Yet they worked in Trump's first term. Remember all those factories and industries that used to be in America, but went overseas and were replaced by foreign owned companies? Remember Obama said those jobs "weren't coming back". Remember Trump's magic wand?

Your economic intelligence aligns with Harris, regardless if you claim you aren't voting for her on this website.

Not a single candidate. The presidential vote is least important to me. I am more concerned with state and local affairs that directly impact me and my community.

If President is so unimportant, how did Biden and Trump frick things up so bad in your opinion?

Are you saying that Biden didn't trust her ideas to fix the economy?

You think that’s how it works? Dick Cheney was behind the curtain setting economic policy?

I have done nothing of the sort. That’s how you people operate. Twisting other people’s words to get a gotcha line.

Ah, the good ole disclaimer. Let me guess, you're just "concerned, bro"???

Since my vote means Jack shite, I have not concerned myself at all. Hence I don’t even know who I’m voting for. I’ve already said this. Doesn’t mean I won’t call you sheep out for being sheep.

I'm sorry LA and NY doesn't get to disenfranchise the votes of others. Those pesky founding fathers and their foresight. Damn them!!!


Oh I love this argument. So if my company relocates me to NY or LA, part of the deal is that my vote doesn’t count for shite? How fair is that?

All this bragging about 401k is BS. Lets say you had $700k at start of Bidenomics term. You now have $900k. You think its great.

Inflation over 4 years at around 33%. So $700k when factoring inflation would need to be worth $931k just to break even. If its worth $900k then I lost money in relation to inflation.



First, cumulative inflation has been a little over 20% since January of 2021.

Second, 700k invested in a market index on January 2021 isn't worth 900k today. It's worth more like 1.1M after dividends are reinvested.

I feel like it's pretty common knowledge Cheney did a hell of a lot over W's 8 years. Are you serious?

Your vote counts for a whole lot. But those two cities don't get to decide President of the entire country. Who the frick would want that?

It’s unimportant to me because my vote will basically go in the trash. The socialist EC system ensures that only 6-7 states ultimately choose who is president.

Sounds a lot better than two cities, but I must be a socialist

I don’t know why geography means so much to you people. A vote is a vote, no matter where you live. Everyone in this country should have an equal say. The FF’s fricked this one up.

Both will continue to kick the can down the road.

Kamala will never be able to do her price controls because so many people smarter than her realize how damaging they will be.

Whoever gets elected in 2024 will end up being a scapegoat.

Ok gents. Nice banter. I have some work to do. We can all sleep better knowing that, no matter who wins, the economy will probably be fricked.

Cheers.

Roger, I’ll give you this one. At least you’re independent minded. I just wish more free thinkers had the testicular fortitude to think outside of D and R and put their vote to use.

I'm not the most popular guy on the poli board, for this reason.

But its impossible to put blame on one and not the other, but we've got to realize neither has a plan to get us out of this.

Trump wants to grow the economy (cant grow enough to cover inflation withougt accumulating more debt) and Kamala wants price controls.

Both are worthless ideas.

So Harris' experience adds absolutely nothing to her qualifications. So what are her qualifications then, exactly?

Your presence in this thread says otherwise.

I thought you said you weren't voting for POTUS? Now you are you are just "undecided"? And you clearly suffer from TDS so i think we can safely assume it isn't for Trump, correct?

It does count, towards the electoral votes provided that state. Why is the electoral college so unfair, for you?
