We were told by the Trump administration and many of his followers that the tariffs were a "win" as early as May of 2025 with many not even in place yet. Wall Street boasts about how many companies are "beating earnings," but these are relative to many expectations that have

The ironic thing is that in order for tariffs to be large enough to "pay down the debt," you have to tax businesses more. Yet conservatives claim taxes stunt growth. Something has to give, and without significant reductions in government spending, that's going to be lower margins.
Bessent gaslighting again. To be able to pay down the debt you need to run a surplus to begin with and none of the tariffs are large enough to do that. Not even close and the spending bill just passed is running even higher deficits.

"Late-stage capitalism" is a myth. People don't dislike capitalism. They dislike the destruction of capitalism.
“late-stage capitalism.” The phrase whispered by those who spent decades begging the state to interfere in every market, regulate every exchange, and tax every success, only to discover that when the state intervenes, it intervenes for someone. You demanded control, and you got.

Trump:. End the Fed? ❌. Audit the Fed? ❌. Require the Fed to stop paying banks to not lend to consumers and business owners? ❌. Choose another Keynesian who doesn't even halfway understand economics or money? ✅. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Trump is throwing out the name of every Cantillon Effect poster-child he can think of, just to mess with me.

As we've said, the reason younger generations hate capitalism and decide to embrace socialism is because GOP politicians and the media classify our economic system today as "capitalism." . However, we largely have a corporatist oligarchy, defined by the expansive government,

This is what you get when the government plans to offer something "for free." It's not for free. You pay for it through taxes or inflation. Then, the government creates and protects a monopoly (that they run) or an oligarchy (through strict regulation that benefits a few top
US Health Insurance companies are now charging for 2 visits if you take your child in for their regular checkup and ask a question not covered during a routine checkup. This isn’t a conspiracy. This happened to this woman not once but twice, and 2 of her friends. “So I call, and

This is very ugly. Prices paid are going higher, yet employment is declining. Tariffs could be used to help correct America's reliance on debt-based foreign consumption. The problem is that tariffs are a tax, and if you don't give businesses the ability to respond, or if you

"Housing forecasts" are really just "analysts" begging for lower interest rates. These talking head morons on CNBC are jobless without a Federal Reserve to prop up asset prices.
Since 2008, people have been telling me this, especially since 2020. Our New Listings data has had the lowest 5-year period ever. We have the data, we will see it first, until then, all the Silver Tsunami we are Japan stuff has failed from people who don't forecast housing.

This is what everyone is missing. Politicians (neither side with the exception of maybe one Congressman) don't understand economics. Like at all. And it's not hard for the average person, but it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not.
NEW: . 🇺🇲 US companies are losing billions due to Trump's tariffs. Massive layoffs are underway. Ford: "Trump’s tariffs will cost our company $2 billion this year.". GM also reiterated that it expects $4 billion to $5 billion in tariff impacts in 2025. U.S. employers

1. GDP is a poor barometer of economic growth for the American people. 2. The data was heavily skewed due to inventory built. 3. The data has yet to reflect the full impact of tariffs, many of which are not in place yet.
The US economy saw 3% GDP growth in Q2. But it was highly unusual. 1) A massive decline in imports (-35% for goods) lifted GDP.2) Consumption was +1.4% -- a solid, but not spectacular number. 3) Business investment DECLINED in Q2. This is an economy running just above 1% if

Wall Street does this all day long. Some will go on and write 30 page research reports demonstrating their Ivy League degrees over "stories" or "news" like this that can be summed up into one sentence. It's all just noise. Real story? Imports surged as businesses built up.
Stunning. U.S. imports of consumer goods have plunged by 43.9% over the past 3 months . that is the largest decline in history
