    I am curious when everyone thinks the republicans will consider this economy good? As a reminder 8 years ago it happened on the day after the election as you can see by the chart.

    So, is the economy booming now?

    The economy is booming now under Biden. So, of course, Trump will begin taking credit on Day One, when he becomes Dictator. :)

    The voting options are a little off. You seem to be implying that Q1 of 2025 is three months from now, but we are actually in it now. I think you mean Q2 since we are talking about economic matters and the Fiscal Year starts in October, not January.

    Economic stats usually use the calendar system.

    I was using calendar, not fiscal budget of the US. Most economic reporting is calendar quarters.

    Ironically this incoming maga gov will be handed a good economy. Inflation back under control. S&P over last year….

    Every time like clockwork. Republicans inherit a thriving Democrat economy, run it into the ground, Democrats come back in, fix the GOPs mess, then get blamed for the economy being crap again due to bad Republican policies that they came into office with. Over and over and over.

    Real GDP — back to historical
    Unemployment — way down
    Inflation — way down
    Exchange rates — USD is tracking historic
    Deficit — garbage and will get worse forever
    Interest Rates — coming down
    Stock Market — ridiculously up

    Trump has been set up for success. No one will care to look at actual information. The key issue is that the bottom 50% are not sharing is all of these great stats. Until companies pay out their profits to the labor and not inflated share prices, it’s all a bunch of garbage from both parties.

    Won’t be able to since it’s a mess. Watch the next six jobs report show just how fragile it is.

    Unless, does government continue to be the main source of new jobs?

    Can you put a penny in a jar for every “alternative” fact checking you post for the next 4 years? I would love to see how much money you have in the end. :eek:

    The first quarter of 2025 could be the best quarter of the new Trump Administration. While the stock market is soaring the bond market is sending another message and that message is higher inflation. Reiterating what I stated multiple times before, the voters who were responsible for the election of Trump because they were hurt by the inflation of 2022 will start looking at the last two years of the Biden Administration with nostalgia.

    That just edifies the fact that govt job growth is too high. It needs to be about a third of what it is, or less.

    The Federal gov is going to have to hire hundreds of thousands of people for the immigrant round-up crusade. Also, will need people to build the concentration camps.

    Repubs being anti-Big Gov is a joke.

    Wrote it down. Snapshot it. Take note.

    What was the stock market at when Biden came into office, and what was it when he leaves.

    Then, do the same with Trump.
