Yeah, it’s not the best, but The Federalist Papers is a pretty good website. I enjoy them, anyway. :)

You can click the link and comment directly to them if you’d like. They won’t bite! ;)

An excellent addition. LOVE that song. :)

Twitter censorship?

“One of the worst things was the huge amount of capital and companies that fled the U.S. for foreign countries. To be expected when you have the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world.”

President Trump seems to be luring them back - and another term will certainly help.

We CANNOT let him fail in 2020. And then we ALL need to vet, vet, vet any candidates coming up behind him.

As a Teen, I became interested in politics, and I’ve been running businesses for others since my 30’s. I’ve been waiting FOR-EVER for a ‘Businessman’ to be President.

In so many ways, America IS a business. The People’s Business! MAGA! :)

I don’t use Twitter, so I’m not sure. I read TFP through Facebook (Yes, I KNOW, Mom!) and FB goes to great lengths to have TFP seem to ‘fall off’ my News Feed every few weeks. Jerks!

All Social Media platforms run by Socialists seem to have THAT in common. :(

Where are all of our Conservative IT/Platform Design Guys? Is it down to just Jim and John Robinson? ;)

Correct. The vast majority of politicians have no clue how the real world works, economically. Look at the financial collapse of 2007-08. That was ENTIRELY caused by government and their screwing around with the markets and our financial system. (E.g. forcing lenders to give out billions of dollars in bad loans, which were then “guaranteed” by Fannie/Freddy.) It basically enabled all the bad actors to do their thing, and then were shocked when the whole house of cards fell down.

What you are saying may be true, but I don’t think they care. The important thing was to get mortgages for marginal buyers and let banks suffer any consequences.

I couldn’t agree more; Government produces NOTHING and consumes EVERYTHING! :(

I'm hardly a fan of Obama, but some of these charts are deceptive insofar as someone cherry-picked the end and start dates. For example, real median family income bottomed out in 2012 then rebounded and surpassed the 2007 peak by 2015. They also didn't plot the long dollar-based time series in log-space to normalize for growth; if you do that then the growth in federal debt wasn't that draconian under Zero, and the spike in debt/GDP is more properly seen as emanating from a GDP deficiency.

I believe many of the other charts are ok and present a good, balanced picture. But I expect stupid economic games from the left, not the right...someone needs to go back to Econ 101.

I tweeted the FR article link with the story. It got through in a sneaky way.

Odd that we have data and charts for the Obama years and Trump tweets for the Trump years.

Wow - relieving a leftist lunatic of his job because of leftist lunatic policies must be one of the most rewarding experiences of a lifetime. That should be on everyone’s bucket list.

Are they still counting the number of jobs “saved” like they did under Obama?

Many rank and file Democrats have no idea what it means to run a business, large or small. No idea of the risk, no idea of all the BS regulations, taxes, expenses, never mind the 18 hour days and sacrifices it entails. They have a cartoon perception, they believe small business owners just rake in the cash, pure profit, and are greedy. It is profoundly sad.

Absolutely. Lemme put it this way. The Great Depression couldn’t have been worse for most than the Great Recession was for me. Could. Not. Have. Been.

My income is up 1/3rd in the last two years and my tax rate has been cut 5% under President Trump.
