Actually, if you read his positions, he wants to drastically cut Federal spending. Not impound it, cut it.

So for all you that are not happy, what are you doing to make your life better besides coming on here and complaining?

You have not been paying attention to my posts. Dirt summarized it above in part, thank you.

No body pays attention to your post.

Don't know if it's true or not, but I read recently that all the projected savings from DOGE's recent firings equals one day of interest on our national debt.

He has no plan other than whining that Trumps doing it.

And, some here are ok with the status quo, complaining about a president trying to change that.

Think about that.

I would expect that from JP Morgan trump haters.

If that’s the case why are all these countries that Trump has placed reciprocal tariffs on not in recession because of their tariffs ? Or are they ? And if they are, why are they putting themselves in a recession ?

Debt is going nowhere if congress can’t approve a balance budget. More going out than taking in. Any 5th grader can figure that out. But not our politicians.

We're all on that ship that's sinking, and he's A liberal as alot are that are now on Trumps team that are trying to right the ship.

The only chance is to increase gdp,, the trick is to do it through growth not created by QE

What's gdp growth going to be this year?

Don't know

with your short term thinking do you only pay your bills week to week ? I prefer looking at the goal and work backwards on how th get there. I have a by retirement goal 11 years out. an 8 year and 5 and a fine toon live 1 year 2 year 3 ect.

PF when you get our age you better live 1 day a t a time. Blink and life is over.

I don't have weekly bills. Answer would be no. For whatever that is worth.

Is your point that DOGE is not cutting enough waste, or that our national debt somehow got way too high when no one was looking?

I dont remember any executive orders Carter did. I do remember on his first day in office he pardoned the draft dodgers. I remember 18% inflation. Hard to find Gas. Enormous unemployment. Ridiculous interest rates. Considered going back in the military. Had my first kid. Was pretty broke. Thankfully class A license was easy to get back then and I had been around trucks some before I enlisted in the Air Force. It was bad economic wise. Trapping barely kept my head above water. Was real close to applying for food stamps. Ate a lot of venison potatoes and pinto beans.

What is Stagflation? Alex

That may be what the FED will have to deal with this year?

Didn't we just suffer thru 4 years of stagflation because of spending trillions and receiving nothing in return?
