Meeks: Obama Put Economy on Right Track and Trump ‘Doing Everything’ ‘to Destroy That’
2019-06-02
That's certainly one perspective...
[BREITBART] On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s "Weekends with Alex Witt," Representative Gregory Meeks (D-NY) discussed President Trump’s threat to slap tariffs on Mexico over illegal immigration and argued that Trump "inherited" an economy that was trending in the right direction from President Obama, and Trump is "doing everything in his power to try to destroy that."

Meeks said, "Look, this president inherited an economy that was moving in the right direction. He should thank his soul that it was Barack Obama
That’s just how white folks will do you....
who put it together. He’s doing everything in his power to try to destroy that."

#8  Ronald Reagan - Do you believe you are better off now than four years ago?

#7  As for the credit for the economy, it isn't just Meeks who feels that way.

This is why I think it's naive to assume better economic times for blacks and Latinos will necessarily translate into votes for the GOP.

I get "expanding the base", but one can get too clever by half with that stuff.

You can put so much rhetoric and effort into it, that you ignore or even alienate the people who actually voted for you, while gaining nothing, or at least not gaining enough to make up for the loss.

We've already been down this road with the Bushes.

Meeks' attitude is a warning that Trump had better remember that mere boosterism is not a political strategy.

#6  And when Republicans controlled both houses and had a Republican in the White House, they didn't repeal it.

#5  ...and the IRS was extremely diligent in enforcing the Premium Tax Credit (the credit ($) the original uninsured receive from becoming insured). I have never seen the IRS so diligent and quick to respond to enforcing any tax matter under its purview.

#4  A Great summary by a Notre Dame University engineer.

Here are the 10,535 pages of Obama Care condensed to 4 simple sentences.

As humorous as it sounds..... every last word is absolutely TRUE!

1. In order to insure the uninsured, we first have to un-insure the insured.

2. Next, we require the newly un-insured to be re-insured.

3. To re-insure the newly un-insured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured.

4. The extra charges are required so that the original insured, who became un-insured, and then became re-insured,
can pay enough extra so that the original un-insured can be insured, so it will be 'free-of-charge' to them.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is called "redistribution of wealth" or, by its more common name, "SOCIALISM," or "PROGRESSIVISM", the politically correct names for COMMUNISM!

People who don't understand this are not capable of coming in out of the rain.

#3  Meeks is a racialist idiot. Obama was God because he was black. Between Meeks and Alex Witt they still had half a mind
