The Economy

[heathrowinneo]

As you have stated... we are now paying a trillion dollars in interest a year alone, this debt has been acquired over several decades..... most of this debt has been caused by "free" social programs..... ebt, snap, welfare housing, medi-cade, useless grants, giving money to nations around the world... 3-4 billion for Israel alone not counting the cost of military equipment and military services, membership in N.A.T.O. anything to do with N.A.S.A. add to this the constant hemorrhaging of money and military equipment for Ukraine.... the endless war in Afghanistan and 80 billion dollars worth of military equipment the Biden crime family abandoned there as well...and the list of bullshit continues
At the time, individually, these programs don't seem costly but add them up now you have an unsustainable debt...
My opinion only..... fuck all space exploration, it's as useless as tits on a boar.. we have two orbit based telescopes with supporting equipment and costly personnel, for what fucking purpose? Price of two useless space stations one of which became obsolete and crashed.... all extremely costly, their presence didn't cure cancer or world hunger so what the fuck?
Not counting the cost of illegal aliens infesting this nation, that money being pissed away on a demographic that never pays taxes commonly referred to as parasites...that money could have, should have been used to help the thousands of homeless veterans that bled for this nation and or civilian homeless people..... nooooo, but fuck no!

good overview on how money was spent... most of it on pork barrel politics.

JFC. These are the kind of unintended consequences that result from simpletons implementing protectionist economic policies.

Abbott warns over the long term, if the company has to continue to pay the tariffs, it may not be able to viably operate a business in the U.S. and could be forced to relocate operations, impacting U.S.-based importers and exporters.

“A lot of the freight we bring in is going to American manufacturers as well as for export,” Abbott said. “They’re terrified that they’re now going to lose their main carrier for bringing that product In. So, there’s a lot of shaking of heads, and what I’ll call just shock,” he said.

Existing home sales increased in September. ️

Sales jumped 4.1% compared with September last year.

The U.S. median home sales price has risen 53% over the past six years.

But the number of unsold houses increased faster than the number of sales …

There were 1.55 million unsold homes at the end of last month, up 1.3% from August and up 14% from September last year, NAR said.

An intelligent individual would conclude that DOGE was just a distraction from DonOld & the MAGAt republicans’ tax cuts for billionaires & corporations (like Elon Musk & Tesla, SpaceX, etc) - which is why the MAGAts just nod their ignorant heads and grunt “DOGE GOOOOOOD”…



We. Told. Them. So.

It was $37 trillion in August. The latest trillion was added at record pace.

At the current rate of expansion the national debt will grow more than $14 trillion over the next 3 years.

The scientific term is “deep doo-doo”.

We finally have new economic data from the government, and it’s not good.

Inflation (CPI) increased to 3% for the 12 months ending in September. Food prices went up 3.1%.

The target inflation rate is 2%.

add some fuel to the fire with the cost of health insurance, food, and home energy, should make for more interesting reading. plus the cost of doing business with more businesses starting to push more of their tariff costs to consumers.

Gas is $2.79. Eggs are $2.99. Everything in my supermarket is lower.
In Crazylibland, prices are probably sky high. But in America, we are rocking.

For the most part you are correct. However, beef and chocolate continue to rise. Some of the wines I like are increasing too. All Californian and a few Oregonian. I stick to Sonoma Valley and Willamette Valley. Asparagus is 2.99 almost every store this week!

Here’s another good (bad) read:

The subprime lending crisis of 2025 is marked by a significant increase in loan delinquencies, particularly among subprime auto borrowers, with over 6% of these loans being more than 60 days late. This situation has been exacerbated by high car prices and rising interest rates, leading to concerns about the stability of the credit market and the potential for broader economic impacts.



And another:

In 2025, student loan delinquencies have surged significantly, with reports indicating that 12.9% of loans are now considered seriously delinquent, the highest rate in 21 years. This increase follows the end of the pandemic-related payment pause, leading to millions of borrowers facing potential default.

It is shameful biden compounded the car crisis by stopping production during the pandemic. The resulting poor lending practice is a set up for a fall.

The student loan delinquencies are being addressed. There is a program to assist in paying your student loans without defaulting on your credit. The government will not pay them for you. However, if you used them to graduate and get a job it is possible to pay them.

Some idiot said that the Pedophile was the third best President after Lincoln and Washington. It upset his whole day to think there may have been two people in history better than him, but his cultists deny that he's a narcissist.

It’s going to get sooooo much worse:

Amazon plans to eliminate 500,000 jobs through automation, and other corporations are doing the same.

“No Country For Old Humans”…
