Reminds me what the polls told us about 2022 midterm elections.  What it reminds you of is not a concern. The numbers are the numbers. If you think they're wrong or the methodology is defective, please explain.

It's fine to say that that's not sustainable, that the economy is overheated and will inevitably result in a correction/recession, etc. But think about what that means: it means that the economy is strong now. It means that the Biden economy is strong. Why can't you admit that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't you admit that? Its so strong the poor, middle and fixed are suffering.  but the investor class is doing great.  If it's so strong, the fed would be talking about raising rates. Not cutting 2-3 times this year.      Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't you admit that? A country's currency does not lose 20% of its value in a growth cycle unless that growth is purely of a nominal nature fueled by inflation. Add in massive government spending and deficits to fuel consumption and social assistance that provide little to no long term value and I think that's what we've got here. You can't borrow yourself to prosperity while digging your own financial grave by carrying massive debts which have become your biggest recurring expense.  Edited March 27 by All_Pro_Bills 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the dollar has tanked vs. the Chinese yuan during the Biden presidency, right? Wrong. Up about 12% vs. the yuan in the last 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 And Japan must be kicking the dollar's ass too. I keep reading about their economic recovery. No. https://www.wsj.com/finance/currencies/yen-hits-34-year-low-as-hopes-for-boj-rate-increases-fade-d3d0da2d?mod=hp_lead_pos3 Â If anything, all of this suggests the dollar is too strong, making imports cheaper. Devaluing the dollar would fix that, but that typically means keeping interest rates low or even lowering them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer a comparison monetary authorities reference which is a currency vs. spot gold which is hovering around $2,200/oz at the moment. Central banks have been loading up on the metal for a couple years now and that gives a clue as to where they see value and safety in allocating their reserves.

True. Their are mixed signals in the markets since gold is typically just a hedge against inflation. But my point is that relative to basically all other world economies, the U.S. finds itself in first place. That ain't nuthin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Biden will say how he helped increase min wages. Another fake win for the libs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
