This one is the "are you better off" question
Of note from my perspective is the opinion of the independents

Besides the hotness factor, I like seeing him have people loyal to him return, people who are on board and believe in the policies going forward. He needs people he can trust around him through this next election.

Along these same lines, Mandy Gunasekara will be returning to the EPA

These numbers show a real strength for Trump. If the economy holds up until November, Trump should win handily with a republican majority.
 
Reagan has Volker hold interest rates high in order to allow weak companies to fail and the economy adjust to economic reality.

Obama had Bernanke reduce interest rates ever further and hold it for 10 years.

Trump is doing the same thing as Obama unfortunately.

I lived through that. There was a lot going on. You cant really take it all in without a good hard look at the 1970s, which were brutal for the US economy (and which actually began in the late 1960s). It eventually swallowed Texas whole too (was beyond rough). The revival took both Volcker's resolve and Reagan's changes.

If Trump pulls that off this year, I won't vote Libertarian. I will vote Trump proudly.

I wonder which bar Deez would organize the meeting at. :hookem:

In the 1970s, the US ended the Bretton Woods agreement that ended the gold reserve standard to turn the $ into a true fiat currency. That allowed low interest rates and huge money supply growth. It killed the economy. Carter started out going along with the same program.

Then at the end he had Volker raise the Fed rate to help the economy restabilize. It cost him the election. Thank God, Reagan continued Volker's/Carter's monetary policy. It was the correct one and lead to the 80s. Trump ain't on the same train.
 
Just wanted to add a graph showing how closely linked productivity is to labor rates. There was some discussion on this or another thread about what causes wages to improve. Negotiation and competition is part of the process, but the determining factor is labor productivity. Labor productivity is increased through better tools, mass production, and automation. For the trend below to continue we are going to need more of the same and AI.

And political dorks like us are exactly what she's looking for. Lol.



It would be a little like this.

I do understand somewhat, yes. Back in the day, there was a girl involved in our group who had been a model as a preteen, so she was a pretty girl (though not as stunning as Hope Hicks). However, she also "blossomed" very, very nicely - probably wore a 34DD, and she almost always showed cleavage. It wasn't enough to say she looked like a skank (and she actually wasn't), but it was enough to attract plenty of attention. Basically, all the hormone-raging dorks drooled over her all the time.

And I was one of the lucky ones. No, I didn't get to go there or get to touch anything, but I was one of the few present the night she drank too much at a pool party and took her top off. I saw "the goods," and it was pretty much life-changing.

Didn't happen unless you have pics
 
The free money is the problem itself not a side issue or a solution. Every bank run, recession, and depression has been preceded by free money of some sort.
