Covid began in 2020. Trump bungled it into a deep recession. Biden had the economy humming again on January 19, 2025. Trump Crash 2.0 might be two Covids deep. The sooner he is defeated, the better for everybody.

It is never mentioned that Martin negotiated the "Treasury Accord", not even the Treasury Secretary, and suddenly he is the New Fed Chairman. Fed history calls it "Independence." It may be independent of the President and Congress, but it's not independent of the banks. Ya gotta admit it.

If you have to wait for the data, you don't know what's going on. Both Wall Street and the Fed have been remarkably clueless on Trump's chaos, corruption and incompetence.

Is it loneliness or loneliness driven by shame?

Someday somebody will have to explain to me why the Fed raising interest rates to dampen inflation from tariffs is not redundant to the effect of prices themselves. You could almost make matters worse that way.

I dunno. He does have that mini pope-mobile he rides around in. Not sure killing tens of thousands by shutting down aid in Africa is going to look good on the resume, though.

It's 24/7/365 maliscious nonsense. It needs 24/7/365 360-degree opposition. Shut down the Senate, please.

Of course those with inventory are going to hold onto it for a month then raise the price for a neat windfall profit. It's a tradition.

The guy who wants to invade Canada thinks he's pope material. So ludicrous. So clueless. So untethered. Uncontrollable masquerading as intentional? It is very weird.

Pretty sure boomers are not arguing with their kids and grandkids like that.

Sure. Nice of you to truncate the previous years. The Buffett Indicator shows exactly why Buffett is out of equities.

The logo is not expressive of the malignant evil Trump embodies. Hope you revise it.

I look forward to your placing a hold on all nominations by this insane, criminal, corrupt, incompetent, Constitution-trashing, fascist President.

I'd buy one.

Tariffs will spike prices. So will deporting productive workers. Does Trump not realize this, or is he still getting direction from Moscow?

A massive failure of leadership to hold after your colleagues and constituents have expressed no confidence. It is arrogant and destructive. My concern is that his real constituents are the Wall Street donors. Other Dem senators are kept in line by Big Money, not what's right.

He had help. Paul Volcker had interest rates at 16% to kill inflation by killing the working class. ... Reagan shifted taxation to the working class by instituting the payroll tax and cutting taxes on the rich and corporations. He was also a bad actor, like Trump.

A good man, but weak on pointing out the super rich as the engine of the diseases that afflict us, including Trump. I prefer Bernie's messaging.
comment in response to
post
Absolutely right. The coming economic slump should expose to many that we cannot afford the super rich. People are getting poorer exactly BECAUSE the rich are getting richer. I do think stocks are way overvalued. A lot of the wealth of the rich is paper. Not that they won't kill you to keep it.

We need better leadership than Chuck Shumer. His latest show of strength was sending a strongly worded letter to Trump.

Here's a speech from Pritzger. He is definitely not failing.

Yes. I noticed. Seem to be legitimate democratic voices. Erdogan has been such a disease on the world, and such a cancer on Turkey. A criminal with more wits than our president. One wonders why God allows them to fester so long.

Because the components have been bad for seven weeks. The tariff and DOGE damage are still to come.
comment in response to
post
Reflect, however, that the business community and Wall Street had no problem with DOGE. The attacks on Social Security and the VA, the pimply programmers getting the confidential data on tens of millions, it was all okay. Only when tariffs started wrecking their balance sheets did they complain.
comment in response to

Yes, tariffs are bad, but the attacks by Musk on basic government operations, the reversal of the Biden economy ('the envy of the world'), the shock to faith in Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, etc., and so on had already guaranteed a slump.

Looks more like desperation. Where is he getting all these investigators and lawyers? Don't they have ketchup to clean up somewhere?
