The annual federal deficit has doubled and that's starting out with the longest run of economic and job growth in recent history.

Trump's BS about 4%, 5%, 6% GDP growth is just that -- BS.

Stock Market is stalled.

Farmers are losing their markets, their farms, and their livelihoods.

You mean like all the Wall Streeters before the financial crash that brought on the Great Recession? Before they and all the other thousands of Americans started getting laid off, professionals and non-professionals? We've all heard about those parties and how nobody ended up in jail. Hard to forget that movie, "Wolf of Wall Street" too...

That was an inversion of the yield curve with long-term interest rates were lower than short term.

Ain't no recession looming.

What you liberals need to do is overreach and overreact.
And just why the inversion please?

Might be more a question of under thinking and misunderstanding on the part of most Americans much as you seem wanting to demonstrate here, with insult to boot.

Retail sales surge in July in a reassuring sign for the U.S. economy

The numbers: Sales at U.S. retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy posted the biggest increase in July in four months, a sign Americans are still confident in the economy even as headwinds pick up.

Retail sales increased 0.7% last month, the government said Thursday. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast a 0.3% increase.

How many times has there been inversion of the yield curve?
When was the last time we had n inversion?
What usually follows an inversion?

Of course the inversion caused the market to reel because it is more evidence that present economic policies are heading us towards a recession or not preventing us form heading towards one.

Either way -- a recession will be bad for Trump. Whether or not the tariffs, it will be bad.

He lost the House with a solid economy -- a recession during the next year and a half and it will be tough to sell the economy....the only thing that might sway independent voters.

And if Trump didn't think that the tariffs could hurt the economy - -why would he back down from them.........


Nope sorry kids.......

There is a strong indication that the chaos in international trade is impacting how investors are reacting.

You don't like it -- tough bananasa -- even the President is backing down from tariff policy.

You need to jump on his train.

Conservatives think the moral panic of abortion and LGBT issues and resentment over immigration will be enough for Trump to win in a landslide in 2020 regardless of how the economy is doing. I don't believe that to be the case. Trump's base is primarily concerned with those issues but Trump can't win with just his base.
