Migrant caravan abandons plan to travel to US border. The President vowed to send the US military to secure the border and threatened to axe the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) if Mexico did not stop the caravan.
Stocks rebounded gaining over 200 points today after being down by over 550. The news of the border crisis being averted and much higher job numbers than expected propelled the market.

That's the Art of deal! MAGA

If RealTool is to believed, then sillydummy is claiming that Trump is in league with the cartels.
The cartels are alive and well in the United States, thanks to Obama, but they finally have an enemy, that's Trump. Trump made Mexico jump to his commands and stop those nasties from reaching our borders.

The Mexican Senate passed a resolution seeking an end to bilateral cooperation with the U.S. against drug cartels. The resolution was passed in a unanimous fashion and sent to the White House, Members of the U.S. Congress, and Mexico’s Foreign Relations Officer, El Universal reported.
WOW that was timely. I'm on top of it dudes!

To hear it on CNN....they make it sound like that horde of wanna be trespassers
are on some kind of annual religious pilgrimage..!
and the CNN idiots are accusing the President is over reacting saying illegal crossings are at
an all time low....I guess what they are saying we should wait and not bother securing
our borders until the problem becomes unmanageable.....again :o :lol: :lol:

Already, there are 11 or 12 million illegal aliens here.

The Left doesn't know, even to the nearest million, how many there are.

But the Left hates America and wants to change it, so bringing in millions of illegal poor people sounds great to them.

Trump loses again

Unsurprisingly, stocks are in the dumper losing over 500 points today. The news of the border crisis not being averted because the caravan has not been stopped apparently propelled the market if RealTool is to be believed.

That's the Artlessness of Trump's deal! MAGGOT!

Don't you think the markets just might be responding to the escalation in Trump's trade war, silly?

And Trump has yet to say an unpleasant word about Russia. Instead he calls with congratulations.
Yeah, he's real BAD ASS with Russia, isn't he. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

silly, doesn't it make you wonder in the slightest just what the Russians have on Trump that he is so afraid to say anything against them?

Why are libtards so excited about bad news? They are actually celebrating China's tariffs on the United States on the left wing media. It was party time at CNN when the illegal got off in California for shooting the US citizen.

Well, I got back news for them, the United States is clamping down on illegals, the economy is sky rocketing and we're going to win the tariff war against China. :D

"Well, I got back news for them, the United States is clamping down on illegals,..."RealTool

It IS hilarious to see the conservatards and Trump finally supporting Obama's border control policies. :lol:

"...the economy is sky rocketing..."-RealTool

Trump is going to put a damper on THAT, unfortunately.

"...and we're going to win the tariff war against China."-RealTool

NOBODY wins a tariff war, dimwit. For some reason you morons are here cheering the possibility that China will bleed out before the U.S. economy goes into a recession. But that is unlikely to be the outcome.
China is an authoritarian government and they can simply tell the population to tighten their belts and ride it out.
Meanwhile, in the U.S. we have elections coming up and the farmers, manufacturers, and consumers are going to vote out the clowns who made them lose their farms, shut down their factories, and took away their cheap TVs and phones.
In other words, Republicans who are too chicken shit to stand up to Trump.

China sells $500 Billion a year more to the United States than they buy from us. If China stopped buying 100% of our goods and we did the same, that's $500 Billion a year re-invested in America. How is that bleeding out? MAGA!

it's just an adjustment....some little pain for a brighter tomorrow....
Liberals never bitched when Obama use to say,"It's going to get worse before it gets better.."
just before he took away the COLA for three years..! losing thousands over the life of your pension..
Stocks being down is nothing compared to that....! :o

#101660
Obama didn't take away anyone's COLA, you lying sack of shit.

The COLAs are calculated by a formula that the President has nothing to do with.
When there's no inflation, there's no COLA, just as any sane person would agree there shouldn't be.

