Wow. GOP Shill Michael “Shilly” Ramirez, must not have noticed that the stock market had it worst month in 7 years in October, that the deficit is exploding and that Obama left office with 75 consecutive months of job growth. He appears to also conveniently forget the Bush Recession which left us losing 750,000 jobs a month.
It is not clear to me that Mr. Ramirez will get away with this cartoon. The official line is that the Democrats are behind the caravan and are totally to blame for this terrible threat to our nation. But, “We need to reach the U.S. before the Democrats ruin the economy” tells the world that the caravan is actually some complicated Republican Plot, at least in Mr. Ramirez’ mind. Somebody should forward this to John Bolton for investigation.
Republicans saving the economy and Democrats ruining it ? History has shown the truth to be exactly the opposite. It’s not going to be any different this time around, Trump will ruin the economy ( not to mention the environment and a host of other things ) before he leaves office. The next Democratic president will have to fix everything again. History repeats itself with sickening predictability.
To all faithful followers of Trump. Buy Iraqi dinars. Trump is about to bring the dinar back up to par with other countries. He’s invested millions in it himself. Buy dinars and your investment will be worth 200 times that investment next month.
Stocks went way out of sustainable range long before Trump because with near zero interest rates it has been the only place to try and stay even. Interest rates are now rising and national debt service is already almost as large as the defense budget which means the Democrat Socialist Cloward-Piven/Venezuela tax and spend bankruptcy plan could well come to fruition. Which political party gets hurt worst financially is a wash since Democrats have become the party of the rich at the top and open border “safety net” recipients at the bottom with Republicans rich at the top and middle class taxpayers at the bottom.
What thinking person would advertise in Sheldon Adelson’s Las Vegas Review Journal? If I lived in Las Vegas I would buy a Copy just to find out who spends money on this Rag. If the paper starts loosing bundles of Cash I’m sure Adelson will dump it. Anybody live in Vegas? Can you find out who their biggest advertisers are?
For all you Ramirez haters a question. Why do you even read this strip? You will never agree with it, but you don’t even try to start a rational debate on the issues it presents. All I see the vast MAJORITY do is scream and wail and call names.
Sorry, Mikey. The economy will do better under Democratic presidents, a lot better. Even economists are confused by it. The most authoritative recently completed study was in 2016 by Princeton economists Alan Blinder and Mark Watson.
Here’s the first sentence: “The U.S. economy has performed better when the president of the United States is a Democrat rather than a Republican, almost regardless of how one measures performance.”
Uh, ever notice when Bonespurs sticks to a teleprompter he comes off half-way sane, but being himself?? Well born with silver spoon Bonespurs always had someone to cover for him, when he listened to them, he made money, when he did his own way, like casinos = bankruptcy. Just what he plans for the country, and his same creditors from the casinos will be raking in the bucks then too. (But Trump will be out raking our forests in his retirement.)
Geeze. I’m getting tired of pointing out that the right wing cartoonists aren’t even trying to base their stuff on reality. “Look at the facts!” I think to myself. Then I just have to shrug it off. Or make a scathing comment… and THEN shrug it off. (shrugs).

I’m sure Mr Ramirez is anticipating the Republican House for causing the coming crash even before they take office.

This is what happens when you base a cartoon on what you see inside your alt-reality bubble?

Anyone remember the phrase that emerged in 2008; “too big to fail”? Anybody remember what it was like in 2008? Regrettably, it didn’t get bad enough.

According to mr. drumpf our economy is doing great so why can’t we help those people coming up from Central America?

The Dow has lost ALL gains from the year 2018. The deficit projected to double. Trumpublicans adding $8.3 trillion to debt over next four years.
Republican liars always ruin the economy. Democrats always fix it.
FJB Premium Member over 5 years ago
First time democrats are mentioning the deficit since their guy added more to it than every other President before him, combined.
