    I miss the gas wars of the 50's and 60's. :smile:

    What's left of the American steel industry, they want a trade war and it would benefit America.

    To reestablish the American industrial base the first industry that has to be reestablished in America is the steel industry.

    Trump is making the beltway of America feel encouraged about the future. It's the pompous (lib) elitists' who are the problem (as usual).

    The problem has been one of demand for quite a long time.

    Those in the bottom 3/5ths of the economy have been in (and still are) in recession, though, just within the last year, things have improved with respect to salaries.

    [​IMG]

    Even the 4th fifth is basically where it was 19 years ago with respect to wages.

    Why are things finally getting better? Because all of America is finally seeing it's wages rise, especially the bottom 60% a change that started little more than a year ago.

    The left is hoping for the worst and hoping Trump fails to clean up the mess Obama left him

    THE TRUTH IN THE DATA

    This "phenomenon" has nothing whatsoever to do with the last election.

    Sorry to disappoint you with the boring truth, but the US has been creating jobs since 2010, as seen here (from the BLS here):
    [​IMG].

    The above change occurred because Obama, upon entering office, spiked an escalating unemployment rate at 10% with his ARRA Spending Bill that unleashed around $870B of Public Spending.

    The notion that the New Wave happened economically with the election of Donald Dork is "wishful thinking". What is not wishful thinking is the fact that he will reduce upper-income taxation once again and the rich will get richer and the poor poorer ...

    MOREOVER

    In fact, the above infographic details employment creation from 2012 onward for a select group of individuals between the ages of 25 to 54 years. In fact, the overall E-to-p ratio showed that for the entire group of Americans and regardless of age the BLS infographic is this:
    [​IMG]

    It took two more years for all those seeking employment to actually find a job. We are at almost the point of "full employment" ...

    Not so good news for Trump:



    A new poll from Quinnipiac University in Connecticut — a respected political polling organization — found that just 37 percent of Americans surveyed approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his responsibilities as President-elect. 51 percent disapprove.

    AMERICA'S MONOPOLY GAME

    And the sadness of it all is that, had the Replicants in the HofR cooperated with Obama, then more stimulus spending in 2010 would have achieved in two years the same level of the E-to-p Ratio that we have today - six years later.

    And for what, the political dithering of a party that does not give-a-damn about the poor? One of Trump's first actions will be to reduce upper-income taxation yet again. In a country that has already the lowest overall taxation of any developed nation. (See here.)

    America's Monopoly Game where the rich get richer and the poor can go-to-hell.

    Do not pass Go, do not collect $200 ...

    I don't know well the Trump's policy and effect, but I like discussion about the worldwide economy.

    That was bound to happen. The country has been adding jobs since 2014.

    Only you didn't know? I doubt it.

    Evidence here: BLS - Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey - "Employment-to-population Ratio History"
    [​IMG]

    PS: And the reason the country WASN'T ADDING JOBS BEFORE 2014 is because the Replicants in the HofR refused Stimulus-Spending money from 2010 onward when they took control of the House. They told us that enduring unemployment was necessary because Austerity Budgeting was "priority due to our High National Debt". (They were trying to "sink Obama" with high unemployment in the 2012. Didn't work, did it? We, the unemployed sheeple, paid the price anyway!)

    An interesting fact. The seven richest families in the world control as much wealth as the entire bottom one half of the worlds population.

    "Our people" did not elect Trump. Our-people elected Hillary by a popular-vote margin of 1.5%, or two million votes. Ditto Al Gore, who won the majority popular-vote (with 51 million votes) with a thinner margin of 0.5%.

    Six times in the history of this nation, the Electoral College has caused to elect a minority popular-vote president.

    If Americans want to continue the "myth" of an Electoral College electing validly the PotUS, then of course they can. But they remain the only "supposedly democratic" nation on earth to do so.

    Which begs the question, "In this day and age, do we really need an Electoral College, and if not, why don't we get rid of it?" It is a vestige of an age long-since gone and has no real functionality whatsoever ...
