Anler Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Unemployment is at a record low, not sure it can go much lower but we cant hire enough people right now. This is why all news is fake, it reads like an anti Obama job report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average US household income is $59,000. 2 adults x $18/hour x 2000 hours/year = $72,000/year Probably need to drink Coors to save enough money for cigarettes though.

Cheaper taxes perhaps, but gas and food is generally higher than Metro areas. Home prices used to be reasonable, at least when I moved here in 1991, now it's like everywhere else, there are homes here over 2 million - 5 million dollars.

He cut the corporate tax rate which in turn repatriated a large amount of investment capital and spurred investment. This of course came with massive deficits. Basically gave a multi year drug fix with a devastating effect on the long term economy. Why no one can see this is totally beyond me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
