The Government is a Shit Show

Frightening to think where would be if there wasn’t an interruption of what was happening. Tough act to follow. You can’t admit it but you know it.
Can anyone give an intelligent explanation for what we are seeing? Crashing the stock market and driving us into a recession, so interest rates drop - seriously.
So you’ve been asleep for 4 years……
Quite an economist you are.
Gee, when a president stops the silly and ridiculous trans, gender affirming, race baiting DEI garbage, the Karen’s come out and scream regardless of the logic.
Laughable
No, I don’t know it. I’m not an expert on economics. The explanations for GDP tanking, stock market tanking, and tariff driven inflation ….. I know this is unacceptable but maybe Trump is an idiiot.
Yea, our economy tanking is related to DEI stuff, and I guess I missed the part of my post where I mentioned DEI.
Focus on GDP.
Stick with the Karen, trans, gender stuff. That’s your sweet spot. No idea what any of that has to do with my post.
I was talking about the results that Trump has produced so far. It’s amazing to watch the absurd explanations on here. Just explaining away ever stupid decision, every shitty result.
The concensus amongst Maga guys is that his horrible results are … what?
He’s an idiot. We are screwed.
Dang, I sure would like better choices for voting
Indeed. The last 4 years were terrible.
6T of unfunded spending is a Fock ton of waste and graft.

Okay - that’s your argument? Crockett? Is she important in the grand scheme?
My topic was our government. It’s a disaster.
The last 4 weeks have set this Country back in ways that are impossible to quantify.
Not one valid argument against my point. Some “what about Biden”, some DEI (??), and some personal insults.
He’s driving this country into the ground.

You seem triggered. The stooge you voted for caused all of the problems. Relax, the grownups are in charge now. There could be some rough patches, but we will all be better off in the long run like the last time Trump was President.
I’m not triggered. And I never voted for Biden.
Trump is an egomaniac idiot. So far the results prove that out. Keep on explaining away the results though.
You’re getting too emotional about. @-lowcountrydawg has done a good job at laying this out. Trump isn’t an idiot, but at the same time it’s not as easy as “just do this and do that and it’ll all be fixed.” Trump has been in office for two months, give it time.
I’m trying to do that and I understand why it’s the wise choice.
Yes he is an egomaniac idiot. But he gets shit done. There are tons of us that don’t like his personality, but he does what he says he’s going to do. And that means a lot these days.
I honestly think Trump won the election when they raided Maralago.
The economy has been propped up by all the spending and Government hiring. You had to know that there was gonna be a little bit of adjustment.
Let me guess. Your drink of choice is urine on the rocks.
Dude, where have you been for 4 years? You seriously think anyone can fix it in 5 weeks? Serious Qs.
No expert here, but a guy on TV that sounded like he knew what he's talking about said there would be no recession and the market will be fine. That's all I got. You're welcome. The sky is falling.
You should bump this thread when we hit 9% inflation.
The man has been President since Jan 5th.
He has done more to correct the errors of our government in the first 60 days than any President has ever done.
Giving as much control of the government back to the people, the citizens, as I have witnessed in my lifetime.
Well pull this post back out in a year. I will enjoy it……as will the majority of the US citizens.
maybe you are the idiot if we don't correct this mess and i mean the 36 Trillion in debt. the open border, the BS green energy scam.
must get government spending under control must secure our boder must get energy coat down and our country has a chance if not no chance. it's going gtake short term pain and a little time but Trump got the best plan
Man biden really meant a lot to you 😂😂
Where have you been? The stock market was OVERPRICED for the past year. Stop pretending to be a republican, or one is. You are not. “I’m a republican and I hate trump” yeah right.
Easy to be a critic - but hypothetically speaking, you're in charge - how would you tackle the issues facing us today??
he seems so angry
trump really has these libs out of their mind lol
Quick to criticize, I would have “shirley” figured you would be quick with an answer. Presumably you have thought this out & would like to share.
So far, nothing but {{{crickets}}}. Say it ain’t so, tell me you have all the answers - the floor is yours.
Looks like you’re talking to yourself at this point. Ole Kidney is either hung over or trying to pass a stone.
We are still trying to get out of Biden’s bullshit economy.’ It takes time to turn a battleship!
To answer that you have to be aware of all of the problems. Not sure OP is there yet.
We all need to understand that this isn’t just Biden though he put us on the fast track to destruction. This is decades of both parties giving away freebies for votes and no one in congress being adult and saying this must end. We are in for some tough times but if we had not elected Trump we were looking at total collapse. There was no option for a quick fix.
We have been told for at least 40-50 years that our government is inefficient and wasteful ($700 hammers…). Those saying DOGE isn’t finding waste are not serious players. There is massive fraud that will come out and stopping the “gender studies of Brazilian frogs” will go a long way towards balancing the budget.
In other breaking news, water is wet.
Our government has been a shit show for decades.
I’m a free trade guy myself, and generally against tariffs, but other countries sure as hell put them on us, and our domestic manufacturing base has been dwindling for a long time.
There was a time up until about thirty years ago when most of our clothing was made here in the U.S. This clothing was produced
by a lot those uneducated hillbillies that the elites positively abhor in most any town in the rural south with a population of at least 900-1000.
My father was in this business. He would own and operate one or two of those small manufacturing plants at any one time. I worked in them, too, boxing up and shipping garments, loading and unloading trucks, hauling those garments to various places in Florida, Alabama, SC, NC.
Then came NAFTA, and the domestic manufacturing of clothing all but vanished. I watched him hang on as long as he could, seriously considering moving us all to the Dominican effing Republic, where a lot of that manufacturing went, until it simply became unsustainable. Fortunately, one of the few places clothing is still made here is in prisons by prisoners, and my father was able to secure a position with the state of Georgia to oversee that operation.
Tariffs are something neither of us wants to see, but maybe the only solution to restoring our manufacturing base.
When it’s all gone, when we don’t make anything here anymore, when everything is imported, other governments will have our shit show government, and by extension, me and you, by the short and curlies.

Correct. My town used to produce pillows and socks, and a neighboring town used to produce socks. Gone now
