@NateHasAHandle@iwheathen@avidseries Yeah, why do you think Democrats are copying it and calling it "Abundance"? Too bad your own party voters will never accept it. Turns out when you lie to your own voters for over 2 decades it is really hard to undo their false understanding of economics you lied them into.
@NateHasAHandle@iwheathen@avidseries Compared to Democrat economic policy last 2 decades which was to constrain the supply via regulations and taxes and drive up the demand by giving those taxes as subsidies, driving up the cost for everyone else. Literally all the problems people complain about today IS bc of this.
@NateHasAHandle@iwheathen@avidseries False. Trickle down economics is Democrats calling GOP economic policy which is supply side economics which is to make it easier and cheaper for producer by removing regulations and taxes to produce MORE services and products so that prices goes down for everyone.
@NateHasAHandle@iwheathen@avidseries What do you think "trickle down economics" is? And what do you think Democrats' "Abundance" platform is? Democrats are basically admitting they were wrong for the last 2 decades and you are too ignorant to know because they simply call it something else.
@Marc255248@ChrisMartzWX If he wanted to help the middle class, he wouldn't have voted for ACA. Why would you believe he is trying to help the middle class? Everything he votes for translates to more taxes and higher prices for the middle class.
@iwheathen@avidseries The left believes fake news just as much if not more because they LITERALLY believe and trust institutions and corporations mouth pieces over their own common sense.
@PPirate14500@avidseries I am pretty sure calling people "evil", or "racist" or "white supremacist" is far more dehumanizing than calling someone who is acting and saying stupid things "retarded".
@libertyNoKings False. If you think tariffs could be 100% transfered to consumers, you don't have much experience with business and how they work. There are hundred different reasons that prevent you from raising prices like competition and people no longer buying your product.
@Ennuibert@BuddyMRT@JonahDispatch They don't understand because they truly believe their policies were sustainable. Their policies are always the same: constrain the supply with regulations and taxes and jack up the demand with subsidies, raising prices for everyone.
@GadflyofBedlam@sweeenie That will be supply side economics which is a GOP solution and therefore "trickle down economics". So basically that idea would be DOA. Just like Democrats "Abundance" platform is DOA despite people like Ezra Klein pushing it and relabeling it "supply side progressivism".
@Flat6forever@BillyBeluga@sweeenie The two semesters of econ still matter and supply and demand doesn't magically go away because you moved past first year economics. The situation we are in today IS because of prior government actions that constrain the supply through regulations and taxes while driving up demand
@treckly@LydiaMoynihan Tariffs are about rebalancing trade and getting some key manufacturing back in the country. It is also for our trading partners cheating our companies like pharmaceuticals prices and medical devices.
@treckly@LydiaMoynihan How does Democrats suing the government to force the government to give back the tariffs to corps help people? Removing the fine for not having ACA was a godsend to many people forced to pay while not being able to use it. Our interest on debt is more than our defense spending.
@akafaceUS Now apply the same logic to housing or food or any other subsidies given by the government to drive up demand. Then add the regulations and taxes that constrain the supply and make it harder for people who produce. Basically a summary of Democrat policies for last 2 decades.
@treckly@LydiaMoynihan How is it Trump's fault for failing to end ACA? How is it Trump's fault that Democrats literally sue the government so corporations can get back the tariffs? Clinton "balanced" the budget riding the dot com boom and left the crash for Bush W.
@HectorOfTroy24@jonatanpallesen@nathancofnas Because it is so blatantly obvious that racial differences exists as we are biological creatures. There is no need to even debate it as it is like debating whether humans need oxygen to live. That is how stupid everything has become.
@treckly@LydiaMoynihan The young uses the least amount of welfare, they will benefit the most from cuts to entitlements. This is not a GOP problem. Almost every problem we are having are literally due to Democrat policies that constrain the supply and drive up the demand through entitlements.
