S&P 500 at another all-time high in spite of historic rate increases.
Great job, Prez!
It's called purchasing power destruction. It now costs more for everything, including stocks. It takes more $$ to buy these assets because you can't sit in cash or bonds. Everything is up. Gold, precious metals, stocks, homes, food, etc.

Don’t care about that, I care about results and the best index of American companies is at an all time high.

Central banks printed 40% of the entire worlds money supply in just 1 year (2020). We are witnessing a run-away inflation event. We have no choice but to cut rates soon because we can't afford to keep spending 1 trillion a year on interest payments. We are already 35 trillion in debt and at this rate will be well over 50 trillion in debt by the end of this decade.
And so are the prices for literally everything including our debt to GDP.Don’t care about that, I care about results and the best index of American companies is at an all time high.
Correct. The latest polls show that only about 25% of Americans believe the economy is in good shape. We've already started monetary easing and we are about to follow the ECB, Canada in rate cuts. You don't cut rates when you think the economy is strong.Bidens economy continues to crush the less fortunate. Poor families, which includes a larger % of minorities, continue to struggle to afford food, gas, rent and other necessities. If cold weather hits before the election, heating their homes will be come an additional struggle.
Hopefully it opens the eyes to the abject disdain the dem party has for the poor and makes them realize voting dem for the last 50 yrs has gained them nothing but more struggles and govt dependency - which is the dem goal.

You know we are still under the Trump tax plan? We are realizing great benefits from USMCA still. The China tariffs are still in place. This is the Trump economy getting overrun by the Biden inflation.

As I've stated several times this is not a partisan issue. Our "leaders" are crippling our future. Every American should be concerned what's going on. OP talking about the SPX being at an all time high fails to realize it's largely due to inflation and money printing. Everything is near an all time high in price while wages slowly climb. Fortunately for many of us on the board we participate in the stock market because it's a way to at least not get absolutely destroyed by currency debasement, however, many Americans do not participate in the equity market and they are watching their purchasing power melt like an ice cube on an Arizona highway. All of this at a time our debt is increasing at an alarming rate. We will be 50+ trillion in debt by the end of this decade unless there is some serious restraint.Who was in charge in 2020?

Our national deficit is not a partisan issue as bad as you want it and everything else to be.You say it isn’t a partisan issue. But you are always ready to blame Joe Biden for everything bad. From trumps first day in office you were sucking him off like a fan boy.
The whole “bidenflation” argument is what uneducated buffoons parrot from Fox News talking points. They conveniently forget that Trump dumped more stimulus into the economy than Biden did. The hey conventions forget that he wanted to put more in but was stopped by Congress.
Explain like I’m 5 why the debt matters and why everyday folks should be concerned with the number going up. Would anyone’s life be any easier if we all woke up tomorrow and the US was only 10 trillion in debt instead of 35?

Debt has to be paid. It's pretty simple. We also have to pay interest on that debt. It's over 1 trillion a year in interest alone with current rates.Explain like I’m 5 why the debt matters and why everyday folks should be concerned with the number going up.

But again, if you just look at the polls, only 25% of Americans think the economy is good. Probably a big reason why Biden's favorability is the worst in your or my lifetime.
The FED can only do so much to slow inflation with rates when congress is asleep at the wheel and on a spending spree.
Oh and btw, Biden just shit himself again on national television. He's going to be just fine.
I would hope not. It's more than obvious that he needs to step down or at very least not run again. His family is the one who should be ashamed by allowing this to continue where we have to prop him up as best we can when he is on TV.I have said a million + 1 more time now that I don’t want Biden to be the nominee. I also don’t want someone much more progressive to the nominee. I would choose either option over that traitorous scumbag Trump.
But you lecturing people on partisanship is the best laugh I have gotten in some time. Thanks!
Walmart’s stock is up 32% over the last year.
Don't know specifics.Which Walmarts are closing?
Seems like if they're closing everywhere, it wouldn't be hard to name a few. I'd think the article you posted might even mention a couple.Don't know specifics.
Ok...here you go junior. You thought you had something and you didnt. I almost feel sorry for you here. Dont come after a dog unless you ready to get bit. LOL!!Seems like if they're closing everywhere, it wouldn't be hard to name a few. I'd think the article you posted might even mention a couple.
Everything is up. Your purchasing power is being destroyed. Everything is at an all time high in price. Your dollar now buys you less than it did last year, the year before that and the year before that. We printed 40% of the entire worlds money supy in 2020 and 2021. Assets, equities, commodities, food, shelter, cars....EVERYTHING is up 30%+.Walmart’s stock is up 32% over the last year.
And the stores that aren't closing are finding other challenges in staying open. Drugstores, particularly in high foot traffic areas, are increasingly locking up merchandise behind closed plexiglass doors to prevent theft.
A photograph of a Washington, D.C., based CVS shows even the simplest items, like toilet paper, isn't even displayed on shelves anymore. Customers are instead asked to ring a bell to ask for assistance in retrieving their preferred brand, based on a variety of framed photos of available brands.
It's not limited to pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens. Most convenience stores, big box retailers, and even sporting goods stores have commented on the increase of theft in stores and its affect on profit margin.
Target (TGT) CEO Brian Cornell explained on the retail giant's Aug. 19 Q2 earnings call that the chain is grappling with "an unacceptable amount of retail theft and organized retail crime."
I thought crime was down?
Violent crime is down
Isn't that mainly a west coast issue? This west coast liberal thinks most liberals are different than west coast ones. It's his opinion but I tend to agree.Great. So why are some people okay with theft? Not punishing people stealing less than $950, allowing mobs to pillage stores... It makes no sense whatsoever.
No it's not. Liberal Soros owned DA's are doing it in most of the biggest cities.Isn't that mainly a west coast issue? This west coast liberal thinks most liberals are different than west coast ones. It's his opinion but I tend to agree.
Nicholas Kristof: Is West Coast liberalism more focused on ideology than results?
The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof joins Morning Joe to discuss his latest piece 'What Have We Liberals Done to the West Coast?'www.yahoo.com

Who is OK with theft?
This has been a scapegoat used by retailers to combat bad press from closing stores. Theft impacting retail has been proven false many many times.And the stores that aren't closing are finding other challenges in staying open. Drugstores, particularly in high foot traffic areas, are increasingly locking up merchandise behind closed plexiglass doors to prevent theft.

Inflation over the last year is 3-4%. Walmart stock is up 32%. Use your brain.Everything is up. Your purchasing power is being destroyed. Everything is at an all time high in price.

Don't be fooled into thinking these companies are doing that much better. You can't be that naive.
I refuse to believe you are this dumb. You have to be a troll account.Inflation over the last year is 3-4%. Walmart stock is up 32%. Use your brain.
Wal mart stock is up 32% over the last year. Inflation is 3-4% over the last year.I refuse to believe you are this dumb. You have to be a troll account.
Inflation is not 3%. And the total inflation since 2021 is closer to 35-40%. Which again makes since considering we printed 40% of the worlds money supply in just 1 year.
As I have told you several times. EVERYTHING is more expensive because your purchasing power has been destroyed. Especially the equity market.
