I don't think you understand inflation at all. It's not about inflation per se, it's about the rate of inflation. And are you suggesting that people who can't afford their own private transportation, move to the cities? Do you have a clue as to how much rents have risen? Do you believe that the widespread discontent about the cost of living among the middle class means that they are clueless?

 

Sorry, I dont have all the answers.

Thats why they don't pay me the big bucks.

THIS .... is the truth .   People just don't try to understand what "globalism"  entails .

It takes a lot of work , sorting through the mess that is called "the financial system" .

I certainly am not a scholar on that subject .   But i am good at putting 2 and 2 together:

 

"Today, Amazon is the third largest company in the world by market capitalisation, after Apple and Microsoft, with a market capitalisation of $1.7 trillion. But BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, controls more than $10 trillion worth of assets. One or another of the Big Three asset managers – BlackRock, Vanguard or State Street – is the largest shareholder in around 88 per cent of S&P500 companies. BlackRock alone is the largest investor in thirty-eight such companies,"   

 

look kids.... they "manage"  everything.   And if you don't believe that includes the govt. leaders and banking "institutions" ...... then , ok, just stick with Trump is the problem.

Actually ,  trying to FIX the problem is the problem !     As the trump haters fight the trump lovers....... the real "managers"  of zee world play golf and laugh at us over cocktails.

Thanks for clearing that up. Not. I suspect that when you put "2 and 2 together" you come up with 5.

When you've got nothing relevant to offer, you make it personal. You've got nothing.

Speaking of parallel universes, I just don't know how you could even consider the possibility that a low income earner could buy a house in America these days, it just doesn't happen anymore, many middle income earners cannot buy a home these days, so what you're saying is completely delusional, especially when you consider current interest rates, and the incredibly bloated cost of housing in the US. 

Why has housing gotten so expensive?

I became deranged, I became delirious, I refused to buy into the Trump/ MAGA narrative, I started drinking the blood of babies in the basements of pizza parlors in New York, and it was all downhill from there. 

 

I realize that his defenders argue that it takes a long time to bring prices down, but Trump was the one who said prices would start coming down on day one, Trump was the one who promised to bring prescription drug prices down across the board. We are not making this stuff he was saying.

 

Sorry, but where I come from a man's word actually means something. I know in this parallel MAGA Universe it doesn't anymore, but for me and billions of others, it does. 

How did Joe Biden’s and the Dems inflation reduction act workout for the USA.   LOL….

Who’s president now?who ran his campaign on bringing prices down on day one?

Whenever a MAGA devotee has nothing to say, and no reasonable argument to put forth, they revert to criticism of Biden, Obama or Clinton. 

 

The irony is that Clinton was a genius when it came to running the economy, and Trump is a total failure, job losses, whipsaw tariff policy, many based on personal vendettas, failed trade deals, consistently getting outsmarted by American allies and adversaries both, price hikes, and the most expensive cars in history.

 

Trumpflation

The Trump Shutdown

The Epstein friendship Accepting huge gifts from nations that sponsor terror Billions made from the presidency so far

Quite a legacy

 

I can see what they deflect. It has to be quite embarrassing, when looked at objectively.

It worked quite well. After it started to be implemented, inflation went down (not the only cause, of course)!  🤣

Given how little benefit it would offer, and how few people would likely choose such a plan, it's best to characterize that suggestion as a very stupid one.

Why would it be "very stupid" for those who chose to take advantage of them?   Without reverting to "They pay more interest", how would it be any more "stupid" than a 30-year mortgage?

Because the save very little on monthly payments 1.67 times as long to pay off their mortgage.

Here's a great example of Trumpenomics, and I think somebody should alert Stockholm when the time comes for the next Nobel in Economics...

 

Trump spent ten months telling everyone that "Foreigners" pay the tariffs and it won't raise prices at the consumer level.

 

Yesterday Trump announced tariff reductions on things like coffee and bananas, "in order to bring prices down".

 

So imposing tariffs doesn't raise prices, but cutting tariffs lowers prices.

 

Can we get a round of applause out of MAGAstan?

And people know it!

 

Even Rassmussen is at -10!
