CNN admits “Trump's right: The economy is doing well and he deserves some credit”

[Shaul]

Then with respect, back to the subject I was discussing.

I would suggest that your view of the left is quite limited. You are looking at only what is just very slightly left of centre and dismissing the rest of the spectrum as radical. Much like CNN does.

When I look at opinion polls on topics like healthcare, higher education, tax reform etc it seems to me that the majority of Americans are far far to the left of CNN.

And here we go...

The liberal crowd can’t stand to discuss the topic of this thread, which is that even CNN acknowledges President Trump deserves some credit for the economy doing well, so they attempt to sidetrack the discussion and hijack the thread.
Typical and boring.

um, ok. CNN acknowledged that Trump deserves some credit for the economy. I acknowledge the same thing,

What would you like to discuss?

It is wrong to like an improving economy? I support President Trump sometimes and not at others. So stop trying to make this about me. The economy is doing well. President Trump does deserve a good portion of the credit for it. Sorry those facts are inconvenient to you.

I didn't make any negative reference in regards to an improving economy in regards to Trump, so all you've done is to create a strawman. Plus, what I posted was the simple fact, which anyone can check back on, namely that you have been supporting Trump, especially since his tax cut. When you distort your record vis-a-vis Trump, as you rather clearly did, am I just supposed to ignore that and play along as if I didn't know any better?

So, your "facts" are really quite twisted as you have me saying something I didn't actually say nor imply, and then you end your rather bizarre post with another statement about how that supposedly is "inconvenient" for me.

Yep-- same as he did with my post.

Btw, I'm not a Fox News consumer.

Interesting.....for you to claim someone else watches
Fox News, you'd have to have familiarity with it.
So the irony is that you watch it, & I don't.
I read. You should try it sometime.

Your unsupported claim doesn't become a fact because you or CNN says it. I don't see where Trump deserves any credit for Obama's economy. Trump brings nothing but instability and uncertainty, both bad for the economy. His trade wars are going to cause prices to rise and jobs to disappear. The man brings no useful understanding or skills to the job.

Look how long it took Bush to destroy the economy, and he began right away with tax cuts for the wealthy just like Trump. The collapse came well into Bush's second term. Give Trump (Mr. Bankrupcy) some time and he'll trash the American economy as well.

Who cares what CNN acknowledges? Do they think for you? They don't think for me. I consider them wrong. What else is there to say on this matter?

The economy.....
Bush didn't destroy it.
Obama didn't save it.
Trump didn't save it either.
Each had/has his fingerprints on what happened, but don't forget that there
is Congress, & there are events beyond their immediate control or knowledge.
Sure, sure, Bush getting us into Iraq & Afghanistan was bad, but Congress &
the voters cheered along. The same is true for Obama & Congress continuing
the wars. Even the triggering event of the wars spans multiple administrations.
Our being mired in mideast misadventures goes back almost a century now.
Had our meddling been less hatredogenic, 9/11 would've never happened.

There's more complexity, but I'll spare you all that.
We need a more peaceful foreign policy....& less governmental incentivization
of behavior which creates economic instability & resource mis-allocation.

Btw, the crash started early in Bush's first term.

I don't know what I said previously to lead you think I watch Fox News. Just to be clear, I do pop over to Faux from time to time. When the "Fake Libral Media" was extensively covering the Resistence OpEd, Faux was interviewing some woman about something nothing. IOW, they didn't even want to talk about it.

I read. You should try it sometime.

And what*, pray tell, does someone as erudite as yourself read to keep informed?

*Besides forum posts.

James Whitcomb Riley. It says so right on the pic.

I don't know what I said previously to lead you think I watch Fox News.

If you accuse others of watching it (based upon posts),
then you must be familiar with it. Thus, if you're sincere,
you watch it. But I don't. The only broadcast news I
regularly consume is NPR. For written news, it's a vast
array from left to right (trusting neither much).

Your style of discussion stresses issues too little,
but personal criticism & accusation too much.

Btw, it was once a quality shoe, but has suffered lately.

The salient point isn't that CNN is trustworthy, but rather that
one so committed to opposing Trump is doing an about face.

The economy is improving...that's easily seen.
But for CNN to recognize this, & even credit their foe...unexpected.
Btw, I don't give him much credit at this stage.
I see primarily long term benefits from tax & regulatory changes.

We are starting to get there, though. I usually give the new administration two-ish years before handing out participation medals. Results look promising. I am cautiously optimistic in this regard.

I'm far from ready to evaluate.
The process could continue long past Trump's retirement.
Foreign policy can have long lasting massive effects.

This is true, but we are beginning to see the some of the impact of his first budget.

He says and then makes the following post...

But, if you want to denigrate my username by associating it with a shoe - OK. For the record, I did not pick my username from a brand of shoes.

However, one could look at yours and wonder about your own self image.

Is money in your pocket the only thing that counts, especially as it's being taken away from others, including our children and grandchildren through the ramping-up of the deficit by an estimated $1-1.4 trillion over the next 10 years?

I'll be honest, I haven't delved deep into it. Been focusing on school work last few months. But don't worry! I will form a strong, ill-informed opinion shortly.
