Much of what people think of as “inflation” is corporate price gouging, which the Democrats tried to address years ago - and the GOP batted down the same as they did with the immigration bill. If things get addressed, they can’t run on the CrIsIs. All I’m seeing here is that we need some serious guardrails on how capitalism is practiced. Millions are getting run over and it’s for corporate benefit. |
You people and your Kellyanne Conway lies. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/does-walmart-political-donations-155416979.html |

The path towards a soft landing continues.
Thanks Joe! |
And the GOP cuts funding to drug treatment centers and law enforcement on the front lines, so...what is your solution? |
Cuts funding? You think you can buy your way out of every problem. The solution is to kill those running the cartels and tell Mexico and China in no uncertain terms that this will no longer be tolerated. That requires you to man-up and take action. That doesn't mean you keep trying to buy countries and people off based on your latent guilt of "colonialism". Toughen up and stop nursing problems along. Got it? |
Yes. Administered by the federal bureaucracy. We will have Soviet era shortages in no time. |

Now is the time when naysayers should recant their past criticisms and give the Fed some credit for their masterful handling of this soft landing. It’s textbook material.
But of course they won’t bc all they wanna do is complain. |
Fentanyl overdoses began spiking on Trump's watch and increased dramatically every year after. For what reason should we believe he's going to do anything about it? |
Blind faith in the MAGA god |

BREAKING: BOTH May and April jobs report numbers were just revised lower by a combined 111,000 jobs.
The May jobs report was revised from 272,000 to 218,000 while the April jobs report was revised from 165,000 to 108,000. This means that 10 out of the last 15 monthly jobs reports have been revised lower. On a net basis, the US economy really only added 95,000 jobs this month. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate is now at 4.1% since December 2021. The labor market is slowing down rapidly. |
