Income trickles up to the 1%. - Rand Corp. Report

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"...notwithstanding lies as promiscuous as the ones he tells about election fraud -- Trump will leave office in January with a historically bad record on the economy.
That sounds discordant since many Americans believe the economic fable that Trump has repeated relentlessly throughout his term. But placing his bottom-line results alongside those of his predecessors paints a deeply unflattering portrait.
Alone among the 13 presidents since World War Two, Trump will exit the White House with fewer Americans employed than when he started. He will have overseen punier growth in economic output than any of the previous 12 presidents.
His throwback "America First" agenda has failed to restore the old economic engine that powered an earlier era's prosperity. On Trump's watch, industrial production has fallen. The Federal Reserve says the manufacturing sector fell into recession in 2019 even before the coronavirus pandemic hit."

"Trump's economic record ranks near or at the bottom compared with other presidents," concludes Moody's chief economist Mark Zandi, who compared the economic results of all presidents from the last 70 years. "The economy under his watch has performed very poorly."

You want to tell me how giving billions to state and local governments is going to stimulate the consumer to spend more and thereby stimulate the economy?...
This is what the fed chief and the economists are talking about:

“What kind of negotiation is it when you go from $3.4 trillion to $188 billion in new money? That is not a negotiation. That is a collapse,” Sanders said by telephone on Monday afternoon. “We cannot go home until there [are] strong unemployment benefits plus $1,200 per adult, $500 per kid for every working person and family in this country."

Over their misinformation campaigns by a voting technology company:

I wonder if the Fox lawyers will default to their usual defense strategy that Fox isn't news, it's entertainment...
Meanwhile a GOP congressman with some balls tells the GOP he's had enough of their BS: https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/14/politics/paul-mitchell-quits-gop/index.html

Breaking: Trump Fires Barr!

Barr sent a very nice letter of resignation, confirming how President Trump had been treated so unfairly and poorly by the media leftists and by dickheads like those over at CNN.

He praised President Trump for his unprecedented and historic achievements that the President achieved in the face of relentless partisan attacks.

He also told President Trump that nobody else could have endured the partisan, deceitful and out of bounds attacks that the leftist machine hurled upon him from day 1.

In his resignation letter Barr began with this:  "I am greatly honored that you called on me to serve your administration and the American people once again, as Attorney General.  I am proud to have played a role in the many successes and unprecedented achievements you have delivered for the American People.  Your record is all the more historic because you accomplished it in the face of relentless implacable resistance.  Your 2016 victory speech in which you reached out to your opponents and called for working together for the benefit of the American people was immediately met with a partisan onslaught against you in which no tactic, no matter how abusive and deceitful, was out of bounds."

Barr offered this praise to the President:  "With Operation Warp Speed, you delivered a vaccine for Coronavirus on a schedule no one thought conceivable - a feat that will undoubtedly saved millions of lives."

Next Barr said this about the President:  "You built the strongest and most resilient economy in American History - one that has brought unprecedented progress to those previously left out.  You have restored American military strength.  By brokering historic peace deals in the Mideast, you have achieved what most thought impossible.  You have curbed illegal immigration and enhanced the security of our nation's borders.  You have advanced the rule of law, by appointing a record number of judges committed to Constitutional principles." 


So anyone with any objectivity at all understands that your assertions are just more of your regular Bullshit lies.  

President Trump and AG Barr had a very good relationship according to those around them.  

President Trump wrote this about AG Barr:   Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job! As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family...

Got any other horseshit to burp up?  
" Earlier in the day, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in an interview on Fox News that Trump had been frustrated with Barr in recent days."
https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/14/politics/william-barr-out-as-attorney-general/index.html
"Another person familiar with the matter said Mr. Barr was growing frustrated with Mr. Trump’s criticism of him while also sensing his job was in jeopardy and resigned to avoid being fired." 
https://www.wsj.com/articles/attorney-general-william-barr-resigns-effective-dec-23-11607986828
It's pretty obvious he wasn't wanted and he resigned to foreshadow the public firing. Obvious to anybody but you...

I have to take back my commentary about you.  Earlier I said you were the dumbest man on A-Mart.

I've changed my mind, you're the dumbest man in all of California.... and that IS saying something!  LOL  tongue
Some people, like Barr, can see the writing on the wall, others, like Davis, can't see it at all...

And Barr retired too because both he and Trump are thrilled with each other and he just wanted to be with his family for the holidays...
