that was my first thought
on a positive note
inflation is only hurting people who eat
all others are doing fine
“Recession has struck some of the world’s top economies. Yet, The US keeps defying expectations..”
Biden is working on it.
RE: Biden is working on it.
Biden isn’t even working. He’s just a placeholder who signs and approves anything given to him by WHOEVER IS REALLY IN CHARGE.
If Trump’s not elected Biden’s chickens will come home to roost and our economy will fail.
Maybe so. Big I do remember a lot of scare tactics about the debt for decades. I know that some countries may eventually change currency, but currently there is no alternative.
And those mentally disturbed generations who hate their parents are fully as to blame, as they expect everything to come to them as well.
It is hard to find anything to disagree with greatly on this thread. Especially with the Freeper who stated: “Capitalism didn’t fail; it was murdered.”
Murdered by Government and Cronies.
Ya ... don't get me wrong , I'm not celebrating the artificial “prosperity” bought with or childrens sweat...
but more commenting on the times we live in ...
not every one gets to live during the destruction of civilization.
good times ....
Nations have always ascended to the top as a result of being victors of war, and our leaders have been fomenting friction around the globe to enrich themselves off of the military-industrial complex.
Perhaps you took them as scare tactics, but those were the honest politicians warning the people that we cannot continue to deficit spend into wealth. Even nations must live within their means.
But gimmicks were employed which for a while gave the impression of wealth, but it was a structure built upon a house of cards that was doomed to collapse at some point in time. It would have happened a lot sooner had we not had our dollar as the world's reserve currency. That luxury afforded & enabled them just just keep kicking the can down the road. Well, they are running out of road & gimmicks as well.
Putin was correct when he said that it's the US dollar that provides the US with its power. As that continues to decline, do you not think someone will challenge the US militarily? It's not like we have had a real stellar success story. We now have a leader that is not only corrupt, but is also extremely weak. No wonder Putin prefers Biden over Trump.
Batten down the hatches, t's only going to get much worse if we fail to get Trump back into office. Who will follow then becomes the next concern. I think our days are numbered, unless we can also bring back the Lord as well, & reverse the terrible decisions that have been made over the last 80 years since our victory in WWII.
Every American should stand proud and sing it loudly and with joy:
We have the best liars in the world!
China will follow Sun Tzu tactics—patiently bide their time.
There is no rush for them—years, decades, even a century—but they will strike.
The U.S. economy is being artifcially boosted by money the country does not have, money the country is printing with Biden’s many trillions in new Federal borrowing. It is inevitable that any successor to Biden will have to trim that borrowing and will become someone many folks will blame when/if GDP growth slows as that massive spending and borrowing is trimmed.
They really don’t need to invade, but they will infiltrate and slowly take this nation over. In fact, they are well along that route now. They are actually invading this nation as we speak.
They are saving the recession-Depression for Trump so his VP will not be able to run. They hope to make Trump into Herbert Hoover for a twelve year Democrat-Progressive—neo-communist one party rule like they had with FDR/Truman. Not to be.
