we crashed the economy for your own good

Sheehy: "Our economy has been on a sugar high for a long time ... what we're seeing here from this administration and what you're gonna see from this Congress is re-disciplining to ensure that our economy is based on private investment and free-market growth."

Some people will not survive this re-disciplining. Many others will be worse off. That is a price Trusk and the GOP are prepared to pay.

Their previous analysis was that the excellent economic metrics during the Biden admin was due to the economy running on the fumes of the spectacular trump admin years.

The economic beatings will continue until the Dow's morale improves.

Sounds like when right wing economists talk about needing to "discipline" labor. Which means paying more people starvation wages, breaking unions and labor laws, and pushing for more kids go to bed hungry.

It has become necessary to crash the economy in order to save it.

We're just bursting the Biden Bubble.

The whole Kids Who Could Never Pass Econ 101 would be humorous except for the fact my retirement just got half a year lopped off and still counting. Pity there’s no viable opposition party.

China taxes Tesla $320,000,000 per year and we tax them nothing. 91% tax on upper earners like we used to.

have you even said thank you?

Here's the thing - the business community has *always* seen workers as an expense to be reduced. I mean this is a major cause of the 1929 stock market crash - automation and mass layoffs.

They always forget someone has to *buy* their products... and that's mainly workers, which they're laying off.

Ah yes. The stock market - famous for being anti-free market.

I'm not so sure it's better to listen to any elected Republican officials when we have actual economists to inform us.

hivemindx.bsky.social•17 hours ago

During the previous Trump admin I clearly remember him boasting about record highs in the markets which he claimed was all down to his leadership. Is that the sugar high his people are talking about now? Suddenly that was a bad thing? Now that he is tanking the stock market, that's a good thing.
