The CBO said the tax cuts will result in an additional $3-4T in debt on top of projected annual budget deficits.

The $3.4T is the "projected" deficit over 10-years, period.

The law will also "increase by 10 million the number of people without health insurance" over the coming decade, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated.

So............when economists point out the demonstrable negative effects of Dotard's tariff idiocy they are Dems? Does that means the economists who pretend there are no negative effects are Repubs?

If you pay attention to earnings reports by major corporations you'd know quite a few CEO's have spoken about uncertainty making them hesitant to invest for the future. And then there are the ones reporting a pullback by consumers.

Jim Cramer says earnings misses at these 3 companies show Trump tariffs are hitting consumers​

Cramer is still on TV? Wow. I prefer listening to folks actually working in the economy, not ones playing it on TV

SO...

Trump just fired the Commissioner of Labor Statistics. He didn't like the ******* jobs numbers. He says they're fake news.

And now that person will be replaced with someone who won't annoy him.

DON'T REPORT BAD NEWS, OR ELSE.

This is true, literal authoritarianism.

==========================

Talk about shooting the messenger.

Thanks for the help.

The report found that the law, which Republicans passed along party lines, will also “increase by 10 million the number of people without health insurance” by 2034.

No American inflation was caused by Bidens massive debt spending and energy polices not policies in lower Slobovia.
The supply chain problem was caused by democrats who shut down their state economies needlessly.

Remember back when New York shut down the economy because of their huge COVID death numbers, while Florida kept theirs open.
Well, it you look at the numbers, Florida has had more COVID deaths than New York. The same thing for Texas and California.

A Johns Hopkins University working paper, published in early 2022, analyzed the effects of lockdowns on COVID-19 mortality and suggested that lockdowns had minimal impact on death rates.
Key findings and criticisms

• Limited effect on mortality: The paper concluded that lockdowns in Europe and the United States reduced COVID-19 mortality by only 0.2% on average.
• Significant economic and social costs: It also highlighted the substantial economic and social costs associated with lockdowns, including rising unemployment, learning loss, and increased domestic violence and drug overdoses.
• Specific NPIs: The study found that closing non-essential businesses, particularly bars, seemed to have some effect in reducing mortality (10.6%), while other measures like school closures and limiting gatherings showed little to no effect or even a slight increase in mortality in some cases.

GOP States that opened their economies faster had better recovery results. The longer the lockdown the more problems were created.

A new University of Michigan-led study shows the lockdowns implemented in the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic saved lives —

The study found that from March through August 2020, implementing widespread lockdowns and other mitigation in the United States potentially saved more lives (866,350 to 1,711,150) than the number of lives potentially lost (57,922 to 245,055) that were attributable to the economic downturn.

Imagine if he fired everyone in the regime who didn't get their facts right? He'd have to fire everyone, including himself.

Tariffs are driving the economy, like Obama's Cash for Clunkers drover the economy.
It front loaded car sales, which ended the recession, but afterwards car sales plummeted.
The economy rushed to get things done before the tariffs cut in.

I have to admit, this surprised me.

This is something a ******* despot does. He is unwell.

One of Hillary's most salient observations was that Dotard is temperamentally unfit to be prez. It was true then, even more so now. His reflexive actions are the opposite of what we should expect from a US prez.

Trump moves nuclear submarines after ex-Russia president’s menacing tweet

Order comes after president’s anger at tweet from Dmitry Medvedev which called Trump’s threat to sanction Russia over Ukraine a ‘step towards war’

www.theguardian.com

Donald Trump has said that he has deployed nuclear-capable submarines to the “appropriate regions” in response to a threatening tweet by Russia’s former president Dmitry Medvedev, suggesting that he would be ready to launch a nuclear strike as tensions rise over the war in Ukraine.

In a post on Truth Social on Friday, Trump wrote that he had decided to reposition the nuclear submarines because of “highly provocative statements” by Medvedev, noting he was now the deputy chairman of Russia’s security council.

We don't let children play with knives. Now we have a 79 year old toddler allowed to play with nuclear weapons.

We are screwed.
