    You and the other leftists loved posting about the stock market falling in the Spring!

    Where is the same energy for the record highs we’re enjoying?

    This headline almost gets it right but it's a 4-5 pronged approach to destruction

    1 tariffs
    2 labor force decimation
    3 DOGE/war on experts/science/universities health care
    4 targeted attacks on certain sectors like renewables
    5 destruction of institutions/rules like the Fed DOJ etc & the replacement by shakedowns & scams

    These are all designed to absolutely destroy a century ofUS economic prosperity - and they are doing so.

    I repeat, **** anyone who ever voted or posted for this crap

    One month of data (that doesn't match current trends) is what you present in support of your argument? When Biden's four years gave us an undeniable trend of job creation for 5.5 million foreign-born people.... You lose again by using poor logic.

    By the way, Spencer Hakimian (Iranian?) who you quote a few times a day, is a NOBODY in the finance world. He runs a tiny little hedge fund. I guess with Nouriel Roubini getting older, the Democrats (Iranians?) needed a new face of the economic resistance movement. Roubini would get on CNBC multiple times a week to talk down our economy. Made me question his motives... Looks like you found his minor league replacement.


    GOOD DAY

    -native born whites and blacks hit record lows under biden. I sent you the graph from the fed data but you continue to troll
    - Last 3 months have been worst 3 months since the pandemic


    Native born unemployment is at record high since pandemic. Mass deportations arent bringing jobs back regardless of some of you MAGAs say @Corrosion

    1.4 million government jobs added during Biden's tenure... 5.5 million foreign-born jobs created. Combined, that's over half of jobs created during 2021-2025! Foreign born and low productivity government workers! That's what the reckless spending and $2bn/year budget deficits got us? Alongside runaway inflation? Hard pass. Government grew to unprecedented size and inefficiency under Biden. OF COURSE we were going to gain government jobs with that increase in spending, but that's not the jobs that this country needs in order to grow. Trump has quickly gotten trillions in commitments to build manufacturing plants in the USA -- those private sector jobs will create FAR MORE economic growth than government slobs working from home.

    The country VOTED FOR a bloodletting in terms of reducing the size of government. Hopefully we continue to get it. It will right-size the government, prudently steward our tax payer dollars, and help bring down inflation over time.


    GOOD DAY

    this is the 7th month of Trump 2.0, it is the worst month of job creation. after 6 months of performance, it is trending the wrong way


    Hakimian has forgotten more about finance/economics than Traitor George is ever gonna understand

    You think maybe these high interest rates have something to do with that?

    No one is buying houses, cars or anything else either.

    Businesses aren't expanding because it's too damn expensive.


    Want someone to point the finger at - Jerome Powell.

    MAGA is now arguing negative job growth months is no big deal. Unreal everything i think they cant get dumber they show the world they really can.
    Funny how we had higher rates last year than we do now and we created 6x more jobs under Biden. Were now losing double the manufacturing jobs in spite of mass deportations native unemployment is at 4 year high

    Its almost as if your braindead idea of illegal Mexicans are stealing low income jobs completely got exposed as false.

    corrosion, you understand that cutting interest induces more spending towards more inflationary pressure, no?


    no, why are you so afraid of holding the convicted felon responsible.

    so far, the convicted felon has taken this inflationary measures
    • impose tariffs
    • signed into law, more tax loopholes for the uber rich and more spending.
    these inflationary measures taken by dotard has been preventing powell from cutting the interest rate


    in the previous testimony before Congress, Powell has said as much,

    "but for the uncertainty surrounding the tariffs, an additional tax on consumers,
    the Fed would have already cut the discount rate"​

    I did?

    I don’t think I’ve posted much about the stock market, and definitely not as some big narrative on how things are going. That seems to be the job of a few posters on both sides. I don’t complain about their posts either.

    Meanwhile, the JOB market isn’t looking great - and that should concern everyone.

    This thread is hilarious -- talking about a recession (2 quarters in a row of negative GDP growth) when Q2 2025 experienced ROBUST economic growth (link below). Liberals are so angry at Trump that they just lose their ability to think. And job creation is down because we are shipping the illegals out of here and firing the low productivity DC bureaucrats in government. This is all highly supported by America... and well-understood by the financial markets... which is why the stock market is at all time highs. All of this is AHEAD of rate cuts and the work beginning on all of the AMERICAN investment that Trump has negotiated with corporations and foreign countries. This is the Golden Age -- don't miss it because of partisan hatred.

    GOOD DAY



    U.S. economy expanded 3.3% in Q2, with growth even stronger than initially thought

    https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/28/us-economy-grew-3point3percent-in-q2-growth-was-stronger-than-initially-thought.html#:~:text=U.S. economy grew 3.3% in,was stronger than initially thought

    The U.S. economy grew at a pace that was faster than expected in the second quarter as consumers and businesses held up against tariff volatility.

    Gross domestic product rose at a 3.3% annualized pace in the April-through-June period, the Commerce Department reported Thursday in its second estimate for the most encompassing measure of economic activity. The reading was better than an initial 3.0% estimate as well as the 3.1% Dow Jones consensus forecast.


    Consumer spending, which rose by 1.6% compared with an initial 1.4% estimate, helped push the number higher.

    Importantly, a measure called final sales to private domestic purchasers jumped 1.9%, up from the previous figure of 1.2%.

    Two filters:

    1) # of liberals that own guns

    2) # of liberal gunowners that can use guns


    I'm getting 1-2% MAX of the population passes through both filters. Yet DaDa wants a shooting war! LOL You might want to read Sun Tzu(?)

    MAGATs are now claiming that the last 3 months of the worst job growth since the pandemic is no big deal lmao. Who gives a **** about consumer spending when people arent getting jobs



    Whats hilarious is you cultist trying to gas light everyone that record high unemployment for blacks nd latinos is no big deal! Record high unemployment for native Americans no big deal! Instead we should all celebrate that big tech is opening more data centers thus boosting gdp and raising electricity prices !

    Celebrate you peasants!

    Hes having a panic attack in real time. Its hilarious

    Maybe if the economy crashes hard enough, they’ll stop talking about the Epstein files.

    All the "investment" deals are all phony bs announcements that these CEOs know they'll never make but they know the cultists @Corrosion @El_Conquistador will blindly believe them regardless.

    The entire world plays these cultists like a fiddle. Its sad
