The Economy

The economy wsa in bad shape when Trump took over both times, actually.

🙄

DonOld the pedophile club member Trump may have left the economy in worse shape for President Biden than the shape Shrub Bush left the economy in for President Obama - and that is saying a WHOLE lot.

I provided actual evidence. You don't like the facts, so they're not facts.
No at all.

What you have stated falls into the realm of classic Cognitive Bias and Logical Fallacy. More appropriately under
Disconfirmation Bias. Where someone is trying to discredit arguments they disagree with by actively denying the counterpoints of another, accusing the other of not accepting their 'objective' set of evidence as the final word on the matter.

Such a person is often attempting to have the last word on the conversation as though that trumps the conversation.

Often, it is the other readers who will draw their own conclusions based upon their personal views and/or added research to see which set of 'actual evidence' holds water.

I'm of the opinion that your evidence is biased more than mine. You stack blocks of facts that all lean toward your objective. I include facts that offer pros and cons, then weigh in on an opinion about them. I don't see that in your commentary.

We call them “Sea lions” around these here parts of the Lit site…

They try to get other caught up in circular arguments so they’re distracted from things like DONOLD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN EXPLOITING AND ABUSING YOUNG FEMALES - and that very troubling birthday message that DONOLD TRUMP SENT TO HIS BEST FRIEND JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Inflation increased to 2.9% in August, driven by gas and food price increases. Core inflation remained at 3.1%.

The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 2.9% annually in August, a rise from July's 2.7% increase and on par with economist expectations.

Month over month, prices rose 0.4% compared to July's 0.2% increase. The rise was driven by stickier gasoline prices and firmer food inflation.

Core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy, rose 3.1% year over year in August, unchanged from July and in line with estimates. On a monthly basis, core prices climbed 0.3%, matching July’s increase, which was the strongest monthly rise in six months.
 
I’ve been posting economic news in the “Thanks Biden” thread, but I think it’s time for a new dedicated thread.

Let’s begin with today’s good economic news:

US economic growth increased last quarter to a healthy 2.8% annual rate



Good news indeed.

The economy is cyclical so an eventual downturn is inevitable, but it’s not here yet.

I’m sure all Americans will be pleased by the continued strength of the economy.
Biden sucked as a POTUS. Too focused on woke retards

One seldom sees a bitchslap of this magnitude around these parts anymore.

I'd be interested in seeing if this epic beatdown registered on any seismometers in America.

Well done, Mr. Mallord.
 
Inflation heated up in August at a 2.9 percent annual rate — a faster pace than in June and July — as trade policy continues to filter into consumers’ wallets. The Labor Department’s consumer price index for August picked up as expected, and well above April’s post-pandemic low of 2.3 percent.

Core inflation, which strips out food and energy and is viewed as a steadier gauge of underlying pressures, rose 3.1 percent from a year earlier, matching economists’ projections as well as July’s annual pace. If monthly gains firm over the coming months, some economists warn annual inflation could approach 4 percent by year’s end.

That seems legit (and troubling), but I’ll have to wait for BabyBoobs’ spin / gaslighting before forming a final opinion / conclusion…

Regarding beef, click on the 5 year or 10 year view of the FRED link MR posted. You’ll see that it’s a trend that began years ago. Here’s why: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/beef-prices-record-highs-drought/

Yes, tariffs are an added contributing factor. The US imports a lot of beef, but there are more fundamental factors that triggered this trend which began long before April of 2025.

What I hve staed falls into teh realm of facts with evidence. But you have done no such thing.
 
I showed you numerous articles about how bad Obama's economy was. Response: attack me for using articles from that time.

I showed you evidence of how bad he Biden economy was, with actual numbers. Response: Claim I'm uneducated.

And then attack me for pointing out that he's made no substantive argument.

Yawn.

Welcome to the Politics Board where Miserable left wingers come to drown in their tears. They hate facts and data.

Were you staring at yourself in the mirror when you crafted this narrative. :D
