    Recessions happen regularly.  Usually 7-10 years apart.  That's life.  
    Sure. And certain factors can expedite them like unnecessary trade wars. 

    Also one of the ways you stimulate an economy in a recession is with tax cuts....but we shot our load on them last year for political purposes.

    Mexico will stimulate our economy. By tickling our walls.

     Prison reform that the right has agreed with.  Troop pull outs that the left is now coming out against. 

    This is all all very amusing to watch.   One things for sure.  Trump is highlighting the my team your team mentality on both sides, and the politicizing of everything, but also how similar we are once we put our dogma down.

      Kavanaugh has already voted against stuff the left presumed he wouldn’t.   Roberts is being praised.  Funny how non-legislating justices work, maybe RBG should take a page out of their books. 

    Theres a lot being exposed in DC on both sides with this unconventional Presidency.  Don’t let it pass you by and elect more political hacks.  Maybe unconventional is what we needed.  Does it really matter if he did a porn star before he was President (or, based on Kennedy and Clinton even if he was minus the porn part) or his wife is a model (can you imagine what press would have been if Melania wore thigh high boots?).  
    Prison reform because Team Trump Treason, Jared Dear Boy, Donny Jr. and Ivanka will soon be beneficiaries.

    Does it matter he did putin on the ritz? Yup.

    What, exactly, has been exposed on the left side?

    Have you donated to the gofundme wall yet?

    Stock market closed the lowest in a decade.
    Is America great again?
    Ha ha ha.  I think you either need to choose your news sources better or interpret the actual facts better.

    we are still above 22,000. It was at 18,000 when Trump was elected (over 22% growth in 2 years!   I think I will take that). And well below 10,000 10 years ago.  My 401 (K) is just fine, thank you.   

    a year end drop after a significant 2 year bull run In a favorable tax year with Democrats about to control House for profit taking is not only highly likely but expected.  Especially considering the consistent fed rate hikes (not saying I’m against them other than for personal reasons.  We do not want to return to the Jimmy Carter amazingly stupid stagflation)

    im not going to tell you what you’re misinterpreting.  You’d be better served figuring that out yourself.
    We know he misinterpreted it.  I actually don't blame Trump for the drop or give him a lick of credit for thre 10 year rise. What I do blame him for is supporting that terrible piece of legislation that is only serving to increase the debt.  Even in the year after the cut,  we can't make the GDP number to make it neutral.  Defend that shit, please.

    It's not gonna be.
    Ha ha. Yes it will. The stock market has outperformed bonds in every 5 year period including the Great Depression.  If you have the proper investment risk profile relative to your time to retire, yours will be fine too.   You can’t blame anyone if you’re 2-5 years from retirement and still heavily invested in stocks.

    It just had it's worst week in almost a decade and is teetering on it's worst December since 1931. The president is contemplating firing his fed chairman after just 6 months. Experts are saying a recession may be on it's way sooner than expected. This is AFTER spending a trillion dollars on an unnecessary tax cut that was supposed to push things into hyper drive just a year ago.

    The warning signs are everywhere. Your head appears to be in the sand.
    Please read what I was responding to.  Now you have your facts straight.

    Lol.  I didn’t say that either.   The last 2 years gains before the drop (which I’m not ignoring just putting in proper perspective) out paced the prior.  But yeah, good times all around.  This was an extreme bull market the last 2 years.  But wasn’t ignoring that it had been gaining since the last recession.  I enjoyed that too.  Thanks.

    now can you remind me what Obama’s prison reform accomplishment was?   I have forgotten that, too.

    I don’t think I said anything about the debt.  Did I?  That’s an ongoing problem. We need to slash spending significantly. We can’t keep spending what we don’t have.

    What, exactly, has been exposed on the left side?

    Have you donated to the gofundme wall yet?
    You know what the prison reform was related to right? 

    Stop worrying about Russia.  

    And I don’t want a literal wall, so no.  That’s stupid. But, yes we should address immigration meaningfully and not with false equivalencies of things that happened 200 or 2000 years ago.  Stop reacting to media noise and debate the issues.

    Meaningful bipartisan immigration reform was before the repub senate and Mitchy baby wouldn’t hold a vote. Meaningful immigration reform and funding for the wall was before Team Trump Treason and he walked away from it.

    Prison sentencing reform only came about because of white abuse of opioids and the toll it’s taking on white suburbanites. Where was the concern when crack cocaine was laying waste to communities of color? And also because Jared Dear Boy’s dad spent time in prison and Kanye convinced Team Trump Treason to get behind it. Reducing time for non-violent drug offenders and leveling sentences for powder and crack cocaine was long overdue so I’ll give Jared Dear  Boy a reduced sentence too.

    Are you for or against the government shutdown?

