As far as what Americans should be worried about, yeah, inflation is bad. The Fed sucks.

The FED is going to raise interest rates and this will attract capital to America. The money will leave Europe, with its stagnant growth, its rampant inflation, its incompetent "leaders" like Macron and the useless new German guy, and of course, money will go as far as it can from Madame Inflation, this is, the incompetent Christine Lagarde, the worst central banker in history.

Yeah the money will all go to Elon Musk.

Trevor Reed: Parents overjoyed at release of US Marine in Russia

The couple protested outside the White House last month, ultimately securing a meeting with the president.

In a media interview outside their home in a suburb of Dallas on Wednesday, they thanked Mr Biden, who his father said "probably saved our son's life".

"Anyone who says he's [Mr Biden's] not a compassionate or kind man is just a liar or an idiot," his father said about Mr Biden.​

I couldn't have said it better

Now watch this fraud grope our flag like he is raping one of his pornstars.



And if you are still confused as to how f-d up the Trumplethinskin Party is, consider Russian National Cmte Ohio candidate JD Vance, who in 2016 still had some sense by saying Trump could be America's Hitler, and is an idiot. He also said the RNC is basically a low income party for white people.

Fast forward to now, and he sees he can't win without kissing Trump's ass, plus giving him a nice financial donation, and embracing the wall which he thinks will keep out drugs. And of course he uses the evil boogeyman Critical Race Theory to scare said low income white people. And for whatever reason, there is something about Vance that tickles Trump's fancy.

The only problem is the Club for Growth, a huge Russian, I mean Republican PAC, supports the other near neo nazis Ohio candidates, because Vance initially called Trump Hitler, plus they probably haven't slipped Don enough $$ yet.

And they aren't backing Drump's Looney Bin Wyoming Candidate who Drump is running against Liz Cheney, because lord knows Nascisist Trump holds a grudge like no other.

So Donny literally tells the Club for Growth to go f itself.

A bunch of animals who won't rest until they destroy this country.

There's an interesting theory, quoted briefly by Bill Browder, that Putin put Trump at the White House.

Actually it is very likely those Russians "helped" Trump not to go bankrupt... AGAIN.

Money laundering using American companies?

Boeing is regretting having signed a contract with Trump to provide several modified B747, several Air Force Ones... the company is in trouble and the stock is going downhill.

Maybe Trumpians want to contribute and make a donation to the Boeing company.

Joe Biden is sinking faster than even his harshest critics ever imagined. I hate to say "I told you so", but check the archives of this thread. He promised to stop the Covid deaths, and we are now fast approaching one million deaths: over 600,000 new fatalities since January 2021, when he took office.

I hope everybody who supported this man's campaign and voted for him, and that woman he selected as VP, is satisfied

Less than a third of Americans approve of Biden's performance on economy
Less than a third of Americans approve of President Biden's handling of the economy — and an overwhelming majority admit they are "upset" or "concerned" by soaring inflation, according to the latest unflattering poll.

More than nine in 10 Americans (94%) say they are worried about spiking prices as inflation climbs to a 40-year high under the 46th president, according to the most recent ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted last week.

As a result, only a meager 28% "approve" of Biden's job performance when it comes to the economy.

The biting results don't bode well for Democrats heading into the midterm elections.

The Federal Reserve is neglecting its duties, which consist of keeping inflation controlled.

Inflation is going through the roof, reaching new highs every month and standing at 40 year highs, and the FED only raises rates by a meagre 50 points.

It's just ridiculous. Jay Powell should resign or be fired.

The Democrats are the ones who are "destroying" this country.

It's obvious that Biden and that woman, the one who slept with powerful men to break into politics, are totally incompetent. I think that the reason Biden chose her, is that she's even worse than he is which is his insurance policy against impeachment.

It's exactly what I said they'd do, and they haven't got much of a choice. The economy is slowing down, so they won't want to risk a recession. Just remember that they caused this mess, though. They are screwed either way.

I think someone as old as Jerome Powell, with everything done in life, should be a bit more brave and do the right thing, even if it is just this one time, when inflation needs to be contained.

The Federal Reserve should increase interest rates faster and reduce the balance faster than expected, faster than they communicated in their forward "guidance".

They shouldn't have stopped the quantitative tightening in early 2019. They saw the market react and then started the artificial stimulation again. They should have let the markets correct, no matter how deep. All they are doing is delaying the inevitable.

The problem is that a 1% rise won't help people much; especially pensioners. This is because the rate that people's pensions are rising is nowhere near the rate of inflation (which is really above 15%). 1% isn't going to help those people, and a recession could make the situation even worse as their pension funds are tied to the markets. There could be a situation where pensioners are forced to work again just to make ends meet, and this would create a problem in the job market.

A recession would see a large number of people losing their jobs, and this would lead to fewer federal taxes being received. In return, this would increase the deficit because more people would be reliant upon social security, so what would their solution be? They'd have to raise even more money via bonds. Where does it end?

It would be prudent to keep a close eye on the interest rate by raising it slowly, and they will need to make some budget cuts. The problem is that budget cuts don't lead to votes, and politicians are only interested in votes! It's like a vicious cycle.

There will be pain, but we will all have to pull together and help each other out. Bring back the community spirit of old that seems to have died out.

Kudos to Biden, as we are now entering a recession. I hope that he, and that woman he chose as VP, along with those who voted for them, are satisfied that he's doing his best to ruin the country's economy and everything else that he gets involved in.

Biden promised to solve the COVID-19 crisis, and now we are at 995,000 deaths - which is well over half a million since he took office, despite the vaccines that were handed to him on a silver platter.

When Trump had 220,000 COVID-19 deaths, in Oct. 2021, Biden said that any president with that many deaths should not be in office.

Some said that Trump was personally responsible for all of the COVID-19 deaths. They are saying absolutely nothing now, regarding Biden's utter failure to do what he promised.

Democrats are the biggest hypocrites, and the most corrupt, of the two parties - of this, there is no question in my mind.

The ideal time to make budget cuts is as soon as a politician assumes office. So in Spain it will be next year, after the general election.

In the US no one knows what Biden is doing.. asking for more spending. He should have implemented budget cuts as soon as he got to the White House... and then save some political credit to lower taxes before the election.

The FED has its hands tied. Inflation is through the roof and interest rates must continue going up.

This is how the US uses the dollar as an economic weapon against other countries:

"The strong dollar has also been creating problems in emerging market countries, particularly those with a significant amount of debt denominated in dollars. Even before this year's run-up in the dollar, roughly 60 per cent of low-income countries were at risk of debt distress, according to the IMF.

"The strong dollar is part of why you're seeing very limited investment in emerging markets today. Because that is a big risk. The dollar liabilities in much of emerging markets today are sizeable, not just on the sovereign level, but also at the corporate level," said Rick Rieder, chief investment officer for global fixed income, BlackRock.

According to Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist at Corpay, such strains are the latest reminder that the dollar is "our currency, but it's your problem", in the words of former US Treasury secretary John Connally in the early 1970s."

This must be the beauty of "globalization." :LOL: :ROFL:
