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

misleading title---force-fitting Obama's approach as the same as Trump 2,0---
as contradicted by the content of the article

Live look in at SamFisher's economic doom and gloom prediction.... OOPS -- Sam is hilariously wrong yet again! (also, the stock market continues to soar). Here is to those patriots among us rooting for a strong economy to lift all boats! Not the naysayers wishing for an economic collapse because their candidate lost in November...

CEO confidence hits 3-year high amid optimism on labor market, economy

Chief executives haven't been this confident in their business outlook in three years.

Data released Thursday showed the Conference Board's measure of CEO confidence increased by nine points in the first quarter of 2025 to a reading of 60, its highest level in three years. The Conference Board added that the move above 50 indicates a shift from "cautious optimism" to "confident optimism" among business leaders.


The survey included responses from 134 US CEOs and was conducted between Jan. 27 and Feb. 10.

“The improvement in CEO Confidence in the first quarter of 2025 was significant and broad-based,” Stephanie Guichard, senior economist of global indicators at the Conference Board said in the release. “All components of the Measure improved, as CEOs were substantially more optimistic about current economic conditions as well as about future economic conditions — both overall and in their own industries."

 

DC has a lot of rich people.

Few of them work with the government.

Very few of them work for the government.

Asinine take.

latest eg of Trader George's intellectuual dishonesty


as per the link provide by Traitor George, Data released Thursday, the highest confidence level was 3 years ago at above 80%,
when Biden was president, right after he had signed into law

• the CHIP act and
• the Infrstructure act

after 3 weeks of Trump 2,0, the CEOs' confidence level is at ~ 60%

 

Lawyers abound.

 

LOL, we are 2% off all time highs for the stock market and SamFisher thinks the economy is going belly up. Let me give everyone here a valuable tip: Never invest in the market when you are emotional. Bonus tip: Never invest in the market because you hope it goes down in order to score political points. Both are very bad reasons to make investments or predictions.

Liberals are still trying to cope with their devastating loss and policy rejection from November's elections. Hoping for a stock market decline or a recession are things that soothe them... which is a shame, because it will reduce quality of life for millions of Americans. Unfortunately for the selfish hyper-partisans, that is of no interest.

Trump's policies of abundant energy production, lower taxes, deregulation, and cutting of waste/fraud/abuse will lead to significant economic and financial gains. Invest accordingly.

GOOD DAY

 

Austerity for thee, fire sale prices for me.

 

Unions are being busted
Oversite is being destroyed
DeRegulation is being implemented
I'm quite sure the CEOs are MAJORLY Confident

Rocket River

 

Right.

Very highly trained ones at that.

The people who work for the government don't make good money. Adequate for this area, but not good compared to their private counterparts.

The idea that everybody here is living high on the hog doing nothing is very, very wrong. Especially when it comes to civil servants.

You can make good money working with the government, contracts and such, but it's not a given (highly dependent on what you're doing and who you're doing it for, ex. my friend who worked with USAID made beans compared to my friends involved with the DOD, DOJ, SEC, FBI, etc.) and quite honestly the government is the biggest PITA customer you can imagine.

 

Well obviously you have to fire those a**holes

 

So you're telling me Starvin The BEAST won't get rid of the parasites wrapped around it like a weighted blanket?

 

The vilifying of the federal worker is so unnecessary and such an outright evil thing to do.

Say what you want about whether or not the federal government should be doing X or Y, but the people who are doing the work are just like everybody else and do not deserve such scorn and mistreatment.

If your entire argument revolves around the welfare queen ethos instead of putting forward a vision for how government ought to function, you've lost the plot.

 

Traitor George,

on the heels of a lukewarm PPI and a hot CPI, in the 3rd week of Trump 2.0,

Dow tumbles more than 700 points as inflation and tariff fears mount​

The University of Michigan’s latest survey, released Friday, showed that US consumer sentiment declined in February for the second consecutive month, according to a final reading,
down by a steep 10% from January. That was double the decline initially reported earlier this month.

 

Go away you weirdo

 

Well, if Bumblin Joe Biden delivered 25% on the SP500, Donald will be an utter failure if we don’t see at least 35% this year, right?
