Wonder what happend to our 15% GDP growth?

Well, you guys bitched incessantly about everything Trump did to stimulate the GDP. And then there are the democrats who sued him to stop the growth while you guys cheered them on.

And you also complain every time Trump wants to lower interest rates to stimulate growth.

So how can you bitch about lack of growth when you bitch about every measure taken to achieve it?

Back in the day, MAD magazine had an article titled like, "You can't win with a bigot." No matter what happened in the strip, the bigot found a reason to complain due to his bias. That sounds awfully familiar.

"Genocide Joe" is a political nickname and chant used by pro-Palestinian protesters, progressives, and Arab-American and Muslim voters to criticize former U.S. President Joe Biden.

President Biden rejected the genocide label, maintaining that Israel had the right to defend itself.

They could raise rates to 25% and the only thing it would do is crush what’s left of the middle class. It wouldn’t do anything to lower fuel and food costs so I don’t know why some of you continue to cheer it as if it’s some kind of magic wand. The current iteration of higher inflation is being driven by fuel costs not arbitrarily “low” interest rates

Yeah. Generally oppose Keyensian stimulus. Opposed it when Obama did it too. Why is Trump inmplement Obama-era policies that Krugman touted as awesome?

Trump misusing a temporary authority for tariffs had nothign to do with "cheering" from anyone. Well, maybe Lutnik who had the arbitraged hedge in place to profit over them being declare illegal. Maybe he was cheering Trump on to do it?

Monetary stimulus isn't growth. If it was counterfeiting would not only be legal, but encouraged. The only "growth" monetray stimulus creates is higher bond yeilds.
