"The democrats are the party of fiscal responsibility"
Haha you have to be dumber than a doorknob to believe that.

Yeah, That's just not a lie. That's a GD lie.
I have never heard a bigger lie than that. It's a bigger lie than Platinumdrgn's lies and fake news.
Maybe they are competing to see who can create the biggest lie.
That meme was a level of dishonesty that has never been reached on here.
Clinton getting credit for the dot com boom. Claiming Obama saved the economy and had a good economy. Lol
And ignoring that Obama took us to $20/21T in debt. More than all presidents combined. Well done

I slept through most of my economics classes in college but one thing I distinctly remember is that, for multiple reasons, 4% unemployment rate is the ultimate target for a healthy economy in the US.
My question is this...now that we have achieved 4% how do we keep it hovering around that number?

Many on the left struggle with critical thinking. They have a hard time formulating an opinion without going with what they hear through the news. Its kinda sad but some people are born stupid.
NBC News has this pinned to the top of their twitter page haha
Would they ever pin up anything good about America?
I’m not going to look but I bet the comment section to that tweet is going to be insane.
The Charlottesville was fabricated they let the 2 factions have at each other so they could use the event as evidence to legislate.
If haven't seen it, go find that journalism thread on the football board to see what that dumb whore had to say.
I think it is going to take a large attack on Israel for jews in this country to wake up. Or maybe they just don't care and it wouldn't matter.
Imagine being this guy and making what he thinks is a valid point....lol.
Blue check mark of course
I've always been so confused at why so many jews vote democrat. The dems time and time again openly support anti semites. Hell most jewish dems didn't even speak out against the Iran deal.
![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
Game over.
It’s not even fair at this point, and HES NOT EVEN BEEN PRESIDENT FOR 2 YEARS. Unbelievable.
Democrats might as well go all in on sharia law. They’re not going to have any base left but terrorists, criminals, and super woke/super rich/super educated/super white people.
Charlotteville was a paid op put on by liberals. Notice how new the flags look. Brand spanking new. Bet they are all bought by a Soros orgn
And this "Unite the Right" is being formed by a liberal and verified Clinton and Obama voter. Jason Kessler.
Remember ol' Didney called this when Fakenumdrgn posts his fake news about "white supremacy" when it happens.
Jason Kessler is a liberal

Good, maybe more of them will see this and realize that if you break the law you could be separated from your family. Happens to legal Americans every day.
For your Saturday afternoon entertainment from Investor's Business Daily. Here ya go, fuzz:
"Economic Boom: Media Rewrite History To Credit Obama Instead Of Trump
Growth: The stronger the economy gets under President Trump, the more desperate his critics are to hand credit over to Obama. Even if that entails changing the past.
A recent New York Times story![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")
says it all: "An Economic Upturn Begun Under Obama Is Now Trump's To Tout."
The article begins by admitting that "by nearly every standard measure, the American economy is doing well," then spends the next 1,400 words arguing that the current good times have nothing to do with Trump's economic agenda.
The economy, reporter Patricia Cohen declares, "is following the upward trajectory begun under President Barack Obama."
Upward trajectory?
We seem to recall that the economy was stagnating in 2016 after the weakest recovery from a recession since the Great Depression.
In fact, The New York Times itself described Obama's economy this way in August 2016: "For three quarters in a row, the growth rate of the economy has hovered around a mere 1%. In the last quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, the economy expanded at feeble annual rates of 0.9% and 0.8%, respectively. The initial reading for the second quarter of this year, released on Friday, was a disappointing 1.2%." (Talk about lack of self awareness. Good grief.)
GDP growth decelerated in each of the last three quarters of 2016.
And on January 27, 2017, after the government reported that GDP growth for all 2016 was a mere 1.6% — the weakest in five years — the Times announced that "President Trump's target for economic growth just got a little more distant." (All the more reason he's doing so great, fuzz.)
That same month, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office forecast growth this year would be just 1.9%.
There were other signs of stagnation as well. Stocks had flatlined in 2016, with major indexes down slightly. Real median household income dropped that year, according to Sentier Research.
Growth had been so worrisomely slow throughout Obama's two terms in office that journalists started warning about "secular stagnation." They said the country was in a period of long, sustained, slow growth resulting from slow population and productivity growth.
In August 2016, the Times declared that "the underlying reality of low growth will haunt whoever wins the White House."
Predictions of Slow Growth
The next month, CBS News reported that "with U.S. economic growth stuck in low gear for several years, it's leading many economists to worry that the country has entered a prolonged period where any expansion will be weaker than it has been in the past."
In short, there was no upward trajectory to the economy on anyone's radar when Trump took office.
Now that the economy is outperforming everyone's expectations, Trump's critics want to pretend that the current boom was already baked in the cake.
We are the first to admit that the impact of federal policies take time to show up in the economy. But the fact is that optimism surged across the board as soon as pro-growth Trump won the election over stay-the-stagnant-course Hillary Clinton.
Now, after Trump's deregulation and tax cuts are starting to take effect, we're seeing still more signs of stronger growth.
Polls show that the public gives Trump credit for what's going on today.![[thumb2]](https://ct.yimg.com/mr/uploads/891/1684387.png "Thumbs Up 2 [thumb2]")
They, not the mainstream press, have it right.
