As for the shovel ready jobs there are 2 flood prevention dams within a few miles of my house that were revamped with that money, the Promton Dam, and the Jadwin Dam, the 3 largest construction companies in my area only had stimulus money work. The decades of pissing money away giving money away is 100% tied to inflation/the economy. And the cost of fuel is because of the speculators are not deff they can also here what the administration says and see what they do . Promises being kept on the fossil fuel front at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promises being kept on the fossil fuel front at least I think you were saying the interest wasn't being paid until 2017, fact is the original stimulus was still being paid out through 2017. I would think if you were so worried about the less than 1 trillion in stimulus back then, the 3 trillion would have you really upset. The oil companies lost a ton of money in 2020 now they are making it back. In April of 2020 OPEC +2 made the largest cuts in oil production in history that and the sanctions on Russia play a huge part too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the 4th quarter GDP in 2019 during this booming economy with a manufacturing recession? You do realize the GDP in 2015 was as high as at anytime during your orange Gods term, gas prices were lower than any time pre pandemic, so was the debt and deficit. Yes I do and I stand by that interest rates were held too low for far too long. I was also critical of Trump when he went after the Fed to lower them. I understood why he wanted that because it put us in a bad position worldwide as virtually everyone else was dropping rates and our strong dollar made buying from the US very expensive. Dude the mfg recession was extremely mild and a product of many things. Obama lost mfg jobs and Trump recovered them. I suppose you already know that though right? GDP in 2015 was solid. Funny how you cherry pick one year. The economy was never terrible under Obama after around 2011-12. Its very resilient.

Just pointing out that the booming economy you were bragging about was no better than before, despite record debt and an increase in deficit, not to mention it never came near the 4.4% GDP needed just to cover the tax cuts. You mean those jobs from Ford and other companies who had already planned to come back and Trump took credit for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance how Obama's energy plan increased domestic energy production more than previous administrations with benefits leading in the Trump administration.

We will probably have to pay that bill sometime before we pay for biden's stimulus and some time after we pay for obama's stimulus. When are those coming due?

Actually I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears say he would have spent more, Trump or any other president can refuse to sign any spending bill, Trump gets the blame the same as you blame Obama and Biden. Trump also wanted to give money to the cruise ship industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember, the real people that win are always the people with the most to lose in the stock market etc and every one of these stimulus packages helped those people.

Want me to post the video where David Gregory stumps Obama's David Axelrod on the fact that most increase in oil production Obama benefited from was from actions of the Bush administration? I recall Axelrod even admitted as much. Do you have any idea how long it takes to go from permit to production? Damn you people are dumb. Obama played energy beautifully. He could play both sides of the fence. See production is up to please the right then show permits are way down to please the left.

How about the thousands of manufacturing jobs lost during the 2019 manufacturing recession, one factory in our area lost 1000 fulltime jobs with benefits, and another half dozen or so went belly up too, of course this had to be bad management and nothing to do with tariffs.

You are taking a very narrow view. Mfg jobs in my area stayed extremely strong thru 2019. Overall Trump was very good for mfg. even with an extremely strong dollar which hurts exports.

The point is you brought up gas prices during "Trump's booming economy," I pointed out that Trump's best years GDP was never any better than 2015 when gas prices were lower, debt was less, and deficit was smaller, this despite deregulation, tax cuts that brought on record debt and higher deficits.
