Zeus 01/28/20 7:20:02 PM #57:	streamofthesky posted... Trump constantly talks up how great the economy is. If you disagree, take it up w/ him. Not even Trump in all his hyperbole is claiming that it's as good as you seem to think it is. streamofthesky posted... And what minimum wage increases? The ones happening throughout the country, including areas which have a path to $15/hour. streamofthesky posted... Companies aren't keeping more of their money b/c they have to pay a little extra to min. wage staff. Rather than hire people or increase wages (as you said, stagnant), they're plowing unprecedented levels of cash into their own stocks, buying them back to artificially inflate their value, using near zero interest rates (courtesy of Trump's Federal Reserve) to keep pumping more money in. No, wages aren't increasing because the economy isn't as good as you pretend. It's better than it was under Obama, sure, but that's a pretty tiny hurdle to jump. streamofthesky posted... 2) Zeus spewing utter bull shit? I'm shocked! Shocked! well, not that shocked... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-economy-budget/u-s-governments-annual-budget-deficit-largest-since-2012-idUSKBN1X426T The deficit is at a trillion dollars ($984 billion, close e- fucking -nough) It hasn't been that bad since THE HEIGHT OF THE GREAT RECESSION and since Trump took office has nearly doubled from the $585 billion in Obama's last term. Stream streaming utter bullshit? I'm shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked! You said "trillions." Plural. Meanwhile you're rounding up to a single trillion.
