What does the free market have to do with China trade?
So? It’s still corporate welfare.


Imposing tariffs goes against free market ideals, as is restraining where a company manufactures their product or sources their materials/components.

Trump needs negative rates because he’s personally drowning in debt.

We all know that Trump says one thing then changes his mind.
We all know he lies.
He will say whatever he thinks will work to get re-elected.

Say what you want about Trump, he isn't as bad as Obama. We as a nation are better off with Trump than we would have been with the war mongering Obama clone, Hillary.
Trump has increased our indiscriminate missile strikes tenfold. And his administration refuses to report the number of civilian casualties.

They would proceed to buy everything up for pennies on the dollar while everyone else is declaring bankruptcy and seeing their future hopes and dreams erode. It would be a repeat of 2008 basically.

But a whole lot of democrats seem to be hoping for a crippling recession, so the rest of American can endure a TDS sufferer's level of misery. It's no wonder so many dems are critical of the low interest rates, and want to see them rise to the moon all of the sudden.

I'll say it again we are at historically low interest rates. Look where the economy is at with a micro lens not macro. There are MANY big companies taking loans out and performing buy backs.. at record levels. Why do you think? Loans are CHEAP. So liquidity is already very low.


I never made any mention of raising interest rates did I?


It's not about dems hoping we have a recession it's about our leader being upfront to the common American what our current state of affairs are economically. Instead he shouts out subjective lagging numbers and pushes his campaign. Heck even Xi has addressed his people for tough times ahead and he's a gangster lol.


The recession is coming, it's just a matter of how long Trump and the 1%ers can keep things propped up ahead of the election. And why do the 1%ers want him in office? Because they see the writing on the wall.


Capitalism is past it's expiration date in this country. We're headed for the biggest consolidation of wealth we've ever seen. It's not a meme or conspiracy theory anymore lol.

Time for a tech dividend to support the common man, even repug's who vote against it

He's a beast. He does not have a soul because he sold it to the devil a long time ago.

In other words, bailout. Why is he asking the fed for anything? We have a healthy economy according to him.
