The US is staring down a do-or-die moment. It’s this close to a total economic and financial failure, thanks to the Democrats’ wild spending and debt addiction, plus jacked-up global trade deals that keep the US bleeding cash with long-term, unsustainable trade deficits.
No way it could keep rollin’ like this forever. The longer it went on, the more painful the cure.
It was either let the US as we know it crash and burn, or pull back on the government debt and trade gaps.
Trump’s stepping up to save the day.
The Dems were basically committing big-time treason, and they need to pay for it.
It's realy sad that you believe the things you just typed. I could refute every single one of them, but you don't strike me as someone who would change his point of view when confronted with inconvenient facts. That said, I'll go ahead and mention a few anyway:
The hole that Trump blew in the budget was far more than anyone before or since. Trump added over 8 trillion to the debt, almost double the amount Biden added.
https://thehill.com/business/4736740-trump-biden-fiscal-policy-deficit/
The economy under Biden was solid. Inflation spiked to be sure, but was back down to around 3% when he left. Stocks performed very well. Our markets now range from "correction" to "bear" status.
The Democrats are guilty of treason, but the guy who incited a violent mob to overturn an election is America's best hope?
btw, my first post on here was me hoping that Australians never succumb to the brain virus that has led the US to where we are. Your post makes me wonder if that can be avoided.
Be interesting to see where all the stock market investment money ends up after the fire sale.
Could it be moving away from companies that have invested in manufacturing in China ( nearly everyone) and into new American manufacturing startups.
The factories are still all there….and so now is the money….just need renovating and re visioning…..even the unions are all on trumps side.
The people need to believe in themselves again and work through the painful bit.
They were about to go under big time and can’t keep living on the brink of total economic government shutdown at least once a year.
Like it or not….painful or not….outrageous or not ….something had to give.

He is very sensitive to negativity. Can't seem him lasting until 2028. The disaster he has created will lose him to much support. Taking the tariffs back will undermine anything else he wants to do. The tariffs were supposed to bring in trillions that will enable tax cuts for the rich but they will most likely have lost much more with crashing markets and it will probably be unlikely that any bill supporting said tax cuts will get through the senate. Trump support is not what it was a week ago.
Fellow Seppo here Esco, and your thoughts in regards to the root causes of what led to Trump are spot on. I think I started to post on here a few months ago about Rush Limbaugh, but thought it would be hard to explain the impact he had. Which then led to Newt Gingrich and on and on.
Yesterday I had a mechanic at my business working on some machinery. He listened to right wing radio as he worked. When he finished, we talked about the impact of the new tariffs on the stock market and economy. Because it was what he'd been fed all day he said "We're in for a really rough year or two, and then things will get back on track." Nice guy, but like so many Americans, he was instantly brainwashed by what the radio hosts told him, whereas 3 months ago, he would have been predicting economic Nirvana from day one of Trump's presidency. It's mind blowing.
Hey at Mick66
We have similarities here in Australia, with Radio 2 GB and 2UE , spreading their propaganda across rural areas who have limited choices ,and mechanics etc listening to it all day . We had some painters painting our units in rural NSW , and they had it on all day
with Ray Hadley becoming their best mate.
But we don’t get many overt flag owners or sticker car guys at the beach yet , which is a good thing.
Here it felt like it didn't happen all at once. More like the line about how things go "Slowly, slowly. Then all at once."
And as mentioned, this isn't about conservatism (in the US.) There are positives about different idealogies and political parties that keep each other from going too far in one direction or another.
This is about radicalism. Tribalism. Us vs. them. Emotional rather than rational
Hopefully it doesn't progress (regress?) to that point in Australia.

