Why Is No One (Except the President) Calling Out Kamala Harris’s Communist Ties?

You have missed the very point I was making. The point is that taxes (ie. gas taxes, incomes taxes) are used to fund a whole range of programs, policies and regulations. Taxation is a fundamental part of a well-functioning country and I am perplexed that you are so selective in how taxpayers money can be spent.

Property taxes fund a whole range of different things....it would greatly depend upon the state and local district.





This is baseless, absolutely and utterly baseless.
Unemployment: Under Obama, unemployment was cut from a recession-peak of 10 percent to only 4.7 percent
Job growth: By the end of the Obama administration, the economy had experienced 76 consecutive months of job growth
Average monthly job growth: During the last 33 months of the Obama administration, nonfarm job growth averaged 224,000 per month. During the first 33 months of the Trump administration, the average was 34,000 jobs per month less.
Average real GDP growth was roughly the same (2.6 percent) for the first 11 quarters under President Trump (ending Sept. 2019) and for the last 11 quarters of the Obama administration
Income: During the last two years of the Obama administration, annual median household income increased $4,800. This is three times more than the $1,400 increase during the first two years of the Trump administration.
Stock Market: Between President Trump’s Inauguration Day and November 2019, the Dow Jones Average increased more than 40 percent, while over the eight years of the Obama administration, the DJIA increased almost 150 percent – a substantially greater pace

The CATO Institute observed….
The Obama economy and the Trump economy seem to be the same economy. This observation applies to many other measures of American prosperity.

I would suggest that when you want to hurl misleading statements about other Presidents handling of issues such as the economy that your present facts. Above are the facts that disprove the false statement you made.

Here is the problem, CONTEXT you want to give Obama credit for the numbers he got when he took office not the numbers the Democratic Congress gave him. You want to ignore the fact that 6 million new taxpayers were created from April 2008 to January 2017 and regardless of who was President that is a disaster, Trump 6.6 million from January 2017 to February 2020. You buy rhetoric, buy percentage change and ignore context. Obama set records for part time jobs for economic reasons which skews the employment and unemployment data, Trump gave us 1.4 million fewer converting those jobs to full time jobs. Look this is a waste of time, you just don't seem to grasp the realty and context of the data



then there is this

There seems to be a real disconnect when it comes to debt and the results generated from that debt thus showing that all debt isn't equal. What exactly did the American taxpayers get out of the Obama debt??

1. The worst recovery from a major recession in modern history
2. Employment not getting back to pre recession levels until 2014
3. Record numbers of part time for economic reason employment meaning part time jobs thus lower taxpaying jobs
4. 500 billion average annual GDP growth for 8 years(4.0 Trillion GDP growth)
5. 9.3% U-6 Unemployment rate
6. Bail out of the pubic sector and claimed saved jobs which didn't generate the promised new jobs thus new taxpayers from 842 billion dollar shovel ready jobs stimulus

What have we gotten for the Trump debt

1. Strong economic growth, 900 billion average GDP growth 2017-2018-2019(2.7 trillion growth)
2. Employment of 6.6 million jobs created in 3 years vs. 6 million jobs created prior to taking office the last 9 years
3. 6.9% U-6 vs. 9.3% that he inherited
4. 1.4 million fewer part time for economic reason employees than inherited
5. 6% African American unemployment vs. the 8% inherited
6. Record state and local tax revenue due to consumer spending as a result of the tax cuts
7. No massive Gov't stimulus program pre pandemic
 
Let us not underestimate the stupidity of his supporters.

Right, actual results don't matter to you, policy doesn't matter to you, spreading politics of personal destruction do. Would love to know what Trump did to you that has created this kind of hatred?

He delusionally accuses a centrist politician of "communist ties" He abuses the Presidency to attack women. What you mislabel hate, is revulsion.

And that affects you how and trumps the incredible results generated? Oh, wait, you are a foreigner and don't like anyone who puts our country first
