Time will tell. But I wouldn’t get too cocky. The bond market has been acting skittish. There is a lot more to the economy than the stock market. The bond market is way more important.

Not to mention, it's pretty cocky to assume that a healthy pension and healthcare will be there for life. Things change.

All of the tariff deals are fake.

July 4th was tame this year. All over.

Was it because things are expensive or because people are just not in a celebratory mood?

Prices are definitely up. Canned goods have noticeably gone up in price. Meat is higher this summer.

Items I bought last year are for summer are definitely more expensive this year (exact same bathing suit; purchased 2 more beach chairs, etc).

Back to school shopping will be interesting.

Do you they are going to do an announcement and stock market decline again, followed by revoking tariffs just after insiders buy at lower prices?

Of course. This barely makes the news any more. Everybody knows it’s a lie. Trump has no credibility left, and we all know it.

If you have any real estate you need to sell, do it ASAP

Sure, the job reports was juiced by government, health care, and social services jobs. Just how the GOP likes it I guess.

The economy is doing just fine despite your desperate wishes to the contrary.

The raw data in the BLS report is the opposite of the seasonally adjusted numbers reported.

State and local government education employment declined by 542,000 from May to June but was reported as a 63,000 job gain because the seasonal adjustment expected it to drop by 605,000.

On the other hand, goods producing employment increased slightly in June but was seasonally adjusted as flat because it is expected to rise in June.

Private services employment also increased slightly better in the raw numbers than in the seasonal adjustment because some sectors are expected to boom in June.

You forgot some of the winning:

Our trade deficits have increased.
Our GDP is down.
The dollar has declined 10%.

While you're celebrating the Fourth this weekend, you could do some research on 1928-1929.

And what happened next.

The sky is always falling for Democrats. Chicken Little Syndrome(CLS) is real on DCUM.

Interesting take from a party who are always victims.

Yes, the markets are up because corporate profits are up because the corporations are laying people off and jacking up prices.

That is not a refletion of the broader economy. The dollar is crashing and investment is turning away from the US.
And gas prices are down because demand is down. That is the mark of a slowing economy.

So high gas prices are bad and low gas prices are bad? Got it. You people are laughable.

Yes, low gas prices are an indicator of a slowing economy. Did you just learn that here? Aside, can you point to what policy Trump put in place that would have lowered gas prices?
