When the price of beef goes down, I will know Trumps “affordability” policy
is working.
Thanks. I followed the link, then watched the video. Bessent presents very well.
In truth, we are asking a lot if we want results in year one. I am encouraged by the positive changes that have taken place and expect more positive changes in the future. Bessent is positive about 2026.
Trump is not just stepping on the gas. Monetary or fiscal policy can be used to step on the gas. It gives a short-term lift but then proves to be inflationary.
Trump has changed regulations and tariff policy so as to change the direction we are heading. Laying off government workers and illegals and increasing private employment of American workers takes time. (What are state and local governments doing?).
Increasing domestic energy production is great as I don’t fear CO2. (How about a new refinery?).
I can’t keep track of digital currency; it’s over my head. What’s going on with BRICS efforts to get off the dollar?
Education reform can be started now but may take a generation to fully play out.
I am not sure what to make of this.
My personal observation is that people are being laid off from high-paying jobs and being hired for low-paying jobs.
People who have not worked in quite some time are getting hired.
The number of fake job postings is down. If a job is advertised, it seems more likely that somebody will actually be hired for that job.
There are still in excess of 100 applicants for any job that appears to pay upper income salaries. Recruiters are still bitching about the poor quality of the applicants. I still have no sympathy for recruiters.
My sample size is very small. It is too early for me to be certain of any trends.
Bessent is a Soros employee who made his millions crashing the Pound with Soros. He’s a mentally unstable poofter who punched Elon for pointing out good BS. He and his husband bought two kids.
Blows my mind that he’s some kinds of hero now
Yeah…. Mr blue collar. Importing the H1Bs because Americans don’t have skills, bringing in another 600k Chinamen, his fix to housing is 50 year mortgage, health insurance and electric rates are through the roof. But he can’t touch that because he AI billionaire buddies want the electricity and want to bit up all the houses.
This is poll driven DC gaslighting of MAGa
