Gary Varvel for March 02, 2018

“It’s the stupid economy”?

Are those dwarf elephants in donkey costumes? The real Democrats are currently talking about Dreamers and mass killings, with a side order of the environment.

Thanks Obama!

Yep, fast food jobs are up. But…manufacturing jobs are still fleeing the country and retail stores are closing all over the country. What was that about consumer confidence? Remember that CCI is based primarily on short term expectations and changes every month. No economist worth his salt puts much reliance in these numbers since it is the trends over time that tell the real story. Politicians use the CCI as a feel-good reasoning to bolster their own image which is of course dangerous since it changes so often. Real jobs and not taking away teen’s jobs is the only solution.

Let’s see if Gary reruns this toon in October.

It’s the lying, the cheating, the ignorance, the treason…the mental illness. The economy is nowhere near as important as our basic aspirational values without which we are doomed as a country.

At some point, some brave, honest republican (who is not retiring) is going to confront the traitors and liars. It happened in the past when the republicans lost their minds during the communist witch hunts.

“Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?” Joe Welch, lawyer, challenging Joe McCarthy.

…brave, honest republican…an oxymoron?

Trump says he will impose a tariff on Steel and Aluminium, Dow drops nearly 400 points… it might be the economy soon.

Varvel ignores that wages for working Americans have been stagnant for years! Varvel ignores growing income inequality in America! Varvel idolizes our Ignoramus-in-Chief!

Last time a Republican administration started with tax cuts and a great economy, it ended with two wars and worldwide economic disaster… “Have you learned from your mistakes?” “Yes, I think I can repeat them perfectly.”

Stock market down over 2,000 points since Jan 26.

Give a little while, this is the “stable genius” who tried to sell steaks at an electron toy store. (Sharper Image)

Jobs were down, Confidence was down, the Stock Market was down; they were always at an all time low for eight years under Obama..

Hey ING, just like your image, there is no nucleus to your comment.

Does a Republican Varvel actually work for the Trump Campaign or the RNC? Yes, after Republicans left us losing 750,000 jobs a month, things turned around under Obama and we are now in the 88th consecutive month of the Obama Jobs Recovery.

Stocks dropped today because of Trump’s tariff tweet. China only supplies 3% of US steel. They could retaliate with soybean tariffs or blocks. Since 80% of US soybeans are GMO and many other countries don’t want GMO it could be very difficult to find other buyers.

Add in the massive deficit because of the stupid tax cut. The CEOs told the Republicans they would be buying back stock, implementing automation, pay down their debt and initiate mergers – these DECREASE jobs.

There isn’t any part of that view of the economy the Repubs should be proud of and it will get worse.

@ING- Where have you been the last 10 years and how could you not have known that all the problems you described were created by your buddy Bush Jr. and his greedy billionaire masters. Also how could you not know that all of that was steadily improving under the Obama administration. Do you not read anything. Do you not know that it is all recorded now in our history books. Man…what a moron.

Deficit set to balloon, massive dive in the stock market, jobs soon to be lost when the trade wars begin. Yep, he’s making the country grate again. Just like Herbert Hoover.
