Not if you look at the numbers that matter Craig. The U3 unemployment measurement was brought to you by Obama. If you look at the U6 rate that up until the previous administration had been the standard we used for unemployment we are at 7.4%. Hardly the picture of a robust economy we are being sold. Wage growth? Barely keeping up with inflation after 20 years of stagnation. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/201...ed-for-decades/

As a matter of fact, I do believe credible accusations ought to be thoroughly investigated-- across all parties. What pisses me off about the politics here is the automatic presumption that a Democrat must endorse every misguided thing done by Democrats. I'd never assume anyone here automatically endorsed Ray Moore. There are enough awful people to go around. All parties have their share of them. Keep an open mind.

No one except Kavanaugh and his accuser can possibly know who is telling the truth. Democrats didn't invent this accusation. Now there is another one. Wouldn't it make more sense to hear the testimony before concluding who's telling the truth? We have one sexual offender on the court already. We have another sexual predator nominating Kavanaugh. Let's try to get the facts ( not the alternative facts) before we take sides. Lecturing about "alternative facts" when you start tossing about the terms "sexual offender"and "sexual predator" should tell anyone who reads this thread how little you have to offer in regard to anything that is straight forward and honest.

....Hardly the picture of a robust economy we are being sold.
Wage growth? Barely keeping up with inflation after 20 years of stagnation.... We can all pick and choose what to believe and there're are heaps more stats and polls where those came from, no big deal. What I do notice Steve, is what you describe as ho hum, is a distinct economic upswing that started just a bit under two years ago. If we are scrapping along at the bottom of the barrel now, where were your thoughts on the economy a few years ago?

Craig.....you know, I know and Trump knows the economy is a mess. Has been for years. That is what Trump was elected on remember? It began with NAFTA, credit Bush 41 for negotiating it and Slick Willie for signing it. Both parties sold the working class out. Purchasing power peaked in the early 70's. I know, not the party line I should be busy shouting in this time of oh so important mid-term elections.
On the bright side the top 1% of taxpayers received 20% of the tax reductions the Republicans are so proud of.
Thank goodness someone is looking out for the working man.

Steve, without checking your figures I don't doubt that the top 1% got 20% of the tax reductions. They were the ones paying the taxes, so they would naturally get more benefit from the reduction. It would be devilish hard to reduce the taxes of people not paying any to begin with. Just a thought...Geo

[quote=SKB It began with NAFTA... Unilateralist Canadians are the problem with NAFTA. They need to join the rest of Norte America and get with the program. “On the bright side the top 1% of taxpayers received 20% of the tax reductions...” ...and paid 50% of all income taxes. Thanks rich dudes. __________________________ Time out of Mind https://youtu.be/7JBHyE18L3o
