New York Got $80 Million for Migrants. The White House Took It Back.
New York Got $80 Million for Migrants. The White House Took It Back.
The New York City comptroller’s office, which first noticed the missing money, said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had unilaterally taken the funds from the city’s accounts.
To be clear: this isn't the "we stopped paying promised grant money" but is literally the federal government yanking money out of an NYC bank account.

Whoops wrong again

Hard to read this chart. The poverty rate trend and US GDP as a % of G7 GDP is very clear.
-
Yes, it is very clear that trickle down economy doesn't and never worked.
-
Opposite. It is. Very clear it is working well.
-
Trickle down working to you means the poorest Americans have not increased in net worth and the wealthiest Americans are getting richer? How is that wealth, which is being funneled to to top, "trickling down". Maybe turn your phone right side up so you can see how the graphs are supposed to look.
-
GDP grow faster helps everyone.
-
Can you actually explain why you think that?
How does a faster growing GDP help someone in poverty?
-
We are talking about relative poverty. A person in poverty in the US is much better than a person in poverty in North Korea.
-
No one is talking about North Korea. We are talking about poverty in America then vs now. Trying to move the goalpost to include a completely unrelated datapoint is pointless.
You also completely ignored my rather direct question.
-
I didn't move the goalposts. I mean to show you why economic growth can help the poor. US has much higher economic growth than other developed countries in the last four decades.
