I've tried to post something similar here back in Nov 2016, but nobody wants to hear it. Nobody on either side wants to hear that we're in for a very rough ride for a long time. I'm actually interested to see if Trump could cut govt costs enough to enable some degree of real private sector economic growth, just because hope springs eternal. But every scenario I can envision faces big hurdles, like availability/cost of energy, raw materials, lack of trained manpower to jumpstart domestic production, excessive regulation, and of course debt that hangs over us like an anvil.

But in the final analysis, the main problem is the one that got us here to begin with; we're addicted to debt fueled consumption and there's still no acknowledgement of that problem. When we reach the point that there are not enough qualified borrowers at market interest rates, the govt borrows for us and sprays money from every orifice. If our govt was really throwing gold bars off the titanic, that would be a self limiting problem because we'd run out of gold bars and have our depression. But they can borrow and print and spend until a dozen eggs cost a million bucks and the middle class is a distant memory, and most people won't figure out why it even happened. Sometime shortly after that is when we get our dictator.

Really solid post! But I'd argue that the thing that got us here is the transfer or wealth from the global west to the global east. Fifty years ago, a man in America could work a job that an actual retard could do and buy a home and have his wife not work. This is because 50 years ago, most Chinese people literally were living without electricity.

This guy wrote the book on it 20 years ago and it's still considered the gospel by economists...

The shift of wealth from west to east is what people in the west are actually antsy about, but it just takes different forms. In Europe it's the Arabs and the Pakis. In America, Democrats thinks it billionaires and whitey, while Republicans think its Mexicans and whatever other new one Trump comes up with that week.

It's all the same shite, and Democrats and Republicans have way way more in common than they realize.

Absolutely no one on this site believes you.

You’re a loser, we know you don’t care

Unfortunately for Trump, these days the word "economy" is basically code for "inflation and cost of living."

Because this is how most people think about the economy after your people destroyed the unemployment rate statistics

shows up in any thread that is not critical of Trump? Not once has he ever had a comment on policy. Intimate you might not be 100% behind Trump on anything and he swoops in out of nowhere.

This is a straight up lie and I’m glad you just randomly appear to show your low iq. Good on you bending the knee though after the last year to support Trump.

It’s also cute to see team bot team up and have each others backs like you supporting brain cell L1C4 in a thread against Trump. Hmm
