The sky is green. <LOTS OF TWATTER LINKS> Weird, the politicians are trying to gaslight us into thinking we're not in a recession right before an election cycle. Who could have predicted that? Let me re-phrase: Anyone who tells you we're not in a recession either: Is lying to you for political reasons. Doesn't understand how any of this works. Is one of those people on either side who simply believes what they're being fed. That said, anyone who is triggered or outraged by this predictable behavior is being disingenuous. Why are you getting your panties in a wad about it? It means nothing. You should be happy at the fact that the financial world is laughing at them for it. Do you think Joe Biden caused the recession? 1

Imagine yourself taking the "other" side of any position. 😂 I rarely take one side. I like to consider both sides of any issue and typically try to come to a compromise. But in a case like this, it's clear-cut that we're in a recession but the Dems don't want to admit it because of the mid-terms.

Still taking HCQ with or without zinc?

OrangeBills Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 11 minutes ago, TSOL said: How come nobody ever talks about Bidens successes? Because this is the Liberal mind-set (they have no idea how an economy works): Biden got up today and rambled off like 4-5 gov't initiatives of borrowing/taxing and then spending money, then declared "that doesn't sound like a Recession to me" These people are so beyond clueless. SURE! Fake a Pandemic, hand over $1 TRILLION to Pfizer/Pharma, then demand back $200B like that's some "policy win" and give that money to Leftist-friendly Green technology future failures (I'm not even negative on Green Technologies, quite the opposite, but they should happen like any other, some subsidies are fine just like the fossil fuel industry because in the end, and as Europe is finding out, Energy is a National Security issue) Throw $100B at the IRS because there are "tax-evaders" out there not "paying their fair share" when literally 60% of Americans don't even PAY income tax?! Idiots. 1
