    We are back to ALL TIME HIGHS for the S&P 500. The wealth effect will provide further legs to the consumer spending growth story.

    Still waiting on that "Huge self-inflicted recession" that was predicted by the liberals. There has been no recession -- quite the opposite. We've experienced a growth story... and the benefits of the tariffs haven't even kicked in yet. Interest rates are on the decline, gas prices are low, and housing costs are declining. Invest in America.


    GOOD DAY

    you can't possibly be this willfully ignorant !

    November private payrolls unexpectedly fell by 32,000, led by steep small business job cuts


    The biggest loss came in professional and business services, which saw a decline of 26K. Others shedding jobs included
    information services (-20K), manufacturing (-18K), and financial activities and construction, both of which saw losses of 9K
    .

    “Hiring has been choppy of late as employers weather cautious consumers and an uncertain macroeconomic environment,”
    said ADP’s chief economist, Nela Richardson. “And while November’s slowdown was broad-based, it was led by a pullback
    among small businesses.”

    You respond to a point about economic growth by speaking to a partial slice of the labor market in a given month? LOL, you truly do not understand the economy, amigo!

    Liberals predicted a recession (two straight quarters of negative GDP growth). We've had nothing close to that. Only growth -- sorry haters!


    GOOD DAY

    ok genius, so why aren't people spending more hmm? Why is Trump about to go on a nationwide tour in order to lie to people and convince them that the economy is actually good (much like the lies you are spewing now)

    At what point do you feel sorry for MAGA? Your politicians are making fun of you.

    The Federal government will not release the October inflation report. Presumably, this is because the government shutdown prevented them from acquiring the needed information. Sure.

    One thing we know about the report that will not be released: if it showed inflation lessening, it would not only be released but trumpeted far and wide.

    Yup.

    They looked at the report. Said oh ****. Cancel it.
    They are probably still gonna use that data internally.

    If it was even remotely good, they would have emailed it personally to ELCONTQISTADORK so he can shout it from the bbs rooftop.

    Dang, say what we will, but he was at least more coherent five years ago -- a lot more coherent.
