Amateur Hour Continues

Reagan's reputation benefited bigly from Volcker's program to reign in inflation

To his credit, Reagan was likely going to do that any way. Friedman was his top economic advisor and that was Friedman's #1 priority.

No tax cut? The corporate tax rate went way down and bumped the economy bigly. Lots of $$$ coming back to America, creating jobs, higher wages for those who had none under the previous administration.

Nope.

 

[37L1]

Nope.

Maybe I should use your argument of "It takes times for the results of a President's economic policies to take effect" a la your Jimmy Carter accolades?

But you can't argue that employment is up among record setting territory (particularly among the minority communities) and so are wages. Like I said in my post you responded to. Bet you found a graph for that so instead you just showed one for investment to GDP growth instead.

I give credit to Trump for his deregulatory measures. However, what he did is nowhere near as impactful as what Carter did.

There is no "tax cut". Income tax went down. Tariff taxes and others went up.

I can give credit and fault to them both but here you are trying to give credit to Trump while refusing to credit Carter. Trump is hurting the future for the sake of good numbers now while Carter secured our future doing something every conservative pretends he will do in office.

Can you give credit where it's due?

Can you please admit that Carter on some level did this out of political expediency. Signed in an re-election year. One he had to privately know may not end well for him. If this was so great why didn't the Peanut do this earlier in his Presidency?

You linked employment to foreign corporate earnings being repatriated (tax bill), and there's no proof of that.

So the employment and wage increases just magicially happened? Must be the Lucky Charms.

Whenever employment declines in the future, will it also be because of the corporate tax law? Or might there be other causes?

Should post this in the pledge of allegence thread.

If it is it will be because Democrats raised the rates discouraging job growth

Don't know if it's been posted or discussed but I thought if perfectly encapsulates Trumpism vs. normalcy.

The Obama and Trump reading lists, compared (opinion) - CNN

Worth a read but for those of you just wanting a couple of highlights.......

The former president, who was known to read an hour a day toward the end of his presidency, has curated a selection that he noted on Instagram is part of the "fabric that helps make up a life" and can hopefully "enhance our day-to-day experiences."
While the books that Obama recommends will make readers more well-rounded and informed, Trump's list is filled with books that will make the reader angrier and more supportive of Trump.

The same factors that were prompting employers to hire people before the tax law change.

The former president, who was known to read an hour a day toward the end of his presidency,

It’s pretty evident that Trump doesn’t read books or have any underlying political philosophy. It was also evident that Obama didn’t read much as revealed by the above quote that he basically started reading at the end of his term. At least he skipped pretty quickly through the Tom Clancy, Stephen King, John Grisham, etc, phase as I didn’t see those on his list.
