Donald J. Trump and Congress hasn't pass anything memorable. With Democrats in control of the House of Representatives and the Republicans in control of the Senate, nothing much is getting done.
Scratch that.....!
The U.S. Senate finally decided to agree with the U.S. House and Trump to pass a two year budget proposal to keep the government running until 2021. They also managed to stop another government shutdown and possible economic chaos.
Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and many other Republicans grumbled and voted against it. But these are the politicians who voted for the $1.5 trillion tax cut which piled on more debt.
The most hated politician in the United States, Addison Mitchell McConnell. |
No one remembers that......!
Mike Lee of Utah, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Chuck Schumer of New York, Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell, both of Kentucky are the most unpopular lawmakers in the country. But one would have you believe that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York representative along with Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota representative being the most unpopular. The freshman lawmakers are is in the news frequently because Trump told them to "go back" to wherever they came from. McConnell finally in the news. The junk food media labeled him "Moscow Mitch" and calls him the reasons to why Washington sucks. But McConnell and the Republican standard bearer Trump will win reelection.
They are unpopular and it's hard to beat them when the odds are in your favor but the deck is still stacked against him.
Democrats are getting wary of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi's leadership. |
The job report released today shows for the month of July about 164,000 jobs were added.
So in a country of 334.5 million people, there's places in the United States that benefit from it and others that suffer because of it. Because there's 50 states, one federal district and five populated U.S. territories. Which area in the United States got the benefits of jobs?
Whenever I hear the Republicans and conservatives brag about how the jobs report benefits Trump, I shake my head.
Just today on The Drudge Report, the blaring headline, a record 157.2 million employed. That means if you subtract that number from 334.5 you actually have 177.3 million others not working. The "awesome" record of jobs came from the far-right CNS website.
So we're just going to ignore that Lowe's Home Improvement stores are laying off workers.
We're going to ignore the hundreds of people affected by natural disasters who lost their jobs and homes.
We're going to ignore the possibility of JCPenney going out of business!
Then of course, you had a major earthquake in California.
There are major floods in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois.
We had mass shootings everyday in the United States.
Think about how they're going to adjust it when September comes around and the jobs report for August brings disappointment.
The Labor Department reported Friday that payrolls increased 164,000 during the month, just a 1,000 shy of the 165,000 Dow Jones forecast.
The unemployment rate continues to stay idle at 3.7% .
Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise with Trump and Pence. The two Republican leaders are aware of the exodus of lawmakers retiring from the House. |
We have a trade war between China and the United States where it's placing higher fees on stuff bought here. It's unfortunate that our products are getting expensive.
Many economists are saying that a recession is coming.
Those die-hard Trump supporters will say that his leadership is successful. All the while, they find that their average wages are stalling. Many of these Trump supporters probably lost their jobs. Some are probably losing their homes due to flooding, wildfires and foreclosure.
Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen over the past year.
Real Reason To Why Unemployment Rate Stays The Way It Is!
1. DEAD
2. BORN
3. IN PRISON
4. IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
5. IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
6. IN HIGH SCHOOL
7. IN COLLEGE NOT LOOKING
8. VOLUNTEER
9. DISABLED
10. STAY AT HOME PARENT
11. RETIRED
12. QUIT ON THEIR OWN
13. NOT HIRING QUALIFIED
14. NATURAL DISASTERS
15. ACTIVE MILITARY
16. NOT HIRING TOO QUALIFIED
17. LAID OFF
18. FIRED FROM THE JOB
19. DESTRUCTION TO FACILITY
20. OUTSOURCING
21. IMMIGRANTS TOO AFRAID OF BEING DETAINED BY I.C.E.
22. SHAMED BY SOCIAL MEDIA
Let me remind you, that Trump and Republicans believe austerity is the key to a strong economy and job market. The Republicans are not in control of the House of Representatives. The Democrats now control the House and will push for an agenda that Trump will likely oppose. Republicans in the Senate will continue to pass ridiculous laws that hurt the working class and middle class. They are already streamlining federal judges that could rollback years of progress.
The inept Senate leadership of Mitch McConnell is being ignored. He is leading our country into the abyss. Trump and Republicans believe that trickle down economics (i.e. free market capitalism) is helping Americans. Really, it's making people work harder and we're not seeing the benefits of it.
We are not happy with the incentives companies provide.
With them trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, many of Trump's die hard supporters are going to get a culture shock when they find out their health coverage from their employer terminated it because they are no longer forced to provide it. Or they'll keep hours lower to keep people from obtaining health insurance.
The Jobs and Tax Cut Act has added trillions of dollars of debt to the economy. The results of the tax cuts haven't produced the stability. It's still considered a very unpopular law.
Trump is destroying the economy. I won't say anything positive about him. Regardless of what happens, this is short-term success.
Trump, Mike Pence, the Republican senators who represent Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana as well as the representatives from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky came to the rally to embrace the KAG.
Trump held a rally in Cincinnati and it was controversial. They had a handful of protesters ejected from the event. A man served a protester a knuckle style chili outside the U.S. Bank Arena.
Trump mocked Elijah Cummings and his apartment being broken into. He attacked cities like Baltimore and criticized Cincinnati's mayor John Cranley for the protesters infiltrating his event.
