Take away their government subsidies such as housing, food and welfare money, and see where they are at.
Actually, only about 10% of the country are on government assistance programs, meaning half of the poor receive nothing. As a percentage of GDP, government handouts are at a pretty low point…
@LuFins-Dad Excluding social security and Medicare.

... the essential truth is that many of the poor in the U.S. have what they do because of government programs that do not exist in many other countries.
Can the same be said of the rich?

@Jolly Semi serious/semi joking question.
At what point in time do we start measuring how President Trump is doing with the economy?
Do we start from election day? Inaugeration day? some other time frame?

If we use the Jon Scale, it will be from inauguration until the next President assumes office.

I listened to a presentation last week by a Goldman Sachs analyst about Trump, Trade and Tariffs. One point made that really stood out was that Trump has repeatedly shown in past that he is very sensitive to how the market reacts to any of his policies. When the markets react like bears he tends to adjust his policies and statements to turn the markets into bulls.
Jon, your take on that?
Elbows up!

I would agree with that. He plays to the crowd, thinks of the stock market as his score card (though he’s likely to get to know the bond markets this term), and isnt embarrassed to do a volte face.

That's a bold arrow. For that graphic artist to be claiming that those numbers are going up. Stunning and brave.

I hope Trump doesn’t fuck this up but it’s not looking good.
I'm no economist. What are the implications of this. Does this mean people are being paid more (of course) but doesn't that also mean it's expensive as shit to build anything here? Or is this all sunshine and roses if you live in the US of A?
