It was just reported that Berkshire has $400 billion on the sidelines in cash, saying " there's nothing to invest in", and called the current investing environment. "gambling".

Combining this decision to withhold growth investment dollars from the economy with the chokehold by Too Late and the Fed, I now conclude (only for myself) that there are people that do not want Trump to succeed in growing our economy BECAUSE that would PROVE him CORRECT,

... and these people can't have this happen for all the reasons you have already know. It's pitiful. Really: A conspiracy between the individuals that control money movement keeps the Fed paying the banks (and those that act as a bank) NOT to invest for economic growth. ALL GROWTH IS NOT INFLATIONARY.

Most of the growth is in AI and software...

Business Investment Surging After POTUS' Tax Cuts
Yes, and no. Trump's 2017 TCJA elimitated immediate deprectiation for software defvelopement expenses. That resulted in massive tax bills for anyone developing software. (My small business got a mid six-figure tax bill as a result, for example). The BBB fixed that, so no doubt software developers are in a better position than they were as a result of Trump 1.0.

Do you really not see the difference between $1 of investment in a manufacturing plant and $1 of investment in a data center?
Ineffeciency and malinvestment does not create wealth, nor add to GDP. If it did, we'd oultlaw all computers and mechanized equiment. Go back to horse drawn farming, typewriters, and the telegraph.

To see how quickly we have climbed out of that deep hole, and then to say, we have only grown 2% tells you the foundation has been set for the economy to explode.
Take out government and AI and we knocking on negative growth

Translation: The table is no longer rigged with the payoffs I have made in the past and we might actually have to invest cash the ole fashioned way.

Exactly, take out the forward pass and by gosh Joe Burrow is just an afterthought as a quarterback.

Take out gasoline and cars are just small living modules.

Take the tatties off Sweeney and she is just a girl.
