    revenue increases year over year, unless there is a recession. Cutting taxes, cuts revenues. Math can be hard, I know.
    I know he did. Cleaning up after the GOP is EXPENSIVE.
    of course they did. the recession is a direct result of their policies.
    you've been corrected on both of those points, numerous times.

    As I said revenue is up...more people are paying more taxes...thanks to the GOP policiesthat got Americans black to work.

    He was creating more messes...he didn’t clean anything up.

    Wrong

    You’ve stated incorrect things

    "Some of the positions than can lead to those lucrative salaries include welders, foremen and even some craft professionals, like instrument techs and crane operators, Mulva said.

    Steve Green, vice president of the National Center for Construction Education & Research (NCCER), echoed the potential for construction workers to attain income at, or above, $100,000.

    "I think that all craft professionals are in the mid-to-upper five-figures, and once you add in per diem and bonuses and incentives, it is not uncommon that we have workers making six-figures," he said, adding that often accounts "for a lot of overtime."

    They have little to nothing to do with Trump. Corporations just don't make a whimsical move due to tax cuts, but then I don't expect you to understand such a simple concept.

    the GOP has nothing to do with the economic trend that has been on going for 9 straight years.
    we of course know this is false.
    not wrong.

    you know I have not.

    All skilled positions. I wouldn't hire just anybody off the street to fill any of those positions you've mentioned.

    Sure sure...nothing to do with trump’s policies. Likewise when Obama said they’d never come back, it had nothing to do with his policies

    It's called apprenticeship, a person is hired for way over minimum wage and is paid while training, after three or four years, if smart and they catch on quickly and are willing to work then are considered skilled and without incurring a debt move into the next level as tradesmen where the money really starts flowing in.

    A basic laborer can pull down $30K per year and has her foot in the door to tripling that in a short amount of time.

    There's an old saying "the world needs ditch diggers" it's true and they can make a base pay of $60K per year plus benefits.

    It's reality that doesn't match their MSM programmed narrative they struggle with.

    You don't seem to know the basic facts of the issue.

    "Obama

    • Started Presidency: $11.1 trillion
    • Ended Presidency: $19.85 trillion
    • Increased 78% or 7.5% per year"
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckj...-than-reagan-h-w-bush-or-w-bush/#626d3f011917

    Obama did not double the debt, and as a percentage, the debt has grown much much faster under other presidents.

    I see you're not talking about "doubling" anymore. You strike me as a dishonest debater. Don't expect anymore replies.

    Maybe I missed it. Can you copy and paste the hundreds of thousands of job postings?

    Over his presidency, Trump's debt growth is about 6% over Obama's, but Trump's GDP is about 70% higher.

    And that's why Trump has brought debt to GDP down 1.11% over his first 7 quarters, whereas Obama increased debt to GDP by 4.25% over his last 7 quarters.

    The point of all this is that the GOP was obsessed with deficits under Obama, to the point of marching in the streets. Now the deficit is exploding again- on pace to be over a trillion this year- and all we hear are crickets.

    Where is the Tea Party? Why aren't they protesting? I have a suspicion that it was never about deficits. It was just a convenient way to vent their rage that a black person was president.