    Ha ha ha.  I think you either need to choose your news sources better or interpret the actual facts better.

    we are still above 22,000. It was at 18,000 when Trump was elected (over 22% growth in 2 years!   I think I will take that). And well below 10,000 10 years ago.  My 401 (K) is just fine, thank you.   

    a year end drop after a significant 2 year bull run In a favorable tax year with Democrats about to control House for profit taking is not only highly likely but expected.  Especially considering the consistent fed rate hikes (not saying I’m against them other than for personal reasons.  We do not want to return to the Jimmy Carter amazingly stupid stagflation)

    im not going to tell you what you’re misinterpreting.  You’d be better served figuring that out yourself.
    Two year bull run... are you fucking daft? Did you sit the first 7 years of it to show Obama who is boss?
    Lol.  I didn’t say that either.   The last 2 years gains before the drop (which I’m not ignoring just putting in proper perspective) out paced the prior.  But yeah, good times all around.  This was an extreme bull market the last 2 years.  But wasn’t ignoring that it had been gaining since the last recession.  I enjoyed that too.  Thanks.

    now can you remind me what Obama’s prison reform accomplishment was?   I have forgotten that, too.  
    How do you call something a two year gain when the entire 2018 increase has been wiped out, in fact the year started at 25 and we are at 22   It's a one year gain,  2017 only.

     Prison reform that the right has agreed with.  Troop pull outs that the left is now coming out against. 

    This is all all very amusing to watch.   One things for sure.  Trump is highlighting the my team your team mentality on both sides, and the politicizing of everything, but also how similar we are once we put our dogma down.

      Kavanaugh has already voted against stuff the left presumed he wouldn’t.   Roberts is being praised.  Funny how non-legislating justices work, maybe RBG should take a page out of their books. 

    Theres a lot being exposed in DC on both sides with this unconventional Presidency.  Don’t let it pass you by and elect more political hacks.  Maybe unconventional is what we needed.  Does it really matter if he did a porn star before he was President (or, based on Kennedy and Clinton even if he was minus the porn part) or his wife is a model (can you imagine what press would have been if Melania wore thigh high boots?).  
    Prison reform because Team Trump Treason, Jared Dear Boy, Donny Jr. and Ivanka will soon be beneficiaries.

    Does it matter he did putin on the ritz? Yup.

    What, exactly, has been exposed on the left side?

    Have you donated to the gofundme wall yet?
    You know what the prison reform was related to right? 

    Stop worrying about Russia.  

    And I don’t want a literal wall, so no.  That’s stupid. But, yes we should address immigration meaningfully and not with false equivalencies of things that happened 200 or 2000 years ago.  Stop reacting to media noise and debate the issues. 
    Yes it's stupid however trump refused to sign the continuing resolution because there was no money for a wall... not border security...a wall.  Im glad you can see how dumb he and his base really are.  That's refreshing.

    We know he misinterpreted it.  I actually don't blame Trump for the drop or give him a lick of credit for thre 10 year rise. What I do blame him for is supporting that terrible piece of legislation that is only serving to increase the debt.  Even in the year after the cut,  we can't make the GDP number to make it neutral.  Defend that shit, please. 
    I don’t think I said anything about the debt.  Did I?  That’s an ongoing problem. We need to slash spending significantly. We can’t keep spending what we don’t have.  
    It's a problem that trump blew a hole in with this reckless tax plan. It injected a short term stimulus that burned out by July.  And he's never said a word about entitlement reform.  I love all these fake fiscal conservatives.  Pathetic and without a set of political principles.

    The current regime is based wholly on a rhetoric of fear, hate, ignorance,  jealousy, and lies.

    If you support the current regime based solely on perceived economic gains then karma will not be your friend in the long run.

    When you support evil in any way, shape, or form then you are  evil as well.

    Yes.  Exactly.   Who pays attention to Ann coulter?  Only the left and her sycophants.   Most others don’t.  And I haven’t read a single Trump tweet (though that’s not honestly true bc the media can’t help themselves so it’s inescapable.  If they just ignored it the vast majority of people wouldn’t even know and regardless don’t care).   Just ignore the noise.   All the noise.

    Well, before the drop it was a 2 year gain.  So, yes the drop eliminated the current year gain.  I will bet you a dollar the new year will see a surge before Independence Day.    Current year tax favorability with a new congressional unknown leads to profit taking.  It’s really not all that complicated.

    Meaningful bipartisan immigration reform was before the repub senate and Mitchy baby wouldn’t hold a vote. Meaningful immigration reform and funding for the wall was before Team Trump Treason and he walked away from it.

    Prison sentencing reform only came about because of white abuse of opioids and the toll it’s taking on white suburbanites. Where was the concern when crack cocaine was laying waste to communities of color? And also because Jared Dear Boy’s dad spent time in prison and Kanye convinced Team Trump Treason to get behind it. Reducing time for non-violent drug offenders and leveling sentences for powder and crack cocaine was long overdue so I’ll give Jared Dear  Boy a reduced sentence too.

    Are you for or against the government shutdown?
     
    For.  We need meaningful spending cuts.

    and your interpretation of the prison reform is....ummm.  Let’s say interesting.

    No.  If there’s legitimacy, then let’s hear it.  I’m ok with that.   Just like Clinton’s impeachment.  Checks and balances. If he’s done something during his Precidency that needs to be prosecuted, do so.
