Don't you just LOVE hearing Trump supporters boasting about the %4.6 GDP...
WHOOPIE DE FRIKKIN LA!!!!
I ask them... "And YOUR GDP??" How's your income compared to 691 days ago???
Has your income boomed with a 4.6 percent raise? Are you seeing 4.6 more business?
They immediately quote exactly what Trump's advertisers have driven into their brains "WE SAVE ON OUR TAX BILL"...
Really???
Hmm... ok so the average American saved how much on their 2017 taxes... Trump's TEMPORARY TAX SAVINGS FOR THE AVERAGE WORKING MIDDLE CLASS POOR SLOB (like me)
Ready... A single filer's deduction increases from $6,350 to $12,000. Sounds like a lot...right.
WRONG
This is a scale tax cut for 94 percent of Americans that will be DISAPPEARING by 2025. At that point the $3 to $9 TRILLION... YES THAT'S 9,000,000,000,000 will be paid by whom....
YOU AND ME THE 94 PERCENT OF POOR SLOBS WHO JUST DIDN'T POP OUT OF A MILLIONAIRE BROTHEL OWNERS WOMB. All the rest of us who didn't have millions to invest in the 1970 THE LARGEST REAL GROWTH IN OUR COUNTRIES ECONOMY IN HISTORY.
The reality is the costs Trump is adding to our lives, the increases in the prices we pay for EVERY-DAMN-THING-WE-WILL-BUY now is astronomical...
wait... no it's "TREMENDOUS"
Walmart alone, you know that monopoly retailer who put hundreds of millions of stores out of business just to turn around and hire people at minimum wages, eliminate their health care, limit their hours of income... etc SAID THIS PAST WEEK THEY ANTICIPATE PRICE INCREASES DUE TO TRUMP'S TARIFFS AND OTHER ECONOMIC BLUNDERS.
The question is how much... a good conservative estimate is the average Walmart shopper will be paying $5-10 more every time they shop in the coming years.
ADD ALL THESE ADDITIONAL COSTS UP !!!