Go to the top of the class, Opti.
By all means have your say but can you please fuck off with the condescending bullshit!
Look dude nobody really knows if trumps plan will work or not, you are going to get all kinds of views and opinions even from so called experts and even these so called expert's are wrong a lot of the time, great example was all these experts saying Covid was going to see a recession and the housing market collapse and then the exact opposite happened with housing prices going crazy.
But to say Trump has no plan and is making it up as he goes is just complete bullshit, you are just blinded by your bad case of Trump derangement syndrome.
He clearly has a plan that takes in many different aspects not just the economy, but a bigger picture of USA and it's relationship to the rest of the world, but again will that plan work, look we will have to wait and see.
BTW. Yeah i only have a basic understanding of economics, but i do know that shit you support like catching fish in one country and sending it to another to be processed only to be sent back to the country caught in to be sold, is just plain fucking stupid and could be prevented with basic targeted tariffs, and i also know that the course that the USA and other Western countries are on of racking up huge debt and spending more than they gain in tax revenue is stupid, or that relying on China for so much things including things we cant go without especially in a time of war, while also saying we might get involved in a war with China one day is also stupid.
Went to a new property to do some work for a bloke a few days ago.
As i was chatting to him, convo turned to the inevitable Trump.
He gleefully pointed to his cap which i'd somehow overlooked, and there it was....
MAGA. I stood there with thoughts spinning through my head. Do i punch him in the face (can't do that), laugh in his face and look for the fastest exit...can do that, so laughed a snorting belittling kinda laugh, began initiating heel pressure to swivel and leave, before he pointed at it again with a cheeky look in his eye. In small letters under it was written 'Make America Go Away" with a Canadian flag embedded in the MAGA font. Bloody legend! See, his wifes Canadian. ;-)
Apologies to all the US correspondents on here.....it's aimed at Trumps mob, not you lot.

Trump act like he knows some US history. He apparently is very fond of William McKinley who enacted heavy tariffs when he was president (while at the same time severely hurting the consumer), went all manifest destiny and acquired multiple island nations (which trump desires), and was eventually assassinated by an immigrant (some Americans wish this). Tariffs were once again tried by President Hoover at the onset of the Great Depression. They succeeded in other countries raising tariffs against the US, The cost of domestic goods going up, consumers not buying said goods, workers being laid off, resulting in even less consumer activity, and more layoffs, and the downward spiral the GD became. No trump doesn't have a plan, He doesn't read. He just is winging it based on a flawed belief backed by no successful historical precedent. This, along with the myth of trickle down economics is what trump (4.5 trillion tax cut for the rich) is all about. It's been over a hundred years since trickle down economics was first thought up by the wealthy, brought into the limelight under Reagan and failed and is now proposed for the second time by trump and still has never worked.
hey @info, as the grandson of a man who you recently said had PTSD as a the result of his forced labour during the German (Nazi) occupation of his native Holland what in the fuck don’t you understand of what Trump has done politically to the US? Seriously man, if you are still lucky enough to have any of that generation of your family alive or even your parents’ generation reach out to them and ask them their thoughts on how Trump and his ilk have lurched the US to the fascist far right … and to think that there are 10s of thousands of American troops buried throughout Europe who died fighting the Nazis.

@indo
How could Trump have a plan, when he picks the most incompetent,unqualified cabinet possible,
whose dumb mistakes are impossible to predict what they will be, and when and where they happen,
And his on again off again tariffs, depending on the wind direction and who says what and what other countries might respond.
And what the Courts will rule against his illegal unconstitutional executive orders.
If Trump did have a plan , it’s been changed many times ???
Don’t worry, it’s not the tariffs. It’s deepseek, ai… The market is only down because of tech, it’s got nothing to do with maga, isolationism, tariffs…They’ll spin this story in no time.

interesting that this guy even became the don's secretary to the treasury
apparently he's an old school hard core keynesian...
maybe just maybe, trump does plan to pump all the money back into america... to MAAA... make america acceptable again... for the inhabitants...
another old school democrat, ...yet another!!!, ...philanthropist, highly qualified (hello jeffy), and perhaps most interestingly... used to be a boss of the soros foundation...
but then heavily donated to trump campaign, read into that what you will...
because I will
anyway, a bit ridiculous all these claims these people have no idea what they're doing, they're highly qualified, experienced, connected, and seemingly highly motivated to save the place before it's too late...
because the democrats were doing nothing... beyond pumping the printing presses...
again
yeh it's wild, yeh its disrupting, disturbing, dangerous... yeh it's reckless...
but clearly a load of people thought the alternative was slow suicide

