    Yup. China bought our politicians, Feinstein is one they bought, but she isn't the only one, then they facilitated the theft of our mfg base by the Chinese, leaving our formerly robust mfg towns wastelands of squalor and drug addiction. These crooked politicians are vicious heartless animals. Feinstein and her Billionaire husband have made Billions working with the Chinese. Can you imagine if someone in the Trump Administration had allowed a chinese spy to work in her office for 20 years while they did billions in business with the Chinese Communists? Poor Jeff Sessions said "Hi!" to the Russian Ambassador and was nearly not confirmed as AG.
    China will not put tariffs on U.S. crude oil. China is the largest U.S. market for crude exports. Experts say China spared U.S. oil because it may struggle to get it elsewhere due to disruptions from other major suppliers.

    China’s decision to take crude oil off the list may signal its realization that the country would have more to lose from a 25 percent tariff on U.S. crude as the supply related uncertainty deepens in the global oil market,” said Jane Nakano, a senior fellow in the Energy and National Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “Denying itself access to U.S. crude would have made crude oil imports more expensive for China and may have triggered energy security concern, especially if world developments drive up the global oil prices.”​

    Nice thinking *******s, that is why Trump said we can't lose a tariff war with any of these free-loaders running massive surpluses on the backs of the American Consumers at the expense of the American Suppliers.

    The recession ended June of 2009 when there were 33 million on food stamps, it rose from there to 48 million over the next 6 years as the unemployment rate rose from 7.5% to 10% and stayed 9%+ for the next three years while Obama twiddled his thumb and said don't blame me.

    How many more went on food stamps when Obama was in office? How many more went on after the Democrats took the Congress in 2007.

    It is a reflection of a continuing trend that began well before Trump got elected.

    Millions. That was because 750,000 people were losing their jobs every month when George W Bush was on his way out. It was the product of the crash that reckless spending, lax regulation, and giving the Wall Street casino clear running room produced.

    As we know, the Trump Administraiton is doing everything to can to recreate the policies that enabled the bankers to drive us off the cliff the last time.

    Ugh at all the leftist opinions trying to claim credit for Obama on the what is it now dozen great things going on with our countries economy at once? All thoroughly debunked in a hundred different threads? At almost two years in President Trumps presidency.. and our country doing great and not slowing down isn't it time to cry uncle?

    I mean what happened to the apocolyspe Yall predicted? The blue wave to fix what now obviously needs no fixing? You guys literally comb the internet in desperation trying to find anything negative and come up with crap like 126 people lost their jobs due too Tariffs.. Meanwhile millions of Americans are getting off one form of welfare and I bet very proud of it too. If positive things are happening under the current political structure which I did say in the past was best why rock the boat? You know.... populist president, super majority GOP in congress ( altho I'd love the far right to get booted) and enough leftists to sqwawk and keep a balance

    It's perfect

    Yes two years after the Democrats took back the Congress when the unemployment rate was a mere 4.5%, but then that job loss rate bottomed out the month Bush left office and quickly receded so what's your point here? Obama said he stimulus would hold unemployment at 8% and it would rapidly fall. Instead it soared to 10% and stayed over 9% for the next three years while the LFPR collapsed under him.

    A trend that started as the Republicans began taking back the government and it is accelerating now.

    Whatever. The long term graphs tell the story very clearly.

    That and the fact that the Trump Administration made no economic moves of any kind whatsoever until November of last year, and that was just to rubber stamp the tax cut bill the Wall Street lobbyists handed to them to sign.

    I am not combing the internet for the facts on these trends. They're not hard to find.
