There may be some short term gains that make it look the economy is OK. Not sure who all will gain from this.

I agree w your top-line conclusion and you laundry list of dumb policy moves.

But how those 4 items are going to affect the economy depends very critically on what happens to the federal budget in response. If all that spending that suddenly isn’t happening and all that fresh tariff revenue is immediately reflected in tax and withholding cuts so the people still with jobs see an immediate take-home pay raise, the effect may be surprisingly mild.

If instead taxes on ordinary schmoes are unchanged and the decreased spending + increased revenue are simply reducing the federal budget deficit this year, or worse yet, are “spent” funding tax cuts only for corporations and oligarchs, then yes, an inflationary recession looms immediately.

Look at it this way. The reason the TrumpMuskegon is lying so much about how much is being “saved” by Elmo’s ransacking the Federal Departments is tied to the Budget Resolution that passed the House last week. They have to inflate the amount saved so they can achieve the tax cuts. That is also the reason for the tariffs. The more the government collects from US companies from the tariffs, the bigger the tax cuts they will pass. Also the reason for the $5M green card, and the sale of Federal Assets (buildings). A short-term income to cover the fact that the ship is sinking.

I think it is obvious that the DOGE savings are imaginary, and the tariffs will be rescinded, so an inflationary recession is coming, no doubt. Elmo just has to keep fowling up SSA, Medicare, and the VA enough to so that nobody can identify that the savings are like the “irregularities” in the voting in Maricopa County, AZ, and other voting districts. There was never any there there, but as long as the CyberNinjas refused to show any proof of their absurd claims, it was difficult to prove.

It’s the same here, but with revenue instead of votes. Honestly, it’s the same scam Trump pulled in NY and was resulted in his felony convictions. Fake it, make it look like there is something (where there isn’t) until you get what you want.

If I’m correct (not a given), perhaps the easiest way to get past this coming recession is to go ahead and give Trump his tax cuts, then start putting the economy back together. Because, if he doesn’t get what he wants, he will just continue to lie, cheat, or worse, to get it. Of course, the same Trump strategy he’s used for half a century.

President Trump to ask King Charles to consider selling Canada to the US

[pErvinalia]

He's an ignoramus.

[Svartalf]

US could never buy Canada even if jug ears could sell, not at the rate DoGE is emptying the coffers

[pErvinalia]

He's going to be busy invading Greenland, Panama and Canada.

Let's check back in a year and see if any of these territories are US owned. I predict not.

[Tyrannical]

Australia would make a lovely Star on our flag. Maybe King Charles could offer a 2 for 1 to Trump

You're not even an American, are you?

I imported my wife from Australia, but she is a naturalized US citizen now.

Pretty much sums up last night. What we are living through is NOT normal. Kudos to Rep. Melanie Stansbury for proclaiming what so many of us are feeling right now.

You're not even an American, are you?

Are you assuming every right wing lunatic on this site is Canadian?

[Svartalf]

Are people assuming all Canadians on these boards are lunatics?

All circles are shapes. Not all shapes are circles.
