Nick Anderson for January 27, 2023

The other thing I don’t hear many people talking about is how solid the dollar has been during Biden’s tenure.

The Fed is doing what it can to get us to a soft landing. I’m holding my breath… but only for a few seconds at a time.

The NYT had an article about the economy growing solidly in the fourth quarter of last year. So much for the recession. It would have happened if the QOP were in power.

The reality of the fantasies of infinite “growth” on a finite planet are about to hit us all in the face like a snow shovel….

Tell that to 18k amazon workers let go this month and never mind the highest percentage of business closings in Manhattan, chicago, LA, Seattle, San Fran and others in history

Just what I need with my morning coffee—a rare and welcome dose of optimism.

Now all we need is for a Republican president to wreck it…/s

Numbers came out yesterday — economic growth has cooled.

How solid is a dollar that’s worth 8% less than last year

Took a long dream trip to AU/NZ in fall 2022 (originally planned for 2020, but something happened). The AUD (Australian dollar) and NZD (New Zealand dollar) were both in the .6 to .7 range to the USD. Everytime we looked at prices it was a 30% discount.

Republicans want to derail the train and make themselves engineer.

GDP down to 2.9% from 3.2% last quarter and down from 5.7% 4th qtr. 2022. Sounds more like an economic train wreck coming straight from the White House.

Be watchin" fer that there debt ceilin’ barracade they be throwin’ fudder down th’ line . . .

Hmmm that’s a speeding train….speeding trains often wind up in?

RepubilCONs just won’t learn that there Herbert Hoover trickle down economy doesn’t work and Democrats build from the bottom up does

The economy, like the weather, will do as it pleases, without input from the experts.

Pump the breaks!

Biden did that.

“And the train it won’t stop goingNo way to slow down”

Don’t worry, the Republican house will put the brakes on, permanently.

The economy is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be!

The economy is better than the GOP make it out to be! With them it’s always Chicken Little..the sky’s falling…

Hey, it’s running on a “Third Rail”, what could go wrong. /s
