USAID may be the biggest scandal in American History.

Lol. The US is probably the only country that disregards everything that matters when calculating inflation.

So you have the true inflation numbers. Lack of understanding is how we got here. If anyone tries to explain to you all how things work, yall get offended because someone is talking down to you. So we should just let people believe nonsense. You know better than economist? Gotcha....

Intellectual dishonesty, got it. You don't have to pray for something that is going to happen. But carry on....you will be blaming liberals soon.

I understand it is provocative to be accused of intellectual dishonesty. I also know it struck a nerve. You "clapping back" doesn't do anything to improve your dishonesty. Here's what can:
- research the group which predicted negative gdp growth. See what their track record is. If they are reliable, the next thing to do is find out which policies implemented over the last 7 weeks is instrumental in their prediction. Tariffs are the only one which comes to my mind immediately.
- research how many times the NYSE slid 3.5% in one day. Is it a incredibly rare event? Is it something that happens regularly? If regularly, why isn't it broadcast and magnified like it is this time?
- I posted last week (maybe 10 days ago) about my banker's concern about recession based on their loans out. If it happens, is that an economic dynamic which changes abruptly or is it something that creeps along? If it is over a longer span, then DJT isn't responsible if it happens. He will be responsible for his response to it. Just as Biden wasn't responsible for inflation but was responsible for his impotent response to it.

Hope this helps you.

What's ridiculous is that the US had the LOWEST inflation rate in the world, and you're acting like we were in a recession. Whelp, it's coming now. Congratulations!

inflation had been kept artificially low for more than a decade by the time Covid hit.

the really low Fed interest rates that multiple presidents, including Trump, never adjusted came back to bite us in the butt. our inflation should have been higher than it was. but central planning shafted our future to avoid smaller growth at the time.

Right....so if it was artificially low, why **** a brick if it goes "up". You probably should stop parroting stuff you listen to on podcast. They know less than you. So the recession and stock market crash is good too. The tariffs are good too right? It's amazing that all these experts on podcast and YouTube. Who knew...

Keep holding out hope. When it hits, it will hit like a ton of bricks. Aren't you the same person that said the Civil War wasn't fought over slavery?

where did I offer an opinion on it being good or bad? just saying this isn't just a Trump problem.

what determines good or bad will be what comes out of it. I don't trust anyone on any side of the aisle to get us through the mess that is coming any better than the other. the Dem solution is always to keep spending, oddly the Republican, and Trump, solution is also to always keep spending. and here we are. those chickens have come home to roost.

recessions/depressions/corrections all of it is part of a healthy market. its needed to keep inflation in check. you can't have constant max growth, there always has to be a return to "normal". the longer that normal is postponed the worst the recession is going to be.

I don't think so. I might have shared that because I think it was one of a few issues which brought about the war.

I'm a bit lost, what am supposed to be holding out hope for? Good GDP or growth? DJT to have a successful presidency? The stock market to rebound?

I am neither hopeful nor fearful about any of those things. In fact, I generally don't put much stock in the predictions of boom or bust. I have an approach to life where I try to be prepared (if possible), and don't worry over what I can't control.

It’s best to take information from looney leftists on an internet message board.

You didnt strike a nerve, you're projecting. If you can't admit that Covid hit in 2020, and caused supply chain issues, prices to rise inflation to rise. We can't have an honest conversation, because you're in a different reality. Let's start there.
As far as researching fluctuations in the market, the market fluctuates, but there are different markers. EVERY marker is pointing towards recession with increase prices AND inflation. Once prices go up, they don't come down. You can write paragraph and bullet point after bullet point. Facts don't care about your "feelings".

I believe it was an intern from the NTSB that “mistakenly” confirmed the fake names in the report, or something along those lines, and got canned after the anchors read it on the news cast. I got a feeling it wasn’t necessarily a mistake, but an expert troll job.

So they're doing a thing. The GAO announced that they're going to sell most of the government buildings. You couple that with rescinding the BOI law, guess who will buy those buildings. Guess who will charge the governemnt insane amounts of money. It is all a money grab, while the seals clap. 🤷🏾‍♂️ carry on....

This happens every day in the private world. Just SOP. I mean what do people think is happening when it's flashed across the screen that company XYZ is laying off 10% of it's work force. Government has never been streamlined. I bet they could cut 30 to 40% and it would have no affect on anything. It's bloated beyond imagination. It sucks for the workers, but periodic reevaluation of work processes and manning levels is fundamental to maintaining an efficient work place.

I’m sure there is massive waste throughout many parts of our government, but I’ve been waiting 1 1/2 hours so far to get my drivers license updated for Real ID. If the government is going to mandate me to obtain and pay for documents, then they should be required to do so in a timely fashion. How can anyone think it’s ok to wait that long for something they are required to obtain?

I was told by the DMV yesterday that the Real ID is not required unless you plan on flying. Idk
