Get ready for the push of the homeless plight, Im in NYC. I started to notice more homelessness stories in the news a few weeks after the election. Like it wasnt a big festering problem before PDJT took office. I see it ramping up here. By Christmas, I bet the media here is in full homelessness is “Trump’s fault” mode.

So according to stupid Juan, the working man was better off on food stamps and unemployment.

And housing prices were OK because he was living in his mother’s basement.

As they say, you can’t fix stupid.

I’m an IT contractor. Raises have been non existent for me the last decade except for the last two years. Admittedly, I had to ask for the raises. but I got a 4% raise in 2017 and another 4% raise this January.

In fact, my contracting firm did something they don’t normally do. For the last one, since I was already at the maximum the client pays, they took it out of their cut.

The economy is definitely doing better, if only because they were willing to do that.

Juan Williams is a Fox News Affirmative Action hire, as is Shep Smith. We do not watch most of the Fox line up these days.

Hey, Juan, wasn’t 0bama running around taking credit for this economy? Didn’t he say, “I teed it up for him”?

You need to get with 0bama and synchronize your messaging.

One thing I found interesting: Many are saying that the shrinking middle class is a problem. The assumption is that the middle class is falling into poverty. What is really happening is that some are falling into poverty while others are being raised to the upper class.

So the shrinking is simply information, not BAD information. It depends on how it affects each individual.

“Juan called Robert E Lee a traitor on the “five””

When Robert E. Lee resigned his commission in the US army and joined the Confederacy he did in fact, in a technical sense become a traitor to the USA.

That desn’t mean he wasn’t an excellent general.

You beat me to it.

I was going to post the following, but never mind -

What is driving Democrats and the likes of Juan Williams crazy is the robust jobs market, reflected by low unemployment rate.

THEY know wages will rise when employers compete for better workers, and people move out from gubmint dependency.

Juan Williams? EEO dipped too deep into the whale sh!t and leaves to dig him out. He is constantly grasping for relevance.

I’ve already given him too much attention.

Juan, you ignorant slut.
As for me, the S&P 500
has been on a tear the last
week and a half, leaving
both the Nasdaq and Dow
in the dust. My portfolio
more than makes up for your
tears. And I am middle class.

The artificial definition of middle class needs to be updated.

Just like there will always be poor and the rich, middle class will always be there, whether “the many” ‘shrink’ it or not.

Moving along nicely, Juan. We still owed at tax time, but this year’s bill was a LOT lower than last year’s bill.

Best earnings year ever.

Remember this "oldie but goodie" one -

Pelosi: GOP tax proposal 'the worst bill in the history' of Congress

Worst bill (or pretty worse) for Democrats, that is.

... the middle class is getting squeezed to a pulp.

Really? The lower unemployment rate suggests what to you, you Leftist idiot? Do you really think the rich are "finally getting a job", or do you think the middle and below workers are the ones who benefited? I don't begrudge the rich a tax break, since the top 10% foot over 72% of IRS tax receipts and 51% pay nothing. To me, those 51% shouldn't even vote. After all, no skin in the game, why should you have a say in what happens? Also, how many of you have jobs because a poor person hired you? The rich drive this economy and being rich is a good thing, contrary to what this clown thinks.

Debt between March 30th 2018 and March 30th 2019 is $938 billion.

GDP between 1Q 2018 and 1Q 2019 is $1,022 billion.

'Growth' is $84 billion which is 0.418% over the space of a complete year.

Good luck out there. No real growth, just debt.

Poor old Juan, the fact that he’s always wrong has given him a mental state that can only be described festering delusion.
