The Economy

[SebastianHolt]

Higher marginal tax rates would encourage the wealthy to reinvest their winnings in the economy instead of squandering it on fripperies like rocket ships

we need rocket ships! we need them to invest in this and not purchase a 2nd ... or 5th on a big ass honking boat

in the near future we need to start mining asteroids

Dum-Dum Donnie is repeating his lies? I’m shocked!

Employment shrank by 133,000 in February, before bouncing back 178,000 in March. Net change: a measly 45,000 total over 2 months, or 22,500 per month.

The US economy averaged 186,000 new jobs created every month in 2024. Job creation was much stronger under Biden.

The trade deficit in March was the same as it was in April of last year, on his “Liberation Day”. No decrease.

Economic shocks, asset ownership, wealth inequality and taxes …

 

[Lazaran]

Economic shocks, asset ownership, wealth inequality and taxes …

A new tax plan is going to need to include clawbacks of price gouging profits, war profiteering, and tax cuts for the rich and corporations that have all gone on for the past 50 years.

“Eat the excess profits / wealth of the rich” until we’re back in that sweet spot of asset ownership being more balanced between all (more) sectors of society.

The day of reckoning for starting directionless wars, cutting funding for snap and Healthcare. More marches coming as his approval ratings continue to tank. Tie this to ongoing tariffs, affordability will be a growing problem.

Peter Thiel now has his protege JD Vance continuing to travel the world to cotton up to other fascists, and accelerated his timeline given Trump's plummeting ratings. Vance is actively courting the toxic Christian Nationalist rightwing, blithely parroting their goals of a Christian nation, while his real agenda remains replacing American democracy with a new world order, an American Technocracy, managed by unelected tech bros.

Another downward revision of GDP growth in the 4th quarter of 2025.

1.4% to 0.7% to 0.5%:

The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) on Thursday released its final reading of fourth-quarter GDP, which showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 0.5% in the three-month period including October, November and December.

The figure was initially estimated at 1.4% before it was lowered to 0.7% in the BEA's first revision.

The overall annual rate for 2025 was 2.1%.

GDP growth in 2024 was 2.8%.

 

[Lazaran]

GDP growth in 2024 was 2.8%.

And that ^ was with DonOld & the MAGAt republicans doing everything they could to sabotage the government & the economy.

Efficiency is not a number.

I think the best thing that you can do when exploring the economy is to look at metrics you haven't.

as if that mattered, clearly you are not an investor nor do you have any skin in this game
