Im certainly not chicago and view myself as keynesian but I take it a bit further and believe currency has no value except when used in a transaction. One thing that annoys me is repbulicans love to say how tax cuts will stimulate the economy and raising them will slow it down but when we have an overheated economy and inflation they don’t propose raising taxes as a solution or reducing debt and going further and making rainy day funds. Democrats to really they just don’t push the stimulus side os much either.

although ironically I voted against them. so I am not their ally.

oh yeah. trump winning was way more the dems fault than the republicans /s

just a reminder. interest rates at the end of obamas last term where 3 or 4 percent and not zero the way they were when covid hit. I recall someone on tv complaining a lot about the fed trying to ruin his economy.

To be fair I notice a huge difference when trump was president and it determined how I voted.

thing with the us is no one seems to remember things even a few years back and when you privatize, if done in the proper robber baron way the us does it, you gut the infrastructure value such that early on it can be cheaper as the private sector does not bother to invest into it but run it into the ground and then when its gone to the point they have to repair it the prices skyrocket.

I feel better seeing at least one person posting like I have. Im not the only one.

given the china tarrifs it might be one of those faster than expected thing.

for a bare minimum duty I see many posts prideful of not doing it.
