Do we really want to change horses?

Forget about the candidates for a minute one is in the throes of dementia the other one is stupid and has poor judgment and has a poor track record of running a business. Other than real estate and anyone who buys, or inherits and then holds real estate is going to get rich. idiot proof.

This stock market has made us all a lot of money. Why mess with it? That may become the main question in many peoples eyes come November.

Not entirely true. The second round of stimulus ( for CA, paying unfunded pensions to the Unions) made inflation skyrocket. The inflationary numbers are being manipulated. They are saying a target of 3%. What about he the other 17% it went up? That's why everything is still so expensive. Interest rates should be in the 26% range to curb this unnecessary inflation.

Estimates if a Democrat wins Re-election:

45% of Venezuela’s population and 25% of Columbia’s will move to the US by 2028. Under Trump, it would be less than .1%. Let that sink in.

Biden has the USA closer to WW3 than anyone is reporting. Even without the dementia, he’s an idiot. Always has been.

That sounds like a scare tactic along the lines of "if so and so gets elected your social security check will be taken" How long have we heard that one? I don't give in to scare tactics. Or get manipulated by them.

100% of people that go to Columbia are already in New York.

Can we agree that business leaders are the most Republican folks out there? They are focused only on profits and what can generate more profits and least taxes. And they are not endorsing the Republican as should be expected. Let that sink in.

Here is an eye opening fact:

Most top CEOs aren't giving to either Trump or Biden

Wall Street loves Democrats. They along with the RINOS are bought and paid for. Trump is the exception. My guess, Trump will have his experts look into the tariff option and come up with a good number.

Btw, Silicon Valley is increasingly pro-Trump.

demoRats are Ok with cheating. Think about that. They don't freaking care. They don't even hide it. It's who most rats are. Look at the covid voting changes. Look at all mail in ballots. Look at no id's . etc. etc etc.

Most economists agree that you can't grow an economy without population increase. That's what the elites want. None of this invasion stuff affects or bothers them.

Look at California. One party control FOREVER now. They do whatever the hell they want and look at the results. IT's coming to the rest of the country. No real way to stop it now. sc

Does it matter who wins? It is going gangbusters with a rotting corpse at the helm, so are his policies making it happen? No.

If the wrong guy wins and starts a trade war via tariffs, then yes it could hurt. reducing rates too early or too rapidly could also hurt . Lets remember how the Fed was bullied into dropping rates in 2019, now we know that they were on the right track by raising rates to prevent inflation. Instead they gave in to pressure and dropped rates. Then had to rapidly and unmercifully hike rates to catch up in 2021.

From 2019:

" Trump has persistently scolded Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for aggressively raising interest rates last year. The president has compared Powell to a “golfer who can’t putt” and even suggested his handpicked Fed chief is a “bigger enemy” than Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The above is the ridiculous crap that we had to tolerate. Mind you he picked Powell ( his only good hire, then turned against him)
