Try telling that to the many people with very modest retirement resources. It’s not “selfish” to want to stay alive, have simple shelter, etc., without asking for charity (private or public).
Honestly everyone should have been protecting their retirements sources before Trump put the tariffs in.
There was plenty of warnings and he told everyone his plan to fix our country.
Even at that your concern is misplaced, those retirements were going to be completely destroyed in just a few years given the country’s economic trajectory and debt, the real choice was fix it now and endure the pain or don’t fix it and literally have nothing and starve while freezing in the cold because lost your housing in your retirement years.
People with modest retirement resources ought to be mostly in bonds and not stocks. What Trump is doing, is very good for bonds.
See my post just above, Paul R.
If nothing is done now, you (all of us) WILL lose all you (we) have saved in our lives, and will lose our Republic with it, and believe me, it won’t take long.
Or you can take a hit now, save some of what you have with the possibility of getting it back, and saving our Republic for our descendants to prosper.
