The thunderous Trump economic boom rolls on.

Unemployment the lowest since 1973.

Black/Hispanic unemployment all time record lows.

1st quarter corporate profits a landslide victory for America.

Foreign policy knocked out of the park with the cancelling of Obama’s unsupported unilateral 150 billion dollar giveaway to the #1 sponsor of terrorism, Iran.

Historic Korean Peninsula peace talks for the first time in our lives.

Numerous courts enforce the law and disgrace the Mueller witch hunt with it’s 18 demokkkrat contributors which has become a world wide laughingstock and fail. Zero evidence of collusion.

Trump’s approval steadfast over 50%. Consumer confidence off the charts.

The demokkkrats contribution? A porn star and the usual, obsessive hate, anger, blame, whine, complain. Zero ideas or solutions. Poor lemmings.

Don't forget his new drug plan. Elderly Americans such as Daddydidmedoggie stand to benefit quite a bit.

So you'd sell your soul for some stock options, okay.

When Greed is your primary motivation behind everything you believe in, it's easy to put a price on anything. Including "souls."

The stock market is up because of the billions of dollars that the middle and working class gifted to rich people and corporations. That money is now going into the stock market as buybacks instead of helping American workers.

[–] Burk48917 (11536) 7 years ago

Lol, tell that to the 400 million in bonus money that is going to Walmart employees because the tax cuts are helping the company save so much. But don't let facts get in the way of your blind,stupid,hatred.

[–] dlancer (2036) 7 years ago

I've got some facts for ya.

Since Walmart is saving about $2 billion in taxes per year, and there are 7 key Walton family members with stake in Walmart, that leaves $229 million for each of those family members after subtracting that $400 million.

But wow, they gave each of their employees $174 a year, which means the majority of those employees are still under the poverty level.

Walmart has also been caught buying life insurance on their dying employees and cashing out upon their deaths.

[–] Burk48917 (11536) 7 years ago

Your numbers are bullshit, and taking out insurance policies doesn't affect anyone negatively...which has nothing to do with tax cuts or bonuses. Or are you one of those types just itching to be pissed at anything to do with a big corporation.

[–] dlancer (2036) 7 years ago

You say the numbers are bullshit, but your site doesn't counter them. It only counters your $400 million figure.

If the $560 million went to the full 2.3 million employees, then that's still only $243 per person (on average) instead of $174. But it doesn't go to all 2.3 million. It only goes to 890,000 out of Walmart's 2.3 million employees. The remaining 1.4 million employees get nothing from Trump's tax cut.

[–] Burk48917 (11536) 7 years ago

Why would every part time employee,or kid getting only a few hours deserve that bonus? Your dismissing almost a MILLION employees getting money. No companies work that way. And your right, the article shows they gave MORE money.

[–] dlancer (2036) 7 years ago

Everything you are praising Walmart for began before Trump was president. It started with their hourly wage increase, which had begun before they even knew Trump's tax cuts would exist. The bonuses were for employees that were in states where the hourly increase wasn't instituted. It was all being paid for by Walmart's massive profits. Now, on top of those profits, Walmart is receiving an extra $2 billion.

Credit where credit is due... It's good that Walmart wants their employees to earn more, but other companies like Costco did it way earlier. Giving Walmart praise because of Trump's tax cuts is ignorance. All $2 billion of those tax cuts to the Walton family is profit on top of profit.

It's sad when the massively wealthy have you on a string, but here you are lying for them when they aren't even asking you to.

[–] Burk48917 (11536) 7 years ago

Your blind hatred for Trump without logic is truly pathetic.

[–] dlancer (2036) 7 years ago

What a stupid comment. I've shown no disdain for Trump in this conversation. It's all been about Walmart. Are you somehow confusing the two? You sure seem pissed off about it. But instead of coming back with facts, you just dribble on yourself.

[–] Burk48917 (11536) 7 years ago

Are you literally retarded? You clearly inferred that Trump had nothing to do with the motivation for Walmarts bonuses. You even brought up his name multiple tines.They are giving bonuses because him in office is helping them as a corporation. It doesn't matter if it started before his term. If Trump hurt them financially, they would most likely stop. Fairly obvious logic.

The Trump boom continues...

- Industrial production climbs 0.7% in April for third straight month of gains

- Capacity utilization rose to 78% in April, a three-year high.

- Demokkkrat Obama, “manufacturing jobs are not coming back”

We're still in the Obama boom. The effect of Trumps policies and leadership haven't been felt yet.

[–] dlancer (2036) 7 years ago

True. Unemployment reached 10% in October 2009. That's when the Obama bailout started to kick in. From then on it just kept lowering and lowering.

When you add to the debt, unemployment usually drops. However, when you add to the debt by giving the top 1% the majority of the benefit, the bump in the stock market is more artificial since the stock market revolves around speculation. All the big companies are reveling in their tax cuts, but as those tax cuts shift over to their off-shore bank accounts, the middle class begins to pay for them... usually by working for less wages than they did a decade ago.

Russell 2000 hits all-time high.

What's good for the stock market doesn't necessarily benefit your average American.
