Scraps Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 3 hours ago, Tommy Callahan said: I don't live in a Bric's nation would be the answer to your last part. Last time that was tried "we came, we saw, Ghaddafi died" And the same exact entities are in power now, that were in power then. Have you seen the momentum behind the ever-increasing debt? Decoupling from being the worlds reserve currency will be very painful for the vast majority, here. How can anyone worried about the momentum behind the ever-increasing debt support Trump, an adjudicated persistent fraudster, after all the debt he created in his 4 years in office? I haven't heard any proposals to cut the debt but certainly heard proposals to increase it even faster. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equity is you sharing your moms house with homeless, no matter if your couch surfing the basement or not. Cause the dems are running on Supply side, not demand side. Huge stimuluses to control and create sectors. picking and choosing. Almost all for the fortune 500 and PACS that get them in power. Demand side is lower taxes and lower regulation. putting the power of the economy in people's hands. you kinda proved my point. What? supply side, economics. demand side economics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 DOG BITES MAN: Yup, the Biden-Harris Administration Cooked the Jobs Books. “Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. economists expect the government’s preliminary benchmark revisions on Wednesday to show payrolls growth in the year through March was at least 600,000 weaker than currently estimated — about 50,000 a month.” https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/08/20/yup-the-biden-harris-administration-cooked-the-jobs-books-n4931821 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our friend has no idea what he's talking about. He spends most of his time criticizing Democrats for using standard the standard Keynesian demand pumps (not that he knows these terms) to drive spending and economic growth, only to pay the price with increased inflation in due course. But he says the Trumpists will focus on the demand side. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's on top of the monthly revision down, a month after they release them. It's like unemployment, the economy and inflation are really as bad as the people (not talking heads and their parrots) say. Remove the cities not reporting gun violence to the FBI and you got another one of their outright manipulating of data for politics. Eff the victims of it. It's about keeping control.

Starr-Bills Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 A Labor Department report showed an estimate for total payroll employment between April 2023 and March 2024 was lowered by 818,000, a 0.5% drop from what was originally reported for the period, as the central bank gears up to start cutting interest rates in September. Sound terrible. 0.5%. Stock market reacts positively, and fed is still planning on cutting rates. Think of all those jobs created if they boarder bill had passed, thousands of boarder agents and the knock on economic effect, good thing it was killed to give the felon a win. sigh.

The Frankish Reich Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 This explains the revisions and why they happen. No conspiracy. No diabolical plot to make things look better or worse. Could this revision be explained in part by recent immigrants employment? I'd have to research that, but given the difference in the two surveys that result in the revisions, I'm guessing the answer is yes. https://www.epi.org/blog/outrageous-attack-bls/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they would. Lower rates would be huge for the fortune 500 Not so much for the people struggling with inflation Like I said before. They talk nice. But they don't give a rats about the victims of the crime or the victims of their horrific policies . How many missing kids from the border. Unemployment data fudged to make Biden look better not reporting criminals to ice making Americans less safe and more victims. Not reporting gun crime to the FBI. Creating more victims.

Lower rates = lower mortgage payments for people buying a house or refinancing. Who would want that? Honestly, you need to read up on some basic economics and take a break from these threads until you're up to speed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Just now, Tommy Callahan said: Perception dictates reality. Your only looking at it from the well off aspect. Fixed, working , middle , poor are struggling with cost. How would that help them Did you read the part about credit card debt? Borrowing costs in general? Because in general, the better off you are, the less debt you have. I'm fortunate. I've worked hard and steadily for a long time. I was able to save money for retirement. I don't have any debt. I am able to invest basically risk-free at about a 5% interest rate now. Rates go down, all of a sudden I'm not doing so well. Interest rate cuts will probably hurt me. But they will probably help a younger version of me, financing a car, upgrading to a better home thanks to a lower interest rate, lowering my monthly payments on the credit card debt I'm trying to get rid of, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Not great news, but jobs still continued to increase and it looked like the S&P priced this revision in. I’d expect rate cuts from the Fed in September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
