Well, for starters, a$$ hats like Upchuck Schumer and Joe Manchin need to cut the sh!t with their ridiculous and EXTRA spending now that we are officially in a recession.
They are being heavily lobbied by global elites (and funded by same), and they will drive major corporations right OUT of this country. Before they move they will lay off workers, cut jobs, and try to weather the storm until we can get these disgusting pigs out of office.
Or, as Senator John Kennedy said this morning, "The water won't clear up until we get all the pigs out of the creek."

Thereyouare · 56-60, M

@Thereyouare Lmao, have you ever considered moving to south Italy for your dream society? little/no taxes, little/no government, if you get shot in the middle of the road by those guys in black who are operating in the truly unrestricted, free market I'm sure you won't mind.
Anywhere else where such model isn't implemented, instead, you're supposed to pay taxes, and you're supposed to get security (yes, even financial) in return.

Yeah we call them billionaires. People like Trump who are worth billions USD and yet pay in taxes yearly half of what you pay monthly.

Raise taxes on the rich instead of taxing the hell out of the people who can't afford it, cut back on military spending, and stop trying to save the world. Oh, and those tariffs aren't hurting Russia, but they're sure as shit hurting America, so yeah, cut that out.

@Belladonna this. Lower income taxes and proportionately create new ways to squeeze more money out of corporations/close the loopholes/alter the law so that they can no longer dodge taxation.
Basically squeeze big business and use the money you get out of them to subsidize new small businesses who will begin to grow in the empty spaces left by the shrinking big businesses.

First: Remove Biden era restrictions on oil and gas production. Seek to increase domestic energy. The additional supply in the market will lower the cost of oil to a more manageable level. That will start a similar chain reaction to stabilize things similar to the way it started the chain reaction in raising costs.
Next: Get back to reasonable unemployment standards.
Third: Close the southern border to only legal entry by finishing the wall and start enforcing the laws currently in place.
Fourth: Send Biden to an ice cream parlor for the remainder of his term. Get Harris a new set of knee pads so she can get back to what works for her. Clearly using her mouth for things like speaking is NOT the right choice.

Most economists say the US economy is not currently in a recession. That said, a slew of recent data raised concerns that a recession might be imminent. This according to the National Bureau of Economic Research’s Business Cycle Dating Committee, responsible for declaring such. The global economy is facing a similar picture of high inflation and increasingly aggressive steps by central banks to curb it.
Historically, lowering taxes, offering stimulus packages and adjusting interest rates can alleviate the issue. And time. We're a rabidly capitalistic nation and recession is about consumer market health. We'll always buy all kinds of stuff we don't need, so all we really ever have to do is wait out a recession.
And to stop demanding in February what's so bountiful in July; we need to learn to adjust to the world, not the other way around.

I have gone through 3 or 4 in my lifetime here in the US. From what I remember they usually worked themselves out when we as consumers slowed down our buying and then prices fell back in line. Problem this time is when Covid hit...demand died...then after ppl got vaccinated and things started opening up...demand got high...supplies went low and that caused inflation and the rise in prices.

What did I miss? I know there is some discussion of it, but I didn't think it was "official" by any means.

@Ontheroad
When issues hurt politicians you get political answers,
The White House has pushed back against calling the current economy a recession. It is no doubt aware of the role the economy is going to play in the midterm elections.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen noted in a recent appearance on NBC's Meet the Press that while two consecutive quarters of negative growth is generally considered a recession, conditions in the economy are unique.

@FreeSpirit1 Okay, now I get what you are talking about. I generally don't pay too much attention to what the political fight is, or what reporter says what. I wait for economic data to come out that across the board tells us inflation is here. So far it's leaning that way, but even leading economists are saying we aren't there yet. And, if we do go into a real recession, it's the Fed who, in my opinion caused it. Raising the rates so fast and so high has hurt the economy.
FreeSpirit1 · F
@Ontheroad Inflation has been here for a while. A recession is usually 2 quarters of negative growth, except when it's being spun because a midterm election is coming up it seems.
Example:
White House economic advisor Brian Deese has claimed that a recession is not universally defined as two straight quarters of negative growth.
“It’s not the definition that economists have traditionally relied on,” Deese recently said regarding the aforementioned definition.
_____________
In 2008, Deese told the media, “Economists have a technical definition of recession, which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth.”
He now works for the White House and is spinning.

Undo printing money like if there was no tomorrow in 2020, undo depending critically for energy on a fuel that is poisoning the planet and undo depending critically on unstable second and third world countries for our supply chains, and you'll have your magic solution.

@FreeSpirit1 yep. That's how the,, bank bailout went in 2008 after goldman and sacks cashed the housing market in 2007.
The american tax payers paid for that and when the banks received those trillions of dollars they gave a great portion of the bailout money to their ceo's bonus's. For crashing tbb. ,,,,

Everyone who makes less than $100,000 a year needs to go on paid vacation and the banks and big corporations should have to foot the bill. Js
