The Economy Is The Only Thing Keeping Trump In Office. A Crash Would End Him.

[Truth Detector]

Trump is busily ruining the country and those such as tinfoil cheer him on.

This is nothing more than a bold faced lie. Unemployment is at a 50 year low. Wages are on the rise. GDP is better than it has ever been under Obamunism and the stock market has reached new all time highs.

Only a dishonest partisan hack or a willful idiot can make such a claim.

Serious economic problems are coming. The signs are everywhere.

I am comforted by the fact that you have NEVER been right about ANYTHING and lack the education or intelligence to predict anything accurately.

'Collateral damage' is not in Trump's vocabulary.

He really doesn't care one little bit whatever happens to anybody else, the nation, or the world. If it helps him in any dementedly perceivable way, then he's all for it.

This post is rather IRONIC coming from someone with such a massive amount of misplaced hatred of a man he doesn't know, that he wishes for an economic collapse.

Good lord; leftists are beyond repugnant and stupid.

 

[Truth Detector]

The profits of the rich are coming directly from the pockets of the rest.

LIE and LAME. More Marxist dogma from the guy wishing for a massive economic collapse. How do the rich TAKE anything from you, or anyone else for that matter?

One can only have such delusional beliefs by thinking that an economy is finite; and therefore, for someone to have more, someone else must have gotten less. But that is outright bullshit. When Bill Gates became a BILLIONAIRE, he didn't steal that wealth from anyone, he CREATED that wealth and a LOT of millionaires in his wake and expanded the economy immense and EVERYONE benefited from his inventions.

This is what I mean about uneducated dullards. You are an example of what a glaring failure our leftist leaning educational establishment has been for our citizens.

Hello cawacko,

To each his own and at least your honest. I'm sure others would like an economic crash as well but won't openly admit it.

I have a family to feed so I never wish for bad economic times for folks.

Please understand I would not like this at all. Nor do I wish tough times for those on struggling budgets. I am very sad to realize that this is what it would take for America to move beyond Trump. Very sad indeed. I am sure you are correct that others agree with me and are not bold enough to admit it openly. I merely strive to see things as clearly as possible, and this is how I see the situation.

A serious crash, as bad as that would be, would have the silver lining of causing Trump's supporters-of-convenience to turn on him. That would be very bad in the immediate sense, but in the long run would be good for the country to move beyond the Trump era.

There have been several strong and quick dives in the DOW since Trump has been in office. People know the market rise is false and built on false pretenses. They know the debt cannot go up like this forever without causing big problems. The bottom has to fall out sooner or later. The higher the market goes, the more severe the crash will be when it comes. I urge everyone to take all the profits you can now while you have the chance because once the fall starts it will be so swift you will not have time to get out before losing big. Now is the time to be a bear. For those who are too poor to be invested, I urge you to place a renewed priority on paying down debts and building up savings. Everyone should have savings equaling at least 6 months of living expenses.

Avoid unneeded large purchases and buying or renting with too much of your income because that puts you in a position of being 'house broke,' and unable to save or have enough discretionary funds to deal with unexpected expenses. Get rid of any cars with payments and purchase a reliable older economy car for cash. Do everything possible to live well below your means so that you can place yourself in a good financial position and give yourself the ability to save as much as possible as quickly as possible. Now is the time. You have been warned. Fail to heed these words of wisdom at your own peril.

If you drive very much it is very important to have a car that gets the best possible mileage. If you do the math, you will find out that putting gas in a car often costs more than the price of the car when you add up all the gas you use during the number of years you own the car. Great savings can also be realized by adjusting driving habits to maximize fuel economy. Not only does this make expensive gasoline go further, it also greatly reduces wear and tear on tires and brakes, which means you don't have to buy tires or brakes as often, yielding more savings.

Avoid eating out and eating fast food too often, or making that a habit. Buy food at a discount grocery store, and take a home-made lunch to work. Take a really critical look at your daily expenses to see which habits can be eliminated and replaced with a healthier habit that saves you money. Coffee and cigarettes can be very expensive habits, which, if eliminated or reduced, can result in significant savings.

