    Default Serious Economic Conditions

    I’m confused Donald, which is it, best economy ever or serious economic conditions?

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/02/10/politics/trump-federal-employee-pay-adjustments/index.html


    In limiting federal pay raises, Trump cited his statutory authority to adjust pay because of "national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare," but the President frequently touts a growing US economy, including a strong growth rate for the gross domestic product and low unemployment.

    Trump's tax cut scheme resulted in trillion dollar deficits (exactly as liberals predicted), but Trump is going to blame federal employees for the unprecedented deficits he created

    He increased military spending in his latest budget, it’s shades of Kim and North Korea.

    I'm a retired federal employee, and a 1% pay raise wont even pay for their healthcare rate increases? As a retiree we got a measly 1.8% raise, and it did not cover my healthcare rate increases! I kept my federal healthcare insurances when I retired. What best economy ever?

    Nothing has really changed. Ronald Reagan thought Medicare was socialism, but he could not wait to throw money hand over fist at the Pentagon contractors.

    Republicans love spending money....but only on war and the military industrial complex

    This explains a lot. You've been sucking at the teat of government your entire life and feel entitled. You are not.

    You whining about a 2% health insurance increase while the average is rich when ObamaCare caused increases many times more than that.

    This also explains a lot. The railroads have been fucking America over for over 100 years. No wonder you're such a useless person. Compare the railroads in Europe with the shitty system that we have in the US.
