re: All signs pointing to a deep and severe recession induced by fiscal and monetary policies

sure buddy, i believe you.

and i would totally believe you if you didn’t care soo much about responding.

The “soft landing” was always as much of a hope and prayer as “transitory inflation”. People like Powell and Yellen say these marketing slogans full well knowing they are not true.

Monetary and fiscal policy in this nation is handled with such baffling levels of irresponsibility, it’s actually pretty depressing.

Honest question: What would the other guy have done differently?

Courtesy of the other poster… all things Trump was doing and/or advocating:

To fix this

1. Increase supply of cheap energy I.e natural gas, coal and nuclear power.

2. Drill more oil, bring refineries online to lower gas prices

3. Cut welfare so more people go to work fixing the production issues at manufacturing plants due to labor shortages.

4. Deregulate industries to reduce unnecessary red tape

5. Address the supply chain issues with shipping, trucking, and ports.

All of this is necessary for the "Great Reset."

It’s hilarious people, even recently, thought this was a “conspiracy theory” when the WEF was making FREAKING commercials and writing books about it

Out in the FREAKING OPEN

but yet the tards seal clapped on to “MUH conspiracy theory!”

Not anymore I guess

One big problem according to Edsel Charles is that there is a housing shortage. Interest rate hikes effects the housing market the most. With the need for housing at all time highs, interest rate hikes will have to be more severe to slow down housing construction. (Housing is the largest production type industry in the nation.)

Ukraine funding and weaponry is a loan. The theoretical interest generated by the loan will show net gains on the books somewhere.

Granted, it’ll never be repaid.

Just imagine, if they hadn't cheated, if they'd just get his second term over with, they could've nailed Trump with this crisis.

Buyer's remorse for the Democrats settling in more and more as time moves on.

I see the opposite

Their actions prove they don’t have to worry about elections anymore

I wonder why

No one likes to talk about Trump and QE for some reason. Not sure why exactly.

This post is not an endorsement of Biden in any way shape or form, he's a moronic lifelong whore. The same people that don't want to discuss Trump handing out cash left and right will not see it that way though.

The INSANE overreaction to the "pandemic", not just in the US, but worldwide, would have inevitably caused some degree of recession...even if Trump were still the POTUS. But it is also reasonable to think the effects would have been far less than what we are seeing now. For one, I don't think Trump would have continued doubling-tripling down on more money "prop up the country" and keep the pandemic going. "Build Back Better" would not have been passed, and I'm very confident the US would not be sending billions, upon billions, to fund whatever BS is going on in Ukraine. In fact, I'm confident in saying there would not have even been a "war". There would have been a greater urgency to get the US economy moving again rather than a lot of Democrats wanting to perpetually cower in fear. There would not have been an immediate backlash against domestic "fossil fuels", and there would have been much more push to keep foreign countries, particularly China, from completely disrupting the supply chain.

So while I agree that Trump was no "fiscal conservative"...an already unnecessarily bad situation was made a hell of a lot worse by the current administration in charge
