When all else fails...
How the GOP produced the worst bill since the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850
There’s a reason the tax bill is so unpopular. It’s a terrible idea – arguably, if approved, the worst law to be enacted on Capitol Hill since the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which allowed the return of captured escaped slaves up North to their whip-cracking masters down South.

Looks like Democrats controlled the House and the Senate when the Fugitive Slave Act was passed.
Lol. These people are a walking parody. The guy who's a blue check staffer for Philly.com wrote that and in his Twitter profile, his profile pic is the woman who flipped off Trump on a bike and he has #resist in his bio. Yeah, pretty fair take.
In a very roundabout way, Obama is the best thing that happened to the Republican party since Reagan IMHO.
So, yes, thank you Obama for making crystal clear, the differences between conservatives and liberals.
Obama is still a POS BTW.
Its funny, most democrats admit that the corporate tax needed to be lowered from 35% (one of the highest among first world nations) down to something in the low to mid 20s%. This is needed to make the U.S. competitive and keep companies from moving overseas because of tax treatment. Yet the dems decry this bill as one of the worst things to ever happen.
you won't hear a peep about it. All they will be talking about is how they need more money to be safer. That's what happened in the last one in NY I believe.
Reading the article, it seemed that way since he didn't actually cite anything. He just kept saying the equivalent of, "Ohh, man. This bill is so bad, it's as bad as this natural disaster and it's super unpopular."
State exactly the part of the bill that you take issue with. All I saw was some "Hedge Funds get a break" thing and quoting other Democrats.
And forgive me, if I'm hesitant to trust economic advice from A) Journalists. B) The Dem Party who loves social programs, took us up to $20T in debt, loves to tax the hell out of everyone, loves bringing in migrants to support and has a huge part of their base that loves socialism.
Probably making sure they got to the destination much faster to justify the cost of the project.
The DJIA has risen 25%... in round numbers from 20,000 to 25,000. That 5000 point gain is 25% higher than where it started. A good year by any standard. But as the DJIA rises it requires larger and larger increases to bring equal returns. From 5,000 to 10,000 is a 100% return, from 10,000 to 15,000 is a 50% return, from 15,000 to 20,000 is a 33% return... all 5000 point gains but each has a diminishing return.
In 1975 the DJIA opened the year at 616 and closed the year at 852. A rise of "only" 236 points but it was a 38% gain on the year.
Since 1975 there have been 8 other years with 25% or higher gains...75, 85, 89, 95, 96, 99, 03, 13.
This website here does a good job showing market performance by POTUS.
All this said, I would be careful trying to take credit for market gains as market losses could be right around the corner.
i would be careful making bets as losses could be right around the corner.
do you realize that the DJIA is a grouping of a number of different stocks? no shit that as the number gets higher in order to double it has to gain more. my god dude, you do so much mental gymnastics to justify shit.
there are numerous winners and losers daily, weekly, yearly etc etc in the stock market. .. you dont have to invest in just the DJIA. it would be foolish to do so.
but since you like to do hula hoops to make a point... please tell me another year in which the DJIA has gained 5000 points..ya know, what my original post said. ill wait.
lol yahoo is trying so hard

Worst piece of written propaganda since Mein Kampf.
See? Two can play at that game. Actually I play the game better because my comparison is much more apples-to-apples sensible, whereas his is apples-to-elephants ridiculous. If I had said "Worst piece of written propaganda since the Hindenburg," it would be more like the writer's comparison--and make about as much sense.
You are correct, no Socialist Parties existed in 1850. It took time for the dems to morph into that.
How much hezbollah money did Obama get? Do you think Trump has reopened investigations into this Iran mess? Should obama be directly targeted and investigated?
Looking like Democrats are willing to let Frankens fate be left to the Ethics Committee.
It's obvious as heck. Obama aided and abetted terrorism....
...which, tbh, is not anything new for our presidents, but the way he did, the brashness, etc, is absolutely nuts, and he needs to be investigated.

Obama knows damn good and well nobody is going to do a damn thing about this.
Yep, and Politico, the source, is far from being some "fringe right-wing" website.
This imo is a nice comparison of what libs are trying to do to America. I hope the outcome is the same.

Another day and more corruption from the Clinton campaign.

They were Obama cheerleaders just like most outlets.
I’d say some people near Washington are going to disappear because of that piece.
Pizza delivery man is fired after he honors request from teen to write a dirty joke on the inside of the pizza box. The kids thought it was hilarious but mom didn't.

The House just passed the tax reform bill. Of course there were leftist protesters that had to be removed first. They were chanting "Kill the bill, don't kill us".

I still can't decide if it's comical how easily these people are being used as fools or if it's incredibly sad that these people are actually dumb enough to believe the BS the media/celebrities/politicians are telling them.