Anyone living in a region of high rents who does not own their home should consider moving to a more affordable area. Rents are unlikely to ever go down, and it is entirely possible that they will be going up again and again. Don't wait until your budget is strained by high rents. You could be throwing away thousands.

Save all you can while you can. Even if you don't need it for an emergency, it can be put toward your nest egg, and you will be VERY glad you did that later on in life.

Only because without Republican honesty to the situation, that is the only way.

Irony; a leftist hoping for economic collapse talking about honesty.

If Republicans were to hold Trump accountable then it would not be required for the economy to crash to get rid of Trump. Sadly, and as much as I detest the thought, a crash is the only thing that would spur Republicans to become critical of Trump.

Hold him accountable for what??? Doing a damn great job helping the economy grow and create jobs? Defending our border and enforcing immigration laws? Gesus.

Another way to save money is to look for expensive habits to change.

If you are a beer drinker, consider switching to a less expensive brand. It won't taste good at first, but if you force yourself for 2 weeks your tastes will change and then you won't notice it. Buy your beer at a discount seller and get it by the case as the price per can is lower that way.

When buying clothes always go to the thrift stores and see if something used will work for you. Nobody else will know where you got it, and if it looks good on you and you like the comfort it can be a big savings.

Buy things in bulk for the best thrift. Soap cleaners detergents toilet paper etc, all the things that don't go bad can be stockpiled so you don't have to buy the more expensive small sizes and you won't ever have to go out and pick up something you're out of, thus getting you out of making another car trip. Each time you turn the ignition key costs you money. Consider dropping cable TV too. Many metro areas have a lot of broadcast channels which are all digital now, so you get even more programing options. And if you have internet the free TV viewing options are nearly endless. Libraries often have a selection of DVDs which can be checked out for free.

It's darn hard to increase the amount of money you have coming in so the trick to saving and being flush is to do everything possible to reduce the amount of money going out. The more thrift you practice the better off your financial picture becomes, and the more able you are to make it through the next recession which is absolutely coming. The only unknown is when. Being prepared for it begins whenever you decide to take care of your own situation, but the better prepared you are the less it will impact you. Recessions do not affect everybody equally. Some people never feel them and it makes zero difference in their lives. For somebody who is paycheck-to-paycheck, and they either lose work or encounter a big unexpected expense, it is devastating. You can't wait for a recession to make smart choices to be prepared for it. It has to begin with forethought and follow through with proactive action and establishing good habits.

Surviving the coming Trump recession:

Getting a gas saver econobox is not exciting but the savings just add up over time. You never know when gas prices are going to go up. And keep your tires aired up. Most tires can be inflated higher than the car is rated for. Just look on the side of the tire. Cars that call for 30 might be sitting on tires that allow 44. It's a bit harder ride but it all adds up. Hyper miling means taking your foot off the gas earlier and maybe taking corners a little faster so you don't have to accelerate after the corner. If your tires are inflated more, it can wear more in the middle of the tread. But then cornering faster will wear them on the outside more. So it all evens out.

When buying used cars for cash (directly from the seller is usually the best deal) you often get no guarantee. Make sure you get a good car with few problems or anticipated repairs by using this website to avoid known lemons:

Hello Phantasmal,

If you can afford it that is a personal decision. But you know conservatives have long said that a lot of what leads people to financial hardship is of their own making and that means making smart decisions.

People who drink in a bar really don't have much choice unless they are paying extra for some special beer. Even the less expensive brands cost a lot in a bar. And then add tips on top of that. A bar-going beer-drinking habit is VERY expensive compared to store-bought for the same brand. 2 beers at a bar every night could run $10 a night, $70 a week, ~$280 a month, $3640 a year.

For somebody who normally buys their beer in store big savings are possible as well. A Bud Light drinker who normally has 2 beers a night and buys 12 packs could be spending $55 a month, $660 a year on beer.

If that person were to shift to Natural Light in the 24 pack and pay $15 a case, that would be $1.25 a night, $8.75 a week, or $455 a year.

Look at the difference between the most expensive habit and the least. That's a lot of money. $3185 a year. And we have not changed the amount of beer consumed at all. Only which brand and how/where it is purchased.

