Good News? October 2019 Jobs Report

Never. He’s in the bag packing stage right now. It will take some time though because he has so much baggage.

"“If a country spends billions of dollars on infrastructure projects, its GDP will rise,” says Beckley.“But if those projects consist of bridges to nowhere, the country’s stock of wealth will remain unchanged or even decline.”

That is incorrect about the regulations. The only thing that Trump did to help boost the economy was signed the tax cuts that passed the GOP controlled Congress.

Whereas our trillion dollar deficit gets us 1.9%?

That has a lot more to do with demographics and debt than Trump’s trade war. The US is in a similar boat too.

Just as an example…

" The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs projects that the fiscal year 2019 caps will reduce regulatory costs, on net, by $18 billion (in present value). In addition, the administration has proposed a range of options for revising the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards and greenhouse gas emissions standards that are projected to save between $120 and $340 billion. And other deregulatory actions are in process, including a rollback of the Obama administration’s signature global warming regime.

To put that in perspective, annual regulatory costs under the Obama administration increased by $122 billion, according to analyses by The Heritage Foundation.

Too bad most of it is not spent on infrastructure then, isn’t it… and not the bridge to no where type infrastructure like China or Harry Reid…

Not sure what you are referring too

Any country with an aging population burden with debt (both public and private) is a terrible combination.

Socialist countries don’t count if they are doing better than us (China). But if they are doing worse (Venezuela) then they do.

I bench pressed 400 pounds this morning!

If I take the 200 pounds I actually did, and

  • add 50 pounds because my shoulder hurt a bit,
  • and look at my tracking spreadsheet from last month where I update a couple of typos from past workouts, that adds 125 pounds,
  • and let’s just assume the air density in my basement adds an additional 25 pounds.

Boom - 400 pounds - baller.

Doesn’t matter. The mwevans haters are gonna be in here saying you didn’t press 400 pounds even though you obviously pressed 400 pounds. More than 400 pounds, actually, when measured on the sun.
