Tiberius Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 No surprise, the guy who bankrupted casinos is screwing up the US economy CNBC reports: “Federal Reserve members worried over future growth are highly concerned about the U.S.-China tariff battle, citing the issue multiple times during discussions at the central bank’s July meeting. Members spoke about trade on multiple occasions, saying it was one of the chief headwinds for the economy, according to meeting minutes released Wednesday.” And I thought the Trump tax cut was going to spur business investment? (“Tariffs and generally slower economic conditions combined ‘could have significant negative effects on the U.S. economy’ while a softness in business investment was ‘pointing to the possibility of a more substantial slowing in economic growth than the staff projected.’” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madeline is a good HR tech analyst and she is not as easily bought as Garner, Averbrook, and Bersin etc by HR Tech companies..so her research i tend to trust more than the big guys in this space. Will update I would like to read the report when it comes out. I think 33% is a tad high (I don't know anyone, of any age, that works two jobs right now, but I am just one person). It would be interesting to see the final report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell us again the media's agenda is truth. (They're control for the establishment, nothing more.) Hold on..are you saying that 1) Trump saying his trade policies could cause a short recession is a media campaign? 2) Trump saying he was considering further payroll tax cuts was a media campaign? 3) the CBO budget numbers saying the deficit is exploding is a media campaign? 4) the BEA's GDP numbers are a media campaign? 5) The Federal Reserve in claiming manufacturing is slowing down and in a a technical recession is cooking the books for the medias purposes https://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-industrial-production-slumps-in-second-quarter-2019-07-16 6) The stock market being sideways for two years are made up numbers form the media..stocks really are higher they just not reporting it? I mean damn DR, i know you like to claim you are not a Trump guy, but to claim Trump did not say what he said, and the numbers are the economy are somehow made up to hurt Trump is not a stretch, its freaking delusional no? Can there ever be an admission on your part tha not t EVERYTHING is nirvanna now that Trump is POTUS? We may or may not enter a recession, and one can argue exploding deficits and MMT and the effects etc, but to claim economic numbers are a made up media campaign against Trump??? as they used to say on ESPN...CMOn Man!!!!

Trump didn't do anything extraordinary, other than pick the low hanging economic fruit that the Obama Summers of Recovery ©️™️ failed to deliver. It wasn't long ago that we were told to get used to perpetual sub 3.0% GDP growth rates and swooning labor participation rates of an aging country. Funny how the narrative changed. The context is that the most tepid recovery after a recession was running out of steam by 2016, and the renewed expansion was due to nothing more than allowing the private sector to do what it does best. To borrow a phrase, the government didn't build it. 12 minutes ago, meazza said: I wouldn't say that the fact that a recession is on the horizon is without evidence.

What I'm saying is you're witnessing (yet another) influence campaign designed to sow fear, division, and to "get Trump". When the recession hits, we can talk. Until then, the sudden turn to 11 in volume on this issue is tied directly to the media's failure to make Trump/Russia stick or Trump=Racist stick in the minds of voters. ....Voters. Not readers. Not citizens. Their goal is not to inform or pursue truth. It's to control your mind. Stop letting them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a “big boy” thread. You should stick to your lane. There are accumulating signs that the growth we’ve been experiencing is slowing. It’s not a conspiracy. It is numbers. For others, do you share the concerns that except for reducing tariffs, there may be fewer options to veer out of a recession when it comes? (Bernie’s 4T gem of a green plan couldn’t have come out at a better time. Hopefully the economy is still front and center when all these BS free tuition free everything plans get debated.)
