Isn't this "wonderful" economy just a phony bubble staged by the Pigs?

Last edited Fri Apr 5, 2019, 04:01 PM - Edit history (1)

I've seen this movie many times before. Giving the entire treasury to the rich fuckers creates an artificial "booming economy."

Then we get the prancing, bloated orange piece of shit crowing about how wonderful everything he did is. What the fuck did he do? Well, he took our future away and gave it to the elite scum. That's for sure.

And he's frantically installing incompetent, right-wing fanatics in the judiciary to strip away all of our rights. He's also stripping away all environmental protection, because "global warming" doesn't exist.

I hate how even the newspeople say, "Well, his economy is strong, so even though he's a fucking piece of shit he's poised for re-election."

This house of cards is going to go down hard. And guess who will be left with the bill? If we survive, of course.

I hate this fucker and the Pukes with the heat of a million suns.

-- "It's the economy, stupid" -- is still true to some extent today. The economy is doing relatively well. Of course, it's not the "bloated orange POS's" doing, but try convincing ignorant white wingers that Obama handed trump a great economy.

We better run on healthcare and similar things to beat trump. More importantly, we better be prepared for a last minute substitute for trump too, in case he drops out under pressure.

under obama.
the jobs created by obamacare were GREAT jobs.
i personally know people who started businesses because they were able to cut the golden handcuffs of healthcare that kept them in their corporate jobs.
if THAT economy had been allowed to keep growing, we would have an actual solid economy now, instead of this potemkin village of gigs and mcjobs.

I'm sure many pigs love having a corrupt, incompetent, lawless government and will do anything to keep it. Showing a profit at the end of the quarter is no doubt much easier if they don't feel pressure to follow environmental or labor laws and don't have to worry about enforcement. And don't forget tax cuts!!!!

We're overdue for another crash/recession/whatever......
and:

"190,410 people were laid off in the first quarter of 2019. This represents a 35.6% increase over the previous year.
CNBC reports that layoffs have now hit the highest level for a first quarter in 10 years. This comes as 2019’s job market begins with a slow start.
The total cuts reached 190,410, which is a 10.3 percent increase from the fourth quarter. It is also a 35.6 percent increase from a year ago. This is the worst period since the third quarter of 2015 and it is the highest level for a first quarter since the financial crisis was still affecting the economy in 2009."
