Tell me again how you want tax payer provided healthcare for all Americans, healthcare for illegal immigrants that are here, student debt forgiven, socialized college, etc. Like I said originally in this thread: YOU HAVE NO GROUND TO STAND ON. You're just partisan cheerleaders, good little NPC's.
Universal healthcare would actually SAVE more money in the long term. Lots of countries have free University education, and they haven't turned into Venezuela. Spending on the RIGHT things (instead of tax cuts for already wealthy people) is definitely fiscally responsible, and would help the economy by for example ensuring people have more disposable income, instead of having to pay for huge school debt or medical bills. Of course, the GOP are not actually interested in the well-being of the masses, as they prove over and over again.

The Trump economic miracle is so amazing and on such a hot growth trajectory that there Fed decided to cut % rates today.

Market then tanks 300 pts. Apparently they were tired of winning.

when they did the tax cut everyone told them they would be stepping on the brakes and the gas at the same time. They didnt care.

And while the looting of America continues, those Democrats policies will become MORE popular, not less.

Ironically the Fed is reversing a mistake they made ~5yrs ago when they started raising rates too quickly even though the recovery wasn't complete and inflation was nowhere to be found.

But they stuck to their guns, eventhough it dragged on growth.

Yet here we are, several more years into the economic expansion that started under Obama, with very low unemp rates and still manageable inflation.... then they just decide to reverse course.

On a side note, what posts can we find from Spidey denouncing the Fed under Obama keeping rates low? Hmm...

Exactly!! These Democratic policies are geared toward the people who are in need and the common citizen! They are not geared towards those who do not need them! As it is the Republicans are tearing apart and looting our country!!

Yea, I know you guys are really fiscally responsible compared to conservatives. Tell me again how you want tax payer provided healthcare for all Americans, healthcare for illegal immigrants that are here, student debt forgiven, socialized college, etc. Like I said originally in this thread: YOU HAVE NO GROUND TO STAND ON.

Okay I will tell you once you take off your white robe and pointed hood,,,,,,,

You should go ask you conservative brothers and sisters, since their the ones crying about how the world is changing and leaving them behind. It may take some self reflection, but hey...that's life.

Cool rant. What has stopped you from succeeding in America?

Ah yes, challenging your bubble means I'm "ranting", just another conservative redefining words to suit their needs.

I am asking you a simple question. In a nutshell, I believe that the left fools people into thinking they cannot succeed, that they need the government to provide for them. So, as a challenge to that line of thinking, I am asking you a simple question. What is stopping you from succeeding in America, having decent health coverage, making decent money..? Why does life scare you so?

Your inability to answer a straight forward question explains why you want everything provided for you. This is a microcosm of things today. You scream that you need more, when asked why you can't go get it yourself you cannot comprehend and cannot possibly come up with an answer. Because the answer is nothing is holding you back here but yourself, and deep down you now that's the truth.

I feel like there was a candidate in 2016 that said everything in America sucks, everyone is dumb, the system is totally rigged and unfair, and he alone could fix it....

We have long established that most of this forum makes more money than you. Your brag thread about your pissant 40 dollar per week pocket change tax cut proved it.

I hope most of you do, and it is certainly possible in the red hot Trump economy. Jobs everywhere, wages up. But that doesn't answer the question, what is stopping one from succeeding in America? If one makes responsible decisions and puts effort in achieving, it is hard to fail. Why are liberals so scared?

And here I thought it was Trump country that isn’t succeeding and voted to burn it down because of it ...

Why are you so intyent on doubling down on a lie that has been perpetrated by the republican party that all americans have the same equal chance to succeed? You know that is a fallacy and totally wrong!!

Is it a lie? Tell me, if someone, any American at all, any race, skin color, sexual orientation, ethnic group, etc. etc. makes responsible decisions and puts effort into gaining a skill, why can't they succeed?

Cool rant. You should go tell conservative 'Murica the same, after all...they brag about their bootstraps. Apparently, lack the mettle to walk the walk.
