US government records $160.3 billion April surplus

1) no, no we haven't...in fact even President Bill Clinton ( a Dem) said just the opposite
2) I have yet to see you post any data to support your claim
3) I did....I didn't see any post from you showing it was wrong, and frankly not sure how you would know what I'd purchase and not purchase.

 

In an effort to glorify POTUS, they don't want to understand, however, had Obama been POTUS, no doubt they would be using percentages and inflation calculators.

 

I’ve proven otherwise.

You know that is false.

Then you didn’t go back and read it.

 

1) Well then, you should run for President for your party....they'd be glad to vote for someone that knows more about running a nation then Clinton.
2) No, I've reviewed your post...never once have I seen you post all the economic data
3) I did....maybe you should help me....truly I don't see it on this thread

 

Its all in the C.J. gresinal voting record, which I’ve provided numerous times.

You know that is false.

No you didn’t.

 

Can't dispute my numbers, so you have to make up a strawman? Not surprising. However, why don't you actually give it a try and show me with math that my estimates are wrong? I am willing to listen to a well-thought out argument. I am waiting.

 

I can dispute your numbers....we had more then 2 percent growth, and I have made more then 2 percent as my income. Pretty easy

 

Didn't read the article you cited, did you? It says tax revenue is up 1.2% for the fiscal year compared to last fiscal year. Yet, economic growth was about 3%. Thus, tax revenue SHOULD have been up 3%, but it was not. The missing roughly 2% are made up by borrowing, i.e. sticking the bill to future generations.

 

And thank me they shall by Making America Great Again. What’s wrong with that?

 

Incoherent my old, bony, hairy ass! You got my message loud and clear

 

LOL! You call this disputing my numbers? Weak! Maybe give it another REAL try, if you can.

 

Yes, it was perfectly clear you wish to post incoherent ramblings.

 

Whatever tickles your fancy, my friend. Now, say the your last word, and we’ll be through with you for a day

 

Ramble on

 

Me and Trump together, yes siree!

 

But it’s a simple fact.

 

No it isn’t. We had 2.9% growth after the tax cuts. They is 4% less growth needed to break even.

 

President Reagan got massive tax cuts passed and during his administration federal revenues increased dramatically.

 

This post is simply ignorant. Of math, logic and everything else.

 

Here's my claim;

From Jan 2006 to Dec 2006, average revenue per employed equates to $22,247, adjusted to inflation

From May 2018 to April 2019, average revenue per employed equates to $21,476, current dollars

Method of calculation

a. Jan 2006 - Dec 2006 cumulative receipts divided by number of employed Dec 31st, 2006, adjusted to inflation
b. May 2018 - April 2018 cumulative receipts divided by number of employed April 30th, 2019, current dollars

Thus, a fair comparison.

In other words, since Jan 2007, adjusted to inflation, the average revenue per employed has declined by $771

REFUTE!

 

A 12 month period compared to a one month period?

 

Yes, and thank you, @MolonLabe2009, for finding this and posting it.

 

Break even from what?

 

Not only that, but were the figures adjusted for inflation? It isn't Trump that causes inflation. It's the federal reserve printing money. They are fairly independent, though controlled to some extent by Congress. There needs to be some research into the amount of money printed then vs. now. Well, that's my uneducated opinion.

Congress is a pain in the neck. We need better House members. Let's vote them out of office.

 

You claim that lowering taxes lowrs revenues, correct? Therefore, by your reasoning, raising taxes would increase revenue. Os there a cut off limit where higher taxes means less revenue for the government and, if so, what is the limit you would recommend?

What Obama program do you feel created the Obama economic boom for eight continuous years?
