Turns out we’re run by incompetent morons who set tariffs so broadly that you can’t build factories in America right now without paying them.

I hope they do.

Gotta fund all of the Somali programs or else liberals will riot , again

And yet we are headed towards a capex boom which will lead to massively expanded employment.

It’s funny that everyoen is so stupid yet the economy is firing on all cylinders headed into 2026 (just as someone kept saying on this forum).

So the golden age will commence in Q2?

No - The golden age has already started. Q1 26 as I've been saying for almost a year. I may have undersold it as things seemed to have mightily improved in Q4.

The ~$5 billion provided in (R)’s latest spending bill should hold them over until those tariff revenues come through

Whoever designed the DEF system for machinery and cars and trucks needs their head examined. Thats the biggest PIA.

'“Americans are frustrated with rising prices for groceries and electricity, and they are fearful of the hiring recession that’s underway right now,” Heather Long, Navy Federal Credit Union’s chief economist, said in commentary issued Tuesday. “The K-shaped economy is great for the top 20%, but many middle-class and moderate-income Americans are barely keeping up.” '

These buffoons don't know that we're in the golden age.

 

[Tapate50]

Are people sharing their stories with the Navy Federal Credit Union Econ Chief?

Or is she just reading that there "won't be stock on the shelves" people

Huge. It’s not just jobs returning to the US, it’s infrastructure. Not having domestic supplies of this stuff shuts down other industry downstream. Not having large scale production prevents domestics from being price competitive.

As the kids say, this is what I voted for.

Correct - Despite what health care experts say 'efficiency' isn't the #1 priority in all situtaions.

I just can't believe how much of what I wanted I'm getting in Trump v2.

Will go down as the most consequential man in our nations history as this was truly an inflection point between a golden age and a communist dystopia.
