I am going to call this out. There have been at least 4 times that a Dem president offered to sign a border reform bill that the GOP tanked it. Facts matter - ever since Reagan, the GOP has created and fomented immigration as a wedge issue and it has kept the party in power for decades without ANY meaningful reform in the intervening 40 years. |
Americans overall disapprove of everything Trump is doing by a landslide, except immigration.
A substantial contingent of Americans are willing to accept Trump driving the economy and the Federal government overall in the wrong direction (in their view) in exchange for putting the screws to immigrants. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/poll-trump-faces-early-challenges-economy-united-gop-backs-big-change-rcna195860 |
I am sure he will f that up also. |
That is absolutely not what I’m saying. You don’t care about what I’m saying, which is the problem. |
Same as with abortion. The bast majority of Republicans are Protestant, and opposed Kennedy for being Catholic, but Republican leaders started the American Protestant anti-abortion movement to manipulate non-thinking Christians. |
These is all scare mongering hyperbole. I’m not going to waste time refuting every assertion, but inflation is the easiest one to correct. February inflation rate lower than expected per CNBC (not Fox News): https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/03/12/cpi-inflation-report-february-2025.html If anything, the tariffs are going to reduce consumer spending, which will reduce inflation and cause the Fed to lower rates faster than expected, which will send stocks soaring. |
If you listen to the idiots on WMAL, no POTUS has had higher approval ratings than Trump right now. It reminds me of when Saddam Hussein was hiding in some underground tunnel (and his two sons were already blown to
Pieces) and his public affairs chief was telling the Iraqi populace that they were winning the war |
Yup, and this is just one of many wedge issues our amazing major political parties have left unresolved for decades in order to further divide the American people! |
When no one can afford anything, stocks won't soar. |
Who would have thought raising rates from 2.5 percent to 7+ percent would raise real estate prices through the roof.
Maybe tariff’s will work |
Lower rates are inevitable once the recession kicks in and lower rates will keep the housing market and much of the financial markets from tanking. Our country and Trump are lucky we are in a position where significantly lower rates are possible if poop hits the fan. |
Well what ARE you saying? Think before responding. |
Things are going to have to get very, very bad to make housing affordable again. Lower rates has just meant higher prices for the last, I don’t know, 15 years. |
Lol... preventing the housing market from tanking has little to do with making housing affordable again... preventing the housing market from tanking means maintaining current equity positions and preventing an onslaught of loan defaults. |

What happens when people can’t afford cars due to tariffs? |
