To be fair, Trump and the Republicans essentially shut down the economy and then started pumping free money into the economy which began this whole mess.

Even though we have a sour economy, the Deep State will never permit a major economic disaster prior to the 2024 election.

I agree. They can count on the Fed to do whatever it takes to prop it all up. And by that I mean all options will be on the table when it comes to defending the entrenched elites.

Moody’s:

“transparent and effective policy”

That is their version of “safe and effective”.

Lol.

No one - not Trump, not the GOPe, not the Democrats - seems to care about deficit spending in the least. If nothing else destroys us, deficit spending will.

The Biden administration rejected the Moody's downgrade, with Treasury officials insisting the U.S. economy is thriving.

Of course the economy is thriving

The more money the government creates the better!

All of that created money goes to Joe’s cronies and what could be better than that??

The debt is disgracefully bad to be sure, but our Unfunded Liabilities are 6 times what the debt is!

I’m not buying squat. Having said that, you are right...travel on truck-infested I-81 is a risky venture...especially with all those new drivers walking over the border.

Why should they? They keep winning elections. Obviously the American people must think it’s fine. Dummies!

We’ll see what the tbill rates are this coming week.
5.4% now - maybe 5.5% or higher?
Mortgage rates will go up as well.

"It’s part of the plan."

Yes. This is very important to understand. The current destruction of the USA is part of a plan. The destruction of the USA is the objective. Understand that, and everything else falls into place. The useful idiots out there who cannot understand this are the most dangerous impediment to those of us who want to foil this evil plan and save America.

Virginia has been talking about widening I-81 for over 20 years now.

In Virginia, though, the politician’s lips move a lot more than dirt does.

"...there is tremendous economic activity represented by all those trucks hauling all that stuff."

Okay.
But let's wait and see what it looks like after the Christmas season in over.

You are correct. Whenever there is a true economic downturn, the trucks almost disappear.

As long as it is Pedo Joe and his Dung Beetle Party doing the spending like a bunch of drunken pirates, I guess it’s okay. This would be the headline on every “newspaper” on the planet if a Republican was president.

Those FBI midnight raiders are very reminiscent of the “good old boys” in their white sheets riding horses and carrying torches.

Fiscal policy that undermines monetary policy is a recipe for collapse.

“Fiscal policy”

“Monetary policy”

That is the academic trick of making it sound so dry and impersonal.

Evil people are clubbing baby seals here!
