Impressed by Trump administration

    Pretty cool about the democrat party's newfound respect for the 10th Amendment.

    That said, #LOLEricHolder

    Hail Trump. So supposedly worried about the fetus, but not ways to supply pre natal aid to those in need. And then indifferent to what happens to the babies of the poor. A cold heart multiplied by hypocrisy.

Which fits in with your previous posting (back when you were convinced that all the "corruption" would lead to the Ds being in power indefinitely) about how conservatives should secede and form their own country because you're too much of a baby to simply accept that different people have different ideologies and that things are more complicated than "us = good; them = bad".

    We spent weeks long ago discussing the peaceful and 'bi-partisan' splitting of the nation. As this election has demonstrated, it is the left that is highly intolerant and unwilling to accept anything but whatever it is they want. One would think they would be most happy to be able to establish their own safe zones, sanctuary cities, and communist tenements anywhere they wish on their own, 'non-diluted' property.

    Hail Trump. If it is, it is despite what you would like to see happen to the poor.

    and that from someone raving about infanticide, what a hypocrite.

    Conservatives espouse policies that allow for upward mobility and self reliance. It is not our policies vis-a-vis the poor, it is our policies that free people from being poor.

    Get in the game.

    Right because there is a surplus of jobs that pay a wage to raise a family on.

    Republicans don't live in reality either.

    8 years of Marxist policies suppressing economic growth and job creation. It appears that it is finally coming to an end.

    Ya'll apparently didn't get Obama's memo saying that the service industry can support families. With a raise to $15 an hour.:RpS_w00t:

    Hail Trump. Your policies produce suffering on the poor with false promises tied with cruel actions flavored with hypocrisy.

    And a raise of the minimum wage to $15 puts an incredible amount of people either out of work or working fewer hours. Why do you think you see so many self-service cashiers in the store...don't have to hire more people.

    I asked someone at our local Target store why they install self-service checkouts.....this was the answer that I got.

    Keep telling yourself that. Obama just set the record for job growth in the last 8 years today. You're full of shit.

    In Seattle, because of min wage, there are people reducing their hours so they can still receive welfare.

    Probably also set a record low for workforce participation. Came off a deep trough - anyone could have created that many jobs without doing anything.

    Then why is our welfare rate at a record high for a record length of time if there is an amazing job growth? If that many people are getting jobs, you would think government assistance wouldn't be needed. "Jobs" are not the best indicator of an economy's strength.

    This graph kind of disproves your point. Labor Participation Rate is probably the most important number when it comes to jobs/unemployment. Percentage of able bodied people working or actively looking for a job. The sheer number of people who just plain quit looking for a job either by despair (couldn't find one) or they went on the government dole is mind boggling over the last 8 years.

    Technically the Unemployment rate is now finally back to the same that it was in 2008 before the crash, but the participation rate has dropped by 3%, signaling not job creation, but people just plain quit looking. The Unemployment Rate does not count people who quit looking as unemployed, they are just not counted at all.

    Sure, but QO mentioned economic stagnation and 'job creation' and tried to blame Obama for it despite record job growth.

    QO is a partisan hack though.

    It's very difficult to find a job that pays a living wage. I'd love to see the Republican plan to address wage stagnation as we become a more automated society that requires less inputs to achieve greater output. So far, nothing but blaming Obama and pretending Trump is going to put job/wage growth on steroids by cutting taxes and denying climate change.

    Sure. I still don't see why he gets the blame. What can Obama do given a Republican Congress that doesn't want to work with him? If you are going to blame Obama, Republicans deserve just as much blame further enhancing the irony of QO's shit posts.
  • iclfan2
    Why did they blame Bush for everything? Did the democrats not have an all democrat congress for the first couple years? What did he try to pass that would have spurned growth and got blocked? Did democrats not block any action from the repubs as well? You don't get to defend Obama and cast no blame on him while simultaneously him blaming Bush for everything. Raising the minimum wage doesn't count as helping create jobs either.

    Also, climate change is like 50th on the list of things to care about currently. Our people and our economy should be the top 20 on the list. And how do you propose ANYONE creates jobs for people who don't want to work in the first place? Why work when the government pays so well to not?

    None of that has anything to do with what I posted.

    And what happened to the libertarian sleeper? Now we basically have isadore without the "gosh a ruddies"? Oh wait, one in the same anyway.
