2024 Election

Okay, it was balanced under Clinton in 1998 and again in 2001. Believe Trump ran the debt up relative to the size of the economy 3rd among presidents, behind Bush and Lincoln, both of who were fighting wars. Check that if you want, if that's accurate

And keeping the American people alive during the pandemic wasn't a war?

As for Clinton, he could have done so much better, but he saw to it that the 'dotcom' boom was busted, thus hurting the economy because the dotcom's were getting too powerful. All the law suites against Microsoft, Apple and many other web companies. And what did it get us?

I think Trump deserves a lot of credit for pushing the economic stimulus and for pushing the investment in vaccine development. Others may disagree.

Does anyone know how much these initiatives cost, relative to the reduction in tax revenues due to [a] the Trump tax cuts and [2] the economic slowdown when COVID hit? I'm just wondering what were the drivers of the high deficit percentage increase during the Trump years.

It is so funny how you're giving Trump ALL the benefit but won't give Biden anything while Covid was still killing people.

Trump increased the debt by trillions due to corporate tax cuts and spending BEFORE the pandemic. And I thought the pandemic was fake? Covid wasn't actually killing people, right? It was a plandemic? That was the take on this board the entire time Hilarious.

WSJ: "Trump’s combination of tax cuts, tariff increases, military expansion and mass deportations would widen budget deficits by an estimated $7.5 trillion over the next decade... Meanwhile, Vice President Harris’s plans—social-policy spending, middle-class tax cuts and tax increases on corporations and high-income households—would increase deficits by $3.5 trillion."

You rail against government spending but Trump is the king of it.

So, this is how Harris is going to raise taxes.

The Harris tax plan would:

· Raise the corporate tax from 21% to 28%

· Quadruple the tax on stock buybacks from 1% to 4%

· Double the global minimum tax from 10% to 20%

· Raise the top Income tax rate from 37% to 39.6%

· Raise the corporate alternative minimum tax from 15% to 21%

· Raise the capital gains tax from 24% to 43.5%

· Impose the first-ever tax on unrealized capital gains at 25%

· Double the number of Americans subject to the death tax

And your problem is?

Maybe the people these changes affect will have 5 Bentleys instead of 6.

More wealth inequality than at any time in history... God forbid.

North Carolina Democrat leader resigns after arrest for allegedly stealing Trump roadside signs


A local Democratic Party chair in North Carolina resigned this week after he was arrested for allegedly ripping out and stealing roadside signs supporting former President Donald Trump.

Lowell Simon, the now former chair of the Moore County Democratic Party, who is also running for North Carolina House in November, was charged with two counts of misdemeanor larceny of political signs.

The Moore County Democratic Party announced in a Facebook post on Monday that 68-year-old Simon had resigned as chair "following recent allegations and arrest related to the theft of political signs."

The Moore County Sheriff's Office said a deputy working in the West End area observed Simon removing campaign signs from the roadside along Seven Lakes Drive at approximately 5:25 p.m. Thursday.

"The deputy, who was responding to an unrelated call at the time, later followed up at Simon’s residence, where the signs were found in his vehicle," according to the office. "Simon admitted to removing the signs, which were then recovered and returned to their original owner."

A warrant for Simon's arrest was issued Saturday. He was released "under a written promise to appear in court," according to the sheriff's office, and his first court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 30.

"While we appreciate the hard work and dedication he has shown to the Democratic Party and the community, the Moore County Democratic Party cannot and will not condone the tampering of political signs or any other illegal activity," the local party wrote on Facebook. "Mr. Simon has offered an apology for his actions, as well as his resignation, both of which have been accepted by the MCDP."

WRAL, the outlet that interviewed Simon over the phone after his arrest, said the local chair complained that signs he had already placed in support of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Josh Stein, the state’s current attorney general running against Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, were obstructed by new signs later set up in front of them that read: "Trump low taxes, Kamala high taxes."

"My worse angels got the better of me and I removed the signs," Simon said. "I shouldn't have done that. I didn't do it in the stealth of night or anything. I did it when it was five o'clock in the afternoon."

Man... profound.

I'm glad you shared this graphic. It's a stroke of genius that has convinced me that Trump is the person to vote for.
