    No, it’s you that doesn’t know what it means… the economy was going great until January… what could have possible changed that caused this dramatic reversal? Seriously… answer that.

    Lol... listen man, your Democrat/socialist/communist overlords LOST THE ELECTION, and you're simply verbally flailing about like an infant who's lost his binky. If you keep blubbering, you'll soon run out of tears. But for now... I will be riding the wave of tears you and your leftists are flooding us with. Surfs up... lol.

    Typical dumb shit I expect from you. When you get backed into a corner by facts, instead of making a good case for your opinions, you resort to acting like an "internet tough guy" spouting insults you'd never be brave enough to say to someone's face ... that's how I know I won.

    The best way to help the economy long term is to cut government spending as a percent of national income.

    A $3 ,trillion federal budget with a $400 billion deficit would be better for the economy than a balanced $5 trillion budget.

    Think of it this way. You have a stay at home wife with access to all your money. Let's say you're struggling a bit financially but you have access to $22k in cash

    Scenario #1. Wife drains $20k from your bank accounts and buys a car. Fully paid for.

    Scenario #2. Wife pays $8000 down for a car and owes $3000 more.

    Which would you prefer?

    You're only seeing half of the picture. Your scenarios assume that your income remains the same. The GOP is not only attempting to reduce spending, they are looking to reduce income by more than the amount reduced in spending. They don't care about the national debt

    It wasn't until three weeks ago the Trump had the power to screw up the economy, explode the deficit and increase inflation. It will take another couple of months before his incompetence really becomes apparent and the question isn't if he tanks the economy but how soon it becomes apparent.

    The federal gov't always spends.
    everything it takes in revenue plus whatever else everything it can get away with. Giving the gov',t more and more money doesn't solve the #1 problem which is too much gov't spending, it makes it worse. Elon Musk gets it.

    If we don't get gov't spending and deficits under control then the economy collapses. That:s bad for retail sales.

    Well he's obviously and openly manipulating the stock market daily, with these pronouncements, which I might add are made to swing it, so a few can make some money. Those being the people who are planning these pronouncements.

    Nope. Get the spending to a low enough percent of national income and the other problems will take care of themselves.

    Lol... that was big in President Trump's first term... when the commies tried to hang on POTUS, and make it a crime. :rolleyes:

    Don't you worry about Trump and the stock market, because you Dems have an ace in the hole... Just follow Nancy Pelosi's investment moves, and you'll be a winner too.

    We can't because she doesn't announce them publicly like Trump does.

    It is just different somehow when the 34 time felon President does it in public.

    Maybe if you pin one felony or even 34 on Pelosi we can believe she's in on it.
