Everybody here in the US keeps telling me that I'm wrong when I say this stuff will destroy our economy.
I sincerely hope the rest of the world proves them wrong.
I mean look at the stock market, customer sentiment, etc. Everything is pointing down and we haven't started to see the unemployment that's going to be brought on from all the government layoffs and attempts to rescind grants/contracts.
I think the next jobs report is going to be painful and we won't see anything positive economically for a while after that.
I expect the Trump government will prioritize cuts that make it difficult to get accurate data about the effects of the cuts.
This is the entire point of the deferred resignation program being offered to Federal workers. It keeps people from being able to claim unemployment and pushes the true jobless numbers out into the next fiscal year (October) at the earliest. Now, why do you think they don't want the real pain point for the American people to be until after they've raised the debt ceiling and cut taxes on billionaires?
You'd think, but they're literally cutting like mad men. And it looks like people are already noticing, Wisconsin just went blue for the judge and Florida got surprisingly close to flipping (if you look at the numbers it seems that Republicans were turning out in numbers to vote blue).
The thing about seeing things coming and having that insight be rejected by people is that they will really get angry if you say I told you so. In fact they will try to make you not convincing them being the real problem.
Edit: Whoops fixed it.
I toad a so
It's not rocket appliances
Worst case Ontario.
