Fucjo and the Republican Congress are really potentially screwing the pooch on this one. Read this article. It’s scary.

So, tell me more about when the deficits were really soaring and the economy wasnt that hot. (ie the Obama administration)

Incorrect thesis. A bad combination is a crashing economy and a soaring deficit. Next worse is a near stagnant economy with rising deficits. You can work with what we now have (a rising economy with rising deficits). A soaring economy with rising deficits is just a spending problem that you can potentially 'grow" your way out of.

Yes, and there are ways to combat it, like hiking interest rates.....but if the left wants to deride a soaring US economy, have at it. Nothing like a presidential candidate promising pain, suffering, and dispair to the American voter. Don't believe me, ask Walter Mondale.

lol...the world is in a deflationary cycle. As long as "high yield" bonds (they used to call these "junk bonds" because they are so risky) only pay 5-6% interest, you know inflation basically doesnt exist.

A few days ago I looked at gold prices for the first time in a couple of years. They seemed to be about the same.

do folks continue to buy our debt or not......think about it....what other value has "value"???

when they stop and another form of currency takes over, that's when you need to be worried....not going to happen anytime soon....#tooembeded

inflation is only going to become a problem as folks continue to crawl mid/south..

our nuts are already there in the housing market....your nuts are going to experience deflation.....watch how it plays out....the northern mid/ne/west is going to see a housing/taxation collapse based on collectible revenue.....this time it will be due to actual numbers and not some ponzi bs.....

valuation will play out regardless of all the stupid daily pine......

I don't give a fk about some dipshite rag.....those stupid fk's don't have a clue....

and I really don't give a fk about how stagnant wages was designed by the left......

y'all have have a good day fighting that bs.....

you lose this every day Mach....so does the left....

RE: The economy is soaring and so are deficits. Bad combination
btw, name the cheater in the chair that took the USD to a level of less than the highest.....

jfc.....

what's scary is how some compare themselves to the overall....................then try to ascribe how it fk'n matters....

the only war that matters is keeping the USD solvent.....I'll say that till I die......

I really don't want to have to start killing people for coin......that's what happens if the posit doesn't happen....

and it means 1 whether one likes it or not if 0....only 1 matters

y'all have a good day battling through the semantics......it doesn't mean dick-0-la

like giving my econ dipshite prof's 'da finga'.....I walked out with a sadistic laugh and never looked back.....

To lower the deficit, I suggest cutting Mach’s meds.

You should never cut taxes in an expanding economy. You are going to deficit spend to increase inflation. The 300 dollar tax cut is going to be eaten away for the vast majority of us. You watch.

please expound......you know I'm fair if facts are presented,.....

I already presented my theorem....

you don't get a free pass this time....

I want some macro theory on this one.....it's easy to cherry pick those that are still on the porch....

explain how we ALL achieve 'wealth' vs. the USD.....

the day one can define the winnners vs. losers in a macro spectrum vs, isolation in 'equality' is the day I day bend over and you get paddle my fat arse....

it's unacheivable.....you're looking for something that doesn't/nor will exist....

Aren’t they always. “Why can’t we all just get along?” “Coexist.” “Utopia.”
In the end it’s just “I want to feel good about it all.”
