This Is Why WTF Won't Bet Against the Trump Economy

I bitch about Trumps policy because I think long term, they are horrible.

So I have tried to get either of you two to make that bet three years instead of one and even that is not long term but is suffice to win your money should you choose to bet it. . Originally Posted by WTF

There you go again. Nobody said debt doesn't matter. We said YOU don't matter. Nothing you say matters because you're a fraud and a hypocrite - you bitch about Trump's economic policies yet you run away from a simple bet against them! By not taking the bet, you admit those same policies you whine about will succeed. You think we will reach 3%+ GDP growth this year for the time since 2005!

So this thread is about how nothing you say matters. Everyone knows you are a moronic buffoon who is....

ALL HAT, NO CATTLE!

BIGGEST FRAUD ON ECCIE!

Cut the crap. One year at a time. Nobody has the patience to wait 3 years for an outcome. You know that and you're hiding your cowardice behind a stupid counter-bet. Just admit you're a fraud. Everyone knows it anyway. Originally Posted by lustylad

Three years is not long, you been on this site since 2010.

I've said from the start that we may see a bump but it will not last. So three years or are you to chicken? Originally Posted by WTF

LustyLad was spot on. Unemployment in 2019 and the first part of 2020 reached the lowest levels since 1969. And median household income, after stagnating since the Clinton administration, popped way up. The middle class was finally starting to make up lost ground.

Then COVID hit.

Contrary to the opinion of some, Trump did not cause the pandemic.

And did you bet against the Trump economy? Hell no. You piled into energy shares and made a bundle, on paper at least.

The Trump economy was just an extension of the Obama economy. The eccie repubtards won't except the facts. The data is the data.

are you finally ready in this 4 year old bumped thread to take my bet? you know the bet .. you post an article praising Obama's handling of the economy and i post one showing he screwed up. the bet is who runs out of articles first.


it won't be me.

Please explain how I was wrong.

Yall are unabashed hypocrites.

And yes it was 4 years ago I was telling our self proclaimed resident forum economic expert that we may get a sugar bump out of the tax cuts but nothing more.

And please take a look at the last four paragraphs in the original post, about employment. The article was published on February 6, 2018, about a month after the Ryan/McConnell/Trump tax cuts took effect, and before the deregulatory moves by Trump really had a chance to make a difference.

By the end of 2019, unemployment was down to 50 year lows and labor tightness pushed through to middle class incomes, which showed the first big pop upwards in many years. Now I'm not saying that was entirely due to corporate tax cuts that made the USA competitive again, and slashing red tape. But they played a part.