I actually reckon this sort of action along with the bizarre group chat which leaked secret military plans to the outside journo, along with no doubt more pissing off the military as a whole, is going to lead him and his regime straight towards a hostile military takeover/coup. It's inevitable. Someone does need to stop him, he's burning bridges daily, hourly actually, distanced himself and America from all long standing allies and close ties, and now, he's stepping on the toes of the military.
Maybe unlikely, but the fact i'm even thinking about that as a possibility, shows how destructive his short reign has been and the effect it's having on global politics and the economy.
Can't imagine the heads of the military would be all too stoked with the closer alignment with long time adversaries either.

I have a relly who is a conservative politics writer/commentator/lecturer. This arvo we had a chat about some of the current theories about trump's master economic plan. He had no particularly negative views on Trump till the Zelenskyy thing, and now he's just appalled daily. He let out a sigh at one point during our chat and said that he thinks everyone is massively overestimating Trump's capacity, that Trump bluffed his way adequately though relatively unsuccessfully through corporate real estate, but this shit is well beyond him.. he ended saying 'if you look at a spider having a fit for long enough, I'm sure you can convince yourself that you understand what it's trying to do.'
which I though was just wonderful.

The Dems turned the stock market, housing prices, crypto—everything—into a monster pump-and-dump Ponzi scam with all that government dough and borrowing, pushing the US right to the edge of an economic and financial collapse.
The US is staring down a do-or-die moment. It’s this close to a total economic and financial failure, thanks to the Democrats’ wild spending and debt addiction, plus jacked-up global trade deals that keep the US bleeding cash with long-term, unsustainable trade deficits.
No way it could keep rollin’ like this forever. The longer it went on, the more painful the cure.
It was either let the US as we know it crash and burn, or pull back on the government debt and trade gaps.
Trump’s stepping up to save the day.
The Dems were basically committing big-time treason, and they need to pay for it.
100% agree.
You two should try and make contact with reality.
It’s like the economic illiterate leading the economic illiterate

Could it be moving away from companies that have invested in manufacturing in China ( nearly everyone) and into new American manufacturing startups.
The factories are still all there….and so now is the money….just need renovating and re visioning…..even the unions are all on trumps side.
The people need to believe in themselves again and work through the painful bit.
They were about to go under big time and can’t keep living on the brink of total economic government shutdown at least once a year.
Like it or not….painful or not….outrageous or not ….something had to give.Wow. I never thought SN would have someone dumber in basic economics than Indo.
Go to the top of the class, Opti.By all means have your say but can you please fuck off with the condescending bullshit!
Look dude nobody really knows if trumps plan will work or not, you are going to get all kinds of views and opinions even from so called experts and even these so called expert's are wrong a lot of the time, great example was all these experts saying Covid was going to see a recession and the housing market collapse and then the exact opposite happened with housing prices going crazy.
But to say Trump has no plan and is making it up as he goes is just complete bullshit, you are just blinded by your bad case of Trump derangement syndrome.
He clearly has a plan that takes in many different aspects not just the economy, but a bigger picture of USA and it's relationship to the rest of the world, but again will that plan work, look we will have to wait and see.
BTW. Yeah i only have a basic understanding of economics, but i do know that shit you support like catching fish in one country and sending it to another to be processed only to be sent back to the country caught in to be sold, is just plain fucking stupid and could be prevented with basic targeted tariffs, and i also know that the course that the USA and other Western countries are on of racking up huge debt and spending more than they gain in tax revenue is stupid, or that relying on China for so much things including things we cant go without especially in a time of war, while also saying we might get involved in a war with China one day is also stupid.
The cretin who pays out on someone for their “shitty” taxi driver job has a go at someone for being condescending…..
Go play on the freeway oxygen thief……
Mate i dont know who you are, i expect either a doubled up profile or some serial pest like Facto, but all you ever seem to do is troll me.
So how about you fuck right off back into your hole.

It way more complicated than that USA doesn't want to push Russia further into China or Iran's arms either.
