It was a minor joke based on his incessant claims that I am lying about my job and my income.
He was offended by it, but whatever.

Now why are you going to lie to the man. I gave you shit about your job by saying you invent fraud to prosecute innocent people with. Like saying your job is to prosecute fraud... if there is no fraud then you no jobbie. SO, I claimed you invent the fraud. I don't recall any claims about your income. But is it really important to the story of the fraud you create to keep your job?

If you look at the chart, it has been over 4% since he took office. Do you think they are simply fabricating all these numbers and our economic history to make Trump look bad?
If so, then any discussion is moot.

Yet a HIGE talking point for Trump is how great the stock market did while he was POTUS. So, do we consider it a metric for both Biden AND Trump, or do we simply ignore it?
As far as "getting rich" - I know you are a government employee and may be affected less by it, but almost every worker in the US is impacted in some way by the stock market. Retirement accounts. Insurance plans. Corporate profit sharing. Bonuses. Payroll. And so on.
If the markets weren't relevant, no one would care if they crashed.

Depends on what drove the gains in the stock market: growth, increased productivity, new technologies or inflation.

Illegals most certainly get Medicaid. I just spent a month entering and verifying their Medicaid benefits.

You're approving federally funded Medicaid for illegals, other than emergency coverage?
What department is this being issued through? I think the Feds might like to have a word...

The wall failed because Biden/Harris practically invited people to immigrate here illegally. When our policy regarding illegals is just claim asylum if you get caught here illegally, they've basically opened to borders and it's pissing people off. The fact that we're footing there medical bills, feeding and housing these people while Vets are in the streets is absolutely insane.

It's Biden's fault that the wall failed during the Trump administration, when he couldn't even fund the project that he had no plan in place to fund, and then stooped so low as to do what was essentially a GoFundMe to try to pay for it it?
The medical bills. Can you show me proof of an illegal being approved for FFMA in Colorado, without violating any privacy laws?

As for Trump's track record vs the current administration, the voters clearly have more faith in Trump and handed control of the Senate and House to Trump/GOP. IIRC, governors races were 8-3 in favor of the GOP.

The minority won. What can I say?
I'm not sure why it's a huge victory to have the minority control the country, but I guess that's the way it is.
Hopefully we can eventually roll us back to the British rule that our forefathers worked so hard to escape from.

Will be fun seeing a black market arise for condoms, while you can buy weed in the local grocery store, lol.

Do these prove or disprove this argument on wages? I bet the wage increase is directly related to inflation... what happens when inflation comes down... will wages level off or fall off?

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

This is what I predict. Inflation will come down, prices will drop. Employers will no longer be able to afford or be willing to afford paying employees the inflation wages. Employees will be let go and will have to take lower paying jobs. Wages come down nationally by default.

Allegedly.

Actually, Willy admitted it to be true.

You seem to really want to go back down the path of the insult game, but you simply area a failure at it.
Why do you even try?

You think that when inflation continues to drop, people will be getting pay cuts? Can you show on the graph a point where you think that happened in the past 17 years?

But that means Trumps plan to reduce inflation will hurt the country and the economy.
That sounds like a bad plan.

That's not a minority...

When Democrats outnumber Republicans by 9 million voters, a Republican win will always be a minority win. That's just statistics.

It was emergency coverage. However, in healthcare, when we ignore non-emergent healthcare issues, they often become emergent, so it gets covered one way or another.

It's clearly Biden's fault that illegal immigration exploded during his term. We all watched it unfold in real time and it was no accident.

We don't go off voter registration, we go off of votes. Additionally, you have no way of knowing if voter registration accurately represents voters. Did Joe Rogan rush over DMV to change from registered democrat. I certainly didn't bother changing from independent to GOP. Trump made gains in nearly every demographic; did those people go change their party affiliation? Or maybe it's just the nerve of the DNC to trot out an incompetent person like Kamala and the blue voters couldn't stomach the idea of voting for a person incapable of speaking intelligently.
