| Does this mean the teacher and nurse shortage is over? And are we filling those jobs with Americans? |
And most people don't own stocks, so that is meaningless for a huge number of people/voters. |
This is a grotesque post. Is our country better off? |

The economy is doing incredibly well and whether deservedly or not, Trump will get the credit for it.
The proposals being offered by the Democrats would literally ruin this economy. No one in their right mind would want to vote for one of the Democratic candidates given the policies they are advocating. Trump will win reelection. BTW, I did not vote for Trump. |
Agree. |
| So impeachment has not hurt the economy at all, despite claims that it would. Good to know! |
Are you an economist? Are you clairvoyant? |
Can you give an example of a proposed Democratic policy that would “literally ruin the economy”? Preferably a proposal by the person most likely to be the nominee, Joe Biden? THanks. |
Oh please. Unless you completely do not gaf about your career and personal finance, it is incredibly hard NOT to own any interest in stocks. Have a 401k, IRA, or any other type of retirment account? Then you are likely vested in stocks. Even if you have a pension, your pension probably has vested interest in stocks. So many people invest in stocks who don't realize it. |
+1. I did not vote for Trump in 2016, but I am too scared not to vote for him in 2020 for one reason only: the economy. I would never tell anyone that, though. I’m sure there are millions like me. I think he’s gonna win by a landslide. |
Why do you think Trump is good for the economy? |
All I know is that my 401K is up spectacularly since he entered office. That alone is enough for me, tbh. Don’t really care how it happens. As they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! |
| Why have wages been sliding this year instead of growing? |
| My pay has not increased as much as the rate of inflation and I am paying more in taxes thanks to the tax “cut”. So although my 401k is doing fine - the average annual appreciation in the S and P over the last three years is around 12.5% which is better than the average annual rate of return of 11% during Obama’s 8 years (although it is stressful to see the wild swings that ensue after a tweet), I am not able to save as much I would like for retirement and college because my take home pay has gone down |
Hope they are paying you well for spreading this horsesh1t.
