We are headed toward stagflation, it's going to get a hell of a lot worse, and the Fed lowering rates will only exacerbate it. It will make the Carter economy look like the good old days, I'm talking a Hoover type economy. It'll be so bad that no matter what numbers Dotard's "statisticians" cook up it will be clear as day that he's flushed the country down the golden crapper. Even if he wanted to stay for an unconstitutional third term, the people might just physically remove him from office.

My wife and went for our weekly trip to Costco yesterday. We spent $400, which is $50 to $100 more than normal, and the shopping cart was less full than usual. My wife likes to spend money and is not political, but she knows who's to blame. On the way home she said, "we have to cut back until this orange chit stain is gone." I had planned to retire next year, but I just told my Chief I'm planning to stick around until spring 2028. Then I will spend every waking minute either trying to get Dems elected, or as volunteer security to protect them from what's left of the rabid MAGAts.
