[Pain] HUGE, self-inflicted Recession incoming due to Trump/Musk

Short term pain for long term gain. It's what is being implemented by the Administration and DOGE to literally save the country from financial ruin down the road. We can't keep spending on this trajectory without torching our currency and building up a debt so high that our creditors will own us. It's a financial issue, and economic issue, and a national security issue. Shocking that this even needs to be explained. You have to really look yourself in the mirror and ask why you would oppose efforts to cut government waste.

Short term pain for long term gain -- a concept that befuddles the American liberal. They overeat, they get pregnant when they can't support babies, they drop out of school, they commit crimes... They are emotional people that lack the discipline and patience to achieve long term goals. They divorce at high rates and many never marry the mother of their children - and often leave them as single mothers which completely wrecks communities. Most hard core weight lifters are conservatives -- stands to reason. Short term pain for long term gain.

Oh, BUY STOCKS.

GOOD DAY

 

Jim Cramer, former hedge fund manager, Goes Nuclear on Trump Over Stock Market —
Hits Him With Worst Trump Insult Possible

His blunt assessment of Trump as the “one man standing in the way of a great economy” captures the essence of the cluelesness that is Trump 2.0.
But the bigger insult was comparing him to the late President Jimmy Carter, insofar as stagflation.

We have declining inflation, except the president’s putting on inflationary tariffs.

We have incredibly low unemployment, except where it’s caused by the Trump administration.

We have a market that was doing extremely well last year, until the Trump Administration sowed the level of uncertainty that I can’t recall any time
since the days of stagflation under Jimmy Carter.

Which is the last time people were really worried about inflation, about stagflation, okay? Back then, stagflation was real.

Now, Jimmy Carter, curious benchmark, break out the cardigan sweater. I know it’s a brutal comparison. You think I did it idly?

I cannot think of another president in my lifetime who could knock down the stock market simply by opening his mouth than Jimmy Carter. Eureka! I have found him!

So let’s look at it this way: Everything about this economy is good. Everything, everything, except one thing. We have a president who’s very angry at everyone,
except Vladimir Putin. Oh, no, maybe even Vladimir Putin.

And his wrath has made investors so downcast and so negative that people have just given up. They want nothing to do with stocks, nothing to with this world, because they’re sure
the White House will keep laying on the tariffs that seem to be wiping out your wealth and my wealth.

In this environment, it’s a wonder anyone’s buying anything, unless they think that the one person who’s standing in the way of a great economy. One that could have
incredible growth with lowered inflation, lower oil prices, less regulation, more confidence, will finally change the stripes.

If Trump can lose the anger, drop the scowl, stop diminishing our friends and rivals while making common cause with our enemies, and generally start acting like
he did in his first term, well, that would be huge for the stock market!

As far as the stock markets are concerned, though, we need less Jimmy Carter, more Ronald Reagan. Bottom line, maybe Wednesday isn’t de-liberation day.

It’s just the day when American investors may be finally liberated from the president’s not-so-pro-business attitude, once he gets the tariffs out of the way.

Most hardcore weight lifters are dumb as fk ... Just like conservatives

 

Dumbocrats are by far the worst. You leftists are terrible

 

Do you support universal healthcare?

 

If that did not exist in 1776, I suspect not. Any changes since 1776 can be laid at the feet of the "leftists".

 

Respectfully, that probably applies to some of our more erudite righties around here, but I'm not sure the poster you are responding to could spell 1776, much less view it contextually in history.

 

I am not sure i could spell 1776 either

 

Egg prices came down? I just checked and they are the same for me.

 

I’ve never seen anyone ramble like this guy does. What an embarrassment.

 

That's why I never watch him live rather just read about it later. We're all gonna get screwed regardless...

 

I love it

 

So high universal tariffs across the board and get rid of income tax? That’s the ultimate goal?

 

Right out of the Project 2025 handbook: Replace all individual and corporate income taxes with a consumption tax in the long term. This could take the form of a value-added tax well above 45 percent, which would produce an enormous one-time burst of inflation and raise prices.

 

He said they came down 50%…an obvious lie for anyone who grocery shops.
