US Politics Thread
Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.
Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.
Yee-haaa!

1m new jobsWell we dig have a giant hole to dig out from. The fact that you are so impatient for a turn around tells me everything I need to know.
I know you know you can’t turn an economy around over night, however saying that Investments are pouring in, capex is through the roof private payrolls came in at 170,000 pretty big fucking number. Productivity is taking off, Inflaton way below the Biden’s highs.
All this with no help from the Fed, imagine that, and of course the axing of Gov’t jobs/bloat and Deportations.
GDP was hit by the collapse in Gov’t spending which is a good thing of course and the Democrats Gov’t shut down.
All stuff anybody would understand except a troll of course. But do carry on mugging yourself.Gov spending cost about 0.5% in Q4 and was a conscious and self inflicted decision.
Full year growth of 2% is piss poor.
Zero job growth is even worse. Biden created 1m jobs in 2024.
You don’t need to turn around those job numbers or the GDP growth. What you’ve actually done is make it worse.
Your excuses are hilarious, always someone else’s fault isn’t it?
What happened to 5% GDP? What happened to all the jobs they were creating? What happened to no inflation? Or halving electricity costs?
I’d ask the Atlanta Fed about their 5% GDP print.
I just told you about the 170,000 private jobs created. Inflation is way down from the nightmare of Bidenomics.
Halving electricity costs while AI is exploding might take a minute…… Hang in there.

Fuck me, what a terrible track record.Yeh that’s right, the highest legal experts are all ‘dead wrong’. Even the one Trump chose
Minimal growth, zero jobs, persistent inflation……… if only there was a word for that.You bullshitting again?
Job numbers were a lot higher than expected remember? 4th quarter GDP has been explained and inflation outlook remains positive.
Productivity is up too.
You must do better.

I see a gunman was shot and killed last night at Mar A Lago……. Anybody seen Goose?I’m here with my popcorn to watch your meltdown.
Does winning the war mean having to pay back all that money plus then hitting the US consumer & companies with more tax??

Re: US Politics Thread
I see 1,800 companies have applied for a refund of these illegal tariffs that they (& US consumers) have been paying
Trump has added more tariffs. More illegal tariffs in contempt of HIS Supreme Court
That will be another law suit
Luckily his dementia will kick in soon & he won’t know he is in jail

That's now an extra 15% sales tax Americans now have to pay on stuff bought in America. Not you, not me. Just Americans (and those living) in America.
Way to go!
we can mock but there's a but, we pay a standard-rate of 20% VAT, small irrelevant point.
