When will you assholes finally understand how economics work? Oh yeah, never. Simple explanation: things like prices, supply and demand, inflation and deflation; these all are instigated on a million small actions, but only reveal themselves on a national level as a result of long period if interaction with other factors.
Long story short: our present situation was arrived at through actions of the past. Try to remember: trump's trade war with China, his departure from just about every international body that plays a part in international, and thus national finance, and his almost daily insulting of world leaders. Just one more, and listen carefully: he single handedly destroyed, altered, or rescinded every measure intended to protect our environment from the last fifty years. Thereby allowing every corporation in America to just about do anything and everything they want to increase their profit. How much of that profit was used to make our economy better, do you think? Ha!!
