Half the people in the country were mad at Trump before this. Just more ammo for them to use even if wrong.
This is why Pubs need to pass the tax cuts ASAP. The news is all one-sided towards higher costs at the moment.
Save a penny.... Lose a billion.
Buncha F'ing MAGAts.
Lots of Americans give a flying Fu** about the rapid downfall of America's economy and health. GD MAGAt cult.
A Texas child who was not vaccinated has died of measles, a first for the US in a decade
A child who was not vaccinated has died from measles in West Texas. It's the first death in an outbreak that began late last month and the first from measles in the U.S. since 2015.

We're all getting it up the ass under Trumpster Fire.
That doesn't mean they like Trump & Pubs. Could be they won't like what Trump/Pubs have done & vote for something different again. That's part of why Trump won. If he doesn't lower inflation with his actions, Pubs will pay.

Enjoying this latest market hiccup, are you, Sam?
Well you've changed the subject on me on more than one occasion.
Dumb.
Nobody likes anything if they don't know wtf is being said.
I notice you certainly aren't worried about likes.
Congrats.
It's the result of years of far right stupidity which Trump and RFK are absolutely a part of. So are you.
How your stocks doing??
They should have been presenting a budget for the last 30 years.
A CR is dereliction of duty.
Let's start there.
So the vast majority of tax cuts is just extending the 2016 cuts so that’s not a positive to the economy. The only ones that will help are new tax cuts which will not shrink the deficit. Personally hearing how the R Congress critters are talking, they are way off from agreeing on anything right now in the form of tax cuts and some R’s are floating increases to trim the deficit. So what what happens if they can’t get their shit together and the 2016 tax cuts expire and we go back to 2015 tax rates? Probability of this in my mind is around 25% or so.
Talk about changing subject. The start of this back/forth was the current Congress, no the last 30 years. Done.
False. (Shout out warrior)
There are actually no numerical claims in my post.
Subject change..?
You asked what difference the voting law made.
I answered without numbers.
I don't want illegals voting.
Or dead folks, or non citizens.
I feel that is reasonable.
Not disagreeing. Confirming previous tax reductions is a positive because that creates a degree of future certainty. Just as tariffs create uncertainty. I can't begin to believe Pubs won't at least make current tax rates permanent. It's suicide to do otherwise.
I occasionally do, actually.
Your MAGA obsession is off putting to me though.
It's become a majority of your posts
Then if illegals didn't affect the outcome of the election I was discussing, what was the point of bringing them up? You just went off on a tangent. Done again.
No question he spent too much in his first term. Don't think anyone has ever said otherwise.
"They" think they own this board. It's sickening. Anything else gets in their way.
Well as I stated earlier, IMO yesterday was the most self destructive day in US politics since the Iraq War. I’m not sure we’re not already headed down the suicidal path.
The executive branch has never needed congressional "war" approval for military actions. You think in your absurd whataboutism they are going or ask for congressional approval for a nuclear response? Your TDS never disappoints.

Fact
41% of revenue for the S&P 500 comes from foreign sales of those companies goods and services services. Remember tariffs are not a one way street. Those goods and services are now under threat from retaliation. This will hurt major US exporters in technology, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, software, etc. These are industries with average pay rates above $100k a year. Good to great jobs for Americans. If we are hit on retaliatory tariffs and some of these jobs go away we are literally trading software engineer jobs for jobs making tee shirts, cheap electronics, and toys. These are not good tradeoffs.

The country is being saved from self immolation and your childish leftist instant gratification mentality simply can't conceive that far down the road. But that's okay, that's why Americans put the adults in charge.
This is because the world is going to need a lot less transportation moving forward. Hopefully you don’t know anyone who works for UPs, FedEx, drives a truck, delivers anything. That forecast for oil demand going down also means we will need a lot less people doing all of those jobs as well because there aren’t going to be as much things needing transport.
The stock market is down 4% today. That is because smart money now sees total future earnings of all those companies being 4% less than they thought it would be before the announcement. These are the greatest prognosticators in the world. They literally have trillions of $’s riding on their decisions. I trust their judgment over yours. A 4% reduction in all future earnings for US publically traded companies will impact you and me negatively though. We’re both going to feel the pain no matter who we think caused it.
Case in point ☝️.
But by all means pull all of your investments out of the stock market!
