Honestly you are probably one of the people that does not watch the news, does not invest and does not make any money in real life. Probably better off never posting again.

Sorry but donald trump said bad pussy things and bad mexico things. I hear he is also a bit of a boaster! Therefor none of those achievements matter or should be considered when voting.

he pumped the economy with tax cuts while spending more than obama. i liek my stocks too but just shut up about the economy. he didn't "focus" on it, he juiced it with zer0 statesmanship.

bragging about the results of irresponsible policy that juices the dow is not " focusing on teh economy "

It's hard for me to even say that trump did anything particularly unusual for the economy besides all the grandstanding.

Black unemployment at an all time low, the median american household had 5000 more dollars to pump back into the economy. Again how you rationalize this away is your business, but please explain why it's bad. Cutting taxes for big business is a long-term investment in the economy; big businesses employ millions of people who now have more expendable income to roll with.

it's up to you if you want to just totally disregard the deficit, odd for a "republican" and of course extremely convenient for the present situation, but if so, let's get us some fucking health care and UBI for "long-term investment in the economy". The money flows upward anyway. Now that you've given away your only argument against it -- the argument, wielded by Republicans, that has allowed millions to perish without access to doctors -- how about it?

Any reflection at all in there? ...or just gonna ghost.

Yeah it's interesting. Suddenly all these extreme right Republicans are totally fine with increasing the deficit...shows that most of these "republicans" don't actually know what conservatism is about and what the party is supposed to stand for.

The worry is printing money causes inflation, which devalues the fortune of the wealthy. However, if the printed money goes to the wealthy this doesn’t matter as they retain the majority of wealth and it means their fixed expenses, such as min wage workers, actually go down in relative terms.

That's an interesting argument that may have some validity.

However, the issue with it is that most of these extreme right people (including the guys on these forums) aren't wealthy enough that what you describe would really impact them.
