Tiberius Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Quote “President Trump’s efforts to calm investors while he launches a full-scale trade war with China showed signs of cracking Monday, as one of his top advisers admitted the approach could damage the U.S. economy, a Goldman Sachs report predicted it might lead to higher interest rates, and China vowed to impose tariffs on $60 billion in U.S. goods on June 1.” Almost get the feeling that the clown who ran several casinos into the ground is doing the same thing here... https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/05/13/trump-warns-china-not-retaliate-tariffs-insists-they-wont-hurt-us-consumers/?utm_term=.65f247abe6c4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a blind squirrel finds the occasional nut but so far all of this peace and prosperity has to be very frustrating for them!

People tend to forget that the reason the leftists like Tibs cheer for economic collapse is because it is through that collapse they can justify a full government takeover of everything. When you realize you are unable or unwilling to be responsible for your own life, you can find comfort in womb-to-tomb government coddling. The problem for leftists is that their lazy, non-productive, stare-at-the-clock-til-closing-time persona is magnified against a backdrop of intentional productivity. Which probably explains why they whine so much, but especially explains their desire to see the country collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize it's simply a matter of semantics, but you're describing what I call the difference between 'Liberal' and 'Leftist". Being for the most part libertarian-minded, I consider myself to be a reasonably liberal person. By the same token, being mostly libertarian prevents me from being a leftist, in that I support only a very limited role by the feds in the affairs of the citizenry. I know I may come off as being a bit anal with regard to definitions, but the distinction is an important one in my mind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 There are no true liberals still left in America. The ‘liberal’ party has been hijacked by socialists. A true liberal wants the government to stay out of people’s private lives whereas socialists want the government telling everyone how to do everything! I see this as a natural evolution. Since pretty much nothing is illegal anymore, the Left has gotten bored and decided instead to start telling everyone else that they have to agree and comply with their version of freedom.

Since I have always resided in or near the inner cities of New York, it is quite obvious that these leaders have no idea what is happening in these neighborhoods. Help Wanted signs are posted in about every small business which no longer has to suffer the Obamacare mandates. Houses are undergoing renovations for the first time in years.

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (Philly Fed) May 2019 Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey Results from the May Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey suggest continued growth for the region’s manufacturing sector. The survey’s indexes for general activity, shipments, and employment increased from their April readings. The new orders index remained positive but decreased modestly. The survey’s future activity index, after falling in recent months, was little changed, while the firms’ forecast for future employment improved. Current Indicators Suggest Continued Growth The diffusion index for current general activity increased from 8.5 in April to 16.6 this month (see Chart 1). Over 25 percent of the manufacturers reported increases in overall activity this month, while 9 percent reported decreases. The indexes for current shipments and new orders moved in opposite directions this month: The current shipments index increased 9 points, while the new orders index fell 5 points. The current inventories index fell 6 points to its first negative reading in four months. </snip> (NY Fed) Empire State Manufacturing Survey The monthly survey of manufacturers in New York State conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Business activity picked up significantly in New York State, according to firms responding to the May 2019 Empire State Manufacturing Survey. The headline general business conditions index climbed eight points to 17.8, its highest level in six months. New orders and shipments also grew at a faster pace than in recent months. Delivery times held steady, and inventories moved slightly lower. Labor market indicators pointed to small increases in employment and hours worked. Price indexes were little changed, suggesting that prices increased at about the same pace as last month. Indexes assessing the six-month outlook indicated that firms were significantly more optimistic about future conditions than they were in April. </snip> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
