The well off aren't affected by any shenanigans. At least not from what I can see. But "well off" can mean a lot of things. mtmuley
IMO people people who are well off don't need to worry about money now or for as long as they live. His policies don't affect them monetarily. Are you in that category? I'm not.
 
Things are going great; auto loan delinquency rates are at their highest level ever. Maybe some good deals coming on repos since new car prices are insane and probably only going to get worse

IIRC auto loan terms usually specify that you keep the vehicle properly maintained and in good working order or something to that effect. The lender wants to maximize resale value in the event of a repo. If they an't afford payments then they probably not doing proper maintenance.
 
prices rose under trump, then biden, then trump, those are facts the catalysts of which are fairly well understood (or should be) you can't really blame any of them individually.

yes, the foundations of a recession are oft always laid well before a president can do anything to cause or stop it.

i agree it seems things were looking to unwind to some degree no matter what but to scapegoat the actions of this administration with that excuse is being blind, perhaps willfully, to reality. you can't pour gasoline on a fire and say "well it was burning already so not my fault the whole house burned down!"
Pre election I brought up that we were in a great economy and the next President would have a tough tume anvoiding any bumps. I was told the economy was crap, but whatever. YMMV. But I also said the US economy is amazing dynamic and resilient. Trump has basically said “hold my beer”. He took a business environment cheering potential for lower regulation and extension of tax cuts and turned it to “holy shit he is serious about tariffs”. Businesses are scrambling but don’t want to say much publicly.

Agreed. I think most downturns are on a fairly set cadence and there is not much that a President can do to cause or prevent them.

Then again, this tariff stuff certainly does not appear to be helping to stave it off.

It boggles my mind after living through the past eight years that people wave off the man words as bluster.

For better or terribly worse, the man is not and never has been joking about anything that comes out of his mouth.

We were told take him literally but not seriously…or seriously not literally. I really can’t remember which. I am sure that whoever was saying it didn’t know the difference, so not sure it matters. I’m more amazed at the silence of Congress and business.

Inflation comes in hot tomorrow and we are all f@^ked.

I like to think Congress is saving their moment for do or die time.

It’ll be hot; tariffs wont even be in the data yet and it’ll be hot.
