Economics Thread

[thethe]

I can assure you of one thing: if sturg has any economic blind spots, it’s certainly not similar to that of a leftist economic policy.

His economic policies is definitely not leftist. But it’s essentially the radical opposite of it where he inevitably doesn’t care about those that can’t keep up.

Maybe he does care in his mind but the results of his policy prescriptions says otherwise in practice.

What does Trump have to gain from sending signals to calm markets?

Hmm - that’s a tough one.

Markets he un-calmed in the first place with the exact policies you’re claiming are working.

 

[thethe]

But he chooses the fucking process, and the only “results” right now are a market teetering on the edge of collapse being put on life support for 90 days.

You don’t like the process.

That’s on you. But the process is producing the desired response.

Short term fluctuations are just short term fluctuations. That’s what I was reliably told. Seems like he’d have more to gain by telling the American people - and the markets - the truth.

Your economic polices have a massive blind spot. Like most L policies.

Fine but they have nothing to do with TDS or RDS so you can abandon that talk track

I thought we were screwing wall street and the laptop class finally!

Nobody said to screw then. But you go ahead and invent things becuse your arguments are so shallow.

His thesis appears to be that it’s the people that can’t keep up (working families and small business owners) that are least equipped to have this nuclear weapon of a trade policy hit them.

I don’t think the president of the United States should always tell the world the truth. Think that’s elyet another naiive position you hold.

To not let people have money?

Yes becuse sturg totally believes in experts and academics now.

But yuan devaluation / lower inflation and energy costs / tax reform will result in essentially zero net increase to costs to the American family.

Oh, we’ve reach the “we should lie to our trade partners about trade” portion of the process.

Your fervent trashing of everything Trump has absolutely everything to do with it.

Even in an instance where only an idiot wouldn’t see what the plan is! LMAO

What are you talking about? That is not what aces and I are discussing

I’ll wait for you to blindly believe trumps next quote.

I’ll wait for the world’s preeminent Trump translator to just tell me when to believe him. Why guess?

I don't need a a modern day 2025 expert and academic to tell me that massive tax hikes is bad for consumers. Particularly poor and middle class ones.

Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell are experts who share this worldview of mine. The horror!

Who is right on this one, Navarro or Musk?

I'll never tell you when to believe anything only that Trump is very deliberate about things he says and does.

Thats why the end results of what he does are usually good while people cry about the process.

Hey man - You are in the academics corner now. Own it. And then when the results are not what you expect you'll have time to reflect how you got it so wrong.

As usual its somewhere in the middle between those two. Love both so I will listne to both positions.

Unlike you my critical thinking, beliefs, principles do not change because another man doesn't agree with them

I'm quite fine trashing Trump for being retarded.

Pathetic that you will twist yourself into a socialist just to cheer on another man
