Exactly so. And most Americans decided we're tired of it. We're ready to try
something else, not another four or eight years of
more of the sameBut you really don't know this for sure do you. Your just assuming the same ole BS that we've had forever will be the same BS for the next 4 to 8 years. So you decide to throw your whole wad into the pot and make one last big gamble on the biggest gamble this Country has ever seen. Sorry but your bad gamblers. Trump is not a good bet. While I really 'get it' I truly do Snake and X-Ray and I truly feel the frustration and pain as well, but this man is way too dangerous. He's a hot head (even more than me if you can believe that) and unpredictable. Many of us are still climbing out of that horrific recession (depression in some peoples minds) and now we're due for another one under this guys rein. The markets hate uncertainty and a Trump Presidency means a whole lot more uncertainty. "
Here's a few thoughts for you,
We have an economy that is already in a low-earth orbit of slow growth, and when you layer on top of that significant uncertainty that tends to prompt both consumers and businesses to hold back and that's how economic slowdowns and recessions are made.
Protectionism in particular is arguably the policy that could most easily lead Trump to directly cause a recession. Trump has repeatedly threatened to start trade wars with overseas partners – most notably China – by assigning large tariffs to foreign-made goods, which he sees as taking away American jobs. Forcing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. will raise the production cost. While it may provide jobs temporarily, the rest of the country will have to subsidize the new job creations by paying higher prices. The rest of the world will not buy the U.S. products due to the higher prices. Therefore, protectionism is not sustainable. In the case of a trade war, American-made products would not only be more expensive due to higher labor costs, but because foreign trade partners would likely impose tariffs on American exports in response, making them more expensive.
None of the above is crap I'm pulling out of you know where, this is fact. I wish I was making this stuff up. Read it, the 'facts' are out there, not just "propagandistic claims".
http://money.usnews.com/investing/artic ... -recessionI could go on and on because I'm livid about the stupid choices
some voters made. We ALL should have done better in our research study and voting and if we ever get another chance to actually do better, We all really could have done better to where Clinton or Trump were not our only options if we all just would have made a better effort. We have ourselves to blame. .... God help us if we don't learn once again that ignorance and apathy don't make for good choices.
So sorry for being a d*ck to you both. Or maybe I'm not.
