Fickle public. You bring down the cost of living a little and you are in good shape.

I have no doubt that the Bessent and Lutnick can focus upon the economy while Rubio focuses upon foreign affairs.


Yes and that is the issue. The neocon policies Rubio has consistently supported not only do nothing to advance a MAGA agenda, they directly undermine it.

To say otherwise is…childish. See how that works?

Pro tip, when you see an insane boom in a specific commodity or industry such as housing late 2020-2023, expect a nasty bust on the back side.


You will get little argument from me on this issue. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve distort the market and lead to a misallocation of capital that necessarily creates boom & bust cycles.

On a related note, the massive increase of the money supply that resulted from the CARES Act led to an artificial influx of dollars into the economy. As more money chases the same amount of goods, prices inevitably go up, eroding purchasing power.

I spent nearly $15.00 on a Chick-fil-A combo just yesterday. I don’t need a poll or the news media to tell me that inflation has stretched our dollars thin.


I just spent $10 on 20 pounds of turkey at Publix.

This is a you problem.

I like how people think the president should only focus on one thing because that's all they can manage.


The rest of the world is irrelevant when it comes to prioritizing Americans.

I am a frugal shopper myself and usually pack my lunch. Yet I was having a lunch meeting with a client.

But my lack of frugality isn’t the point. The point here is that same CFA combo cost half that before the inflation brought on by the CARES-Act.

Thanks. That is such an original response. There is no doubt in my mind a highly creative individual such as yourself is well rewarded for such mind-numbing brilliance!

Helping to facilitate the building of actual restaurants certainly is a construction related industry. Yet I appreciate you playing along at home just the same!

You are “stating observed facts” you say? You certainly have a peculiar way of saying you know nothing whatsoever about my personal financial situation. .
