This is truly damning stuff, clearly perverting US foreign policy to extort a "favor", discrediting a political rival.
Well, America still, "needs," those things no matter who makes them. So you say you can handle/afford the duration (got stock piles?) but can your fellow country[wo]men? And remember: Trump has us at war with EVERYONE ~ even our allies. And, of course, all your bets are off if China gives President [Quid-Pro-Quo]Trump some manufactured dirt on the Bidens (that's a product from China he wants to buy!).
Trump has to convince everyone the Mueller Report was part of a plot against him, in order to justifiably pardon people such as Flynn, Manafort, and possibly Roger Stone, should Stone be convicted in his November trial. Why? Because they still hold the keys to link him to the Russian election interference. Start connecting the dots.
Damn, I never understand how people can be so angry and negative all the time.. But it explains this countries and the leftist attraction to mind and mood enhancing drugs!
No recession, no failed economy, mfg slowdown after the unexpected increase and the Trump haters lose their minds.
The dots are being connected and Durham is key to the insider corruption of government abuse of power.
Bumpo's post sounded joyful and confident ~ not angry and negative. And you have no valid cause to claim a, "leftist attraction to mind and mood enhancing drugs." I'm a, "leftist," and I don't: smoke, drink, or use any drugs whatsoever. In fact many of the opioid addicted neighborhoods in America predominantly supported Trump in 2016. Hence, and sadly, your statements are a false and baseless narrative. Maybe you should re-evaluate things going on around you.
Lol...We warned you that trump is a deplorable demagogue. He loves to keep the poorly educated angry, negative and paranoid all the time. Everyone else already has his number and knows his supporters are being played like a cheap fiddle.
Wow you are going to lose your leftist membership card and bumper sticker. Clearly his base aren't the ones he is keeping angry, negative and paranoid all the time. As Freudian slips go bro, that one is in the top 5 I have read on this site I suggest two cups of coffee before attempting to be tricky....
EXACTLY! We dominate the global community even when we are struggling a bit at home. The world's nations are ALL playing the American model of the socioeconomic game with us as the champions. And the moneys we pay keeps them all in our playground where we have ultimate control. The ones who want to forfeit our global ruling status are the same idiots who forget the threat of being on equal footing with those other competitive entities who are bent on our destruction.
The Manufacturing index fell this low in 2016 and I don't remember you saying that Obama "needs to go". What's up with that?
The manufacturing employment gauge fell in 2016. This is the factory production income...the lowest for ten years, or 2009 at the end of the recession. Reductions in employment usually follow slow-downs in production. Many economists are predicting a downturn...as the temporary boost in the economy resulting from tax cuts and deregulation wear off. Why? Probably because wages aren't rising as fast as expected, which fails to create "effective demand." In other words...you can't have a successful consumer economy without successful consumers.
My original reply wasn't to or pertain to you.. It's my opinion, you don't like it, ignore it and move on..
Not according the the article that the OP posted... https://www.marketwatch.com/story/s...e-end-of-great-recession-ism-finds-2019-10-01
My post was to refute your claim that "the manufacturing index fell this low in 2016." I was pointing out that the 2016 figure had to do with employment, not production. If you'd care to cite your source for your claim, I'd be happy to read it.
You are absolutely correct. And since the taxes and interest rates have already been lowered to nearly nothing there will be no safety net this time around if the worse case scenarios become manifest. The emergency kit is already spent!
