Insurance is out of control
Taxes are out of control
Health Care is out of control
Housing is out of control
Those are huge chunks of people’s budgets.
Not to mention companies are slashing jobs left and right. I don’t care what the “jobs report” says because they are always corrected.
It’s trending in the right direction but let’s not say that this economy is good or thriving.
Again for everyone over 40, the economy is the best its ever been.
HOWEVER
For everyone else UNDER 40, you're pretty much cooked. You don't make enough money because White Collar is under AI attack and back filled with cheap H1B labor. Therefore the middle class is shrinking.
Someone linked holiday spending; how much of that is on credit right now?
Majority of this board is over 40 hell maybe even over 50. They don't know what's coming because a majority of them voted to pull up the ladder and keep generating artificial scarcity by all means necessary

That's what I thought. Good job narrative framing and spreading. Keep at it.

Housing and healthcare costs are problems.
Everything else is doing well and/or improved from Biden and Trump has only been in office for 10 months. Biden absolutely pummeled the middle and working classes with inflation.
The bond market is going to have its best year since 2019. The stock market has hit record highs around 50 times since Trump took office and is booming. Wages are up. The overwhelming burden of open borders and constant pour of illegal aliens has been shut off.
Things are doing well. Trump needs to emphasize with the people and sell his record while focusing on the economy. The Congressional Republicans really have squat to show, they’ve done very little.

It’s hilarious because they sit on millions and bitch about not getting their SS check or Medicare even though they’ve stacked the deck against all future generations. It’s like they can’t get enough. It’s all so they can go on their fancy vacations or frick each other in the villages while completely ignoring their grandchildren.

Taxes and housing market sucks

Florida is expensive as balls. He doesn’t feel it cause he lives in a wealthy place and thinks the entire country is like that.

Didn’t Trump hand out stimulus checks too? Both are responsible.

None of those are the fault of Trump and he would very much like to lower income taxes and interest rates

You’re not wrong, but a majority of people don’t care about investments into the country or the stock market. They want gas and groceries to cost the same as 20 years ago.

If 10% of the FDI pledged by other nations hit in the first half of 2026 the economy is going to roar. I’m a little worried it may get too hot with what other leaders have pledged to invest.

Your voting pain and inflation have been caused by decades of voting for empty promises and massive illegal immigration. I can assure you if the government were controlled by the people you vote for your pain would be astronomically worse which is something you and the other sky screamers never grasp. You are your own worst enemy not Trump

That area was expensive as shite 10 years ago. Not surprising. Kind of a poor example to use.

The poll, conducted late last week, shows 36 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, down from 51 percent in a poll released in early March.
Good luck convincing your comrades that the economy is humming.

I understand. You’re not refuting my point, you’re making it.
Keep up the good work. It will probably succeed.

I’m not an economist - can someone tell me what’s so bad? Clearly, I’m missing it.
What's so bad isn't a product of Trump's economic policies, it's a product of over two decades of continual debt-building pushed by both sides of the political aisle AND how that constant debt accrual is what GDP growth has been dependent on for over a decade now.
Prior to the GFC, we had 1 year (1991 or 1992) where the federal deficit grew more than GDP (YoY whole numbers). Since the GFC, we've had only 2 or 3 years where GDP outgrew deficit spending. This means GDP growth being positive has become almost completely dependent on continued federal debt growth.
Currently annual deficits are expected to be $2T+ for as far as forecasting goes into the future. In no way is that sustainable and the longer it goes in, the worse it's going to get. The worse it gets, the more likely it becomes that investors begin shying away from US treasuries (buying that debt). As they shy away, yields have to rise to keep those treasuries moving in auction or else the Fed has to step in to avoid an auction failure (essentially QE).
If the economy is a dam holding back the waters of recession, we're just slapping paint over the small cracks we see then acting like everything is perfectly fine while we continue to paint over them again and again as they grow.

For most here, this does not compute. They don't get it.

Its caused by inflationary policies. Mainly monetary.
Its that simple.

Grocery prices sans eggs are still sky high and getting higher. You can stick your head in the sand all you want but its true. Walk down the beef aisle and the diabetes aisle(s) Chips, Cookies, Soda's, etc. and then tell me groceries aren't ridiculously expensive.
