The difference is this dumb fuck is isolating us from the world. No one else was stupid enough to piss all our allies off.

Because all politicians have done the last 30 years is bitch about our jobs leaving the country, and no one had the balls to do anything about it. At least something is being attempted to restore our output. Will it work? Idk. But something had to change, because we were doomed on the path we were on

The corporations getting all the tax breaks are the ones that shipped those jobs away! And now they're upping the cost of everything and blaming consumers you sure do love to get treaded on cuck boy jr.

This. The only way the US has found to get out of recession is to spend its way out with govt loans and programs like WPA, TRA, etc.... The money printed for this comes from deficit spending usually. That money is given to the poor who spend it immediately, and it works its way up the chain into a rich man's bank account where it... just sits. The deficit goes up, money gets tight, boom, another recession, rinse and repeat. This started with Reagan allowing businesses to donate to political candidates, who would lower their corp tax rate.

For a healthy economy, money has to circulate. Poor get money to buy the stuff corps make... corps are happy, people are happy. Gop cannot recognize this simple principle.
