If Hillary Clinton is elected President, the Clinton Foundation will generate more money than the Federal Reserve.

Everybody knows they’ll just cook the books and twist the numbers to show that we’re not in a recession even though we are.

Trump sees it just fine, and when the next quarter comes out he will have a real sledge hammer to pound her into the ground. Trump knows exactly what he is doing, and he knows the time to do it as well. He didn't get this far by not knowing what he is doing.

BTW, he will become the 45th President of the United States, because the economy is not going to have any bright spots at anytime between now and the election.

I’d disagree. Probably since 2005, we’ve been screwed. Hurricane Katrina wrecked the entire economy and we haven’t fully recovered since. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs is what we need.

America is in a recession. Has been since 2008. There has never been an 0bama recovery.

The lamestream will also start doing special reports on the appearance overnight of the homeless despite the face that 90 million plus Americans have no work. It will all be due to the fact that Donald Trump is out to kill the blacks and mexicans

But here's the thing none of these models factor in: the impact of Trump himself. He could become his very own October Surprise through what I have termed the Trump Doom Loop — the negative feedback effects among markets, politics, and the U.S. economy. The better Trump does in the polls, the more people around the world will worry, and the worse it will be for economic confidence... and thus the better Trump does in the polls.

Important point. Trump should pay close attention to it. It's how he can play chess with the avalanche of anti-Trump world leaders and globalists.

“If America falls into recession....”

WRONG!

corrected:

“If America rises into recession....”

(the rest I did not read, not after such a bozo propaganda attempt in the first 3 words)

Everybody knows Obola has the economy booby-trapped to implode the minute he leaves office.

The economy toasted a while back, about 7 years. It is the news that will be released and harped upon via the lying media upon his departure.

Sumbritches need to be held accountable, period.

Here is an article about it:

http://www.wsj.com/articles/a-bearish-george-soros-is-trading-again-1465429163

He doesn’t sound like he’s currently propping up anything.

Although the article does correctly say, he’s a big supporter of Hillary and Democrats.

They’ve been propping up the stock market by printing money and buying stocks.

Trump seems unable to see it, but a lousy economy remains the greatest threat to Clinton's White House hopes, and thus the greatest aid for Trump's presidential bid. The anemic recovery hardly seems a tailwind for Clinton's campaign. A year ago, Yale economist Ray Fair, well known for using the economy to predict elections, said continued sluggish-though-improving GDP growth implied "a fairly large loss for the Democrats."

He's keeping his finger on that pulse - snorted at the last Jobs-report and mentioned the economy/unemployment. His platform on trade and bringing manufacturing back to America are still there.

If he overcooks it now and they manage to cook the books all the way til the election, putting doubt in the working classes' mind, it might not be so effective. I'd say he has the right grip on it.

Economic signs around the world shows the world is going into a once-every-eight-years recession. Look at the economic reports coming out of Europe, Japan, China and South America--all not very good. And even retail sales at Apple are falling, too.

We need to put into place both major income tax reform and business regulatory reform to make encourage savings and capital investment staying in the USA and provide the basis for a true, broad-based economic recovery. And start the process--phased in over a decade--to turn the US Dollar from a fiat currency to one backed by a mix of metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper and nickel).

Can’t be out of money if one has checks in the checkbook, or in this case, ink and paper.

America is already in recession. As Gingrich has said, the economy has created 1 job for 8,000 people. I live in a town of 60,000. That means 8 jobs were created for the entire town.

That is a catastrophic recession.

If? We are still contracting deeper into a depression. There has been no expansion.
