bruh, I voted for Trump in 2016 BECAUSE I wanted him to drain the swamp. He didn't. He made it deeper and continues to do so.

So you want the Republicans to gerrymander but you don't want the democrats to do it? And I'm full of sh1t?

Another guy that doesn't understand "It's all so corrupt" How about this, are you or @Cdub100 willing to admit that what the republicans are doing is corrupt? I'm willing to admit the democrats gerrymandering is corrupt. You're accusing me on not admitting that but can you do the same or are you a hypocrite?

You only hope that so that Republicans can get an advantage

I was simply commenting on the fact that you shouldn't be happy with a 4% return. But if that's all you want, then enjoy. I also taught you about bond funds. You should be thanking me. I would not want to live on my own island right now. You just don't get it. But go ahead and act like a fool.

This is a direct result of your inability to understand the English language. I even clarified with another post for you. You can be man enough to own up to it your own confusion.

See this is just dumb. No one is rooting against America. Were you rooting against America the past 4 years by saying how expensive everything is?

I don't love my job, but I don't hate it either. Offers me lots of perks and a generous salary. Plus looking for an IPO within the next few years which would give me lots of cash. The point is, you look silly laughing at people that choose to work for various reasons. I'm only 52 and in great health. Planning on many more years.

OK, so what is funny about being undecided on what is next in my life when there are so many variables?

Why are you raging that I don't know what I want to do for the rest of my life? I have 3 kids, all in college right now, spread out, don't know where they want to spread their roots. Aging parents that need care. My wife and I are undecided on what we want to do or where we want to be. I could retire tomorrow and move down south and do whatever but that doesn't appeal to me right now. Why is this difficult for you to understand? Well you can't even a prospectus so maybe I have my answer.

GDP grew more in Biden's last 2 years than so far in Trump's term so stop with the gaslighting about Trump good Biden bad. Looking at this number, imports pretty much stopped due to the on and off tariffs which made the number look better. Consumer spending was tepid, down from a year ago.

For the smooth brains up in here, I CONDEMN on the most strongest way possible BOTH Democrats AND Republicans for engaging in gerrymandering. Are we clear?

I said it's all so corrupt. Do you understand what "all" means?

It would be nice if politicians had ethics and didn't engage in insider trading but since they don't, we kinda need bills like this. Republicans cried about pelosi for years but they won't put up when called to do so. Not shocked at all.

I agree that Powell is doing the right thing. Economy is cruising, inflation looks ominous, smart not to lower rates at this time. It's just strange to root for higher rates to help your savings account. 4% isn't even all that high historically like you said. I had a large amount of cash for about 6 months in the late 90s and remember getting over 6%. But this was only until I invested it in other places. Market returns will be higher. Besides at 4% you're really only at 1.3% with inflation at 2.7%. if inflation spikes and the economy is still doing well we could see higher rates which again wouldn't be anything to cheer since inflation erodes your cash savings.

Bro has a mil in a savings acct

BND - Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF https://share.google/c4oYcgV1NMJZoQA1R Can you even read?

BND is up 4% ytd dummy.

Depends on the type but generally higher than a savings account.l, greater than 4%

Well I'm glad I could teach you the difference between a high yield savings account and fixed income and how fixed income responds to rate changes
