The strong jobs report is a double-edged sword: the economy is far from slipping into recession, but the strength makes the idea of interest rate cuts more and more a distant prospect. Right now you can earn over 5% in treasury money markets. 30-year fixed mortgages are stuck around 7.5%, which in my market is choking house sales.

Nearly all the jobs added since Biteme squatted in the WH are illegal aliens.

It’s even less likely to be correct. None, let me repeat that, none of the jobs reports have been correct on their initial release. Every one has been revised downward. In addition, they omit pertinent information such as the jobs created were low-level parttime jobs, as well as, omitting that fulltime jobs have been lost.

Doubtful the Fed can cut rates even once, and certainly not 3 times more this year.

“Good luck” on getting the central bankers to cut interest rates this year.

If they do, it won’t be very much.

Sorry, I don’t care what the numbers say, economy is still looking like crap from where I am sitting. See absolutely no indication of anything going right.

Mao's China celebrated a glorious period of agricultural bounty and economic success as the people's revolution fundamentally changed China.

Unfortunately the state's true policy was to kill as many citizens as they could with starvation and disease. They just wanted to kill the right ones. The doctors, farmers, machinists, engineers, clergy,and such, were killed off, placed in prisons (kept alive to serve only the party leaders), were enemies of the state.
