A crack in Fox News' Trump support?

That’s not fair at all. If two people make different amounts of money, you don’t tax one until they make the same.

If they are sending us more than we are sending them, it is a trade war and “we” are losing.

Your simplistic understanding of how trade works is simplistic.

I’ve been very successful financially, taking complex problems, simplifying them and then remedying them with a process that eliminates them. Thank you for the compliment and glad you noticed.

You have an interesting notion of what constitutes a compliment. Carry on.

Higher than Obammy at this same point is being reported.

Guess those pollsters are going to have to raise the numbers polled from your side even more!

No. Obama’s aggregate approval rating on May 5th, 2010 was 48.5% approve; 44.8% disapprove. Trump’s is 44.2% approval; 52.1% disapproval.

Wow…Huge difference between what libs believe was the most qualified president in history and a deplorable liar.

if the numbers have a margin of error plus or minus 3%, trump could be 3% up and Obama 3% down and … Trump’s approval is higher.

It’s all part of my positive, mental attitude.

fill your lifeboat with numbers. Your ship of lies has sunk.

Yeah, filling in the numbers you left out is really a bad thing. What was I thinking.

. The next thing you know, after being called “rocket man”, the leader of North Korea appears to be responding more positively to our wishes than at any time previously. Who’d a thunk it?

Wow. That people buy into this dumb-down version of events, which completely ignores that North Korea’s nuclear test site collapsed, says a lot.

Yup. Wonder how many around here still think Trump deserves that Nobel Peace Prize?

maybe you need more numbers to help you hide the lie.

I only needed to show that some black and brown voters voted for Trump to prove that the assertion “Trumpsters are all about the scary brown people” is a lie.

turns out that “some” is millions. Your millions more doesn’t change that.

Whoa. Nice change of subject. I talk about the numbers you post (and don’t post) and you link me in to some other dude’s post.

Bravo for creativity.

Well you must have butted into an ongoing dialog. How was I to know you wanted your own special time with me?

Make an appointment next time.

Right. New direction. Like $1trillion deficits at FULL employment.

How’d you like the drop in the labor participation rate? When all those that can physically work, do so and are not on public assistance of any kind, the deficit will drop. Until then…“we” are kidding ourselves.

The deficit is exploding. This most recent explosion was due to Trump and the Republican Congress giving themselves a massive tax cut.

It still is. I do not like debt. If by cutting taxes, it will motivate the return of businesses back into our country which will then increase the tax base and reduce our debt, I’m for it. Now…time will tell.

The last sentence is a blatant, ridiculous copout. You do know that Congress had exactly zero economists come before them and testify about their analysis of the forecasts for the tax “reform” bill, yes? Why do you think that was?

Hint: they couldn’t find any economists who figured that the bill wouldn’t explode the deficit. Tax cuts, by definition, reduce revenue. This bill didn’t do anything to change the calculus of businesses, that would make them voluntarily pay MORE in taxes. The only thing “time will tell” is that the forecasts for increased deficits will come to pass. The last time Republicans passed tax cuts with a promise of more revenue based on growth, the George W. Bush deficits were the result.

It makes me wonder: why do you believe the idiot politicians, all of a sudden, in this one case?

Gruber would have advised them. PhD… doncha know.

Are you serious? Economists are like sociologists… everyone has an opinion.

While you still can, you may want to pop on over to the old forum and do a search of pinqy’s posts on the topic. It’s as if you’ve never read them (or participated in threads) even though you’re sporting 43,000 posts.
