    Dream on. I will be ahead by about $15,000. My income generally goes up with inflation. Must be terrible to see republicans get ahead in this world.

    What must be terrible is, when YOU get there, retirement is well deserved, but libs should work till they die, and, SS should be yanked according to Trump and other Nazi's.

    The Nazi characterization gets tiring. That aside, show me where Trump has said SS should be yanked for those already at or near retirement age. Personally, I would have been better off investing what I put into SS, but that had nothing to do with Trump, Obama or Bush, Clinton etc.

    Well first he claimed to have one with his $900B stimulus and shovel ready jobs and then when that failed it became the "well they weren't really shovel ready" and then "there's no magic wand" and the whole "HEY don't blame ME" thing.

    By the way. If you are planning on retiring on SS, you really need to take another look at your retirement plans.

    Trump shouldn't get credit for anything good that happens.

    It's all Obama's fault.

    Half of those I mentioned are not Republicans. Nor are half of those who will pay for their "getting ahead in the world".

    The world will probably not end. But you will have to pay back your part of the handout that you naively think Trump gave you "out of his goodness".... And with a hefty interest.

    "Will" implies some kind of event that cannot be avoided. Pardon me, if I doubt your prognostic ability.

    To you it's "magic', but to most of the rest of us it's just plain Economics.

    I would like to tell you all about Serena Williams who lugs a lot of lard with her to play professional tennis.

    Photos will prove she is laden with lard.

    Serena is black. Very very black. Not Cocoa brown, but black.

    Serena put in enormous time learning tennis at her level of play. She rose well above many whites. Did she win her games whining all day long she was not treated fairly?

    Based on her bank account, one has to understand she lives in luxury. Not teaching school nor working on an assembly line, but she put in endless hours of practice. Her income came to her in chunks. She drew no weekly wage. Nobody adjusted her winnings due to inflation.

    How can you and other Democrats lump her in with the sidewalk dwellers? Those who farted all the way through the 8th grade then stopped going to school. Even the best black family can throw out black sheep. Take the chief of police in Union city. A man working for law and order. Look what his kid did. Do you think the Democrats hateful rhetoric plays a role in this? The more people whine over blacks, the more chiefs kids commit crimes.

    Classical taught economics teaches that inflation is too much money chasing too few goods. Trump boosted the assembly so products will come forth. I see no waiting lines for products. Not even new cars. Those who are weak have problem Those like James who is my grandson not yet graduated from college rake in over $115,000 to start and he is just 20 years old.

    Take a man who wants to be an actor. What must he do to be like Brad Pit? Wait for government or do it himself. Acting is just faking it, but still it pays well for the few at the very top. The deal is for those on the bottom to work up to the top. You can't mandate good acting, it is a skill Do you get a way for poor to move up?

    The cry of the poor boils down to them saying this. I can't. It is too hard. I must work

    The problem facing leftists is that Blacks will have no inclination to remain on the Dem Party generated plantation and live on the welfare system and vote for the Left if huge numbers of them have access to jobs that were made possible by GOP policies. Oops!

    Was the above paragraph supposed to make any sense? Or did you just feel the sudden urge to throw in .... words?

    Lol.

    So he doesn't get credit for growing the economy beyond that of Obama, but would be responsible if the economy loses.

    Honestly, you don't see an issue with that perspective?

    I pin down Democrats and their way to fight back is a shrug of the shoulders, a fist against their forehead with a huge ... hell, I dunno.

    Prices don't raise because people have more money.

    I think the issue here is, your views on everything are exactly opposite of most conservatives. It's clear why we have such an issue even coming to a constructive dialog.

    Lol.

    Good god.

    Potholes are already everywhere, TSA already sucks, the post office is pathetic, and our taxes are continuing to get raised with new creative taxes everyday that don't solve these issues.

    Government is a disease masquerading as its own cure. Clearly a concept you don't get.
