The DOW and S&P shattered records yesterday! With the trillions in investments next month, the top isn't in sight!

As long as this translates into jobs for the general population, it's all good.

Otherwise, the stock market going high high high is just creating envy and bitterness among certain segments of the population.

Agreed. However, I’m only posting it to show that the economy is strong. There are some problems, but a recession being on the horizon isn’t one of them. Eggs were high. Eggs are down. Beef is high now. It will go back down. Coffee, bananas, and a few other items have risen. Many things have dropped. I have the list. I just need to type it out. Dems are rabid over President Trump saying the economy is great. Kamala recently gave a speech on it. Inflation is at 2.9 percent. That witch does know that she and Biden heralded in 9 percent inflation, right? When you average in everything, prices have increased by 1.4 percent since President Trump took office. That may sound bad, but it is less than half of inflation! Anyway, my point is that the economy is strong and will get much stronger as those trillions of investments hit the job market, as well as the tax cuts (which were retroactive to January of 2025). I am convinced that “economists” are either partisan hacks or charlatans or both. Where is that recession that the economists claimed was in the horizon? You don’t have extended record growth in the stock market like this with a bad economy. Also, wage growth is now outpacing inflation. The largest amount ever spent on Black Friday. The national average for gas is below $3. It’s far less in many places. People are generally positive about things. The media is trying give the Dems a narrative about affordability, when they were the architects of an affordability crisis. Revisionist history much? Yes, healthcare is still an issue. And employment growth is positive but not as high as it should be. That will change soon. Companies also didn’t adjust withholding like they should have. People will see it in refunds. But next year, they will notice the higher take-home pay. And GDP growth was projected to be 4.2 percent before the shutdown. I’ll try to post all the price drops tomorrow. “We are the precipice of a golden age.” Kevin Hassett
