JT and I were wondering just what's going on for the past forty
years with the job markets, why was the auto bailouts necessary.?
How could the housing industry blow up in our face.? Why are fast
food businesses suffering.?
 
Why are metropolitan cities going broke trying to pay their retiring
employees, is this anything like the auto industry.?
Why is social security going broke if we have 27 million newly imported
workers, but then why are more on the dole than employed.?

Why did obama purchase more than 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition.?

Why can't Crash understand balanced global trade agreement.?

We, jt and myself need answers to these questions.

Demoslops happened.

I won't put all the blame in the Democrat's corner but a great lot of it belongs to many of their contemporary  liberal politicians.  Clinton and his supporters like to point to the 90's and a balanced budget but the true credit for that goes to the Contract with America and the Republican congress but Clinton did go along with their work so he deserves part credit.

As for who I blame I think NAFTA has done it's part and was/is a devastating agreement, for our nation then add to that China and it's economic awakening and our nation's desire to use their slave labor and our Politicians dropping the ball allowing China to take a huge number of our jobs and  Clinton and George W Bush deserves some of that credit.  Democrats with the way they made banks lend to anyone and everyone regardless of ability to pay it back or credit risk set up the impending housing crash that helped to drag everything else down.  Lastly Obama and his administration spent more and increased the debt more than all Administrations before him, all together.  That bill has yet to come due.   I'm also sure I've missed a lot but that's just my opinion.

over twenty years ago white color jobs started disappearing.  factories started disappearing. Service jobs became the majority of workers. Service jobs are the lowest avg. paying jobs. Thus no one can afford to do anything. Fast food has become as expensive as casual restaurants unless you order off the dollar menu.  Government jobs which are part of service industries have the best benefits and now pay as much if not more than private sector thanks to unions. We have politicians not business people controlling cities, counties, states and federal. We are run by our hearts not our brains. Depending where you live a person works until April or May to pay taxes, that does not include sales tax. California just raised gas taxes to a bury drivers high. Why to pay for absorbent government employee's retirement cost.    This is why we need a business person in the president's office, why Missouri and a few others elected outsiders.

rt. wingnut god ronnie reagan put 'trickle down economics' into play in the early 80s... its done the job of destroying the middle class and putting corporations above people, country and everything else.  after 40  years of 'trickle down'... we're in the full effects of the policy. republicans are ready to double down on that policy , again.... there's no middle class to destroy this time. guess who gets to suffer this go round.

and exactly how many business have turned in RECORD PROFITS in the last 8  years.. you can NOT be this stupid.. not and be the world class accountant and traveler you claim to be, squirrel.  you're either deranged or a total idiot or you work very hard at being stupid... which is it?

It might help if those record profits were earned in this country and paid out in salaries and dividends to US citizens and the taxes went to other country's tax coffers:

U.S. companies' overseas earnings hit record $1.9 trillion: study

Eight years ago businesses started hanging on to their money,
as well they should with the threat of socialized medical care
turned out to be a reality. That along with more regulations to
cripple business and of course taxes, barry pushing jobs off
sh ore. Anyone who will say oberry was trying to build a strong
America is either lying or stupid or liberal. And they can't in any
way prove his actions were to benefit the country. Please try..!!    
 
You have Nothing to be proud of for the last 8 years. It was
treasonous in every sense of the word.

US companies had record profits for the past 6-8 years... even google knows it.. the only people who can't see it are rt. wing idiots who believe alternative facts. one quick google search shows 'big oil made more in 2015 than EVER IN HISTORY" as well as big banking.... i have no clue where you get your alternative facts.. probably from the alternative world you republiCONS live. when every FACT on the page shows you're wrong... you have to be a republiCON to keep arguing.

Most of the profits, after foreign nations tax them are sitting in offs**** shelters like the Caymans.  Time to lower the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent and bring it home.  Trump would like to use the taxes from such for infrastructure construction.

come on dire... you're supposed to be world class accountant and traveler.... you know the average tax rate for a major US company was around 14%.... with a majority of them actually receiving a refund  or subsidy.  for example GE got a $3.2 BILLION return on  $5.1 billion paid.... we both know you're just blowing smoke so you don't look so stupid. it's not working.

GE is a prime example of a company offshoring its overseas profits.  Its the small corporations, including individuals filing as incorporated, that end up paying the highest levels.

GE paid nearly 2 billion in taxes.  Crash's ilk contributes nothing and then receives tax refunds.  Yeah, we need more crash's in this world, lol.

i've made the offer many times... we can meet on the courthouse lawn and compare tax returns.. the one who pays the least, buys lunch.  i'd say the world needs more hoobs, but we have enough idiots, already.

and $2billion was less than 14% tax rate.. thanks for admitting you were wrong. ha!
