Tiger337 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I feel bad for those wealthy Magas who got out of the market because socialist Biden was going to send us into a depression. Nah, not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the "non partisan" types who decry the lack of civility in political discourse from the left while being silent or ignoring it from the far right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 from trump's tax cut to biden's infrastructure bill, to continued low interest rates, the money keeps flowing out of washington and into wall street's pockets. as long as we keep buying the rest of the world's goods and being a relatively good actor on the world stage, we can keep having the world's reserve currency and keep spending ourselves silly. i read an article recently comparing the US to 16th century Spain, awash in gold from the americas. i didnt really understand it all, but the basic premise seemed to be without any consequences for terrible financial mismanagement, government and society grew fat and lazy, and eventually collapsed. we'll see if history repeats itself, or just rhymes.

Archie Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) I still think you are seeing the markets and the economy reacting to the country, or at least parts of it reopening from covid shutdowns. Its not that Biden or his people had much to do with it other than it was mostly blue states that shut down for longer periods. I think some shutdowns were done to hurt Trump and the economy. Covid is as bad as ever now and I haven't seen any talk of shutdowns or the plan Biden had to get us out of the pandemic that he campaigned on. Maybe he forgot? On the other hand Biden probably hasn't done a lot to hurt the economy either. What he's doing to hurt the country, like the invasion on the uncontrolled southern border doesn't impact the markets or economy. If his BAN (bankrupt America now) plan was to pass that could hurt the economy. Edited December 28, 2021 by Archie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 The shutdowns weren’t done to hurt trump. It’s because we had a raging and deadly virus and no vaccine. Now we have plenty of vaccines. Whitmer didn’t risk assassination just to hurt Trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking about Trump again, where his Tax Cuts ran $1 TRILLION annual DEFICITS his 4 years in office and he added $9 TRILLION TOTAL to U.S Debt? Another Republican as president and this country will have another GREAT RECESSION like the one Bush caused. The usual: Republicans FUCK UP the economy and the Democrats FIX the REPUBLICANS BROKEN Economies... Rinse. Repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's an argument to be made that QE was appropriate in response to the panny but they did it for years when it was totally not necessary. Literally kept priming the economy while the politicians were bragging about how it was the best economy ever, and then a year later are like WOAH INFLATION? BIDEN! But I do agree that we should see things slow down if they stop QE'ing. Should help with inflation too.

1776 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I believe, all things considered at this point, inflation is more or less a natural progression of returning to some semblance of normalcy, post-virus actions/reactions. I recall many of the money gurus projecting a steep and severe nosedive in the market and economy early in 2020. They were correct. These same people were also, for the most part, we’re touting a quick rebound. The rebound has been staggered and there are many reasons why that I won’t get into. Was it a good year in the market? Just look at the capital gains distributions to answer that question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
