So Clayton wants to “encourage American companies to do what they do best: create jobs”. Where are all the people complaining that the purpose of companies is to produce some saleable product and make a profit, not to employ people?
Jan 05th, 2017 - 06:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why are there no sarcastic comments saying that if the thing American companies do best is create jobs, it's not surprising the economy is in trouble?
I wonder why people are so quick to criticise the Argentine government for such statements, but have nothing to say when it's the US one?
With Macy's just announcing they are laying off 10,000 workers things are not looking great yet.
Jan 05th, 2017 - 08:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Don't forget Sears and K-mart as well. January 2009 the GOP added them the Obama's responsibility, let's be consistent.
Jan 06th, 2017 - 11:38 am - Link - Report abuse +1Interesting hofuw in 2011/12 Trump wanted Assange shot, now he's a super hero better qualified than all the USA intelligence agencies combined......interesting .
The GOP's first budget actions will add 9.7 trillion to the debt, and they are ok with it. That if only first week action!!
And, if that is not enough, Trump is asking congress for money to build a wall......what happened with Mexico paying it? Are the AMERICAN trumpets feeling betrayed yet? Just wait Trumpsters, it will get more transparent how you got screwed.
A couple of county jails here in Massachusetts offered their inmates to help build it.
How many companies has the CFK of NorthAmoland already threatened with import restrictions, taxes, or even freezing of funds?
Jan 06th, 2017 - 01:16 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Where are all the ANGLOS in this forum who for 8 years excoriated CFK for her anti-business practices and for restricting flow of currency (let's remember Trump also wants to limit individuals transfers of money abroad, and also has threatened any company who thinks of relocating HQ overseas)... WHERE ARE YOU?
All very very quiet. I guess it's ok when an Anglo-saxon is the cheap demagogic populist, but not ok when a Latin-Romanic is.
@ CP The Trumpets don't seem the type to ever admit they are wrong about him.
Jan 06th, 2017 - 05:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@ TTT I condemned CFK's actions and condemn Trump absolutely. You are getting confused and seem to forget most of us opposed Trumps election to President. There are always the few that are hypocrites. Mostly old white men.
Elaine I am finding todays headlines the most interesting from the Trumpeters POV....
Jan 06th, 2017 - 06:28 pm - Link - Report abuse +2“GUESS WHO IS PAYING FOR THE WALL?”
Not the articles, but the comments. In one there were around 9,000 comments and you had to really scour to find a trumpeter. The one's that I did find, the typically gist of the response was:
“well who cares who pays for the wall as long as those criminals are keep out. We can use the trillions we save from reversing Obamacare”
I really don't think that they really read much. The first week of the new year and the first actions are creating almost a 10 trillion debt increase. Those drinking that kool-aid must realize that it must taste like piss water. That other Trumpeters, the quiet regretful ones are certainly rubbing their sore asses. I say this without pleasure as I live here.
@ CP
Jan 06th, 2017 - 07:08 pm - Link - Report abuse +1The wall is going to be a fence and not much different to what is already there. Trump will say it was metaphorical anyway. He never had any intention of fulfilling his promises and his only interest is ….. yup…..Trump.
Does anyone know how many millions he owes to the Russians? Do you think the Trumpets realise he is pretty much owned by the Russians? What a strange situation for the U.S. to be in.
I don't read the comments sections of national newspapers anymore. They are full of nutters and malcontents. It is actually sad to know there are so many ill-informed and painfully stupid people taking time to post.
This is just another joke like the following: https://www.ft.com/content/df3a1dc4-d45b-11e6-9341-7393bb2e1b51?ftcamp=published_links%2Frss%2Fhome_us%2Ffeed%2F%2Fproduct
Jan 06th, 2017 - 11:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well finally the major news outlets are catching on. I was one of the first ones to compare Trump to CFK in economic policy:

“In the U.S., car production crosses the border several times because of supply chains. In Argentina, parts don't crisscross borders as much.”
Jan 07th, 2017 - 03:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wouldn't this make the effect of tariffs even worse in the US than they were in Argentina?
But I don't expect the US to learn from Argentina's example anyway. Too many people there seem to think America is special and not subject to the same laws as other countries.
Fidel...aka Tobi, I am right here....where the fuck are you? Ever get the sex change? As the only likely estadounidense de norteamercano, I know my country is fucked......at least for two where the hope lies in one house being retaken.
Jan 08th, 2017 - 02:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I mean, now there is a plagiarist on his team. There have been ZERO ethics vetting....0.
So wtf is your point tobi? He is my president of my country and I am pleased to feel that my country is the new Argentina......leadership wise anyway.
So again you racist little pig, wtf is your point that you fail to delivery from the safety of Canada?
