Trump is doing Obama's job right now. No excuse for how poorly Obama has done.

Trump is creating a different tax system to help everyone, from the poor to the rich (lower taxes for all). Yeah, Trump took advantage of loopholes in the system as all businesses do. But there are ways to help to keep jobs in America too.

I hope companies would have some pride to come back to America, instead of just buying back stock and crap like that. If not, then they are digging our grave. But I'm sure a little pressure in the right places will work.

ems - i understand you are supporting trump and believe in his plans. can you post links on how trump's trickle down plan will help the economy? can you also post links on how trumps tax cuts will help the economy? from many accounts of independent financial experts, his plans will not help. i would like to read some articles on where it will - i'm genuinely curious to read the other side of it.

as for the carrier jobs - yes, to those 1000 employees, trump did his job. but the other people of indiana are now helping to pay for those jobs to stay - without their consent. i'm glad those 1000 people can keep working - but the full financial ramifications are yet to be determined until a few years from now. i can't deny the optics of it but when it comes to politicians, we need to look closer.

Trump doesn't have a trickle down plan. We all know trickle down economics doesn't work.
Everyone, from poor to rich gets a tax break. More money, more spending. I have no links to give, you can search, but trying to find anything remotely positive on MSM is going to be hard, might have to go to alt media. What we all know now, is what we are doing doesn't work. Sending jobs overseas and making companies richer is not going to work. We need something drastically different and we need to take a big chance cause this economy is on its last gasp.

I will search for some information but it is all theoretical, right? I mean, what works? Were there studies that Reagonomics would work? As long as we keep spending more money than we take in, having wars and killing all around the world, sending jobs overseas, taxing people to the point that they can't survive, etc. we are not going to succeed as a peoples.

Re Carrier jobs, would you rather pay unemployment for 1,000 people for 2 years or whatever it may be? Do the math. The tax money those workers pay in a few months alone will pay for itself. $700 per person per year to keep 1000 jobs in the country. That is a no brainer and you do that every day of the week, as the alternative is suicide.

What are you talking, they are cutting Corporate taxes to 15%, also tax holiday to bring money from overseas...

Can you be more clear? I have posted his numbers before. I am aware the tax cuts are across the board.

I know it's MSM but here goes the dude from Goldman:

Thanks, was interesting. I don't know much about tax cuts. I was under the assumption that trickle down was more just in that direction (rich to poor) but that Trumps tax cuts are across the board. So, the economy is not (just) stimulated by companies having more to spend and bringing jobs home but also cause people at the bottom, in the middle, etc. also have more to spend.

I found this article, was written by a person who helped Trump, Kudlow, Clovis, etc. with the plan.

Trump's Plan Isn't Trickle-Down Economics

http://www.newsmax.com/Finance/StephenMoore/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-trickle-down-economics/2016/10/04/id/751523/

Hillary Clinton keeps bashing the Trump tax plan as "trumped-up trickle-down economics." This class-warfare card has become the standard and tired response to every Republican tax reform plan for 30 years.

No wonder we haven't cleaned out the stables of the tax code since the Reagan era. Democrats have no interest in doing so.

Clinton's claim is that the plan will blow a hole in the debt (which is rich coming from someone who worked for an administration that nearly doubled the debt in eight years) and that the benefits all go to the rich. She also says it will cost jobs and could even cause a recession.

I worked on devising the Trump tax plan with economists Larry Kudlow, Sam Clovis and others, so I know a little bit about the costs and the benefits.

The Democrats subscribe to an amazing ideology that says that letting businesses keep more of their own money will cause the economy to capsize but a $1.5 trillion tax hike on businesses and investors will create jobs. Yes, and injecting Elmer's glue into your veins is a good way to prevent a heart attack.

Let's start with her claim that the plan will cost $5 trillion. That's wrong. When taking into account the higher economic growth from the lower tax rates on businesses and workers, the plan's "cost" is about half that size. The Tax Foundation finds the plan will raise the GDP growth rate by almost 1 percentage point over a decade, and that means lots of jobs and additional tax revenue for the government. The best way to balance the budget is to put Americans back to work.

The $2.5 trillion "cost" of the tax cut can and will easily be made up by cutting government spending. Over the next decade the government is expected to spend almost $50 trillion. Surely, with sound, business-like leadership, we can save 5 cents on the dollar.