And it saved taxpayers hundreds of billions over the life of your pensions, dimwit.
You know, a little pain for you now to secure a brighter tomorrow for America, as you just said. :o

Your a real tool Clown. Ojackass did not give those on SSAN a COLA for that last 4 years in office. Ya it saved Taxpayers billions yet that little old couple who lives off of $1200 a month could have used a COLA. But as usual you flaming libtards dont think anyone but the entitled Snowflake and DACA should have benefits.. My Granddaughter is a typical fucking Snowflake.. she feels shes entitled yet when she can get what she wants she throws a fit.. I have told her we need to get rid of DACA as its costing taxpayers millions ever year. But like you, she doesnt want to hear that.. So according to ilk like you. Only DACA deserves taxpayers paid housing, school, medical and welfare. Fuck those who put into it.. So much for the liberal land of unicorns and everyone being equal..

As always, namandgulfdumbfuck, you blowhards yack a lot but never refute a thing I say.

What part of "The COLAs are calculated by a formula that the President has nothing to do with." don't you understand?
The President can't give ANYONE a COLA, you moron. It is done by a formula put in place by Congress. And the Congress was controlled by Republicans during Obama's "last 4 years in office" when you claim COLAs were not given out.

If you imbeciles want to complain about 'no COLAs' under Obama, then you have to blame Congress who are the only ones who can give them, dimwit.
Regardless, when there is no increase in the measured cost of living, nobody with any brains believes there should be a cost of living adjustment to pensions.
I know, that leaves you out. Your handlers told you to be upset at Obama for not giving out COLAs, so you are upset at Obama for what the Republicans did.

Now, if you still want to argue with me about it, argue with the facts about who makes the laws about COLAs, not with your made up stupid shit that I never said anything about. (Clue: the President doesn't decide who gets COLAs. Never has and never will. Start there, dummy.)
By johnforbes
#101669
Sure, there's a formula.

But you can ask anybody who ever worked for the federal govt or got a SS check whether they always got the COLA which that formula technically dictated.
By Clownkicker
#101678
And it's your contention that WHATEVER they got was the result of the President personally deciding who got what, right, johnny? :lol:

Why are you feeding the ignorance of morons like namandgulf?

What do you get out of having a bunch of morons backing your cynically partisan side of things?
That sort of tool will turn on you, you know.
By johnforbes
#101684
I haven't been harsh on this because I realize not everybody knows the facts.

The formula is one thing, but what you get is often different.

Anybody who has ever worked for the fed govt can confirm the truth of that. See, e.g.:

"In his letter to Congress, the president reminded lawmakers that the federal pay raises that have taken effect in recent years have typically been lower than the adjustments set under statutory formula, citing “national emergency” or “serious economic conditions.”

Specifically, locality pay increases worth about $26 billion were set to average 26.16 percent next year. Presidents often adjust locality pay lower than what the statutory formula calls for, but Trump emphasized this point clearly, adding that a locality adjustment of this magnitude isn’t “warranted.”

Trump’s Aug. 31 announcement was mostly expected, as 1.9 percent raise for civilian workers is in line with the president’s full 2018 budget proposal. An annual across-the-board pay adjustment formula in the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act sets raises for most federal employees under the General Schedule. The president can choose to differ from this formula, and Congress can ultimately propose and pass any alternative numbers in its budget.

The Office of Personnel Management also referenced an expected 1.9 percent raise, when earlier this month it asked agencies to review and submit requests earlier for alternative pay rates for positions that are often difficult to fill.
The raise is just slightly below the 2.1 percent raise President Barack Obama ordered late last year.

And 1.9 percent is well below the raise some federal employees unions and organizations, as well as some members of Congress, called for earlier this year.

Michelle was on her fat American kick when they tried to do away with Cola and other items they considered not good for children. Then you look at Michelle is a 200 + pound pig and wonder if she's ever looked in the mirror.

Yes, the time COLAs come more dependably is before a presidential election.

There are various levels of control for different COLAs, such as Social Security, retired federal employees under CSRS, retired under FERS, and so on.

But the key reality is that the statutory formula is one thing, but what is given out is often different.

Barack and Michelle said Americans need to sacrifice you can't have you're donuts and cola too. But yet they both consumed lots of cola while in office, in fact Michelle's mother went from 89K to 168K a year as a special assistant for the children. She also has an official federal retirement as a result and you can bet her future cola consumption will YUGE.
