Politics: Rather than rooting on the strong economy, Democrats have taken to ignoring it, belittling it or, like Bill Maher did over the weekend, rooting for a recession. The extent to which Trump critics will go is truly mind-boggling.
The unemployment rate is at 49-year lows overall, and lower than ever for African-Americans. Household incomes are at record highs. The U.S. reclaimed its No. 1 rank in competitiveness. Economists are revising their growth forecasts upward. Optimism is at levels not seen in more than a decade.
Clearly the economy is doing well. And what's more, the public is increasingly crediting President Trump for it — as they should, since much of the turnaround is due to his dumping Obamanomics.
But what's a Democrat hoping to reclaim the House majority in November to do?
One is to ignore the economy altogether. So, Democrats are trying to turn attention to things like ObamaCare premiums or alleged corruption in the Trump administration.

Will Democrats AGAIN sabotage the economy for political power as they did in shielding Freddie and Fannie’s 2006 collapse from investigation (circa 2003) that could’ve avoided that?
They are desperate and are capable of doing anything.
Finally! Somebody has outright said it besides me. The 2006-8 economic collapse was ENGINEERED. Fake oil speculation by liberals. A run on the market by foreign entities ( George Soros and his merry band of Elite Fascists). Freddie and Fannie with CRAZY policies with Dodd and Frank blocking controls. This is what spiraled the economy and DAMAGED so many Americans.
You can bet your country the Democrats are going to try to do it again! Rigging the election failed. The deep state failed. Impeachment is a fail. So....the next agenda is to repeat how the got the last disaster by the American people.
Because America was doing so well compared with Russia, Stalin wanted to denigrate American society in the eyes of the world. He decided to focus on how racist and, in today’s words, anti-diverse Americans were. When the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti happened, he sent agitators to cause riots and crate a movement claiming that Sacco and Vanzetti were victims of (again, in today’s terms) being discriminated against.
At the candlelight vigil arranged for one of the executions the wife of a famous American novelist (whose name escapes me at the moment) said to the woman who had organized the vigil, “Gosh, I hope the governor grants clemency.” The woman disdainfully said, “Don’t be ridiculous. We want him executed. He’s no good to us alive.” She said that later when she’d told her husband he said he’d drop his support of their movement she warned him, “I think these people are dangerous. If you publicly say anything, they may hurt us.”
This is the Left. They are no different now than when they were under Stalin. When they say they want bad things for us so they can get back into power, believe them.
DUH!! ANYTHING to HURT TRUMP....ANYTHING!
PROGRESSIVES of both parties want high unemployment, guest labor, and well-controlled inflation. They want record high stock markets, but record low profits for small businesses. They want class distinctions and barriers to entry. They want an abundance of products to buy, but a population that can only wish they could afford them. They want the people with jobs to work themselves to death while a large percentage sits idle, living on the wages of the workers.
They need all this for the Petit Bourgeoisie to throw down their tools and close their little shops and join non-working “worker class” in demanding a “fair” economy where everyone gets what they need and they contribute what they can*.
*while ignoring a century of what constitutes “need” and “can” and who gets to decide.
If Obama had been killed by a foreign government while in their country, we who thought so little of him would have considered it an act of war. The Left is hoping against hope that President Trump will walk into a literally fatal trap in Pyongyang.
bump
If this is true then they can never be trusted to submit or vote on anything as they intend to destroy the U.S. for political revenge gone insane (TDS).
yes, and worse. They are looking to do anything that will give them control in anyways possible.
Only they know what’s right and best for the country and the world, don’t cha know? /s
When the last Bush was President, the media did everything it could to spook consumers and investors into losing confidence in the economy. For quite a while, their efforts were thwarted by the positive effects of the Bush tax cuts, but their relentless bad mouthing of the economy finally spooked consumers, which led to McCain, a weak candidate from the start, losing the election. They are trying the same thing again.
Many hopoed for obama to fail. For the good of tge country, like one would have hoped for the failure of a relationship of a family member and a con artist they were giving everything away to
Many hope Trump will fail, who, in contrast to obama, loves this country and is using his talent and treaaure to repair the damage done by five administrations of con artists. they want to be in charge. Tgey dont care about tge country.
They are saying political power is far more important to them than any “good” of the people.
That has always been leftist (Progressive) dogma. A few hundred million dead, so we can stay in power? No biggie.
Remember, to the Left, political power is everything.
To paraphrase Vince Lombardi, to the Left, political power is not the most important thing, it is the *only* thing.
They can just “declare” a recession in existence and hold their gullible base for the mid-term elections.
definition of a recession: when your neighbor looses his job, depression: when you lose your job. Here’s hoping Bill Mahar gets to experience firsthand his own personal depression.
They are doing their best to make it happen.
Sorry, Bill Maher. don’t watch the dirtbag so misspelled his name.
The world economy was on the brink of collapse and we infused the cash to start it back up again. It was the world bankers that set it all up. They made bad highly leveraged investments all over the world. The Fed stepped in just like it did in 1998 for Long Term Capital Management but this time it was multiple bank/brokerage houses across the world who were doing things they shouldn't be doing.
quantitative easing they called it. We bought up all the bad investments left all the bad guys in place (except for Lehman brothers) saved the world and they thank us by stabbing us in the back every chance they get.
