Yet ANOTHER Trump triumph

Tricky one, Trump wants to lower oil prices which could cripple Russia economically, but drill baby drill might not happen because oil prices are already low and there's a glut of supply which means lower profits for US producers.

Red Ed will be making sure we still get screwed at the pumps though.

Wonder if I could claim asylum in US - for being oppressed.

What I don't understand is the USA economy has been doing really well for 20+ years. So why do they have such a massive budget deficit and national debt and why do they have so much poverty and inequality.

Depends on how you define "doing well".

If it is shifting an even bigger pile of wealth into the hands of fewer and fewer people, 'Murca could indeed be said to be "doing well".

IIRC, the 3 wealthiest people in 'Murca hold more wealth than that held by the poorest 50%.

I'm all for people doing well for themselves, but there comes a point when another million dollars makes no realistic difference. Let alone another billion.
 
Another master stroke from trump

Over turning the ban on plastic straws :giggle:
