TRUMPONOMICS: Tax Revenues Up Big After GOP Tax Cut

So there it is. Your idea of an economy on the upswing is working at the same meager wage for eight years flipping burgers. My idea of an economy on the upswing would be:
Year one: Get the job flipping burgers
Year two: Work your way up to manager and get a pay increase
Year three: Start looking for a better job with your new skill set and work experience.
Year four: Get a job in an upscale restaurant with increased pay
Year five: Move up to manager in restaurant with increased pay
Year six: Start saving money to open your own restaurant.
Year seven: same as above
Year eight: Buy a little hole in the wall Cafe and get your own business up and running

So here we see the difference between how liberals and conservatives think and why liberals think Obama's economy was fine and conservatives think it stunk.

 

@rahl, you need to understand these are the same people that think a .4% reduction in unemployment is something to brag about.

 

No, my idea of an economy on an upswing, is exactly what I pointed out.

and people do this. But there are an infinite number of things that can and do prevent people from being able to do this.

yes, liberals deal in reality, facts and logic. Conservatives can't even grasp the fact that 1.9 is greater than 0.

 

He doesn't know he's behind. He thinks he's on a steady upswing.

 

No, you are incorrect. If year one is zero, and year two is higher, and year three is higher still...that's a steady upswing.

2009 -2.8
2010 2.5
2011 1.6
2012 2.2
2013 1.7
2014 2.6
2015 2.9
2016 1.5

That's not a steady upswing.

 

No, actually he's right.
Real GDP is adjusted for inflation, so anything above 0 shows growth.
It's in the fine print.

 

They do?? Well I call a 1.9 % growth average growth. Hey do not look at average look what the actually growth was and what the trend was. If for exampl the first couple years were 7 or 8 % and th,e next few -4% and we hit a 1.9% average we got scruded. If the first couple years were 1.1 or 1.2 % and the the last few drove the average to 1.9% then we haveca slow slow but steady growth.

 

You can reduce deficits of the future by spending less, but to reduce past agreed upon debt, it means you must locate those with government debt and induce them to agree to an early pay back. Democrats do not understand how government debt works.

 

Between 2011 and 2015 were uppers but 2016 was a downer in more way than one.

 

Corporate taxes are always passed down to consumers, thus adding to what they must pay.

 

There you go again telling the truth. Have you no shame sir?

 

To reduce the debt and deficit, the GOP must reduce spending, and the Big Progressive Big Government party won't do that.

 

I was talking about personal income taxes taken out of bonus checks as used to bevwhen Inwas working and got taxes taken out.

 

That by definition, and mathematical fact, is a steady upswing.

 

Naturally any added to our paychecks gets taxed. But I think to Dems that is marvelous.

 

They can't do that. Democrats refuse to allow it.

 

He is not due to the velocity of money in operation. Clearly he does not understand velocity of money.

 

Same with GOP. We have a problem.

 

How can you cut out social security?

 

I can't, and neither can you. Medicare and Medicaid are embedded in the system.

Single payer and reduced DOD would be a start.

 

Then you didn't understand the issue in the first place. The issue wasn't whether there was growth every year, the issue was whether there was a steady upswing of growth.

 

You think GDP growth going from negative 2.8, up to 2.5% down to 1.6% is steady upswing?

Stop using the words mathematical or fact. You have no idea what those mean.

For that matter, don't use "steady upswing."

 

Are all of those numbers greater than 0?

Sorry, but you are wrong, and proven so with mathematical fact.

 

Republicans own the entire federal government. Why haven’t they lowered spending?

 

And as shown, by definition, there was.
