Free speech is fine as long as you dont talk about Jesus, Mohammed, Epstein, Russia, or tarriffs.Remember for a couple minutes conservatives were the free speech champions of America?
We want free speech on college campuses (except for student protesters) and social media platforms, but everything else is fair game!

For simplicity's sake I'm saying that we balance our books by:
1) Increasing revenue
2) Lowering spending
Politically the Dems don't want to do #2 (and Republicans aren't too good at that either) and Republicans don't like to do #1...so here we are. Trump is doing some #1 with tariffs and that is beneficial to our books. It's why we were in the black last month for the first time in 9 yrs
Yeah, those three items have a complementary relationship.2 of the biggest contributors to increased prices are an increased money supply and velocity. Prices (outside of commodities) rarely decrease.
I am only going by the article YOU posted indicating stocks were impacted by first term tariffs.You evidently think that everything is instantaneous .... and there is zero lag time between an announcement of the imposition of tariffs and when they will have an impact on the price of that particular material/good. That is ridiculously simplistic.
Yea, declining economic activity isn’t the only reason to reduce rates. Low rates yielding increased economic growth is an actual thing.The Fed wasn't cutting rates regardless of the inflation number. The are not accountable to anyone except their masters and would find another excuse no matter what inflation number was released.
They have to be 21 to work on a matijuana farm.Actually, the UFW talked about the child labor in my screenshot but stated farm labor is exempt from a lot of child labor laws. Were they actually being broken? Or are you just trying to deflect from outright authoritarianism with whatever distraction is convenient?
Why did guy try to attach it last minute to that HR? Did he think it would go through or was he just looking to make them look bad? That is what I want to know.
If you understood the basics of economics as you claim, then you would know that tariffs are inflationary. I don't think you understand $hit.I am only going by the article YOU posted indicating stocks were impacted by first term tariffs.
I understand the basics of economics and have questions. I appreciate those people who back up what they post With details.
I’ll quit questioning you have a difficult time with the facts.

Electronics is the sector where price decreases over time are the norm. Effective price decreases (cost versus purchasing power) is something we experience but do not think much of.
I’ve heard you say some of this before. What’s your argument for why interest rates should be lower?

Did Trump use tariffs in the first term? Yes.If you understood the basics of economics as you claim, then you would know that tariffs are inflationary. I don't think you understand $hit.
