Homebuilder confidence falls to lowest level in five months amid tariff concerns, high mortgage rates
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/homeb...152127716.html

Guess what, MAGA Youth - you’ll never be able to afford a home under this “leader”. Sucks to be you.

No one seems to be talking about the interest rates and declining support to USD as reserve currency, which is the USD holdings worldwide which amounts to interest free loan to our economy.

Once the mindless tariffs kick in, especially against Canada and Mexico who can easily enact counter measures to hurt the US economy, the inflation and the resulting hike in interest rates will jump through the roof. The $4Trillion deficit that the Republicans are planning will not be easy to justify at higher interest rates and borrow they must because, all of the actions taken by DOGE most of which will be blocked by the courts, will not pay for even a tiny fraction of the deficit. And the only raison d'être for Trump II is tax cuts and enriching himself since he has already escaped any punishment for the J6 insurrection and theft of classified documents.

Trump acknowledges ‘inflation is back’ but blames Biden

Hey, MAGAMorons! Remember when your Dear Leader promised to lower prices on day one? And you believed him!? Just how long will it take for you to realize you've been conned? Are you really this stupid!?

He also said he would do away with inflation, and the MAGAT's cheered.

The US economy has suddenly been thrown into reverse as key GDP indicator flashes stunning negative forecast
https://fortune.com/2025/03/01/us-ec...ing-inflation/

Hey MAGAMorons! You voted for this fool because he told you "only I can fix it!". Why aren't you in the streets, protesting that he (as always) lied to you?

^^^according to plan. They know perfectly well what shutting down Federal employment and programs, while jacking ³up inflation, will do. They are crashing the economy on purpose. Maybe to create masses of desperate, exploitable workers, or maybe because they are hateful sociopaths who want to act out Orwell's 'boot smashing a face forever' thing. Or maybe both.
