Gloom, despair, and agony on end......

If it weren’t for bad luck, we’d have no luck at all

[trebb]

Ironic - for the first time in 9 or 10 years, I feel hopeful about the economy.

[BlueStateRightist]

I believe it. Obamacare and other recent socialist regulatory interventions remain a wet blanket on the economy. We are essentially Europe until Trump and the Congress reverse the legislative damage of the past decade.

[rocksblues]

So I guess all those “Help Wanted” signs I see in my area are bogus.

[Jagman]

Well, when you get your news from a blog called “The economic collapse,” you can’t expect it to be good, can you?

[stars & stripes forever]

Blame the obstructionist GOPe legislators for deliberately stalling on major bills.

[teeman8r]

Trump just put Kathy griffin in charge of the family business, she promised to cut the overhead

[PeterPrinciple]

One new survey has found that 39 percent of all millionaires “plan to avoid investing in the coming month”. That is the highest that figure has been since December 2013.

---

A few thoughts.

1)that 39% is prob all the libs? Wonder where the rest are going to invest.

2) but also, many people with cash are sitting on the sidelines. Been burned a lot lately, lots of trust in the system is lost.

Liberals don't remember as far back as yesterday: They let 0bama skate on the economy for 8 years blaming it on Bush.

Here Trump has been in office only a few months and they blame any small dip in the economy on him. Let them prattle on. Just remember to call them on it in a about a year or so when the economy is roaring like the Reagan '80s.

[Sirius Lee]

Hmm....Dow at an all time high, GDP suddenly jumps above 3% for the first time in 8 years, unemployment below 5%, Consumer confidence near its 16 year high....

Well, know the economy is really booming once the mediots start bleating about all the homeless they ignored over the past 8 years, like they did during Reagan's terms.

Oh wait, they already started. This is a clear signal to buy stock and open new businesses because it's Morning in MAGA.

[CincyRichieRich]

So the 158,000 number was given to us yesterday by the same people who gave us 0bama’s unexpected lying low numbers? So now they under report Trump’s? Fire these morons as they are part of deep state.

[PJammers]

My IRA certainly isn’t being affected.

I am heartened by Trump, and there is optimism, but also omens of great caution:

- Even Donald Trump called the Stock Market a great big bubble back in September; he is correct. The Stock Market gains of the last few years have been largely fueled by multiple QE, ZIRP, manipulation, hot air, and guarded by the Plunge Protection Team (PPT)

- The Republicans in Congress are blowing it.....BIG TIME. NeverTrumpers like Ryan and McConnell are sabotaging Trump and his agenda.

- For the economy to really recover, ObamaCare must be killed, and again, the Republicans refuse to do so

- Obama left a mess of debt, corruption, and dependency; and these dangers have not been dealt with, AT ALL

- Derivatives are the WMD of the financial world, and they are a more a danger today than they were last year

- There are over 94,000,000 Americans not in the workforce, and many (if not most) of them are dependent on the producers to fund their lifestyles and survival

- The Deep State and the Globalists are now engaged in an all out War with Trump (they are especially enraged at his pulling out of Paris Climate "deal" that funded other nations to the tune of hundreds of Billions of dollars; don't be surprised if they "pull the plug" on the US economy out of spite and to destroy him

[elpadre]

1st Qtr. economics were driven by Obama policies, not Trump’s.

[TexasGator]

“#4 Financial stocks have lost all of their gains for the year, and some analysts are saying that this is “a terrible sign”.”

Cherry picking. My bank stocks are still in 30% from last September.

[mosesdapoet]

Although I’ve been accused of doing so I very rarely use the sources link. TEC sounds like a globalist white guilt trip media venue. Run by a bunch of Marxist academics who might still be collecting in some form or another from the public trough. The next thing they will be touting is the homeless. What they won’t be spouting off on, is what “sanctuary cities” is costing US.

[be-baw]

Once again, still and forevermore the sky is falling. Good thing I didn’t see this before I sent my check to FR.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Snyder has books to sell and “doom & gloom” sells.
He’s also fancying himself for a Congressional Run - big LOL!

I stopped reading his trash a while back.

[Vinnie]

“This is the worst economy , under Trump, since..since the Revolutionary War.”

In truth the collapse of Obamacare, several bankrupt States ,et al will be hung around Pres. Trump’s neck.
The MSM and dims will see to it.
