Even if there is a big recession, I just can’t see any of the Dems winning. They are just too crazy even for a lot of Dems.
First reply to this phony article:
1. A recession is defined as 2 consecutive quarters with negative growth
We haven’t had 1 yet. Ain’t going to happen this year or next. So there’s that.
Certainly another Obamaish recession would detract from any incumbent’s Vote. But the economy and especially employment have never been this robust. Will there someday be another down cycle? Probably. Especially if a commie Nazi whatever socialist leftie ever gets in again. Meanwhile tho the upturn is only a couple years old and as pdjt loosens the reins that the D’s had imposed — there’s more and more economic growth and new jobs —-
Good thing the Chinese have dropped their tariffs on soybeans and other ag products that they can’t get otherwise.
Bullshit. Everyone I know has more work than they can keep up with, myself included.
Methinks the Fed, ChiComs, Iranians, EU, and Dems met this summer with a game plan to tank the economy in an attempt to defeat Trump.
“Recession” is not just a word with made-up meaning. A recession is two consecutive quarters of NEGATIVE GDP growth. That is not happening and is not going to happen anytime soon.
Kuhn makes capital equipment for the ag industry and after a late planting due to spring rains, farmers aren’t spending capital like they would in a good year. Agriculture always has ups and downs, as he well knows, and other manufacturers are blowing their doors off trying to keep up with demand and finding enough workers.
He’s too close to Madistan, the liberal disease is contagious.
Makes you wonder where they found the money to open a new factory in Germany.
Is it possible they have a lot of sales to China?
They also have some terrible employee reviews on Indeed.
What is “The Discussionist”?
Oh, there will be a recession for sure - if the Democrats win.
I don’t think we will have another recession for 7 more years. The 2008 recession lasted over 8 years, from before the end of Bush’s term til past the end of Obama’s term. There was so much pent-up economic potential that it burst loose almost by itself when the 8 years were over, and the deregulating that has happened since has been medicinal in its effects. There are at least 10 years left, as long as regulation keeps being reduced and immigration is slowed down significantly.
As far as China trade goes, China has been reaming us for 2 decades. American companies would open factories over there, and run two shifts, and after closing time, China would run a third shift making the same products using the same materials in the same factories with nearly identical labor. Where do you think counterfeit products come from?
They also take our technologies, like computer chips and software, and duplicate them for their own use and for selling back to us. They embed their code in our devices for who knows what reason. They make spyware and malware and install it on our computers.
They are also very good at making things that resemble real things, so realistically that they can be temporarily used as substitutes for the real things. Take the lowly Phillips screwdriver: They can make something that looks so much like a real Phillips screwdriver that you don’t even know it isn’t real until after you have used it a couple of times and the end is more like an awl than a screwdriver.
They have been flooding our discount stores and hardware stores with cheap crap and everybody knows it is cheap crap and they even say so, but they want to be able to buy it because it isn’t as expensive as good American craftsmanship.
Who are his customers? Why would the trade war with China affect him or his company at all? I’ll admit I didn’t read the article, because I’m relatively certain he was a Hillary supporter.
GRIPS!!! MENACING!!!
These scaremongers are so juvenile. And so obvious.
Complete and utter BULL$HIT!
If that’s even true, it was expected under the effort to stop the trade imbalance madness and get America back to work. Fight!
The bastards are going to talk us into a recession again.
I bought a new tractor in February. Went up to Indiana to get it. The dealer there had very little stock and was beefing up their shop because farm equipment sales are way down and making do with old equipment will be way up. Not because of trade wars back in February but because they have been planting less corn for fuel. It is a cycle. Eventually you run out of money, need or desire to keep buying new stuff. It looks to me like the market is flooded with late model used tractors from the folks flush with enough cash to trade in before the warranty runs out. I never thought much of warranties anyway. I’d much rather have something that runs and doesn’t need a warranty.
I got another clue for the Kuhn guy. They make good stuff but it isn’t that good. Way over priced.
If you are going to buy expensive equipment build a barn to go with it. Take care of both and they will probably last a long time. I work with a 16 year-old truck, a baler made in 2001, a rake that came over on the Mayflower etc. They are washed, greased and oiled before storage, cleaned again and serviced before the season.
I’m so damn sick and tired of the endless campaign. I’ll be glad when this chapter of the American Experience ends.
Yea things would be so much better with one of those insane kooks running the show..
Can you say ‘Fake News’ Sure, I knew you could.
