Economic Stimulus

[joesbud]

Does anyone really think that cutting government spending by 2 trillion dollars will provide a better economy for 95 percent of us?

1. First, you have to accept that 2T was a bald faced lie. Nt

8. I 100% believe that $2T COULD be cut from the Federal Budget...

Problem is... Trump and the GOP won't cut the right places.

First off... a 50% cut in military spending.

Point #2, Trump won't HELP anyone with the money saved, just use it to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

10. The sausage factory does not make

Perfect dessert confectioneries for anyone. For level headed analysis on this topic I recommend Paul Krugman’s Substack. He has a few articles up since the whole DOGE bs was launched.

11. I'm not going to pay to access his work.

12. There are good articles there that are not behind

A paywall.

2. We will be in recession by July. Probably negative growth next quarter.

Of course the numbers coming from this collection of criminals will be bogus but the big banks will know the score.

5. Many

economists said last summer and fall that if Trump won we would be in a recession by summer.

6. Argentina is Trump's model. nt

9. People with neighbors / family out of jobs will know too.

3. I'm confused to why they raised the debt limit 4 trillion dollars?

Nothing they're doing makes sense.

4. It won't even provide a better economy for the 5%

Being on the top of a smoldering pile of collapsing framework is not much better than being trapped underneath it.
But these Geniuses and Cold Warrior snowflakes can't think much past "it's mine!" to see all the really valuable for survival things they're throwing away in their quest for "Respect" or "Authority"
Then there's the rest of that 5% who pray for Armageddon because that will absolve them of all the cowardly selfishness and shitty actions they've shown over the years.

7. The average person will see no benefit.

13. He's firing thousands of people

whose budgets are set. Now, most will not be able to find adequate jobs to replace this unjustified loss of revenue. trump will not be able to explain the sudden downturn of the country, so he'll lie like hell. Job losses, business losses, medical losses, and everything else will combine to push us past a recession and into a depression. His idiotic "tariffs" scheme will contribute mightily. No one will want to do business with us.

He's breaking the country, and for what? I hope MAL gets hit by a hurricane this year. Nobody else, just him.
