Trump broke his promise to fix the debt. He'll blame Congress in 2020.
Analysis: The president said he'd eliminate the debt. Instead, he borrowed trillions more. But he's betting the red ink won't stain him in 2020.

And millions of Whell-like morons will believe his BS. Sad!

White House says Trump will drive a US economic boom lasting 10 years, a prediction virtually no serious economists agree with

https://www.businessinsider.com/whit...imistic-2019-3

Quote:
President* Trump's closest economic advisors are predicting a long term boom in the US economy as a direct result of his policies, a forecast wildly out of sync with most economists.

The Council of Economic Advisers predicts growth over the next decade of around 2.8% annually, compared to the Federal Reserve's forecast of just 1.9% long-run growth.

In 2019, the CEA expects 3.2% growth, while economists from Goldman Sachs and other banks say it will be nearer 2%.

Many in the US fear a recession in 2020 or 2021, but the CEA does not.

U.S. Banks Keep Tumbling as Bad News Piles Up, Curve Inverts

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/u-ban...141732930.html

Anyone else tired of all the "winning" yet? Who will the moron-in-chief blame it on this time? Whell, who do you think it will be?

I heard a bone-chilling announcement from the Federal Reserve. They say they will not raise interest rates FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. Rarely do they tip their hand so far in advance. I think this announcement is meant to be stimulative. This means they think the recovery is over.

WHITE HOUSE DEMANDS FED “IMMEDIATELY” JUICE THE ECONOMY TO SAVE TRUMP IN 2020
National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow wants the Fed to cut interest rates at once, despite the economy supposedly firing on all cylinders.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019...interest-rates

Hey, Whell, you assured us the Trump tax cut was going to fix the economy, like for years to come. Now, despite yours and this corrupt administration’s assurances that the economy is doing great, we somehow need to CUT interest rates RIGHT NOW!

Please explain!

That's the conservative solution to everything. In good economic times and in bad, with big or small deficits, with high or low unemployment - cut taxes on the rich and they will tinkle down upon us.

Economists flee Agriculture Dept. after feeling punished under Trump
Reports showing farmers hurt by the president’s policies have drawn the ire of top officials.

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/...-trump-1307146

Quote:
Economists in the Agriculture Department's research branch say the Trump administration is retaliating against them for publishing reports that shed negative light on White House policies, spurring an exodus that included six of them quitting the department on a single day in late April.

The Economic Research Service — a source of closely read reports on farm income and other topics that can shape federal policy, planting decisions and commodity markets — has run afoul of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue with its findings on how farmers have been financially harmed by President Donald Trump's trade feuds, the Republican tax code rewrite and other sensitive issues, according to current and former agency employees.

The reports highlight the continued decline under Trump’s watch in farm income, which has dropped about 50 percent since 2013. Rural voters were a crucial source of support for Trump in 2016, and analysts say even a small retreat in 2020 could jeopardize the president’s standing in several battleground states.

“The administration didn’t appreciate some of our findings, so this is retaliation to harm the agency and send a message,” said one current ERS employee, who asked not to be named to avoid retribution.
Facts don’t align with the Supply Side bullshit from Whell’s Dear Leader? The truth tellers must be punished!

Whell, how can you and your ilk continue to be so incredibly ignorant?

Corporations paid $91 billion less in taxes in 2018 under Trump's tax law

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/corpo...160745447.html

Hey Whell! Who do you think will have to make up the difference for the massive deficit? This isn’t a trick question. C’mon, you know the answer...
