    The farmers will probably need another bailout by and by. The market for U.S. soybeans sold overseas has been usurped by other countries due to the Toadstool's stupid tariff war.

    Still stuck on stupid I see. Do your taxes yet? Get your idiot bonus back? How’d you do? I had to reduce my withholding again. Got a $300 refund! Annual fed revenue down 2%? You’re gonna have me dancing in the streets!

    Conservatives always invoke unverifiable personal anecdotes to paper over the deficit of evidence in everything they think, believe, and do.

    That's it? Average refunds are in the $2K range, which means the wages you get are very low.

    You must make next to nothing.

    Do you make so little because your job is to post trash on message boards?

    We have more than enough data at this point - Reagan, Dumbya Bush, and Trumpf - to know what the goal of trickledown economics is.

    Republicans intentionally and deceptively manufacture massive budget deficits, Republicans intentionally mismanage the nation's treasury -- all so they can later claim that we cannot afford to have Medicare, Medicaid, or to spend on social welfare, education, and environment.

    Dang are you dense! There's basically 2 types of people that get that $2k idiot bonus: a high school kid with a part time job(they usually get back EVERYTHING they paid in, they're just giving the government a short term interest free loan, and learning to be good little tax payers)and married, claiming zero. People getting small or no idiot bonuses are either not making much, or making so much that they have to have an additional amount withheld over and above the standard withholding statuses, or they end up writing a HUGE check to the government every year. That's me. The good thing about it is, I can adjust the over and above amount to the point where I get a small refund, I get zero back, or I write a small check to the damn IRS. For 2016, I wrote a check for $48. For 2017(no russia tax cut, remember?)I got a idiot bonus of $666. I filled out a new W-4, reducing my supplemental withholding by $55 a month(666 divided by 12). For 2018, I do my return and get ready to write a check, but to my chagrin, I find I am getting back $300! Back to the W-4 drawing board for another $25 dollar adjustment! The wonderful thing about this is, that money goes right back into my pocket and not to the government! It's almost like getting a raise. I know, I know...I'm lying. Whatever. I'm not replying to this thread anymore, because you got a head like a rock. Enjoy being the government's bitch

    Of course you provide no source for your made up bullshit lies. That's good enough for the liberal drones, lol. Libs have to make shit up to downplay the booming economy.

    https://www.investors.com/politics/e...or-themselves/

    The latest monthly Treasury report on taxes and spending shows that gross tax receipts in February were $1.4 billion higher than the year before.
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKCN1S9075

    The Labor Department's closely watched monthly employment report on Friday showed the greater-than-expected 263,000 new jobs created last month were spread across most industry sectors, and the unemployment rate was just 3.6%, the lowest since December 1969.
