Trump and Russia


Recommended Posts

 

Economy rolling along, isis getting pounded, but this Russia thing keeps hanging on. We hate good times Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

 

Are you seriously crediting Frump for all of that? Well the first 2, the latter is all his fault. Russia if you are listening ...

 

What is Russia's end game? Trump seems to be very good for the economy which I doubt russia wants....but maybe they do since I'm sure Russians invest their money over here. It's almost like the left wants a war with russia. Sort of opposite of the traditional right wing war hawks you hear about. Give me a reason Russia would want trump in power and not Hillary.

Good question, what is the Russia game. My guess is that it is the same as it has been for decades.

Trumps economy is 6 months old riding a high from the last administration. (Yes I know you hate to hear that but its the truth)

 

When Donny boy actually does something great I'll cheer him on. I won't be his toady.

Reasons Putin wants Trump, this is not an exhaustive list:

 

Sanctions relief--Trump has tried and failed so far

Sow discord among NATO allies, sadly, this is working

Stop the promotion of western values like democracy--totally working, Trump has turned State department into a joke

Putting a mole in the WH--you can judge that for yourself with intelligence, trying to share cyber security

Weakening US--mission accomplished

Oh, hey look, suddenly a Russian money laundering case was settled unexpectedly! Nothing to see here

A high coming off the slowest economic recovery in history?

Russia Sanctions Measure Stalled by GOP Over Energy Provisions

Put the crack pipe down and step away from the table.

 

Please.

 

The more factual statement

 

slowest economic recovery in history after a the depression we faced at the beginning of 2009.

 

Companies are stingy. They want and get tax cuts, but they do little in the way of pay increases for their employees.

You're out of your element when discussing the economy.

 

Please explain exactly how the 2009 financial collapse was like the Depression

I read several headlines and articles saying it was worse than the 1930s while it was going on.

GG, with all the ignorance you spew you have no right to say anyone else is out of their element.

Thank the federal government for not allowing it to get that bad!

Entered as evidence that you know absolutely nothing about the way businesses invest, or the business cycle.

 

Yes, the slowest economic recovery in history coming out of a recession. When the hell else would an economy recover? What else would it recover from?

 

The truth is that the United States economy goes through a recession roughly every 5-8 years, some worse than others. The most recent recession wasn't the worst ever. It arguably wasn't as bad as the double dip of the 1980's. It certainly wasn't as bad as the Great Depression, and yet economic growth coming out of the recession was the worst ever, despite adding 10 trillion dollars to the national debt.

WOW what a way to spin. But thanks for trying hard to validate your point. yet .....

So, by the analysis you provided we are due for a recession this year and it won't be Donnys fault

Presidents aren't to blame for the recessions nor credit them with recoveries. Just a cog. Bigger cogs than you or me but still just cogs. Edited by Benjamin Franklin

I'd quibble with that. POTUS can have a greater effect on a recovery than on a collapse. Like putting in growth stifling regulations at the outset of a recovery and increasing the cost of doing business.

This is an oversimplification.

 

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/nov/10/chris-christie/christie-us-worst-recovery-wwii/

 

Christie said the United States is in the worst economic recovery from a recession since World War II. Christies campaign did not respond to our request for comment.

 

The truth is it depends on what you measure.

 

Looking at GDP growth, hes right. Looking at the employment picture, the 2001 recovery was worse.

 

Christies claim is partially accurate. We rate it Half True.

Tara Sinclair is chief economist at Indeed and economics professor at George Washington University.

 

"We've just passed 61 months of consistent employment growth, and longer if you just look at private employment," Sinclair told PolitiFact. "On that metric, the recovery is the longest since WWII, so that hardly seems the worst. On the other hand, the recovery has been notably slow, and we are not back to the trend level of GDP or employment that we would have expected without the recession."

 

Sinclair added that even in terms of GDP its hard to call this the worst recovery because the country is emerging from what economists count as the deepest recession since World War II.

And you want to know how I found this information? I googled three words - "slowest economic recovery." The first few sources were things like Free Beacon and Washington Times. I clicked on Politifact because I know them to be neutral and moderate.

 

You may fancy yourself smarter than everyone else, more principled or whatever. But you are just as susceptible to political biases as anyone you accuse.

 

I mean did you REALLY think there is exactly one measurement to look at when evaluating the economy?

The economists who were screaming about the worst recession since the 30's had a vested interest in pushing the economic stimulus plan.

 

In historical review though, the recession wasn't caused by business overinvestment and the resulting pullback, but by a massive liquidity crunch across the world's financial players. Once the finance sector stabilized, the economic growth (GDP, jobs & wages) should have rebounded much faster. But it didn't, because domestic profits were made from cost reductions, lower interest rates, tax depreciation gimmickry and stashing profits overseas.

He put Gorsuch on the bench. If that is all he does for the next four years, he's already a better president than Obama.

 

Not really a high bar

While this is mostly true, presidents and congress can most certainly help contribute to the successes and failures of an economy.
