Trump's Floundering Economy

[georgephillip]

Okay. You go ahead and run on that "floundering" economy. Those record numbers of blacks, women, and Hispanics working will laugh at you. Then again you should be used to it. You get laughed at here every day. As far as who's getting freebies, try using REAL numbers, not percentages. Even if 45% of Mississippi's population gets some form of benefit, that is still a LOT fewer people than 30-35% of California. Funny how reality works like that.

How are those "record numbers..." of workers consistent with a shrinking labor force?

The pros and cons of U.S. unemployment rate falling below 4%

"Smaller labor force. In April, unemployment fell because there were 236,000 fewer people in the labor force, which includes Americans working and looking for jobs.

"That’s not a happy development because a healthy labor market should draw in Americans on the sidelines.

"It would be more encouraging if the unemployment rate fell because more people got jobs.

You should also consider how 10,000 baby boomers retiring every day affect low UE numbers

"Slower economic growth. If businesses can’t find enough workers, they can’t satisfy all of the demand they’re seeing from customers.

"That means they’re not delivering as many products and services as they could, which translates into slower economic growth.

"And slower growth eventually means less hiring.

"'The U.S. labor market has tightened to the point where firms are having tremendous difficulty finding qualified and available workers,' says RSM Chief Economist Joe Brusuelas."

And then there's the ever-rising debt burden Americans are forced to endure that Trump has done nothing to diminish:

Americans are swimming in debt

Are those California recipients living in red or blue counties?

How surprised will you be if the self-proclaimed Economic Savior's main policy achievements are not working out as advertised?

How much more weight will you give these latest shortcomings if they peak just before November, 2020?

Is President Trump's Economy Floundering? | DCReport.org

"The Commerce Department said this week that despite two years of America First-ism, the U.S. merchandise trade deficit is getting worse rather than better.

"After all the fuss about the tax cuts, it turns out that corporations benefited, not workers.

"And while joblessness is at an all-time low, the economy turns out to be churning out many more jobs at the bottom end of the skills market than middle-class jobs.

"Wages still lag, city centers are still rotting, infrastructure projects are still crumbling, public housing is still in trouble.

"Oh and then there is this massive debt resulting from unpaid for tax cuts.

"At the border, the Trump protectionist approach appears to be not working, as the monthly immigration numbers attest."

When will Trump's supporters notice anything he says is just as likely to be a lie as opposed to the truth?

The tax cuts will eventually start to show how you cannopt grow an economy with such a strategy.

Trump was born into the FIRE (finance, insurance, real estate) sector, and most of his income stems from collecting economic (monopoly) rents.

Parasites like Trump naturally regard government as their "piggy-bank" instead of a "fourth factor of production" committed to lowering the costs of living and doing business

Simon Patten on Public Infrastructure and Economic Rent Capture | Michael Hudson

"Reflecting the Progressive Era’s reform agenda Simon Patten (1852–1922) argued that freeing markets from one source of economic rent (by taxing land rent) would merely leave the surplus to be taken by other monopolists and rent extractors (railroads, Wall Street trusts, and basic privatized utilities).

"To prevent unearned income (economic rent) from adding to the economy’s cost of living and doing business, potentially rent-yielding infrastructure should be kept in the public domain as a 'fourth factor of production.' Instead of rentiers making a profit by charging access fees and user fees, the return to public investment should take the form of reducing the economy’s overall price structure."

Trump's MO from the beginning and today, has been to serve himself.

How else could someone be so careless as to tell his rich buddies at Mara Lago that they just got a whole lot richer, and have that slip up get out into the public domain? He just admitted that the tax cuts were for them, not us. In the mean time, those cuts added two trillion dollars to the national debt. Are Trump's cultists that out of touch with reality that they can't see what Trump is doing?

"Familiar parasites in today’s economy include Wall Street’s investment bankers and hedge fund managers who raid companies and empty out their pension reserves; also, landlords who rack-rent their tenants (threatening eviction if unfair and extortionate demands are not met), and monopolists who gouge consumers with prices not warranted by the actual costs of production.

"Commercial banks demand that government treasuries or central banks cover their losses, claiming that their credit-steering activity is necessary to allocate resources and avoid economic dissolution.

"So here again we find the basic rentier demand: 'Your money, or your life.'

"A rentier economy is one in which individuals and entire sectors levy charges for the property and privileges they have obtained, or more often that their ancestors have bequeathed.

"As Honoré de Balzac observed, the greatest fortunes originated from thefts or insider dealings whose details are so lost in the mists of time that they have become legitimized simply by the force of social inertia."

As long as the US functions as a capitalist economy, recessions and depressions are guaranteed to happen regularly, usually about every 7 to 8 eight years.

We had a couple of examples in the 20th Century where government stepped in to provide jobs when the for-profit sector either could not afford to or did not care if one in four US workers was unemployed.

FDR created millions of jobs as part of his New Deal, and when WWII became unavoidable, the US became a command economy virtually overnight.

I guess the big question I have is why didn't Obama nationalize the banks in 2009 instead of bailing out their corporate frauds?

Both Obama's and Trump's economies are largely big, fat, ugly bubbles designed to privatize profits and socialize costs, like farm bankruptcies, declining average life expectancy numbers, and opiate suicides:

Trump's fake economy will be exposed soon enough

"This fall the Federal Reserve Bank in Minneapolis reported that in the upper-Midwest, which includes Wisconsin, farm bankruptcies, are now on the rise at double the rate of failures over the same period between 2013 and 2014.

"The accelerating wealth concentration, which Trump’s $1.5 trillion tax cut only made worse, continues.

"The latest numbers on opioid linked deaths and suicide indicate a worsening crisis that’s linked to a wide and deep national decline evidenced by the reality our average life expectancy has declined for three years in a row for the first time since WW I.

"At the same time the national birthrate has hit a 30-year low.

"In Minnesota, State Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm was quoted in the press identifying a 'lack of social connectedness and opportunity' as a key factor in the increases for suicides and opioid linked deaths in that state."
