News You Can Use

The next President of the United States explains it to you.


"Don't let anybody tell you that it's corporations and businesses that create jobs."

So who is actually creating jobs? Give me your best guess in the comment section.

Hilary's a**?

I can't do better than Ben, and it is frightening--terrifying--along the lines of the shower scene from "Psycho"--that there are people who believe Hillary/Brian Johnson when she says something that mind-numbingly stupid.

Maybe she's "Back in Crack", to paraphrase the thunder down under (and Ben! Ha!)? She ought to lose all her degrees and accreditations for that one, from her law degree/license down to kindergarten graduation. And her drivers' license, and definitely her voter registration card.

'trickle down' is a straw man. business, wealth transfer and job creation, dont work that way and never have.

Trickle down is how politics works though. a big pot of money that filters its way through the connected and powerful with those at the bottom receiving progressivly smaller amounts.

whenever libs try to discuss 'trickle down', switch the topic to unicorns. its just as real.

Gino, actually, it works wonderfully. Imagine "Scrooge McDuck" with his daily billion bucks. What can he do with it?

Well, spend it, give it away, or invest it, no? And thus we would conclude that no matter what, someone else is going to benefit from Scrooge McDuck's billion. So trickle down not only works, it's also more or less demanded by logic and the laws of economics.

Finally watched Mr. Johnson's (oops, Hillary's) talk, and notice how many pauses she verbalizes as she gets ready to beat down trickle-down. I would guess that she doesn't believe what she's saying.

Pretty bad when you get that level of speaking when you've got your notes right in front of you, and it's something you've been saying for what--the past 30 years or so.

bubba: your scenario is not trickle down. when $$ is invested, the money is paid forward, to engineers and builders who put the plan into action (starting a factory, for ex, or a bail bond bizness), then workers to produce/salesmen to sell, only after years of paying it forward (re-investing to coninue building) does the investor reap his rewards of profit.

thats not trickle down. the man with cash gets paid last... often times years after his first dollar is paid down.
