Incredible climb from our previous guy and even up from trumps last term final approval rating in 2020.
This country is massively fvcked.
They deserve that low approval rating for just sitting back and being little bitches while morons dismantle the government
So still above the guy you supported.....got it and ty for pointing out that Trump is way more popular than anything the left has to offer and its not even close...
I no longer question why you constantly whine about your finances.
I whine about lies. You whine about me. You're weird
Trump is out over his skies on some things. He's also going so fast a lot is being missed. They should slow down a little and exude a more thoughtful approach to shrinking government. The broadsword approach will alienate some folks but if it all works they will come back. I don't think most people understand the relationship between our debt and the inflation we are experiencing. It's a lot of factors that go into the inflation problems but one of them is most assuredly government debt. And that is definitely a significant factor in why we have interest rates around 7%.
His plan is to go as fast as possible so there’s too much to handle all at once if you oppose it.
Also cutting programs and agencies to then have a tax budget that will add 4.5 trillion doesn’t make much sense. That won’t solve inflation.
He doesn't have a tax budget that will add $4.5T. The left loves to make those kinds of statements but they never pan out. Government is far too large. Cut it by 80% and then we can look into things.
80%? Do you understand what that would entail? The only way to eliminate 80% is completely eliminate Medicare and Social Security.
I’m not sure how you are denying the tax cuts the house has passed with his full support. There are republicans in the senate who are building a budget without those tax cuts so it’s not a “left” thing.
Cutting government by 80 percent? I’m not sure you understand what that even means. The government spent 6.75 trillion dollars in 2024. So you think our government and society can function on only 1.35 trillion.
Social Security was 1.4 trillion in 2024. DoD was 800 billion. Medicare was 900 billion. Medicaid was 600 billion.
So where is this 80% coming from?
Exactly. We do not have a revenue problem. We have a massive spending problem. There are two ways this gets solved and neither deals with more taxation. That is completely out of control as well.
I am talking about the people in the government. We can't hurt people by removing promised programs. I would never advocate such a thing.
Though imagine we'd gone with W. Bush"s plan to privatize SS. The money contributed would have nearly quadrupled by now. And presto, no more shortage problem. The story of SS is the greatest theft in history and a perfect example of why the government should be responsible for as little as possible. They are all thieves.
The Democratic party is acting like a puppy that just got the snip-snip and has the cone of destiny on right now. All they can do is say stuff. They don't appear to actually be able to do anything about what Trump is doing because they are the minority in Congress.
Just my observations, so far.
Ehhhh if Bush got what he wanted, SS solvency might not have survived the 2008 financial crisis. Also it empowers corporations over citizens to tie our retirement completely with shareholders value. It further incentives the federal government to subsidize companies over people and makes businesses dependent on our taxes. It's a bad road to go down. But corporations would just love all our tax money I'm sure.
Rasmussen has him at 51% approval and 47% disapproval (and Rasmussen was very accurate on the final vote predictions unlike a lot of pollsters)
Well the alternative has been for government to steal all the money. They've stolen it for generations and there's no reckoning for that.
The fact is the money would be worth vastly more and it would have been protected from the predations of government stealing it. I can't see the downside to that. Every other form of retirement is in the market and they are all better than SS. Why stick with the lowest performing means?
Thanks for showing us all how manufactured consent works. Theres other alternatives than what you said. It's not either or.
I maxed out SS contributions last year... Why? They should raise the contribution limit. It would solve the funding issues.
Again, I find many many issues with tying SS to shareholder value. Why are we in such a rush in this country to privatize profits and make public the losses? If SS was tied to stocks, every recession would be too big to fail situations and we would all be claiming the government made bad investments. Large corporations could never die even with bad business models. Sounds like a bigger issue.
I would be fine with increasing contributions. But that being said, there needs to be a reckoning over what transpired when the government stole countless trillions of dollars from the American people. This is not a program that is operated in good faith. Would you be opposed to such a reckoning?
Now 44% 📉
WASHINGTON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating has ticked slightly lower in recent days as more Americans worried about the direction of the U.S. economy as the new leader threatens a host of countries with tariffs, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
The six-day poll, which closed on Tuesday, showed 44% of respondents approved of the job Trump is doing as president, down from 45% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted January 24-26. Trump's approval rating stood at 47% in a January 20-21 poll conducted in the hours after the Republican's return to the White House."

Worst approval rating after 1 month any president has ever had. Americans haven't felt the force of President Musk's cuts yet either. It'll be in the absolute tank if/when they start slashing entitlement benefits, IRS refunds are heavily delayed, tariffs drive prices up, etc etc. The Fed meets in about a month and with the way inflation and economic indicators or going, I bet we get rate increases.
Pretty sure the guy you're talking to is a libertarian "taxation is theft"/"there should be no government welfare" type of guy
Ah that makes more sense. So not really in touch with reality.
Yeah social security isn't stealing trillions of dollars. The fraud that happens with entitlements is carried out by private contractors. If the government was *more* involved and had to rely on fewer contractors there would be less waste. I have a family member who worked on a massive medicare/medicaid fraud lawsuit. Doctors and administrators within the local hospital system defrauded the government of $500m (roughly) via kickbacks and false charges. That is where the waste come from, not regular folks getting checks
No way the private sector tries to take advantage as much as possible.
Yeah when oversight is defunded (like Elon slashing IRS), fraudsters run rampant. When programs and services are funded properly they work well. The conservative playbook is to defund stuff so it doesn't work well and use it not working well to privatize it
Biden's Third-Year Job Approval Average of 39.8% Second Worst
Biden averaged 39.8% job approval during his third year in office, the second-lowest third-year average for recent presidents.
