B-Man Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 With nothing to sell to voters, Democrats now root for economic crash By Monica Showalter With nothing to sell to voters, Democrats have been going off with pop guns against each other in this long season of debates, each taking aim at the next guy while President Trump stands by in the distance. patiently with his Howitzer, nicknamed 'Economy.' That's put them in a quandary. Some, such as Pete Buttigieg, are trying to claim the economy isn't so good after all. Others, such as Bernie Sanders, are trying to claim that as the economy goes up, wages remain stagnant, so only billionaires are feeling it. Then there's President Obama, who from the sidelines admits the economy is good -- and at this late date now tries to claim that he did it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Slightly off-topic Buffalo & Rochester metro areas again finish last in WSJ's US job market analysis. Quote The two hottest U.S. job markets in 2019 were growing Southern state capitals with vibrant music scenes and an influx of technology jobs. Austin, Texas, topped the list for the second consecutive year, according to a Wall Street Journal ranking of new data collected by Moody’s Analytics. Nashville, Tenn., jumped to the No. 2 spot from seventh. Both cities anchor metropolitan areas of around two million people. The Journal worked with Moody’s Analytics to assess the labor market in 381 metro areas. Each region was ranked on five metrics: the unemployment rate, labor-force participation rate, job growth, labor-force growth and wage growth. An average of those rankings was used to determine the hottest labor market in the U.S. for metro areas with more than one million people, and separately for less populous regions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Market Meltdown today! My God! This thing, this virus, is a sh it. If this continues it will hurt Trump badly. 401ks getting crap knocked out of them today. It's really because of his tariff war, though. The economy could have shrugged this off if it was just this. Throw in a stupid, useless trade war and its all too much. Sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Quote “We’ve contained the virus very well here in the U.S.,” Mr. Kudlow said, adding, “I don’t think it’s going to be an economic tragedy at all.” ? The coronavirus could affect the United States economy in several ways. If supply chains are disrupted by quarantines in trading partners, there could be a short-term hit to production and growth. If the spreading virus makes investors skittish and causes a protracted market slump, that could feed through to credit conditions, making it harder for households to borrow and spend. If more infections come to American shores, prompting quarantines, the fallout would be even more pronounced. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/25/business/economy/fed-coronavirus-economy.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
