  1. Thank you for pointing out my typo: 2.9% in December 2024, do put a pin in that!
  2. CPI in December 2024 was 2.9%, pit a pin in that: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/15/cpi-inflation-december-2024-.html
  3. I don’t recall so many climb downs and reversals in the first few weeks of any presidency.
  4. I think 6 months is about right, the effects are already showing with inflation, market volatility and chaos. Six months should be about right for these things to have gathered enough steam to start causing real damage.
  5. There’s been an election, Trump is President, what matters now if the impact of his policies and executive orders. I understand why you need to distract from what’s coming. How’s the price of eggs going?
  6. I don’t believe anything coming out of ‘DOGE’ all those claims of waste and cuts from Musk, the single biggest private recipient of Federal funding. The rightwing fixation with gender is a distraction for the easily distracted. The outcome of cuts is yet to be seen, a lot of Trump voters are going to learn just how much they rely on the Federal funding being cut.
  7. I think you made up that 98% and don’t know what a socialist is. What was your most recent username before this one?
  8. A Trump supporter touts the President of the U.S.bringing back plastic straws as a win. I think you made my pint for me.
  9. A very odd thing to say for someone who only joined the forum last Thursday.
  10. Republicans destroying the federal and state programs that millions of Americans rely on. The ‘Find Out’ stage will show up.
  11. Trump and the electorate are in their honeymoon period. His policies and his executive orders that survive u-turns and/or court challenges, have yet to deliver their outcomes. Idiot policies will deliver idiot results.
  12. That’s known as collective punishment. ’Raghead’ Noice!
  13. Are trying to deflect from the topic of discussion? Tug’s given you a list of just some of the good stuff Biden did.
  14. He didn’t remove the protections for small investors against financial fraud, that’s for sure.
  15. Things were not better during Trump#1. The news of shutting down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has arrived coincidentally with Musk launching a non bank bitcoin ‘enterprise’. Serendipity is a thing or at least so we must believe.
  16. Well that and the millions of de-registered voters.
  17. Precisely. Handouts of Federal dollars to good old GOP voting States. And they all scream ‘no socialism’.
  18. “ The only argument people have is ... ... "But you earned more" ... "That is correct, EARNED, and they took more" Must be a new definition of 'fair' that I missed ” It seems you missed the definition of Strawman.
  19. And there’s the two problems with Farage. He is a Marmite personality, but he’s also an owner of the Reform UK Ltd company and as such can’t be removed by anyone other than the co-owners.
  20. Well yes, that’s how progressive taxation works. And back in the heyday of America’s growing middle class and growing prosperity of ordinary working Americans taxes on the rich and corporations were higher. Then along came neoliberalism and trickle down economics, stripped the wealth of the middle classes and passed it up to the rich. Try figure out which side of that equation you’re on,
