Meanwhile, we have Spidy going on about billionaire greed. Last I check the biggest holder of Walmart stock was the Walton family made up of several billionaires. So Trump tells Walmart to not screw over consumers and enrich the Walton billionaires, and you are condemning it? We all know that no matter what Trump says or does you are going to condemn it. It is all Dem good, Republican bad.

Let me clue you in on something, Tooms. There is no fucking way the White House doctors missed this diagnosis. They covered it up along with Biden's mental decline.
As for your comparing yourself mentally to Biden, I agree that it is possible that you are just as demented as he is.
The issue with Biden is not forgetting one fact about his son. It is that he could not recall the dates on anything. We all know that all you Democrats care about is power. Hell, you do not care that the person calling the shots in a Biden presidency was not Biden himself. You would violate the rule of law and vote for the corpse of Biden if you could over any Republican. That he is dead or brain dead does not matter to you. All you care about is that your government checks keep flowing.
And deep down, we all know that you Democratic douches wanted Trump assassinated and dead. You do that when you call him the Fuhrer and Republicans Nazis.
For those of who care about Democracy, the question to us is who was really running things with Biden so out to lunch? The first thing that happens when a will is contested is you look at if the person signing the will was mentally competent. That often is a question of relying on the testimony of medical professionals, and their credibility has just taken a huge hit.
I agree with not prosecuting Biden. You cannot get past the burden of reasonable doubt with a guy that demented. However, if he cannot stand trial due to mental incompetence, why the hell are his pardons legal? In fact, legally speaking, everything Biden has done now could comes under scrutiny.
Not only was there this mental decline with Biden, he was walking around with Stage 4 cancer, and you Democratic douches are so stupid you keep going on about how sharp he was and making excuses for him. That is why I keep calling you Democratic douches. You do not have one objective cell in your bodies.
Meanwhile, you cannot help yourself demonizing Trump, yet there is no doubt in anyone's mind that he is the one calling the shots is there? Maybe some day you will get the importance of that.

In the case of China "property income" for the household sector in 2019 and 2020 was around 4. 5% of GDP, and closer to 3% of GDP on a net basis. In contrast, in the US, this number was about 15% of GDP. This reflects the higher returns on US financial and real assets. It is worth considering here the penchant China's middle class has for sitting on vacant apartments and the amount of household net worth tied up in such vacant property; the low dividend payout ratios for listed Chinese companies; and, perhaps most importantly, the low bank interest rates paid to depositors and the lack of alternative avenues for revenue generation.
In other words, China's high savings suffer from financial repression: capital controls force them to maintain their savings onshore and a state-owned financial intermediation industry pays them a poor return on their savings. This in turn reduces household income and therefore curtails their ability to spend. The Chinese saver has therefore been made by policy to finance huge government-driven investments, which are earning increasingly low returns.

We can debate who's debt is a bigger issue. Let's resort to some facts. https://www.fidelityinternational.co...r-e1feea-en5/. So it is in a bad place, as I already acknowledged. Meanwhile, the US national debt alone is 125% of GDP. Add on household debt and that's another 60%+ of GDP https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicato...of-nominal-gdp#text=United%20 States%20 Household%20 Debt%3 A%20%25%20 of%20 GDP,-1999%20%2 D%202024%20%7 C%20 Quarterly&text=United%20 States%20 household%20 debt%20 accounted, Mar%201999%20 to%20 Dec%202024.
And then there's corporate debt etc.
Here's the thing. China is a net saver. They have a huge amount of savings offsetting the debt. In fact they save way too much. https://www.ft.com/content/cc40794b-...a-4b10b12b6ff5.
They comprised around 28% of the entire world's savings last year. Please look back to my conversation with Tiny to see the relevance of this, and let me summarise it simply. The difference between a country's production and its consumption is its savings. The difference between the country's savings rates and its investments is its current account (and this is not synonymous with its trade balance as many people mistakenly believe). So these 4 concepts underpin the American issue: Production, consumption, savings, investment. The savings. Investment deficit needs to be financed and that is through a current account deficit. That's it. So your solution is straightforward. You either increase your savings, or reduce your investment (latter not ideal). But you can't increase your savings unless you reduce your consumption or increase your production. Trump's batshit idea is that somehow you're going to get all these companies producing your Iphones and laptops and consumer goods to somehow onshore and increase capacity when you have neither the manpower or skills or capacity or resources and even if you did it would result in a much higher cost or a much lower wage. As for you're going to "automate it"- right LOL, the Chinese don't know about automation already right? They make the west look so 20th century.
So production cannot increase massively, meaning your consumption has to go down. I don't know why you would argue with me here as it seems to be what you're endorsing with regards to the public sector. I however think you're a little too fixated on sweating the small stuff and not enough on the big picture which as I said is healthcare and defence. Maybe being Israel's lapdog is not in your interest?
Anyway, the bottom line remains- you are seriously underestimating China. I have explained before their psyche- they will not let them be humiliated again. They will play the long game, and it may not be 5 years but 10 before they get military supremacy over America where it matters. America cannot afford to continue to outspend them. And even if it does, they'll make a better product. Be it a plane or a train- at half the cost, as they showed the world recently in destroying the French Rafael's with their J-10's. The best days of America are behind it.

