Russia, Russia, Russia.

Racist, racist, racist.

Recession, recession, recession.

Is there some kind of pattern here? What could it mean? /s

“No one, NO ONE can “talk” an economy into a recession. It is too ludicrous to even think about.”

Exactly correct.

If/when they drive the markets down, all the smart people BUY!

I believe even if there WERE a recession the Republican voters and those others who favor Pres Trump will blame the ‘Fed,’ as well as crazy Democrats/Rinos/Uneducated/Ignorant policy makers.

In other words his base will stick with him. We already knew that. Base alone won't elect a Republican or a Democrat.

Yes; that said, it is not all republicans who have benefited from Pres Trump. I truly think the Dems are in panic.

I disagree. I think 2018 encouraged them. They may be panicking a year from now but not yet.

The US economy is relatively isolated from global economic conditions. The inverted yield curve was likely due to the two key large foreign economies — China and Germany — that just tipped into slow or negative growth. This raised the global demand for US ten year Treasuries as a safe harbor for investors, with the result that the interest rate for such debt declined. Officials at the Fed and Treasury dare not speak too openly about this for fear of aggravating the economic difficulties that Germany and Europe face.

These phony journalists aren’t smart enough to know that, most people can read THEIR minds, and that what they’re trying to do is to talk up the idea of a pending recession in the hopes of making it happen.

A FACT that escapes their puny minds is that, a recession only occurs when the economy is doing badly and people are pulling back their spending and companies stop spending and hiring. None of those conditions exist for a recession, so, the next best thing for the leftists is to talk down the economy, and to hope people believe them.
