MAGA: Losing Money Means Nothing

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Here is the issue in the bigger picture. What Trump is doing is pushing every other country to deal among themselves which leaves us far more isolated. You may see this as a good thing but more and more it will not be.

It gives China the perfect opportunity to step in.

The dollar is collapsing.

Nope. If we keep borrowing it will.

What I do is 100% irrelevant. What I will do matters none. I stated the issue.

We aren't going to stop. It's why Trump wants lower interest rates.

They will step in if we do not improve ourselves. And frankly they may do it anyway. Tey have people smarter than us working in factories that existed a century ago in our nation. We are fat slobs. Obese to the max. Under educated in many ways of respect.

Not true.

We are getting close to the fiscal cliff of the dollar collapsing, but being replaced by what? Nothing looks workable.
Someone said $40T in Debt is the tipping point.
Powell said tariffs are going to be inflationary, so no lowering rates. Bond rates are dropping.
The Senate Budget looks bad $7T for tax cuts over 10-years and not enough offsets.

Not true.

Walk outside.

We went from "Expensive eggs are a national crisis!" to "Losing money costs you nothing" really fast. I'm sure this will be a winning message for the Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.

your greed is showing,,

life is less about money in your pocket and more about security for future generations,,

Trump will continue crushing until rates are dropped.

Remember back when Trump called for negative interest rates (which would have been incredibly stupid) and the Fed and nearly everyone else dismissed the idea?

Well Trump doesn't take to being laughed at so now he thinks he can get back at those who laughed at him.

Even MAGA is going to jump ship.

Technically, that would be LMMN, not MAGA.

And we all have noticed that you are not known for proving your "statement" of any issue.

And yet I've noted China's growing influence and if you think I have to prove that, well...........you just aren't paying attention.

Funny how you guys love Wall Street all of a sudden.

Stolen 2020 has consequences. 4 years wasted with trillions more stolen or wasted.

Trump's trade fixes would already be cemented. Probably would have went more smoothly in 2021 or so?

DOGE-Trump would have had deficit spending gone by 2023. But they have little time left now to implement what was needed in 2022 or earlier (like the 90s').

Deep state has nearly destroyed America and little hope remains.

Rates will drop 2x or 3x this year, but not until the fall.
MAGA and Republicans are playing along with Trump's tariffs until we see who wants a trade war and who wants to drop their tariffs. Trump is one stubborn SOB, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

He's just making the point that stock markets go up and down in cycles, but very big very important events may be catastrophic. If Kamala won the US would have been over because the dollar would have collapsed and the open borders would have turned the US into the EU.

If you have a stock that went from $100 in value down to $80 in value and you still own it...... You've lost nothing. Zero.

If you're in a Mutual Fund, the same reasoning applies. You don't lose or gain money until you sell the stock/fund. Some people, like in Variable Annuities are losing money. My opinion -- A product I wouldn't own anyway. Never annuitze your pension or 401k. Or inheritance, or settlement unless there are dire circumstances. It should be done as an almost last resort, in my opinion

The low rates is what helped cause the inflation. But they give politicians an excuse for debt, debt, debt.

Then we will hear how great and beautiful debt is.

If numb-nutz doesn't cut the rate in May, we risk a recession and stagflation, IMO
