Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Neat if true
It is because the dipshit's planning ten percent tariffs on everything coming into the united states.
That's a 10% increase in tax for all of us in the US across the board.
And if you have any savings, that's 10% less money you'll have.
If you don't have any savings, guess what happens when the price of everything increases 10%?
(This is also why flat taxes are stupid. It's because they're regressive.)
Well, 9.1% less money, but yes ;)
This guy calculates
"Hey Wall Street, which campaign are you donating the most money towards?"
In About-Face, Wall Street’s Big Donors Warm to Trump
That article is from May and only site's hedge fund billionaires.
I hear they've got a bit of money between them. You're talking about institutions that control roughly 80% of the entire S&P market cap.

Brain fart. Yeah
History shows Democrats are better for the economy than Republicans.
This is also true for literally any conservative government in the rest of the world too. Fascists are particularly bad for the economy (since they usually funnel all the money to themselves).
