POLITICAL THREAD

[Platinumdrgn]

No, You simply don’t understand what you’re looking at.
Yearly wages grew by the largest percentage in 10 years, last year. Why do you think that is? Because of the types of jobs being filled.

As I’ve argued you with you before, Obama entered office at the best possible time for an incoming president. Everything had bottomed out, so any growth was going to be magnified.
This economy is better for everyone across the board, and I suspect you know it.

no wages grew by the largest percentage in 10 years in February 12 months adjusted which was 3.4%. you need to learn the difference between annual, 3 month adjusted, 12 month adjusted and month compared to previous month. There are many different variations of wage growth. Hourly earnings only increased 1.7% so most of that growth was not for the middle class. And it has almost nothing to do with the "type" of jobs. It is because we have 8 million unfilled positions and nobody to fill them so employers must offer more to compete. wage growth should keep increasing until a recession hits.
Trump became President at a much better time. The wrecked economy was fixed and all he had to do was sit back and not **** it up. If he had come in after Bush he would have actually been forced to do real economic policy work. That means he would have to actually work with congress to pass aggressive bipartisan legislation something he is not capable of doing. He probably wouldn't have wanted to bail out the auto industry and that would have pushed us into a depression. He also wouldn't have been able to spend his entire Presidency fear mongering on immigrants so would have been no fun for him.

All of this data is on the bls website, you need to learn how to digest it. or you can get good info from the ATL fed, they break down all of the economic data releases.

How did the science teach us about income inequality.

Stop being afraid and embrace us.

Does anybody still want to deny that these communist are using Climate Change as their vehicle to come to power?

The only 97% number that I can verify is that 97% of Democrats are idiots.

97% seems 3% too low.

Isn't socialism wonderful?

Scary to think there are people out there who will vote for people like her. The media and college campuses have brain washed a lot of people.

It wasn’t previous month,it was prior year.

Listen, as I stated it is the best growth in wages in 10 years.
It is the “type” of jobs, there wasn’t the competition for jobs we have now when Obama was President.

You do t seem to understand that no matter what Obama did or didn’t do the economy had no where to go but up,and he damn near effed that up. The fed keeping interests rates at zero for damn near his entire presidency saved his ass. Longest recovery in history ring a bell?
Why the hell do you think there’s 8 million infilled jobs? Because the economy is rocking, that is a perfect situation for workers.
Trump isn’t fear monger if about immigrants, he’s stated on more than one occasion we want immigrants, legal immigrants. There’s a difference.
You can bitch and moan about Trump all you want, but he’s the best President since Reagan.

Fascism per usual but if people are cheating on their residency after enabling the idiocy up there I got no problem with them feeling some pain. Also this quote has been out there for a few weeks but has gotten no coverage other than conservative outlets.

“I was paying $10,000 a year in real estate taxes up north. I’m paying $600 a year in Florida. It’s stress-free down here.”

— Blanca Ocasio-Cortez

 

[Levibooty]

Limiting taxes on the very wealthy and big business has resulted in extreme differences between .01% of the population and everybody else. Throughout history, this scenario has led to revolution and class war (populism). Both the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution were the result of extreme differences between the rich and the poor. Billionaire Nick Hanauer has warned his fellow billionaires that the reckoning is coming in his article “The Pitchforks are Coming.” Olivia Huffington, founder of Huffington Post has spoken about this outcome on radio. ---

So the story and pertinent pic of itemized bill shows a couple is charged $40. for being given their newborn to hold. Further investigations show couples being charged $85. to write down the babies name chosen by the parents. Capitalism run amok.

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggests America is "garbage"

 

[truebluewildcat]

You do realize intelligence doesn't always equal ability to run something, lead people, or that your ideas are great for everyone.

I bet I could find a number of Pubs on the hill with impressive college transcripts who you don't put a lot of stock into...

I had smart professors in college with resumes and academic accomplishments out the ass...many would be hard pressed to run a hot dog stand or lead a boy scout troop...

A smart person promoting socialism doesn't make socialism any more appealing or change the history of it.

Pretty sure I can find a "genius" out there who could make a case for eugenics...their intellect doesn't necessarily mean we should follow them down that path...

there are terrorists out there with engineering and economics degrees...

