Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 31, 2018

Ask not for whom the bell curve tolls…

Looks like it’s time to liquidate your assets.

I give the current stock bull market another six months. By then the implications of the recent tax cuts will become apparent, i.e.: no real change in investments in industries; no significant job growth. Interest rates will start to take off and the cash out will begin.

What can one expect when the only thing the president seems good at is declaring bankruptcy? Only this time it will be all of us instead of the investors who trusted him.

Soon to be re-named " Tinkle On "

Maybe name the place Upson Downs?

To paraphrase Betty Davis: " Fasten your seatbelts, we’re in for a very bumpy ride. "

This is 1929 Déjà vu (on steroids) ! There’s not going to be a “correction” or a “hiccup”. We’re headed for a full-blown crash.

I’m afraid it’s going to happen much sooner than many economist predict.

Not the October Surprise that the Trumpist and Republicans are hoping for.

The sign shortly will read: Building For Sale.

@wirepunchr: But no one will be able to buy it because, according to local realtor pundits, the new housing bubble has reached the ready to bust level.

All hail 2008, the ghost of prosperity past

What the sign really refers to is all the happy-hour drunks getting in their cars and becoming highway terrorists and killing themselves (desirable) and others (not desirable).

Wouldn’t Trickle Down’s be a better name for a race track?

Everything hangs together in this one, even the sign on the door.

I can’t remember – who was the president when the national debt became so large?

it’s so cute to see millennial art majors discussing economics!

The MSM won’t tell you, but the coming stock market crash is all over the financial press. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/1/23/1734905/-Stock-market-bubble-Fake-News (according to Trump, that is)

@Dtrout: You left out a word. “actual growth in CHINESE industry under Obama”

Wiley and his followers have to be the most negative bunch I’ve seen.

Cygnus, don’t be silly, silly! We’re positive that Trump is bad for all that is natural and holy….Such as our country…..Which is under attack from enemies domestic….Now that the Russians have infiltrated the NRA, all bets are off….

Have said it before, but will say it again: It’s not the beginning of a Presidency that reflects on that Presidency, as much as of where things are at the end of a Presidency. In this alone, working people should understand the current day Republicans really suck for those that actually make the money that makes the world go round.
