Last time in office he gave the very rich big tax breaks and they funded him to do it again. Only way is to eliminate all the many federal workers. And sabotage the benefit system. This is not arbitrary. Pete B on John Stewart’s show explained the logic.
Ta, Robyn. In my oft-misspent youth, I worked in a factory for a week. It was noisy, smelly, ugly, and we didn't have PPE. We were expected to inhale the plastic dust created by filing the nibs from false teeth as they came out of their molds. I did say I lasted a week.
I worked with mostly women whose husbands were members of our armed forces. It was hell.
Maybe someone with a better understanding of economics can answer this but, at a certain point, doesn't making the line go up just mean devaluing the currency?
Yes, I was curious if "Milo @ Nero" is eager to get out there on the factory floor or if he's going to be content with whatever the fuck his "job" is --probably dispensing deep wisdom on Twitter.
Because of DOGE firing thousands of accountant in the IRS it is predicted that the treasury will be short a half-trillion (with a T) dollars. Way to go there DOGE.
Here's an idea: We revolt and then have all the billionaires and obscenely rich people work in those factories while we're redistributing the wealth they've been hoarding for decades.
I will second that. I would like to see some of these toads doing the kind of back-breaking mind-numbing work for peanuts that thousands of white men are clamoring for, according to Milo@Nero.
"I believe this is going to work just like Ronald Reagan believed supply side economics was going to work"
Bwaaahaaahaaaa. Oh my god I literally LOL'ed. Holy shit that is the most honest thing to ever come out of Trump's administration. Yes, this is going to work exactly he way Reagan believed supply side economics would work. The poor would get screwed and the rich would make out like bandits.
I just overheard a conversation today in a small-town Minnesota antique shop. An old timer was telling the store owner that the tariffs were a good thing, that would bring back all those manufacturing jobs that got shipped overseas, and before you knew it, the economy would be humming right along again with all these wonderful low prices like we had before.
The lady who owned the shop was gently trying to remind the old timer that even if that were to happen and factories re-opened, which was a "BIG if," many of the parts they would need to assemble their products were made in China, so where would that leave them?
Well, then those parts would have to be manufactured here! said the old man. Voila! Even more manufacturing jobs! That would be a good thing, having America standing on its own two feet again, instead of depending on the whims of foreigners.
Then the lady asked him if all those new factory workers would be willing to work for $2 - $3 an hour, which wouldn't even put food on the table. The old man claimed that well, both spouses could work, just like people did now. They could manage just fine.
(?!?!?)
Well, they weren't screaming at each other. That was the only positive take-away I had from that. It was a calm, even-toned conversation, but no matter what the lady said, she could not get the old-timer to see the kind of devastation this was going to wreak on the economy.
The GOP has done an outstanding job of selling their bill of goods to an unsophisticated population.
The problems we face are not and have never been cognitively challenging: rational problems for us to puzzle our way through. Indeed the problems we face are not rational at all, and to believe they are is part of the problem, because to believe they are is to believe they are amenable to rational solution
I worked the last 50 years in manufacturing , I would love to see us dominate the world again. That said people seem to forget that when we were making 75% of the new cars in the world it was after WWII and everyone else's factories were bombed flat.

"Excess labor." Sure must feel great to find yourself not only jobless but described like the disgusting yellow goo that liposuction produces.
I guess everybody who works in a factory without any air conditioning in the summer must be lying about how much it sucks ass.
Women have been doing boring, low paid, unsatisfying email jobs since office jobs were invented. But at least there is air conditioning.

"Making things in the image of God the Maker." Holy cow! Mystery solved! God's a door panel! (Wheel well?)

That'll go well for the hundreds of blindies in various call centers & what not

Tucker will quit YouTubing in order to open a ball tanning salon.
Just like real men do.
🤣😂🤣
You mean the ones that mostly aren’t there anymore?
You mean the factories that will be automated 🙃🙃🙃?
“I believe this is going to work just like Ronald Reagan believed supply side economics was going to work,”
Bessent forgot to say "for us billionaires"
And we will continue to pay their taxes for them. God forbid they should fork over one red cent. That would put a crimp in their style.

Kind of a shame Trump's tariffs will close more factories than it opens.
