    Compared to being 100% wrong and not understanding a thing like you, I'll take it.

    So Biden is a liar. Most of what he claimed he would do is a lie. Got it.

    But, but, but, Trump. For years no doubt.

    Who are you to tell someone to live on less?

    The damage Trump did was signing budgets that grew our massive debt. Biden will continue to grow the budget if he delivers on free stuff promises.

    When will Biden build the 500,000 recharging stations for electric cars he promised to build?

    Is that what you think I was saying? Pretty ignorant opinion you have there. Ignorant, like the post I was responding to.

    How will that work in the US? Isn't inflation around 1.8 percent and interest on savings accounts around 1 percent.

    Well during this last election cycle liberals were going to tax the rich and we would all get free stuff. Now, "live on less" will likely become a liberal mantra.

    There are already about 85,000 plugs. I don't see that as a big stretch.

    yes, Trump spent more than any other President in 4 years ever, what did we get for all that spending?

    I would love to see Biden do that and get a infrastructure bill passed

    You're worried about the wrong end of the problem.

    Your last sentence is the truth liberals cannot grasp. Wealth of a nation, per Adam Smith comes from the production of goods and services. Not giving money to people who produce nothing.

    Public education sucks. It deserves the attacks.

    But you'll be pleased to know that Progressives are well on the way to dismantling the Number 1 High Scool in the country.

    And DeBlasio intends to do the same in NYC

    You can have excellence or you can have equality. You can't have both.

    That's it.

    Unless you can show me that Trump's policies have had a positive impact on the trade balance.

    Not to mention that he bought what little economic growth he got on the back of the debt.

    If that's what you want to take from it then it speaks more about you than the 'parable'.

    I am still trying to determine why you said in your Post #100, "We don't want to work 7 days a week for 12 hours a day. Compared to China, we are a lazy country."

    If you had gone to any of the links in Google I recommended that you search, which display results for how long Chinese employees work per week, you'd see that your contention that, by comparison with us "lazy" Americans, the Chinese work "7 days a week for 12 hours a day" is nothing but fanciful, fictional nonsense....

    You refused to even look at the evidence, saying in reply, "No thanks. I am not interested in some fun facts from one who tends to make up stuff." But, I didn't 'make anything up', Dairy.

    And in your same reply you changed your 'view', admitting, "But lemme guess, they have hours similar to America's in weekly hours and OT." What happened to "7 days a week for 12 hours a day"...? 8)

    Anyway, I do appreciate the acknowledgement. :blowkiss:

    To get ANYBODY to pay a "fair share" of taxes, we need to completely replace the existing U. S. Tax Code with one that wipes out ALL loopholes, tax shelters, deductions, exclusions, exemptions, "carried-interest" and all the rest of the bullshit that's been around forever which makes certain that the super-wealthy pay little or nothing in taxation!

    Can you believe that a right-wing Conservative wrote that sentence above...? :above:

    I AM, and, I DID.... Our system of taxation is a damned, dirty, fraudulent disgrace which should be eradicated immediately! But it never will be, because "Fat Cat" Republicans AND "Limousine Liberal" Democrats like the Tax Code EXACTLY the way it is.... 8)

    Constantly amazed at the cognitive dissonance on display here, but at least it's entertaining!

    You have no argument. My life sucks? Did you have an aneurysm? My life is fine. I don't even want the gov't to send me a $600 or $2000 check. I don't need it.
    But hey, if you can't present some post on topic, why not project idiocy. LOL.

    I was working even back in the 1990s. I saw what caused the jobs to leave. And what was in those agreements that sent jobs out of country.
    Reagan was a big big big supporter of getting those trade agreements in place.
    The R party, led by Gingrich, got Clinton to sell out American workers.

    Now, do you have anything to refute those facts? Or you just gonna do what trump does?

    Now to address your issues.
    Gov't's didn't shut down the NCAA basketball tourny. The NBA or the NHL. Those organizations did that.
    Gov't didn't shut down Disneyland or Disneyworld or All the other attractions in Fl or other areas. Those businesses did that on their own.
    Yes, some gov't shut down some restaurants and other businesses temporarily. We had a bailout to deal with that.

    None of those have to do with wage stagnation of the last 30 years and jobs leaving. Now, go back to your trumpism.
