Then why dont you like it?

The Rs did exactly what the Ds would have done, and its actually a feature of being president that they cant be bogged down by lawsuits unless its impeachment.

Do you realize that everything you said is talking points and can easily be rebuffed or pointed also in the direction of democrats for doing worse things in the same area?

Sure, but the opinion has to be based in reality. If you hadnt noticed right now, the attack on trump has shifted to him being a fascist and a direct danger to democracy. Nothing has really changed, its the same basic trump.

Really makes no difference

Uh yeah it does because the two things he listed are under presidential control, and it shows he was making a joke. You might not like the joke, but there is not stated intent to be an actual dicatator. And the all the rest is guess work or projection.

What were the two things he listed after he said he was going to be dictator on day one?

The issue is that they are misleading you with lying facts. For example if I said “A person is YY times more likely to die in a hospital than at the grocery store”, that would be true but its misleading to believe that if I go to the hospital I am more likely to die than at the grocery store.

Which platform would that be? I am not trying to be difficult, but I think probably all platforms are heavily biased.

You know very well that trump is not just a political candidate. He is a fascist piece of shit and has already stated that he will be a dictator.

Annnnnd this is where you go off the rail.

I simp for the truth and consistency. Elon is just another billionaire that is influencing things, the only reason you care about what he is doing is because your team tells you to care. You guys used to like elon, but since he left the circle jerk he is the enemy. You should like a troll billionaire but you cant get past the agenda.

What platform are journalists supposed to be using when almost all of them seem to be biased?

OMG A GUY IS DONATING MONEY TO A POLTICAL CANDIDATE!!!

He is old and he had rough weekend, seems pretty expected. Seems quite irrelevant relative to everything else.

Can you give me an example of “it finds services and then chokes out competition until the system is ineffient” that doesnt include heavy government intervention?

Healthcare is one of the most highly regulated industries in existence, I understand why you guys go to it, but its hard to parse out what is what and how cheaply it could be done by truly free market organizations.

The government’s “structural nature” doesn’t mean much, every company is structured and just as inefficient.

This is objectively false. The issue is the government has no reason to be efficient, so it is not. What you are probably seeing is huge companies that are exteremly ineffeicent because they are propped up by government money and regulations. And I fully understand anecdotes, but its not anecdotes, its how the government works. The government organization can say “we will pay 2x or more for the same product because we want certain specs that are unnecessary”. Private organizations cant do this or their competitors will take their business. You can allude to data or “scientific conclusions” that pretends this isnt real, but I can guarantee you its propaganda. If its not then point to one thing the government does cheaper than private businesses in a minorly regulated field. Since I can point to many where private businesses objectively do better, you should be able to point to one.

I understand what you are saying, but it is a fact that beyond basic safety and infrastructure, higher taxes equals less growth. Trickle down is not a thing and was never a thing, it was a propaganda term used to attack lower taxes. You can believe that we should have taxes for a variety of things (and I would agree) but the government just makes this less efficient by its strucutral nature.

The reason I am getting downvotes is because this place is full of people that are tribal and get mad when you disagree. I feel like I have a pretty good basis of knowledge for this; I worked for the government, I worked as a company that worked with the government, and now I am forced to follow their rules which literally makes my whole town worse and poorer.

I would disagree with this in that the rich and businesses dont just keep the money in a scrooge mcduck vault, they put it into a variety of things that is not direct consumption spending but is spending. I think there are too many variable to confidently say what would happen, but I dont think its a significant difference when it comes to inflation.

I am in favor of less taxes for everyone and thus less spending in the government. This goes to the idea of “trickle down” economics, which on a side note was never an actual thing. Less taxes are better on every level, but the question should be how much do we need for a functioning society.

I understand what you are saying, but it just reallocates the money to different organizations. I would say that tax cuts could be tending to more deflationary because it allows people to be more productive and create more products. Although I think it gets nuanced with how this all relates to the debt and bonds, but I would guess its all a wash with regards to inflation.

And I appreciate that you are not just another angry person that just wants to yell about trump and how me disagreeing with “experts” makes me a MAGA.

You dont want a conversation, you just want to yell at the wind. But I am just telling you the fact that cutting taxes doesnt slow the economy or fuel inflation. The “experts” claim things, and its up to us to refute those claims. If you wish to yell about how trump kicked you puppy I dont give a shit.

Cutting taxes doesnt slow the economy or fuel inflation.

Thats what I have been trying to say, but everyone is freaking the fuck out. Literally its the most obvious statement if people just think about it for a second.

If you dont understand what I am saying then dont spend half an hour writing a comment, just ask me instead.

The US has direct democracies in many ways also, but there are overall protections from the constitution.
