keep running from reality. What is it about liberalism that creates people who make statements like this, then runs when challenged and proven wrong only to come back with the same rhetoric on this and other posts?
How many ****ing poor people did the asshole Trump appoint to his cabinet?
 
Nondiscretionary spending exists and does actually count. You think also that government operation is free? It just happens by magic?
Well Donald created 7 million jobs you know. He did that just like magic. I mean the man was amazing. He made America great again. He sent his army into the streets after bad people, had his patriots trash the White House because of evil, applauded Erdogan, Putin and fat boy Kim, split American against American, engaged in the most sophisticated instant communication system with the people and raised the level and tone of dignity and basic manners our children can follow to the highest standards for all time.

His lying about Covid was the most amazing act of caring for Americans I have ever seen.

Trump was magic. God bless Donald. In August he will return and non believers will be sorry. The demons will be slewed or is that slewn.

What is it about liberalism that creates people like you, so loyal to an ideology and so poorly educated on data and the facts. Are you a family member of one of the liberal elites. I wasn't and when I realized what the Democratic Party was doing, I left it but actually it left me, radicalized into the entitlement state party where the new statement was "ask what your country can do for you and get it paid for by someone else"
 
Except for the reality that almost 7 million new jobs were created under Trump giving people more money to put in the stock market, who do you think invests in the stock market? how about people with jobs??
Like a Vegas gambler that only counts his winnings and not his loses. At his peak, after three years, Trump presided over a 7 million job gain. But he was president for four years. In that last year, he presided over 10 million job loses, leaving him at a full term of minus three million. He doesn't get to be graded with a curve. You will argue that it wasn't his fault, because of Covid. But his response to Covid gave us the crisis. So, he gets the blame.

I have no idea what it is in the DNA of a liberal but this is embarrassing, the entitlement minded people are in control. it wasn't magic, it was incentive something that doesn't resonate with you

No, that’s literally what you are doing. You go with napkin math when you think it benefits Trump. “7 million new jobs!” But then you want to cite Congress when talking about Obama. What about with Trump? Congress doesn’t matter when Trump is in charge?

Identify the policies specifically and solely attributable to Donald Trump that created millions of jobs, and PROVE THAT THOSE POLICIES created the jobs.

Yes he was and it was people like you who supported the economic shutdown claiming you wanted it to stop the spread of the virus when the reality is you wanted the poor economic results to blame on Trump. Obviously you have no clue as to the difference between economic results from policy and economic results from a pandemic. His response to the pandemic? How about Cuomo and Newsome's response as they have 20% of the deaths
 
You did.
Conservative brought it up but with the emphasis on Biden. I changed it to Trump and asked him? He refuses to answer the question.

My point the poor and middle class would most likely have been involved in the stock market under Trump as they are under Biden. If they are interested and can afford to invest they will.. If they do not have the funds or interest they will not. It was a line of questions to try and paint Biden in a bad light.
There was also this clearly foolish prediction, and many like it, just before the election. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/donald-trump-wall-street-effect-markets-230164

Then there is no reason to continue this with you as you aren't going to respond to the data and continue spreading nothing but opinions for attention

What about Congress, what were the results from 2017-2018 with Republicans in Control of Congress?
 
That’s literally what he was saying. If they can’t afford it, they wont invest. That’s why the stock market is a bad indicator.

Why do you keep insisting the stock market is a great indicator?
Because the market is a very good indicator. You may not think so but only because you don't understand it.

Hahahahahaha can’t even name one policy from Trump that helped create one single job.

Ok, let’s ask a simpler question:

Of the jobs created while Trump occupied the White House, how many was he personally responsible for?
 
Because the market is a very good indicator. You may not think so but only because you don't understand it.

The stock market only matters to people who can afford to invest. Working class Americans don’t have their life changed by the Dow going up a thousand points.

What incentives are you taking about?
You previously said that Trump brought money back from corporations overseas. That was accounting fiction.

When people say that U.S. corporations have “brought money home” they’re referring to dividends that overseas subsidiaries have paid to their parent corporations. These did indeed surge briefly in 2018, as the tax law made it advantageous to transfer some assets from the books of those subsidiaries to the home companies; these transactions also showed up as a reduction in the measured stake of the parents in the subsidiaries, i.e., as negative direct investment.
But these transactions are simply rearrangements of companies’ books for tax purposes; they don’t necessarily correspond to anything real. Suppose that Multinational Megacorp USA decides to have its subsidiary, Multinational Mega Ireland, transfer some assets to the home company. This will produce simultaneous and opposite movement in dividends and direct investment. But the company’s overall balance sheet — which always included the assets of MM Ireland — hasn’t changed at all. No real resources have been transferred; MM USA has neither gained nor lost the ability to invest here. If you want to know whether investable funds are really being transferred to the U.S., you need to look at the overall balance on financial account — or, what should be the same (and is more accurately measured), the inverse of the balance on current account.

So the tax cut induced some accounting maneuvers, but did nothing to promote capital flows to America. The tax cut did, however, have one important international effect: We’re now paying more money to foreigners, because foreigners own about 35% of taxable equities in the U.S. The 2017 tax-cut, cut foreigners' taxes.
 
Conservative you are as much of a blind cult follower of Trump as you acuse any "iiberal" of being.

I think you would also be shocked if you ever actually read thd original definition of liberal and conservative. You would find much of what yiu like about Trump to be extreme liberalism.

Con, the entire world shutdown during the pandemic. Are you making the absurd claim that the entire world shutdown to create poor economic results to blame on Trump? Really? Run with that one.

I am not going to fall for your transparent trap -- when the news is good, Trump gets credit. When it is bad, blame Democratic governors.

Oh by the way who controlled Congress during those incredible Clinton years? how about 2004-2006?

Again, not one Trump policy identified. Weird that you keep making claims about policies and yet can’t name even one.

Yes it did and the entire world's economy went with it so why are you blaming only Trump for the poor economic results and job losses? The world shutdown to stop the spread of the virus which is what you claimed you wanted but really it was all about poor economic results to blame on Trump

Is reading comprehension something that you don't have?

Conspiracy theory. Rejected.

The R's and they opposed Clinton on nearly everything, including Clinton's tax increase, that Gingrich said would cause a recession. It didn't.

So posting non partisan links with data makes me a Trump cult follower? Where did you come up with that one? Don't results matter to you? Don't have to read the definition of liberal to see what it is now and has become. Isn't it the liberal position to take care of the poor and middle class? Isn't it the liberal position to equalize wealth? Isn't it the liberal position to provide prosperity to those less fortunate? Isn't it the liberal position to provide services to the poor paid for by someone else? When did the liberal position become the entitlement position were you are entitled to whatever they believe you need paid for by someone else?
 
The R's and they opposed Clinton on nearly everything, including Clinton's tax increase, that Gingrich said would cause a recession. It didn't.

Yes and how many jobs were created due to those rejections? How many items in the Contract with America did Clinton sign? Who signed the unfunded mandate law? the Tax increase when Clinton took office gave us the GOP Congress which you want to ignore. What is it about liberalism that creates people like you?
 
The lying propagandists tell you about a person lying, the lies they tell you in this are obviously lies and you accept them because they reflect badly on a person that you happen to hate already.

Alrighty then.

Throughout the Trump Administration, I read this same raving stupity many times and i always asked the deluded posters to list the lies told by Trump on the previous day.

You know what? They never listed the lies. Not even one listed even one time. NEVER. Amazing consistency in the display of their ignorant compliance to the demands of their dogma.
