[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, 2025 is only two weeks old, so I can’t say anything particularly terrible has happened in that time.

However, I’m a small business owner, and I do believe the economy is a lot worse than is generally reported.  I don’t doubt the reports from people here who recently doubled their income and now have a $600K HHI, but I suspect that type of success is limited to a small number of jobs in a small number of industries in the big cities.

I think everyone else is finding things getting harder.[/quote]

[b]I think this is off by a lot.  The economy is way stronger than we think[/b] -- Trump will take credit for what I think will be a 2-3 year very strong economy.  PP is not wrong on prices but wages have increased by a lot over the last couple of years.[/quote]

Well, the interesting thing about the current moment is that over 150 million people just got the chance to voice their opinion on the matter, so we actually know how the economy is treating them.  And they did not say that the economy is "way stronger" than anything.  Even Democrat strategist James Carville recently said he was wrong about the election because he neglected his famous mantra: "It's the economy, stupid."

As I said, I'm sure in your bubble (and other bubbles) things are going well—maybe better than ever—but that's not the case for large parts of the country, perhaps even the majority of the country.  I am always amazed at the blind spot that your ilk possesses.  It's likely why you were so blindsided and distraught on election night.[/quote]

Not in a bubble.  The economy was not the key thing in this election.  It was the fact that Harris was not a serious person or candidate.  And the people never know the economy until time has passed.  Economy was quite strong under GHWB but Clinton potrayed it as weak and people believed.  Clinton's great economy was GHWB's.  Same at the end of Clinton, the bad economy was his not W's.  This time the great economy will look like it is Trump's but it was Biden's.[/quote]

You must live in Opposite-ville.  Every sentence in your post is a** backwards.[/quote]
