Unfortunately more deficit spending. Likely not as much as the current administration’s spending but still too much. The republican party leadership is horrible right now and needs a clearing out. Far too much uniparty in there.

Is that the housing recession due to government policies forcing banks to lend to people they shouldn’t over equity? https://www.cnbc.com/id/35694762

It would seem regulation favors the rich. They already have the capital and size to hire someone to deal with their regulations while their smaller competition and future competitors can’t afford the extra staff. Kind of interesting seeing big companies push for more regulations in their...

Numbers Look pretty good right after you lay off a bunch of people. Same with right after outsourcing everyone.

What does a bipartisan ease of regulation for small banks have to do with the 9 the largest bank and regulators possibly ignoring or not investigating?

So the tax payers bail out millionaires and billionaires?

Things won’t get better if the government bails them out. No lessons will be learned then. I am sure there will be a lot of pressure from dems, media, and the turtle to do something.

If only our federal government was interested in that second option. Then people wouldn’t need to be paying the price for the other option.

So you keep restocking items that you can only sell on clearance? Bold strategy.

If you can’t sell it for profit then you aren’t going to sell it I assume? You will mark down current inventory to get what you can but doubt you will keep a product in that loses you money.

The housing market was already slowing down before the rate increases. Since the prices don’t appear to be dropping. The people selling are just holding out until someone buys at their price because the supply is still low. Everything I see around good is more a product of capitalism while a...

The increase in rates is also stifling an building houses and other supply to meet demand. I will always feel we should have worked on increasing supply and stopping government spending.

So all the people who have been wrong on the economy for the past 6 years are hopeful?

I understand. I also realize that they have been tasked with it when they have one tool because the government has decided it has absolutely zero self control no matter how much it hurts people. I can still think there are better options and we would be much better off without the...

So you prefer to cut demand than increase supply?
