    The claims where evidence was already requested.

    If you do not provide it in your next post, I will take that as an admission that you were lying.

    Do you always associate non-compliance with lying?

    Have you hit your head recently?

    Are you ok?

    Except for Biden promising to continue building Trump's wall, they've done literally nothing.

    PS - do you all Biden supporters now support the wall being built now that Biden has promised to continue with it?

    That's only true if they don't get anything worthwhile for their taxes. Here is an example.

    The number of 100k plus jobs in CA kept increasing during the pandemic. CA income tax withholding for January 2021 hit a record breaking 22.9 billion. To put it into perspective, TX revenue for the entire 2020 was 57 billion.



    Venture capital funding for CA. Notice CA venture capital funding is equal or higher than the rest of the US combined.



    Business creation in CA. Nuff said.

    Well, you provided no evidence for your claims.

    Thanks for admitting you were lying.

    Were you lying with your claims?

    What were your claims that you admitted lying about?

    "They estimate that the Kansas economy grew about 7.8% less, and employment about 2.6% less, than it would have had Brownback not cut taxes", holy shit! It actually managed to downturn growth and employment. That's actually impressive.

    The Kansas experiment was dumb. The often quoted Laffer Curve only says that there is a certain point between 0% and 100% where tax revenues are maximized. That point will differ from state to state. For Kansas, it is definitely not 0%. That should be obvious to even non-economists.

    I'm pretty sure the sweet spot on the Laffer curve isn't 0% for anyone. Not just Kansas.

    I know you are a ban evading alt, but Biden and Harris have been doing a lot of things, but they aren't in the media every day looking for a fucking cookie like Trump and his cult were.

    Biden has gotten the vaccines going, the stimulus, and several other things that I can't think of off the top of my head, but he has been doing tons of other things. By now, Trump would have golfed a couple dozen times, meanwhile Biden hasn't golfed once as far as I know.

    That has been thoroughly debunked with almost 50 years of study since the shit Reaganomics was passed.

    You're right, he should get credit for the pandemic and how badly the U.S. responded. Vaccine rollout though? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA No, not even one bit. He can take credit for not having one plan to get it out to people though.

    And yes, Elon Musk left California due to tax hikes. So did lots of others.
    So he left the U.S. or just California and went to another state?

    The only point you make is the economy didn't collapse, which doesn't disagree with my point in the slightest.
    Trump certainly tried to make that happen a few times.

    Fed Chair Jerome Powell tells 60 Minutes America is going back to work

    Used the term "inflection point".

    "Wait, didn't you say inflection points were bad?"

    Yes, because the last time we saw one, things went from "slightly worse than Obama-like growth" to "Trump's lethal outbreak forgets to use lube". Things are improving this time.

    I would say this. What we're seeing now is really an economy that seems to be at an inflection point. And that's because of widespread vaccination and strong fiscal support, strong monetary policy support. We feel like we're at a place where the economy's about to start growing much more quickly and job creation coming in much more quickly. So the principal risk to our economy right now really is that the disease would spread again. It's going to be smart if people can continue to socially distance and wear masks.

    Gotta say, this actual glad Infrastructure wee...month? Let's go with month. I'm glad Infrastructure Month is just bringing out all the ignorant assholes and racists who think there hasn't been any racism built into US roadways because they're either historically illiterate and/or racist. Likely both, but whatever.

    Y'all, John Cornyn is very concerned Biden isn't "in charge" because...he's not blasting out conspiracy theories and shit-talking people on Twitter. The fact that his social media accounts are "unimaginably conventional" is...bad?

    I'd have thought a return to a normal, functioning human being would have been welcome so that Cornyn wouldn't have to pretend he doesn't look at Twitter like he did for the past 4 years, but oh well.

    Apparently Psaki was asked about this and said this in response -

    I can confirm that the president of the United States does not spend his time tweeting conspiracy theories
    Well then what the fuck does he spend his time doing?!

    Fact.

    Arguing otherwise is an exercise of idiocy.
    You must have been outraged at the largest tax increase in generations made by the Trump administration then right?
    Yes Tariffs resulted in one of the largest tax increases ever by a president

    oh and like republican say, you know its the customer that pays all those tax increase not the corporations/business/rich.
    Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!