Next, she says that tax cuts have never worked to revive the economy. We believe that cutting taxes for 26 million small businesses will be a huge incentive for more hiring and expansion by businesses that are now taxed at as high as 40 percent. The American Enterprise Institute finds that the biggest beneficiary of a business tax cut is the American worker, whose wages will go up from more capital spending. If a trucking company goes from 50 trucks to 75, that's 25 more truckers it will need to hire.

Clinton needs a tax-cut history lesson. "Supply-side" tax rates were at the heart of the Reagan economic plan in the 1980s. The Reagan expansion, with lower taxes, was twice as powerful as the anemic Obama recovery, with higher taxes and more government spending. The difference in the two recoveries is nearly $3 trillion in lost output. Similarly, the John F. Kennedy tax cuts got us 5 and 6 percent growth. JFK was right: The best way to raise revenues is to "cut tax rates now." Even Bill Clinton agreed to a capital gains tax cut, which led to a gusher of new federal revenues.

Next, Clinton claims that only rich people such as Trump himself will benefit from this "trumped up" tax plan. She obviously hasn't read the tax plan. By design, the tax rate reductions for the rich are offset almost dollar for dollar by the loss of $250 billion a year in tax deductions for rich people. So, the overall tax burden of most millionaires and billionaires is not changed. Almost all of the benefit in dollar terms from the tax plan goes to the middle class (and owners of small businesses). We think they deserve a break after a decade that has wiped out financial savings of the middle class. With Obamacare premiums rising by 10 to 30 percent in many states this year, families need the tax cut desperately.

The nonpartisan Tax Foundation calculates that the Trump tax plan causes a rise of after-tax income by about 8 percent, or $4,000 for the average middle-class household, while the Clinton plan shrinks incomes.

What Clinton isn't telling you is that she and her liberal friends are against tax cuts because they want to spend the money on "free" everything. This includes the silliest idea of all time: hundreds of billions for 500 million solar panels. Get ready for a cascade of dozens of new Solyndras. How much money is going to go to Elon Musk from this corporate-welfare giveaway? It could be in the tens of billions of dollars. So, whose policies benefit the rich and the political class?

Hillary Clinton is offering the American people trickle-down government.

When has that ever worked?

so...

rachel maddow just revealed that indiana will be paying $700K/year to carrier to keep the jobs in the US. it is tax payer money that the governer (pence) can approve. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

700,000 USD / 1,000 workers = $700 per person per year.
How much would the average worker get per month? X 12
Sounds like a good savings to the State and a creative way to care about American workers, Thank God it is about time.

Looks like Obama was wrong here...

Not really accurate the heading on the clip is it???..What Obama is referring to is NAFTA and all the jobs has disappeared since NAFTA was implemented...85% due to automation and technology by the way,DJ posted the link in the other tread about this already...How is he going to bring those jobs back when Trump himself has his ties and shirts made overseas??..Are Trump ties now going to be made in the US???

Can you see no joy in anything, seriously? He just saved 1000 jobs and you and other Hillary supporters have nothing positive to say.
Trump is doing Obama's job right now. No excuse for how poorly Obama has done.

Window dressing, dog and pony show, outside of this particular act, Trump is angling to do the exact opposite of what he ran on..He is already waffling on his populist message..I don't care, I never believed anything he said anyway, so no shock there...

I expect that the actual deal was something Pence was working on.

Remember...Trump is good at getting credit/publicity for things he did not do...this is one of the most egregious examples:

I know it was not originally an offensive symbol...but neither was the swastika, a design used thousands of years before the Nazis.

If you actually go to Alt-Right sites on the web or check out certain Twitter accounts you see Pepe on a regular basis.

Anyone using this symbol in a political discussion is getting called out by me if I happen to see it. "Alt-Right," Neo-Nazi, White Supremacy stuff has no place around here.

I understand that we have some folks around here with racist views, but using something now listed as a symbol of hate by the ADL does not see appropriate around here.

Trickle down surely works... raining down does not...

No one will never be satisfied with what is trickling down and no one should.
Humans need to stay motivated to even move the finger not talking about working hard.

Wealth distribution will get out of hand even more...Trickle means more profit for executives... a bitter way of describing it is "trickle over," or "Trickle Up." Add the minimum wage hike aversion by the GOP and continued attempts to weaken unions, and things are going to get ugly at some point.
