Indeed, it is not happenstance. Ever heard of the Federal government and its excessive spending and borrowing?

Morgan Stanley bear warns his bleak scenario for 2019 is taking shape

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/th...ape-2019-06-10

“The macro and micro economic data continue to deteriorate,” Morgan Stanley’s chief investment officer wrote, pointing to weak durable goods orders, disappointing capital spending, soggy retail earnings, lackluster freight shipments, and a “very soft” jobs number as evidence of an economy running on fumes.

“This raises the risk of my core view playing out — that companies will do whatever it takes to protect margins,” Wilson wrote. “And while labor is the last lever they pull, they will use it if they need to.”

Don’t be so quick to blame U.S.-China trade tensions, either, he said. “The economy was already slowing and escalation potentially makes things worse.”

Maybe a good old fashioned recession will finally rid us of this incompetent, criminal administration.

I know my IRA would take quite a hit, but nothing would please me more than for the economy to tank about a year from now.

Here’s why Jeffrey Gundlach thinks Trump might drop out of 2020 presidential race

Never want to hope for a recession, but if he's right, c'mon, recession!

Gundlach said Trump’s re-election chances depend almost entirely on the economy. And just last week, he predicted a 40% to 50% chance of a U.S. recession within the next six months, and a 65% chance of a recession in the next 12 months.

Perhaps because Obama wasn’t an idiot, unlike you, Donny?

This is suppose to be a counter to Trump's argument re the rising employment figures for minorities.

It's a Trump media noise follower's counter to Trump's BS mastery.
