October 10, 2025Oct 10 Popular Post Half of U.S. states sliding into recession, Moody’s warns The U.S. economy may look strong on paper — with 3.8% GDP growth and 4.3% unemployment — but underneath the surface, roughly half the country is effectively in recession, according to Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi. In an exclusive interview with Fortune, Zandi said 22 states are contracting, while 13 are “treading water.” Only 16 are still expanding, and it’s the economic strength of California, Texas, and New York keeping the national numbers afloat. “Depending on where you live and who you are,” Zandi warned, “the environment around you is recessionary.” Lower- and middle-income Americans are “hanging on by their fingertips,” burdened by debt, slowing wage growth, and fading confidence despite steady employment. “They’ve got jobs,” Zandi said, “but the grip feels more tenuous … if layoffs pick up, that group is gonna get nailed — they have no savings, just debt.” Private-sector data, released amid the ongoing federal government shutdown, shows consumer sentiment sharply deteriorating among households earning under $35,000. Nearly one in five respondents told The Conference Board that jobs are “hard to get,” while a quarter expect the labor market to worsen. Zandi cautioned that if the economic weakness now gripping smaller, manufacturing-heavy states spreads to giants like California or New York, the entire U.S. could tip into recession. The underlying reality, he said, is that America’s post-pandemic economy is “tethered to the wealthy.” High earners continue to spend, masking distress below the surface. But for millions living paycheck to paycheck, “it already feels like a recession — everything except: ‘I’ve got a job.’” Key Takeaways: 22 states are now contracting despite strong national growth. Lower-income Americans are “hanging on by their fingertips.” Weakness spreading to big states could trigger a full U.S. recession. Original Source:
October 10, 2025Oct 10 Popular Post Pure ignorance on the part of Trump. He knows nothing about the globalization, and he appears to know nothing about the inherent ecosystems within globalization, nor the reasons why globalization happened to begin with. There's a reason why that's taking place, there's a reason why manufacturing has shifted overseas. It didn't happen in a vacuum and that manufacturing will not return to the US, not during our lifetime. It is just a slogan and a concept that he used to very craftily deceive millions of people into voting for him. Trump lies when he says other nations will pay for the tariffs. He lies when he says companies will pay for them. Consumers will pay, so it becomes a tax. Be bold, big Don and for once be honest. It is a tax hike. And it is slowing down the economy, and will result in a massive loss of jobs, and major inflation. Very dumb policy. Mr. Trump has contended that his tariffs would lower inflation, because they would increase manufacturing and the productive capacity of the United States. But most economists say that tariffs of the size he imposed would increase consumer prices and add to inflation. A wave of frustration over prolonged inflation helped power Trump to victory in November, and a majority of respondents -- 58% -- said inflation would be a major factor in deciding their vote in future elections. But just 32% approved of the job Trump was doing on inflation. Views of the economy by households deteriorated this month to the lowest level in over a year, according to a widely followed survey by the University of Michigan. Gerald Dunn, a Republican 66-year-old martial arts instructor from Staatsburg, in New York State's Hudson Valley. "I like what he is doing but I think a lot of what he says is just BS. "I struggle with things like picking a fight with Canada. Why are we picking a fight with Canada?" said Todd Wellman, a 49-year-old Republican from Indianapolis. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-gets-middling-grades-americans-top-issues-reutersipsos-poll-finds-2025-02-23/

October 10, 2025Oct 10 Most of Europe is going into a full blown recession so I guess a half recession is not too bad.
October 10, 2025Oct 10 Popular Post Well, Trump took the growth Obama left him and handed Biden a Recession. I think he can do it again to Newsom. Trump is the first US president since Herbert Hoover to leave office with fewer Americans employed than when he entered. His so-called "best economy ever" wasn't even in the top 70% of economies since the end of WWII. It's kind of like his "stable genius" claim, when Rep Crockett was able to get his SAT scores and see he scored in the 38th percentile. Biden presided over the greatest job growth in US History, and the best economic growth since the Clinton years of the late 1990s. Oh, and inflation is higher today than when Trump took over. The funniest stat I've seen in the last while is that a poll was taken by YouGov, Jimmy Kimmel had a higher approval rating than Trump.

October 10, 2025Oct 10 Popular Post U.S. Economy at a Glance https://www.bea.gov/news/glance The left wing zealots want the U.S. economy to go into a recession because of their hatred toward President Trump. But alas, that is just not the case. "Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.8 percent in the second quarter of 2025 (April, May, and June" Which proves that the Trump economy is doing great. The stock market is at an all time high which again proves that investors have total confidence in President Trump and his policies. Soon, President Trump will will receive the Noble Peace Prize for this efforts in securing peace in Gaza. President Trump is making America great again and helping the world to solve its problems.

Lol! This is the Q2/Q1 growth rate which has been annualized, not the year to year growth! 🤣🤣🤣 (The reason for this high Q2 growth being that Q1 growth was negative) This is obtained by multiplying the quarter to quarter growth rate (0.9%) by four. The year to year growth is 2.1% and the 2025 forecasts are 1.8-1.9% (compared to 2.9% in 2024, so minus 1%). https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/ https://www.spglobal.com/ratings/en/regulatory/article/economic-outlook-us-q4-2025-below-trend-growth-persists-amid-a-swirl-of-policy-shifts-s101646549
