I'm thankful for the Republicans here who aren't redhats and we have honest back and forths where facts aren't politicized to the fact that they are denied if not beneficial to the argument, good people  |
I just don't get this at all.
Our economy took a crap during the last four years of the Bush administration. I live in Lincoln, California, and we were the
fastest growing city in the country from 2000 - 2010. You could physically see the effect the economy had on my community. They couldn't build houses quick enough - New houses, schools, fire stations, shopping centers.... Our city was growing so quickly that they build a new town hall, and the police department moved into the old town hall. When everything stopped, EVERYTHING stopped. My entire community was brand new, five years old, and most of us had crappy loans. There was more vacant houses in my neighborhood than people. It was a ghost town. Our town started to close fire stations, and the police station couldn't afford to keep the new police station open so they moved back to the old one. They started to build a new restaurant a few blocks from my house - they got the frame up and then stopped. It stood there, just the frame, for four years until they finally took it down. They had entire condo complexes under construction where they had built the pads but then... Just stopped and the empty concrete slabs sat there for years.
It was staggering the impact this had on my hometown here.
Now we are building again.... I bike through one of the neighbor hoods where they are building and it's stunning - they are building four new houses a day. They have a huge concrete truck with a giant crane that fills in an entire ground floor and they are constantly going from lot to lot. We are even building a new school.
Trump didn't do this. He didn't snap his fingers and magically people started building again. He didn't give us the money to build. This started slowly two or three years ago. Trump hasn't done anything to fix the economy. Not one damn thing.
It's stunning that economy was bad six months ago, but now it's magically "great" even thought the numbers are the exact same.
