  1. It is hilarious that republicans are getting mad that the economy is doing well.

    Like we are all on the same team guys, let’s celebrate this victory.

  2. Nobody is mentioning that BRICS nations are dumping their dollars while they still have some value. Those dollars will flood our market even more causing more inflation. Smart people are turning their dollars to silver and gold.

  3. "Record debt and deficit spending with high inflation"
    Bloomberg:
    – Its impossible to figure out what is going on with these high GDP numbers and job growth.

    Really dude, do they now refuse to talk about the obvious risk of inflation driven demand coming back with yet again higher CPI numbers?

    Why would a record rates hike cycle create more growth on the peak of interest rates? Because inflation is higher than CPI, if you use that as a data point everything els makes 100% sense

  4. All the FED did was make taking on new debt more expensive and most of US history the rates were around the current rate so if anything we are just back to normal where we should have been the last 15 years. Now that rates are normal again, banks can actually give you something for savings. Finally savers can get rewarded, instead of people that take on debt.

  5. Growth sounds great until you realise it’s due to higher consumer spending because of higher costs & a huge increase in government spending…..
