Trade Gap widens. Imports and raw material prices rising.
Inflation coming. Uh oh, doomsday scenario is coming true.
Dollar falling like a rock and interest rate going up.
Not bad for a Friday the 13th.
\_ Inflation hasn't been and stayed this low for decades. You want
inflation? Go checked out the Carter years for what real inflation
looks like. The rest of that stuff fluctuates over time. Why are
you so thrilled with the idea that our economy might collapse? I
hope you understand that something as big as the US economy is not
under the control of the President, or the Federal government as a
whole and cheering for a global economic collapse so your guy can
get into office is simply sheer stupidity. Have you ever talked to
anyone who lived through the Depression? If you had you wouldn't
be so rah-rah about the economy possibly tanking for real.
\_ am I supposed to be rah-rah about the economy when there is
nothing to be rah-rah about it? the great depression happened
precisely because people became too optimistic about the
economy. are you on drugs? as for inflation, I think everyone
knows it is low, what people are concern is the direction
it's going to go cause that will affect interest rate which
may cause problems with various bubbles.
\_ you don't have to rah-rah anything. i simply told you there's
no reason to claim gloom and doom. mild inflation is not an
economic problem. it is quite natural. only the insane,
short sellers, and hostile foreign powers rah-rah when the US
economy is in trouble. i doubt you're a hostile foreign
power.
\_ Hey you are the same "are you on drugs" person trolling the
motd below.
\_ what have you been smoking? "are you on drugs" is
a common phrase on the motd.
\_ No, no. You got it wrong. Our prices are just low, Low, LOW! You
gotta buy American! High Quality! Excellent prices! 10% off? That's
not enough! 20% off? No way! 50% off? WAY! Now we're talking! And
why such a deal? 'Cause Crazy George is our manager and he wants
to let you know it's ALL FOR SALE! Need credit? Crazy George will
lend you the cash! Buy it! It's all good! Why worry about tomorrow
