Far from Obama’s economy. To say the least. The media is trying to talk the USA into a recession. There is not one.

Laurence Tribe claiming that Trump’s objective here is to reverse the outcome of the Civil War. How exactly would that be done? What is Laurence Tribe actually saying? That Trump is trying to bring back slavery? That Trump is trying to reconstitute slavery? Anybody paying scant attention to this can clearly see who is losing their mind and who’s off the reservation.

NOT ONLY do Republicans NOT want slavery - then or now - but we don't even want the CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS slipping in from Mexico. NO slaves No 'wetback cheap labor'....

Laurence Tribe has confused us with democrats - people who wanted and kept slaves and people who want and fight for cheap labor illegals.

There is an impending Global recession which is why our strong economy is slower than it could be. We should benefit as our companies can purchase goods for manufacturing at cheaper prices from abroad given the slowdown, we just have less of an advantage export currently.

BS. It’s the GOP driving the Cheap Labor Express. Only a nit wit would think otherwise. The Democrats want illegals for their vote and the social welfare suck. Nice try, FAIL.

Our economy runs a deficit with the world and is not affected by global slow down to any significant degree.

As a proof if you took away all of our exports how much would GDP fall?

  1. 20%
  2. 12%
  3. 9%
  4. 7%

In 2018, U.S. GDP was 69% personal consumption, 18% business investment, 17% government spending, and negative 5% net exports. so if exports slow further it will still negatively impact GDP, let’s say it could decrease it by .25 percent in an environment of about 2 or 2.5% growth that is still significant.

https://finance.townhall.com/columnists/politicalcalculations/2019/08/22/what-the-dickens-is-going-on-with-recession-indicators-n2552057?utm_source=thdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&bcid=a92afcf8e8f9e712d35343d502270a09

Wow, that is a long link. I won’t post the article because not all of it is of value. I have to confess actually I was under the impression that quantitative easing was still ongoing, not curtailed as the writer suggests.

The short of it is those “indicators” are just not valid.

I almost hate myself for posting something from CNBC, that I loathe like nothing else, but Credit Suisse says no recession.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/20/a-recession-dashboard-from-credit-suisse-indicates-the-economy-is-nowhere-near-a-recession.html

4 of the 7 indicators indicate expansion.

Bush gave us the crash
Obama gave us depression
Trump gives us the greatest BOOM in history

You’d think that with all of the lying, the MSM would lose credibility. It is like math teacher who claims that 1 + 1 = 3 or an English teach who can’t spell. Accurate news should be at the core of their being. Hey, maybe we Americans have lowered our standards.

Years ago a status item was the black butler, nanny, cook, and/or gardener.

YOU won's see that anymore...

Today guilty white liberal elites have dumped all black 'help' because they want to see themselves as the great defenders of blacks. (They'd all be in chains if it weren't for white liberal elites like Biden after all, right?).

It's NOT stylish to hire blacks for ANY in-house work. YOU know that central va...

So liberal 'elites' dumped black 'help' and replaced them with illegals... Illegals work cheap, under the table and are grateful. Just like blacks use to be when democrats lorded their superiority over them...

Last paragraph:
You buy a one-thousand-dollar bond in Germany, after it matures it’s gonna be less than a thousand dollars you get back. Why would somebody do this? There were people that made tracks in Germany, all kinds of people participated in an auction to buy such bonds in Germany yesterday. Why? Well, there is an answer. It’s coming up.

There's a piece of the story missing . . .

Good grief. If the world economy implodes it’s taking us with it simply because of the FACT that the European banks have hundreds of trillions in overlapping derivative exposure with US banks. It’s not a simple numbers game that you keep portraying. If you think that DB collapsing because of a Greek default wont even move the needle here-well-just sit and watch.

The number one indicator of an economic downturn is actually RV sales. Yeah. You heard that right. RV sales. They are a better indicator than any economist. They’re down 20% this year. Year over year delivers started to collapse last year. The RV industry has always been the canary. Right now the canary is gasping for breath.

Which is why we don’t need to be lowering interest rates right now. We need to raise them. When the global economy tanks-we need to give investors a flight to safety. If we are sitting at zero interest rates too, we don’t look any better Han the other guys.

The media seized on that very very minor discrepancy in prices so one of them could say the word “recession.” Immediately the rest of them picked up on it and are doing their best to talk the economy down.

Obviously, they have stopped talking about the obama economy.
