Economics Thread

Are you saying in just started supporting these types of policies?

People are cheering interest rate caps which I don’t get. Just will lead to less credit extended so think this will be a policy that isn’t extended long term

Because the cheering “people” at this point is largely an army of paid influencers, bots and idiots who don’t understand the economy beyond what the paid influencers and bots tell them about it.

Yeah, the internet sucks now. But it does explain why the same people are cheerleaders for contradictory things.

Trump just ended a communist dictatorship.

Libertarians still saying he is expanding socialism.

Fools

To be fair, so far he’s just changed the reporting chain of a communist dictatorship and stolen some oil.

I thought america first meant focusing on what is happening in America and not other countries

Venezuela not giving oil to the ccp at below market rates while they buy more of our goods isn’t America first?

Says who? Massie?

By thethe’s logic, a president AOC could drone strike Kim Jong Un, and none of her socialist policies would count as socialist because she toppled a communist dictator.

Gets more ridiculous by the day…

Principles actually do matter, though.

When you try to make an equivalency between trumps economic ideologies versus sanders/AOC you’re becoming everything you criticize me about.

regardless of your feelings on Trump the gap between them is massive.

Capping credit companies and banning investors and using tax money to purchase mortgages is just a socialist trying to plan a economy

No different than Mamdani. He is a socialist as I've said for years and worse, he turned a bunch of previous capitalists like into clapping seals in a way Obama or Bernie never could have

Then why does mqt and zito dislike him so
much ? lol

They may get houses cheaper, so you’d think they’d be happy

Because in addition to being left-leaning in many ways, I also have a degree in Economics and recognize the negative externalities of these policies?

So you are anti affordable housing

Zito will be mad

 

[mqt]

You are aware both Obama and Biden wanted Maduro out and I’m sure you voted for them right ?

It’s just kinda rings …. Like you wanna TDS this Issue
So you are anti affordable housing

Zito will be mad

Did Obama and Biden take it upon themselves to use our military to deal with Maduro and then decide we control Venezuela?

And I’m not anti-affordable housing. I don’t think that the actions Trump is taking will actually bring about affordable housing.

By cleaning out illegals immigrants from housing making it available and eliminating corporate holdings of large groups of homes ? And encouraging construction ? Plus Lowering interest rates ?

I’d have to see that math but then again I don’t have a degree in economics

 

[Tapate50]

Seems he’s trying give the American dream of owning a home back to the last generation that’s living off their parents because of the last few years of inflation from Joe

They should be happy that was a major pain point from the last election cycle

 

[thethe]

Damn you for focusing on people having homes.

You want to destroy the economy!

I’m not sure anything is settled in regards to VZ do you? I’m ok not shitting my pants about the outcomes we want 4 years from now not being there today.

I mean it’s been like a week man
