Unconstitutional activities But I don't think the Rs have the guts or love for America anymore. But hey, MAGA, right? |
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Worse on the economy than overall. I swear the one teeny silver lining that might come out of this clusterf*ck is if Americans stop automatically thinking that Republicans are better for the economy, because that hasn’t ever been true in my lifetime.

Trump 2.0 is tanking the U.S. financial market. [/quote] Yes, that was my point. It’s not just Trump, they’re in full control of everything and they’re all tanking the economy. |
Alternatively, tariffs will reduce consumer spending, which will lead to less inflation and cause the Fed to lower interest rates by more basis points than was previously thought, which will cause stocks to rise and housing to become more affordable. I thought what people wanted was jobs to come back home, lower inflation, and affordable housing? |
Dear god, do you believe this? Have you heard of deflation? Stagflation? I bet you also believe in trickle down economics. |
The inflation numbers yesterday were positive. Egg prices are down from $9 a dozen in early March to $6 now. Toll Brothers announced they’re dropping prices for new homes. The government is laying people off and some private companies are following their lead. All of these factors (lower costs, lower housing prices, a looser labor market) are what the Fed wants to see before they lower interest rates. Lower interest rates will make the stock market rise. I’m not revealing secrets here. Jerome Powell has said as much about when the Fed will lower rates and its no secret lower interest rates contributed to the stock market boom post 2009. |
Egg prices are significantly higher now than any time during the Biden Administration. Toll brothers dropping prices because interest rates are high, demand is low and it will impact their earnings, bringing their stock prices down. Deflation is not what we should be aiming for here. |
Deflation will bring housing costs down and trigger the Fed to lower interest rates. This will lead to lower housing prices for average Americans and fuel the stock market with lower capital borrowing costs. This is not rocket science. |
You are forgetting that people are losing jobs, retailes are panicking and the US is going to have to raise rates to induce investment if US Debt. This isn't going to work the way you think it is. And the tariffs will be the death blow of our economy. Name a time that across the board tariffs as Trump is proposing has ever been beneficial. |
When deflation happens (and it’s rare), it is because people stop spending. There is no demand. Ask yourself all the reasons why people might stop spending money and then consider why you alone will be the exception. |
You are so full of pithy quotes. Too bad people couldn't vote for you instead of that idiot Trump |
10% jump in disapproval on the Quinnipiac poll - 43% disapproval the week of Trump's inauguration in Jan, jumped to 53% disapproval this past week.

Friends, here's why a recession is GOOD! PS - I own my house. I'm not all that eager for housing prices to go down. Don't love my retirement account going down, either. Though haha like I'm ever going to get to retire. |
Why only 10% jump?. It's a complete dumpster fire. I'm surprised I can find anyone that approves. |
What? Earnings drive stock price. At least pretend like you know what a rocket and/or science is. |
