So? Does he make money or not. My argument isn't whether he is a good person or not it's all about money. He'll I don't even think he is a good president.
Oprah for Prez?

It had nothing to do with rednecks it was about sexual harassment
He was born with huge amounts of capital. He inherited a real estate empire that grew at a slower rate than the stock market. He has no more of a hard worker or genius then the guy washing cars down the street, the only difference was what he was born with.

1) why don't we keep rates at zero forever then
and
2) why are we in this current assett bubble
He makes money because our system is designed to give preference to the idiot who inherited a lot of capital versus the hard-working and intelligent man who was born poor.
You can’t keep rates artificially low forever, they must track the economy at some point or the interference can be harmful. We are in an asset bubble because the improvement in the economy is only now showing up significantly, coupled with the shock of a new tax policy Designed to favor the wealthy even more heavily than previously did. Our economy was very strong in the 1940s, let’s go back to that tax rate.

His lying rarely bothers me, it's his actions I care about more. When he tells a lie on the scale of Johnson about the Gulf of Tonkin or Clinton about her emails then I might think differently.

Cawacko, You don’t think Oprah got help from her government? Do you think without government help opera would be what she has today? The difference with Oprah is that she got help that is available to everyone, Trump Inherited his wealth made available only to those with Rich daddy’s.

Cawacko, let me try to explain this to you in a different way, very practical real way. Because I did not have a wealthy daddy, I had to borrow about $100,000 in student loans to go to law school, through a combination of low interest rates and governmental assistance I was able to borrow that money. Several years ago I was able to consolidate those loans at a very low Interest rate because the Fed Forced low rates. Now, because of the low interest rate I am paying compared to the interest rate I was paying when rates were higher, I have an extra $200 a month to take care of my family with. I thank Liberals for the federal student loan program and low interest-rate.
The federal student loan program is available to everyone, not just those with Rich daddy’s. Without the federal student loan program I would be making much less money because I would’ve not had access to the education I was able to attain.

That is my plan, my children are getting a top notch education and a great upbringing, but I do not plan to leave them money. I have seen too many people fucked up by knowing that they will one day inherit a lot of money. Its bad for the child and the Nation.

Would you accept this much lying from Theresa May? He lies when he doesn't have to, lying defines him. I'm not sticking up one minute for LBJ on Tonkin or bush on Iraq or Hillary on the emails or reagan on Iran-Contra. All those lies are bad also.
You said his lying rarely bothers you, have you ever looked at his lies impartially and on their own without mentally comparing them to other pols' lies?

^ I don't think making money is the gold standard on which to judge a president.

You should quit while you're ahead. There is no factual way you can prove that someone voted on feelings. By that standard I'd say that all trump supporters voted on their feelings that he actually had empathy for the middle class.

We've been over this before. She rages. She's irrational.She's full of rage all the time. Her command of the English language is very poor. I do lecture my friends on occasion. Do you ever lecture yours? Or anyone here? (other than your "detractors, of courseI don't know who Tom is. But you seem to support the "contributions" from Fowl and Mason, without question. They often use the c word and much much worse...You've seen their "handiwork" up close and "personal" if you recall.
I wonder if you would applaud their latest "project"...perhaps you can get them to give up another link...I think they made it private again..

Most of his lies are in fact exaggerations, I put that down to him being a salesman by nature. If he starts telling egregious lies then I will view him differently. I really believe he'll only complete one term and then hand on the baton to somebody else maybe Nikki Haley?Would you accept this much lying from Theresa May? He lies when he doesn't have to, lying defines him. I'm not sticking up one minute for LBJ on Tonkin or bush on Iraq or Hillary on the emails or reagan on Iran-Contra. All those lies are bad also.

No that's not why we are in an asset bubble and it has absolutely nothing to do with tax cuts. When the Fed artificially keep rates low as they have people will chase yield into riskier assets. Hence the stock and real estate bubble. Eventually the fed has to pull away the punch bowl and we'll see the results when they do.
And the Fed and low interest rates are the reason inequality has grown so much over the past decade. Feel free to pull up where the gains have gone the past decade. Largely to the top. That's what your low interest rates has wrought and that's what you are claiming is good for middle class and poor people.
