The problem with immagration was the way it was done importing masses that did not need to learn our ways as they had no reason to and it might not of been encouraged to learn them. Rather then individuals who would need to learn or ways. Immagration was voter tool for the big O nothing more the fallout did not matter.

Very well stated!

The dems should be ashamed for not passing the Canada/Mexico trade deal. Treason is more like it, imo.

And there are brain-dead ones that think Obama did something special for our economy.lol. All he did was spend the rest of the bail-out money Bush hadn't doled out. If anytbing , Obama did all he could to stunt it which he was pretty successful at. As soon as Trump was elected things took off.

Interest rates were at 2.5% for 7 month's . Then the yield curve inverted and the stock market started to come down. Then the Fed began lowering rates and had to launch (Not QE) REPO . What's that tell us ?

Correct. they began raising rates before trump went into office.

Wasn't Trump the one criticizing the Fed for low rates in the first place ?

Yes the economy was fake under Obama as it was purchased with money borrowed from the future. It is just as fake under Trump as he will do the same and that is exactly what his tax cut did without cutting spending. That wore off though and the rates had to be lowered again. You will never see rates normalized going forward. The Fed lied when they said this was temporary.

"After a protracted debate, Congress and President Obama agreed at the end of 2010 to extend the Bush tax cuts for two years, 2011 and 2012. They allowed the Making Work Pay Credit to expire but replaced it with a payroll tax “holiday,” which reduced Social Security payroll taxes paid in 2011, and this was eventually extended through 2012."

YES

He use to like blondes too. Lol

Meet the new boss same as the old boss.

Keep your day job.

Back at ya.

You got it, there's more to that subject than any one person can comprehend so I won't try.

"How the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) do you compete with that? And Obama — remember this, it’s very important — Obama had zero interest,” the president told the Journal on Tuesday.

Maybe this is where this zero interest rate news comes from?

He is pushing for the Fed to take interest rates negative hardcore.I guess those tax cut's didn't pan out the way he hoped.

Helicopter money will be next.

There is no free market fundamentals at work anymore. No true price discovery. Fakery and lies are the new normal.

Please post a link to this negative interest rate thingy. I have not heard any such drivel except here., oh by the way , check your 401's, new record on Wall street AQAIN.

"Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell told Congress’s Joint Economic Committee on Wednesday that he saw “no reason” the economic expansion can’t continue and that the central bank has no imminent plans for further interest rate cuts, despite ongoing pressure from President Trump.
Powell’s comments came 24 hours after Trump bashed the Fed for not slashing interest rates more. Trump suggested the Fed lower interest rates so much that they would effectively be negative, a rare phenomenon that could lead banks to pay people for taking out loans. Asked about this, Powell largely dismissed the idea and said it would “certainly not be appropriate” in the current economic environment.


"Barron's

Couldn't link the other quote.

In the article it stated that Trump was approaching this as a "borrower", which makes sense in a way. But that's why we have a Fed I guess. I am no expert, so I will let them sort it out. In the mean time.
Just wondering how much more the National debt would be if Obama would have paid .25 instead of .025 on the debt?

Just think you could take out loans just to collect the interest. lol

We should have done this decades ago !

Best part was when he said the few people who applauded this ridiculous idea at an economics club were the smart ones.
