THESE IDIOTS NEVER GIVE UP !
First it’s :
RUSSIA – RUSSIA – RUSSIA !
Then it’s :
CCOLLUSION – COLLUSION – COLLUSION !
After that it’s on to :
IMPEACH – IMPEACH – IMPEACH !
And when that failed :
RACIST – RACIST – RACIST !
And now it’s :
RECESSION – RECESSION – RECESSION !

Do I detect a pattern of mass psychosis here ?
The deranged DEMOCRATS are afflicted with terminal case of TDS – a form of incurable insanity.
Better them than us !

MAGA/KAG/GBA #TRUMP2020 Deus Vult !

The Democrats have made a science out of producing “experts” who follow exactly their Marxist Playbook. I am very skeptical of anyone claiming to be an expert in anything, especially if that “expert” is endorsed by the Democrat/MSM fraudsters. President Trump understands the vicissitudes of the world’s economy better than any President in my lifetime. There may be some bumps ahead, but I am very positive about our nation’s economic future. MAGA

This is not a Democrat or Republican thing. A recession happens every now and then. America is due for one. We can’t base our opinions on who the President is. It is inevitable we will have a recession sooner than later.

Russia, Racism and now Recession. Next week it’ll be the “R” word best describing a split between Trump and the EU as he strengthens our unity with Boris Johnson and the English people for Brexit at the G7. Going to be exciting, so pay attention.

Regardless of what happened in the stock market yesterday, there are so much good news about the economy that isn’t being reported. The indices are over weighted to global companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook, not companies that are in business to serve Americans and interested in promoting America. Therefore, this trade war will affect them more than our American companies.
We have record low unemployment, companies are making profits, the major key to grow of companies. We have low inflation.
But, even more important, we have the GOD who controls everything and HIS promise to believers is that HE will provide all our needs according to HIS riches in glory in CHRIST JESUS our LORD and SAVIOR. Read Philippians 4:9.

I’m remaining positive, the market may be pulling back but overall the economy and unemployment are strong. My concern is with the Federal Reserve, the rates have been going up too fast when the economy has not normalized.

If a Democrat (Socialist) is elected President in 2020, I expect a recession in 2021, because companies will expect more regulations, higher taxes, increased minimum wage, and changes that affect their health care insurance.

If the liberals/progressives/socialists have their way, they will do every thing they can to make the economy go South. It’s about their power, not the American people.

In politics, just like in comedy, timing is everything. Remember the mini-recession in late 1992? It cost Bush 41 a second term, and it was over before Hilliary picked out her pantsuit for Bill’s inauguration. Trump is risking his 2nd term, with the China trade war. But it’s the right thing to do, as they have been cheating us for 30 years. Besides we can take a little hit while we are riding high. While the economy is always interesting, just watch the Democrats panic as more news of RBG’s declining health is known. I wish her the best, but you know the Dems are planning the sequel to “Weekend at Bernie’s” to avoid a third Trump SCOTUS pick.

We are likely to have a great economic falling out between 2021-2023. It will be because the financial system needs a reset. This will be a worldwide event. It is possible we will see some cost-push inflation. Global cooling could play a role causing food prices to soar.

There may be some ups and downs, but China had to be confronted and dealt with. Trump is the only President that has had the strength of character to bring it to a head and get something done about it. China has been taking advantage of the entire world for far too long and it has to end. And “YES”, I am still voting for Donald J. Trump in November 2020 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “NO” to Socialism and “NO” to Never-Trumpers (it is time get over it and get a life)!!! Trump is the best President we have ever had, Reagan was up there too! God Bless America!

Sometimes, I’m a little bit slow, but now I realize that the Demoncrats DO have a platform. It’s Russia, Collusion, Impeach, Racist, Recession, ad nauseum, and if that’s what you want, vote left, and that’s what you’ll get. Did I mention Open Borders? I know that there are some Republicans that aren’t so hot, but I can’t imagine myself voting for a Demoncrat in the next 100 years or so.
I mean, how long does it take to eradicate the plague of insanity? Or is it even possible?

The Dems create one new scare tactic after another when the previous ones have bombed. They are so jealous that President Trump has brought this economy to such a high, they will sell their souls to try to take it down.
Example: Bill Maher and headlines like ‘Consumers that think the economy is weak will spend less”. Plus all the haters on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, etc. Their animosity for the great economy we have at present under President Trump exudes from their very pores.

Our economy has been and still is strong. But there is weakness in the world, China and Europe in particular, and an international recession will impact us. How much is hard to say. The Democrats and the left-wing media are praying for a recession here at home to help destroy Trump’s reelection effort, and Trump losing would be a disaster to the nation. The trade war with China is a much needed effort to fix a weak and harmful trade policy that has existed for decades, and it’s a war we will win only if we play hardball which this president is doing. China has far more to lose from this war than we do. The pain is temporary. However, China will want to delay any agreement until after the 2020 election knowing if Trump loses, they will win because no Democrat will stand up for us against them. The Democrats hope that talking up a recession will become a self-fulling prophesy and it sadly could. So I responded to the poll question “Don’t know”.

I am an economics professor and I do a good deal of work on public policy issues, especially tax reform.
The effects of Pres. Trumps tax reform has not yet fully kicked in…pro growth…and the scare tactics about the necessary tariff increases should be condemned. They are having and will have little if any effect.

Recessions are artificially, just like economic booms, when more money is printed and rates kept low.

I believe we will prosper. However, we must cut spending and reduce the size of government. To many of the morons in congress have forgotten that they are supposed to be stewards of public monies, not excessive spenders.

Tough question. Will the hoop fold and abandon trump and his policies? Will the media win the propaganda war and sway the election to a group of socialists ? Will the Fed act responsibly? Trump has us on the right track. 2020 elections become more important each day. I am pulling for trump.

Unfortunately the media can spin positives into negatives, blame Trump and the “sheeple” believe it. Markets mostly trade on emotion not real facts so a recession will begin sooner or later.
Our country is beyond recovery due to the dems, msm and lib judges that block any positive American ideals.

Working on my undergrad in the early 80’s, Reagan practically dismantled every economic theory in the text books.. What that era proved is that economics is even more dynamic and cyclical than thought. It is a beast with so many global, moving parts that no one thing can cause a recession. Even back then, psychological behavioral was deemed to be a major component and obviously still is. What Trump is doing with China is long overdue and will eventually correct itself, and for the better.

If 38% expect a recession, that means 62% do not expect a recession. It’s like listening to long-term weather forecasters. If you see water falling from the sky, it’s raining. If you see economy retracting, it’s a recession.

I just a moment ago (August 24 @ 10:18 a.m.) got my AMAC email dated August 23, so I don’t understand this. I don’t wear tin foil on my head, but I do start to wonder if some outside entity is viewing and filtering and delaying certain kinds of my email.

It’s my opinion we should worry less about the left’s idiotic accusations & lies. We need to consentrate on what they are really up to as they do every single thing to devert attention from their own illegal doings. It’s come to the point , every time the left accuses our president of wrong doing, you can bet the left is already guilty of the very thing they accuse President Trump or his administration of.

Trump is all Business, America is safe and will prosper while he is in the cockpit! The concern is America’s future without this Business minded Patriot when ideologues and elitist politicians regain control. That day will spell concern. Today, go live life… Trump is proven and in control!