But but but how then will ordinary Americans get ALL of their needs and wants paid for by China "paying" those Trump Tariffs if Walmart eats them?
See, once "eaten" there will not be any of that Chinese money to pay for Childcare because Childcare is Childcare and groceries, god I'm glad Trump invented that word.
LOL. Now, seriously, how hilarious is it that The Worst Economic Results Since Herbert Hoover so-called president Donald Trump's months and months if not years and years long blitheringly incoherent blather about Who Pays Tariffs is shrugged off as perfectly acceptable while One Of The Greatest Economic Records Of All Time President Joe Biden not immediately remembering the year one of his sons died is triggering nation-wide pearl clutching?
Less that 10 years after the fact I could not have told you which year my mother or father died. As important as events like that are in our lives I doubt many of us mark the exact year in our memory banks in order to recall and commemorate each of them year after year. We move on. And a president typically commemorates a thousand mortal events every year anyway.
Trump has already forgotten he took the Oath of Office to uphold the Constitution of the United States. And that was barely 115 days ago.

This clueless Repub/GOP Senator from Pennsylvania, is about as clueless as those here, that think because their American Fuhrer sleeps with hookers, prostitutes and porn-stars, won't adopt yet another one of his many hypocritical "Law and Order for Thee, Not for Me" policies.
Where naturally MAGA sycophants are exempt from the law and rule of law, providing of course, they bend the knee, grovel enough, pay ($$$$) enough, or simply willing to commit heinous crimes in his name, like Jan 6th!

John Ewing set to become Omaha's first Black mayor and flip the office as Omaha elects first Black mayor (with 56.3%), crushing and ousting Republican leadership of Nebraska's largest city (by margin of 12.6% points), a race she'd previously won with 63%. Ewing will also be the first Democrat to serve as Omaha mayor since 2013.

All thanks, to "...you know who" and president Musk, from the ruby red state of Nebraska.

Having embarrassed themselves with their TDS-driven cognitive dissonance over the past few months, Democrat-voting UMich respondents (and women, and low income Americans) in the preliminary May survey (a month after Liberation Day and also post-Pause and the massive meltup in stocks) turned the TDS-terror dial to '11'.
Consumer Expectations are now at their lowest since. Drum roll please. May 1980.
Tariffs were spontaneously mentioned by nearly three-quarters of consumers, up from almost 60% in April; uncertainty over trade policy continues to dominate consumers' thinking about the economy.
(I bet most consumers have no fucking clue what % the tariffs even are).
Year-ahead inflation expectations surged from 6. 7% last month to 7. 3% this month, the highest reading since 1981 and marking five consecutive months of unusually large increases of 0. 5 percentage points or more.
Long-run inflation expectations climbed from 4. 4% in April to 4. 6% in May, reflecting a particularly large jump among Democrats to a ridiculous 9. 6% over the next year!!
Finally, given their historic track record (completely refusing to acknowledge the surge in inflation under Biden), should we simply be ignoring the manic Democrats screaming about inflation now?
Sorry, one more that made us fucking laugh. One-third of women surveyed believe inflation over the next year will be 15% or higher.
So someone is lying: actual spending all time high while reported sentiment (based on 250 polled UMich respondents) is all time low.
Perhaps that explains why soft survey data has started to turn back up to hard data reality in the last week as it's hard to hate and keep pushing out your depression-era forecasts when stocks are at record highs and jobless claims remain near record lows.
End of link.
PPI which front runs the consumer price index was down 0. 4% in March and 0. 5% in April, and yet we have these crazy Democratic douche female loons predicting 15% inflation. Jesus, you cannot make this shit up. At least Wall Street has figured it out and the market has rallied.
The lies being told are just unfucking believable.
