Only 22,000 jobs created in this whole nation in August...and these are Trump numbers! Something is very wrong with his plan....Next out the Inflation report is expected to be higher and you can see it in the Stores as they admitted maybe next year it will be better...Something is very,very wrong with his line of thinking. Remember folks mid-terms just around the corner....

You sort of can as he has been peddling that crap...
The midterms are a year away—that is a lifetime in politics. Gas prices are down a bit, depending on where you are in the country. The same is true for food prices—at least where I am. For 12 of the last 16 years, RATS ruled the roost and, with their GOPe partners, screwed this country while reaping millions from the stock market with insider trading. People expect Trump to fix it in 7 months? That is just dumb. Also, Trump warned us it would get rough before it got better. I sure hope MAGA people are not showing weak spines already.
I suspected and may even have posted about this, all these tax cuts are being given to put more money in people's pockets because bringing down inflation and building back the economy will not be easy. But a few extra dollars from tax breaks will help offset the pain.
Plenty of other sites that say the same thing..
MSM crap
I’m pretty sure Trump signed every bill he has been given to him by Congress.
WHEN BURGER FLIPPERS ARE MAKING $20 AN HOUR OR MORE-—
WHAT DO YOU THINK CARPENTERS/MASONS/HVAC/ROOFERS/PAINTERS ARE MAKING???
A GALLON OF 20 YEAR EXTERIOR PAINT USED TO COST UNDER $10-—and lasted a really long time.
NOW—A GALLON PAINT IS $45 OR MORE & MUST GET REPAINTED IN ABOUT 5-6 YEARS. THANKS, EPA.
EVERY PART OF BUILDING A HOUSE COSTS MORE. FROM THE LOGGERS TO THE FINAL CARPETS.
I bought a house in 1966 for $25,250. 1250 sq ft. 62 X 125 lots. City. TODAY, SAME HOUSE IS GOING FOR $750,000 range.
I built a garage 20 years ago==24 X 24=576 SQ FT & it cost me $15,000 and I got local labor for very good prices. 220 Electrical guy didn’t charge for any labor-—only the parts.
Mod, the headline is “mnade up” and the excerpt are posters own words.
There is no such thing as “good money”. If you are not getting employees then you need to offer “more money”.
I SUGGEST THAT PARTICIPATION TROPHIES DESTROYED THE WORK ETHIC.
FOR 15+++ years, kids showed up & got a TROPHY for showing up at local park.
LIFE IS NOT LIKE THAT.
A WEEKLY PAYCHECK IS NOT A PARTICIPATION TROPHY.
YOUR EMPLOYER EXPECTS LABOR & WORK IN TRADE FOR THAT PAYCHECK.
WHEN DID ANY OF US SHOW UP AT A JOB INTERVIEW WITH OUR MOTHER??? IT HAPPENS TODAY.....PITIFUL
I care about Canada why?
Why? Covid tested the market and people kept buying and set the new normal.
Now it is tariffs. Oh my! Did I say that it might have been not such a great idea to turn world trade on it’s head all at one time? Yes, yes I did say that.
Guess what. Trump and Bessent said that we should expect some tough sledding for at least awhile. Well, here it is.
INEXPERIENCED KIDS EXPECT TOO MUCH FOR NO TALENT & NO INCENTIVE TO ACTUALLY WORK.
CPI next week.
PCE last week. Above 3% core, and we can expect the same from CPI.
The problem with 3% is not 3%. It’s that the trend is now up, towards 3+ and 4%. Cutting rates as this is establishing is insane. We’ll see 8% if that goes on, and it will have NOTHING to do with tariffs.
8% CPI will not be winning any elections.
Without numbers this means nothing. You are emoting like a liberal.
Because of the demographic bubble that the country is going through right now.
The boomers are getting old, but they are not selling their houses. The next largest cohort are the “millenials” who are deep into building their families and they are hitting their peak earning years. So they are buying up the larger homes.
In a few years (and not many 5-7) the boomers will be dying in significant numbers. This is going to free up homes (and assets) which will flow down to their kids. But those kids already have their “grown up homes.” So, the market is going to have an influx of homes flowing into the marketplace.
By 2030, between the boomers dying off AND new homes being rushed into the marketplace now….there is likely to be glut in housing and the prices will come screaming down.
In short, the largest two cohorts of population are moving through the demographic markets right now. That is unusual. It will correct…but its going to take a few years to happen.
Nation will not be in a functional state by then anyway...
Well, I guess we should just buy the kool aid and kill ourselves then.
I guess what I would tell my kids is, “If you think it’s going to be THAT bad in the next year…what are you DOING to get ready for it?”
Other than complain?
Yep. Ignorant tariffs “conservatives”
Just remember People vote their pocket books and the question will be brought up “Are you better off now or under Democrats..” and many will say NO.I hate Democrats but that is what will happen as the GOP has no answers or a hint of an answer other than spend...
I SUGGEST THAT PARTICIPATION TROPHIES DESTROYED THE WORK ETHIC.

I doubt it.
More like an office based workforce that makes people soft and woke, plus a bunch of subsistence employment that is having a hard time with the most extreme asset inflation and regulatory environment in United States history.
