The DOW hit a record high increasing 1200 points in one day blowing the tariff fears all to hell. Trump hating doomsayers who thought Bidens economy was wonderful with 9% inflation and 5.00 dollar gas now look like idiots.

This is what we voted for.

The stock market is not the economy. We bragged about the stock market on Biden's watch. Back then you knew what I'm saying is true because it was your side saying it. What about blue collar workers who don't have 401k's? Very elitist of you Hafar.

You're just being a typical Republican hypocrite who talks out of both sides of your lying face.

Let's stick to the facts

Approximately 58% of U.S. families own stocks, either directly or through retirement accounts, but ownership is heavily concentrated among the wealthy, with the top 10% owning around 93% of all stocks. While 65 million households held equities as of 2023, the bottom 50% own less than 1% of the market.

Dude, people can't afford to buy stocks. Remember you said they were struggling on Biden's watch? Well now Trump has cost the average American an ADDITIONAL $1000. The same people you claimed to care about in 2024, you fucked in 2025 and 2026. Good luck in the midterms with that bullshit.

You are right. Look how good the stock market did under Biden

From 2019 to 2022, the median net worth of American families jumped 37% to $192,900, after adjusting for inflation. It’s the largest increase ever recorded by the federal Survey of Consumer Finances, released last fall. Surging home values and rising stock ownership fed the surge.

The fact is, Trump fucked the 50% of Americans who only own 1% of all stocks. He said he was going to make America more affordable. Now we hear that tariffs have cost each of those families at least $1000 a year. So if you think they were struggling under Biden, boy are they struggling now.

The market has done better under Trump

And in fact under xiden after four years for the first time ever a majority of Americans were worse off… Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than Four Years Ago

Net worth, adjusted for inflation was 4.7 less

Families are making more money today and keeping more of their earnings under Trump. 1k in tariffs, compared to keeping more in income taxes and making more…not even a question we are better off

I have no idea what you are talking about and neither do you.

The stock market has done well and inflation is no higher than it was when Biden left office despite tariffs. Foreign exporters and manufacturers are bearing some of the tariff burden. Same inflation with billions in tariffs is a win. Your media doesn't tell you that.

Horseshit.

Record high energy prices
Record high insurance
Record high gas prices
Record high food prices, especially eggs
Record high new and used car prices
Record high interest rates

All under Biden and caused by Obama.

• Cradle-to-grave welfare is not the Economy
• Failed Green Energy while simultaneously punishing Domestic energy companies is not the Economy.
• Rewarding illegal aliens with welfare for breaking the law is not the economy.

Prove this wrong.

Endless regulations drove Valero Energy out of CA. Gas prices crossed the $5 mark. Imagine if Newsom is elected. That mofo is trying to save face by buying gas from the Bahamas instead of US oil companies.

Where was this meme during Bidenomics?

When we said the stock market was doing great under Biden you guys said what about people who don't own stock. You've changed not us.

Biden wasn't responsible for global inflation. So you are a joke. Your entire premise is flawed because you are blaming Biden for what happened.

And what did Biden do? He certainly didn't tariff everyone which cost each of us over $1000 more than what we were paying under Biden. Do you understand that you ******* notsee? Can you not see it?

President Biden aimed to fight inflation primarily through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, which focused on reducing the federal deficit, lowering prescription drug costs for Medicare (including $35 insulin), and investing in clean energy manufacturing. Additional measures included promoting domestic supply chains, releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and targeting corporate practices like "shrinkflation"

AND,

The Biden-Harris administration has been widely described as one of the most pro-union in U.S. history, focusing on strengthening collective bargaining, increasing union membership, and protecting pensions. Key actions included appointing pro-labor NLRB members, supporting organizing efforts, and passing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to create union jobs.

Blue collar did well under Biden. So did the rich. That's the difference you shit head

2023 was a historic year for labor action, with nearly 350 strikes involving over 500,000 workers, the highest volume in two decades. Major actions included the UAW "Stand Up" strike against Detroit’s Big Three, the SAG-AFTRA/WGA Hollywood strikes, and large-scale healthcare walkouts, resulting in significant wage gains.

The DOW under Biden was driven buy debt based government spending which caused inflation that killed the middle class. Wealthy investors like me made money at their expense.

Approximately 62% of American adults own stock, a figure that includes both direct ownership and indirect holdings through 401(k)s, IRAs, or mutual funds. This represents a historically high level of participation, with roughly 150 to 168 million people in the U.S. having exposure to the stock market.

Small furniture retailers face existential tariff threat, regardless of Supreme Court ruling

As retailers await a decision from the Supreme Court on the future of tariffs, small furniture businesses will see little relief as upholstery duties remain.

www.cnbc.com

Small furniture retailers face existential tariff threat, regardless of Supreme Court ruling​

Key Points

• The Supreme Court could make a decision on President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” as soon as this week, but new duties on upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets and vanities will remain in place regardless of the ruling.
• Higher costs on imports is the latest blow to the furniture industry, which had been buckling under high interest rates and a sluggish housing market well before tariffs came into the picture.
• Small businesses are feeling the impact most acutely while larger retailers have been taking market share.

How did $369B for the EPA and $80B to the IRS for 87,000 new agents serve to drive down Inflation as part of the IRA of 2022?

The 2022 IRA did everything but reduce inflation - it exacerbated inflation. It was one of the largest spends in history.
