Well said Mr Payne, “You have to have a job before you can be a consumer”.

Cleaning decades worth of mess isnt happening overnight. We have to restructure and make deep repairs.

I don't understand. My MA. city (Springfield) is almost all HUD subsidized housing, blocks of towers with 2'nd and 3'rd. generation welfare recipients who have no concept of work, the economy, half are functionally illiterate. Yet they complain about Trump endlessly. I've retired, don't have a lot, I'm good with all of this and I depend on MY OWN MONEY to live. Let's give it a chance, at least we don't have the giggling sock puppet at the helm.

It's like losing weight. It doesn't happen over night. It sucks during the process. It takes a lot of The end result is what you should focus

Common Sense USA = know who your friends are

[saveamericanfreedom]

A recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth we hit that a long time ago

[mattbarlow]

Thank you for publicly calling out and pushing back onthe whining and telling the truth on these matters about tariffs

[rogermartin]

Maria needs talk about the green card minority business owners not having to pay capital gains tax on profits, but the American owned business does. This tax exemption as written has to stop to create and even playing field for all.

If America doesn't want the 4 million barrels of oil a day from Canada, then just don't buy it. Simple. That would eliminate the trade deficit.

[herbolson]

President Trump should tax Canada for the GOLD they mine here in Nevada. Charge them 25% to ship the gold to BC.

It seems to me that the way we have things setup now it helps the middle class and the upper middle class to be able to buy things cheap from foreign countries.. but it kills the lower class because there are very few jobs other than working retail and fast food. This has to change to raise the standard of living in this country.

My bank account has been in a recession since Biden took office.