$3000 a year is no big thing to somebody who makes plenty of money and lives well within their means.

But for somebody who carries lots of debt and barely survives paycheck to paycheck these are very significant differences. You could buy a used car for 3K that would last years with no payments. I may be a social liberal but I am very fiscally conservative. It strikes me as very foolish for somebody on a thin budget to be throwing money around foolishly when a few little changes in their habits can make all the difference in the world. Imagine if a person has a 3.6K per year beer habit, but they don't pay off their credit card balance every month. Or making car payments. That's just making bad choices. The rich oligarchs didn't do that to them. They did that to themselves.

I also don’t drink a lot of beers these days, so I can splurge when I do. I think it’s great being practical. I love bargains.

So because he's those things we should want our economy to crash and all the trouble that comes with it for people?

Because he's those things it's inevitable that the economy is going to crash, so best to prepare for the inevitable.

Yeah, tinfoil loves Trump so much that his profile pic has Trump's mouth as a urinal. Let me venmo you a dollar, so you can buy yourself a clue.

Best that you keep that dollar, since you are clearly in need of a clue.

It is possible to not even drink coffee. Coffee is a very addictive drug and most coffee drinkers are powerless to change their habit. But there might be good reasons to try.

There is a natural enzyme which is responsible for making you feel awake and alert. When a human wakes up after a good night of sleep, the mind is not sharp instantly. Not sharp at all, very groggy. According to natural biorhythms, a natural enzyme is produced at this time of day which gradually causes alertness. This enzyme is produced until about 11AM and then shuts down. This is why most people are at their sharpest at 11AM. Since this enzyme is no longer produced and the individual gets lunch and blood flow is diverted from the brain to the stomach for digestion, that alertness goes away and most people feel a bit sleepy and may have difficulty staying awake at 2PM. This is a natural time to take a nap. Americans generally ignore this and power through this period. About 3PM, another enzyme is produced, again according to natural biorhythms, which reverses the alertness, and begins to cause sleepiness. This continues until about 8PM and also shuts down naturally. That is why most people are ready for bed by 10-11 PM.

Caffeine inhibits the production of both of these natural enzymes. It feels good to get a jolt of caffeine in the morning and get the day going, but the sugar adds to the buzz for only a short while, leading to a dull following. Many find it difficult to avoid wanting that second cup of java. But a gotcha problem awaits. Get too much coffee and it may be difficult to fall asleep at night and/or stay asleep. Non-coffee drinkers tend to sleep better, leading to a more natural high during the day, thanks to the full production of the natural biorhythm enzymes which take care of the functions coffee interferes with.

The savings of letting the body do it's own thing can be calculated.

A fancy cup of Starbucks coffee - $5 a day. $1825 per year.

Keurig coffee maker $90. Individual packets - .50 ea., (one per day) would be $182 per year. + the coffee maker, electricity and bottled water of course, all extra.

A cheap coffee maker $25. Coffee in the bag comes out to about 8 cents a cup. (one per day) would be $29 per year.

So ya have to ask yourself if it is worth the expense to be a coffee snob, and if your budget can afford it.

Once again, if you own everything free and clear and make no payments, have plenty of cash and it is worth while to you for such an extravagance, then that is your choice.

But for somebody who is in debt, never has cash, is always behind on payments, makes car payments, does not pay CC balance off every month, these are the kinds of expenditures that begin to look very foolish. Certainly, an individual who deems coffee to be a necessity but is on a tight budget, would be wise to spend $29 a year on it (plus whatever the coffee maker, fuel and water cost.)

It should be noted that the individual who does not sleep well and always finds themselves in a big rush in the morning, who forgoes the time consuming thrifty coffee choices (or simply none at all) and then drives thru to get a $5 cup every day? You know, because they are 'out of time,' because they didn't sleep well? And then they self-medicate with more caffeine which inhibits the natural enzyme which would help them sleep better naturally and actually wake up before the alarm even goes off? And they can't pay all their bills ever month so they carry a balance on the credit card? That individual is not making good financial decisions and could turn their budget, savings, and net worth around by making smarter choices.
