Trumpflation, followed by Trumpcession. It's coming...

The recession has been here - just ignored by the media or redefined by Biden.  
 

Government spending has got to be reigned in.  Why this is disputed is absolutely mind boggling.  
 

We can argue the effectiveness of the tariffs.  
 

If we are using them to get foreign countries to the negotiating table that’s fine by me.  Specifically Mexico and the cartels.   

 

If Trump was so concerned about debt, he wouldn't be pushing a plan that RAISES the deficit. But I'm sure you knew that.

Making farmers sell at a higher price to a smaller market will certainly go over well

When you mess with a group of idiots like farmers, then you're going to find out really quick. 

 

 

"…Let the farmer, so far as I am concerned, be damned forevermore.  To Hell with him, and bad luck to him.  He is a tedious fraud and ignoramus, a cheap rogue and hypocrite, the eternal Jack of the human pack.  He deserves all that he ever suffers under our economic system, and more.  Any city man, not insane, who sheds tears for him is shedding tears of the crocodile.

 

Yet we are asked to venerate this prehensile moron as the Ur-burgher, the citizen par excellence, the foundation-stone of the state! And why? Because he produces something that all of us must have — that we must get somehow on penalty of death.  And how do we get it from him? By submitting helplessly to his unconscionable blackmailing by paying him, not under any rule of reason, but in proportion to his roguery and incompetence, and hence to the direness of our need. ..." - HL Mencken

The world needs fewer farmers and more urban planners that spend their work day playing on the internet. Something we can all agree on.

The previously secret diary of writer and social critic H. L. Mencken discloses virulent anti-Semitism, racism and pro-Nazi leanings, shocking even the sympathetic Mencken scholar who edited it.

 

Adoringly quoting a Jew-hating, racist, Nazi. Nobody saw that coming. 
 

Also, when he was on he was on.

He was your average run-of-the-mill Nietzsche reader, though modern scholars pin his beliefs more on being an elitist. Black scholars of the 1920s liked him!

“This last sentence pinpoints one reason for Mencken’s popularity among the black intellectuals of the 1920s. He seemed to know what they knew, that beneath the smug surface of American life was a core of rottenness. Like the child in the famous fairy tale, Mencken saw Uncle Sam without any clothes on, and he did not hesitate to laugh. His satire of southern culture (at a time when the South still reveled in its romantic myths), his identification with the literature of realism and rebellion — these facets of Mencken’s public and literary personality had a specific influence on the black intellectuals, but what they liked about Mencken generally was his personal courage.”

 

“Several times Mr. Mencken has written on the race question, and although he has no special interest in the *****’s rights and wrongs, he always writes on the *****’s side, because he sees that on that side lies the truth.”

You seem like you are intent on justifying your adoration for a racist, Jew hating Nazi. It’s not necessary. Just tell us when it’s OK to quote a Nazi and when it’s not.

I like farmers and farming. I spent four years of my youth in a very small farming community in the middle of nowhere. I know the effort involved. I would never look down my nose at them as you, Frankish, and the racist Jew hating Nazi Mencken are apt to do. It’s gross.

If no one else has noticed if there is a recession in our future it has been coming . Just like prior to 2008 housing prices and much more went through the roof and kept climbing because of basic greed which the so called experts said was due to demand for housing in South Florida .

 

I watched housing go from a 3/2 1300 Sq ft. from the say normal $100K to just before the market went hay wire the same house go to $800K and people were ignorantly paying it . The same has been happening her win Nashville and it cannot continue because people can't afford it & the market will correct itself .

 

Since covid and the "Supply Chain" shortages lumber has increased X3, and because the companies producing it are greedy you won't see it come back to the prices before it went up, the same has happened to the housing market here a 1800 Sq ft house has went from $180K to $650K because of lumber and then the greedy ass realtors basically auctioning houses to the highest bidder and the price won't come down until the market resets it self .

 

Then you add the bird flu killing off the chickens along with the prior POTUS adding to the inflation of grocery prices with all of his brilliant policies and those prices have basically stayed higher and now is being blamed on the new POTUS who is trying to fix those problems but it won't happen until the market resets .

 

I just like I watched prices climb before 2008 have been again watching prices go nuts and it's coming and I don't believe it can be avoided because I feel it's just a natural progression the market will adjust itself because these kind of prices cannot stay the same everything has continued to go up and the economy can't sustain where it has went . 

 

So be prepared once again because IMHO history will repeat it self and there will be those going OMG look what the Orange man has done to us but it started 5 plus years ago .

Which was on orange man time.  It has been brewing for awhile, no doubt.  But orange man promised prosperity and huge paychecks and lower taxes and a smoking stock market.  So he owns it.  And his tariff idiocy certainly isn’t helping anything.  So maybe he should get off the golf course and get back to work.
