you need some schooling on basic economics.TinFoilHatPreacherBear said:
Inflation is how the wealthy keeps paying a $40,000/yr worker near that same $40,000 forever, just the illusion of increases via pay raises in inflated dollars.
Over the the last 4 years, the average Joe's salaries are just not keeping up. Will be a long long while before their salaries can catch up to the recent inflation.

Considering I've had a considerable amount of schoolimg exactly in macro, micro, international economics, which part does your rather limited intellect not understand?
I work in finance for small businesses and I can concur that it's certainly true what you say about certain industries. They are doing very small raises for their workers but nothing to keep up with inflation. Meanwhile they've taken PPP, EIDL loans and ERTC credits and lined their pockets, along with raising their prices to keep up with inflation.TinFoilHatPreacherBear said:J.R. said:you need some schooling on basic economics.TinFoilHatPreacherBear said:

The owners have done very well while the workers are hurting.
I had a small Amazon side business where I made about $35k in revenue per year. I could have gotten a PPP loan of $40k that would have been 100% forgiven if I wanted. I decided against it, just didn't seem right.
Too bad more businessmen, and especially politicians, don't have that level of integrity.
Ok....let's pay down that principal by $10 billion...

JR always quick to say he's an expert and everyone else an idiot without ever giving much facts.
He's consistent at lying though.

Your arguments rarely indicate that you know much of anything. Based on your arguments, you rank just above the perinneal last place W47 and just below Mitch. Needless to say, that's not a very good spot to hold. Please do better with your education, whatever you claim that is.

The numbers are moving faster than the scoreboard with a Briles offense.
But if you want to really need a change of underwear, take a look at the unfunded liabilities. 4x the national debt.
Default is coming. If you think medicare is going to be around for you like it was for the boomers, think again.

One of Trump's "fiscal conservative plans" has proven absolutely to be a disaster like many of his thoughts on the economy.boognish_bear said:

His administration gave us the 20 year bond that is piling on to our interest debt.
Since the Treasury (Mnuchin) re-introduced the 20 year bond in monthly auctions 4 years ago, their sale has tacked on $2 billion a year in interest expense on top of what the government would have otherwise paid.
That's an additional $40 billion over the life so now Mnuchin has called to end the aution of 20 year bonds.

There are no real fiscal conservatives left. They can't get or stay elected. You cannot compete with "free everything for everyone!"
"We are going to have to tax more and spend less" is a losing platform and everyone has figured that out.

I think it bothers you knowing that no one here thinks you're as smart as you do. Your posts are just bad and illogical. You are schooled regularly by everyone here. Being wrong is your super power.
If it wasn't for your ability to form a complete sentence, I'd assume you were a W47 sock.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I caught most of the debate tonight… But not 100% of it.
I did not see any questions to the candidates about the national debt. Did that happen?

More and more it seems like we talk about $trillions like not all that long ago we talked about $billions. And yes, the average person can't wrap their head around how much money $1 trillion dollars is, let alone 35 times that number.
That said if you want to watch it go to $70 trillion in the next 4 years then vote for Kamala and give her dim majorities in both the House and Senate.
Trump outspent Obama. Are you saying he won't outspend Biden?

Goes up another trillion every 100 days.
It's simply not sustainable.

Too many campaign promises have been made.
Besides every politician knows that to do what's needed to the balance the budget would result in their party getting voted out of office.