Pretty sure Putin is pretty smart...

 

[Levibooty]

Strange how people who cannot follow a conversation by intelligent women ask how or why do people listen to these women. Actually it's not all that strange but it is symptomatic of a mind stunted by repetitive stimuli that follows a daily ration of watching Fox News or other filtered sources of information. Research shows the characteristics of the misinformed as opposed to the uniformed and a correlation between the misinformed viewers and Trump supporters. For me the bothersome thing is how comfortable people are with being wrong.

 

[DidneyWorl]

AOC is the dumbest broad elected to gov't. That twit couldn't operate a light switch.

 

[DidneyWorl]

AOC is also a fraud. She's a power hungry bitch who needs to stick to serving men alcohol in skimpy clothes. She's useless human worth other than to serve men.

 

[Levibooty]

BTW Research has also shown when people are told they are wrong, even presented with evidence, they cling more tightly to their views. You just cannot make a case for that being intelligent.

Usually people who think they are smarter than everyone else have inflated self egos and poor self esteem and actually are less intelligent.

It’s not your job to change human behaviors, and it’s scary to even suggest crap like that.

As far as green energy....freakin Pike County, KY (omg hillbilly oil racists!!!!) is moving forward with a large solar project sponsored by Toyota. So who do we thank for that progressive movement? Sure can’t be Bevin or Trump, that’s for sure. Those racist pos would never allow progress like that.

So if that is happening in Pike Co, I’d imagine solar is making strides all over the country. Stfu Dems. We as a country are making great progress because we have a progressive president who is not entrenched in stupid left/right politics. He’s not trying to change humans, he’s empowering them, helping them do great things, not stepping on their necks.

So everything Fox says is filtered and those who watch it are misinformed, but the news coming out of other media outlets is the way to enlightenment?

It's not about the news man. It's about the direction some want to take this country. You don't need Ivy league level genius to understand that the radical wing of the Dem party is bad overall and in the long run.

It's got nothing to do with the (R) or (D) by a person's name or which way a media group, publication, production may lean.

You don't have to watch the news to know that the ideals the far left wing are taking up are bad for the country.

People are leaving NY, California, Chicago. The mass exodus from Dem ran states or cities is a real thing. Why? Are all of those millions of people misinformed?

Misinformed, yes, because when they get to their new state they vote for the same dam things they just left. Dimwits still vote for Dims.

 

[BigBlueDave]

Welp, they're all in now when they'll defend AOC's intelligence.

Are you going to defend that sham of an economics degree?


How about 43?

Dubya had a B.S. from Yale and a MBA from Harvard. He was also a fighter pilot.


But sadly, a dumbass. Right?

This is actually the primary reason communism doesn't work.

Everything else is just an offshoot of this.

Media consumption does have a significant impact on a person's level of knowledge. Fox News viewers are the least knowledgeable of all news viewers, less informed than even people who watch no news at all. I'd say that qualifies as misinformation, wouldn't you?

Your argument is spot on for the right. Because if anti-intellectualism makes a great leader, you've definitely got the man in place that the right wants. Realease his tax returns? He won’t even release his college transcripts. Putting together a chain of coherent thoughts just doesn’t happen. He’s the least intellectual president In US history despite his claim of being a “very stable genius”.

 

[truebluewildcat]

Just because folks aren't up on current events doesn't mean radical liberalism is a good thing.

Okay. Fox viewers are "misinformed" on news and events.

A current events poll proves absolutely nothing other than the people polled knowing or not knowing some random questions about events.

The bigger issue is why there is a mass exodus from liberal ran states and cities. That's real polling. People saying "this shit ain't working... I'm out..."

Says the guy who lusts after a Kenyan with fake college transcripts.

Obama is the least intellectual president of all time and it's not even close. Plus, he married a tranny

No it doesn't, and this is part of the reason you scientifically illiterate are so gullible and easily swayed by agenda driven science.



It is flat out do not pass go, 100% non sequitur.... I will explain to you in detail why, but only if you genuinely want to know why or can't actually use your own intelligence to separate from ideological bents why you can't just jump to the conclusion from the data that you do.
