No one has spent more than trump in 4 years- no one
its a question of overspent which is to say spent to no good effect. aka pissed away....
What we're more likely to see is stagflation. That is, the economy stagnates and inflation continues at a slower rate. The result over time (say the next couple of years) will be a shrinking economy, rising unemployment, and a move by investors to bonds and money markets and away from stocks.
Speaking of investments, one of the drivers of that $5.00 a gallon + gas is a rise in ESC investing. This is in part driven by the Biden administration. Investing in the fossil fuel industry has seen a steep decline since Joke took office. This started under Obama and has plummeted since. Biden has encouraged more divesting in oil and gas through his idiot policies on energy.
The corporate undead
How exactly a company earns 'zombie' status is ill-defined. Generally, the name refers to firms that roll over their debt with continued access to credit markets, without being able to pay off their debt interest. These firms stumble along, just covering operating expenses but soulless as far as profitability and productivity are concerned. Zombies are ubiquitous in the US economy: They comprise 16% of US firms according to one Morgan Stanley calculation. Bloomberg reports that approximately one-fifth of America's largest 3,000 public companies are zombies, with debts totaling $900 billion (€853 billion).
Pretty simple minded
It’s an international effect idiot
Facts matter
was watching Powell's presser, kinda painful to watch him continue to lie.
not surprising but you could see he was very uncomfortable as he should be.
he fucked up, everybody knows it and he's never living it down.
Predictions?
Looked at another way debt levels are so high that there is no way to keep the current global economic system running without default through inflation....this inflation is on purpose.
