    We are in year 10 of Trump being the dominant political figure in this country, and this is the 5th year of him being the president. This is more like ejaculating months after copulating, if this is your desired metaphor.

    Who knew a president could change the direction of the economy for the worse so quickly? You guys gave Biden blame for the inflation that came in the 2ND MONTH of his administration. No one disputes the current financial meltdown is all tied to Trump. You just think we should wait to see if dumb ideas magically turn into good ones. Not my vote.
    Maybe edit this grossness and I will too? Yuck.

    Reagan took the economy into a deep recession in his first term, before ushering in a historic expansion.

    Our economy--blame aside--is a categorically unsustainable debt fueled bubble.

    Either we let the air out ourselves, or ride that trajectory to a catastrophic bursting of the balloon.

    You know damn well it is unsustainable.

    At lease one side of the aisle recognizes this, and is attempting to pursue meaningful change.

    (...and it's not the Chicom Puppet Party side, as the Chicoms are goading us to the explosion, and rooting heartily for it).

    He was stifled and sabotaged through his entire first term--though admittedly, he seemed to be following the same debt fueling strategy as his predecessors, and only tweaking bits here and there.

    He seems to be pursuing a much bolder course of action this go around, with DOGE, the Tariffs, and enticing companies to invest and move their manufacturing stateside.

    Maybe not the magic bullet, I don't know, but it's at least meaningful deviation from the prior, undeniably down-bound trajectory.

    I welcome the substantial change.

    Ridiculous. If you don’t like your house mortgage then move to a cheaper house. You don’t set fire to the neighborhood.

    And we are exploiting China. Not the other way around genius. We benefit from their low wage workers and environmental tolerance for shit. Makes our stuff cheap and we don’t suffer for it.

    Educate yourself!! The proposed budget is greater deficits and greater National debt than Biden.
