seafoam1 2,799 Posted September 3, 2023 We'll see...Go biden and his shlt policies. Liberals hate small business and the middle class. Quote O'Leary Ventures chairman Kevin O'Leary is warning that the economic policies of the Biden administration are about to put a significant squeeze on small businesses. The "Shark Tank" star joined "Fox & Friends" to warn that the month of September will usher in a chaotic time for the economy due to high interest rates. "We've got the CHIPS and Science Act. Where's that money going? Behemoth giant companies in the S&P 500. The Inflation Reduction Act, another trillion not even printed yet. All going to big guys. Now, that's great. They represent 40% of the jobs in America, the S&P 500. Everybody knows the S&P 500 is the biggest index in the world. But 60% of America is small business. That's where 60% of the jobs come from. We've given nothing to them. And so they're struggling because the Fed is raising rates up to 5.5% in a matter of months." Although the U.S. economy has seen some respite from record inflation, O'Leary has been warning in recent weeks that there is a "crisis emerging" for U.S. small businesses. O'Leary recently traveled to Capitol Hill to talk to "everybody" he could, cautioning about a liquidity crisis. "We have a crisis emerging. … I'm talking about companies with five to 500 employees, which represent over 60% of our economy," O'Leary said. "If you're in the S&P 500, you have no trouble financing your business. You can't say that about small business anymore. The cost of capital has gone through the roof." He said small business owners will be "cut off at the regional bank level." "They're not lending. The loan books closed down. The rates that he pays for money have gone from 4-5% to 11-17%, and we're not talking about them. But you're going to hear a lot of people crying about this in the next few months." https://www.foxnews.com/media/kevin-oleary-warns-chaos-begin-us-economy-wake-smell-roses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cdub100 3,836 Posted September 3, 2023 Yeah, that's what the fed wants. They need the economy to slow so they can get inflation under control. Powell has said the labor market is still too hot. Unfortunately, people need to lose jobs and some companies need to go under. This crash is by design. When it gets bad enough the Fed will pivot and start easing again. IMO that's when the real crash happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultra Max Power 214 Posted September 3, 2023 If you really want to understand what he is getting at watch the segment on foxnews. It really boils down the fact that small banks fund/loan small business. When that same business that used to borrow money at 5% is now borrowing at 20%, they don't have the margins to sustain that. No money to grow or expand. They have basically cut off the lifeline and its on a matter of time until they die. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with all of that, but I think the feds number 1 goal (even if they won't admit as much) is to knock home prices down. Charts speak much louder than words. https://www.imagebam.com/view/MEOH6HK Sure, we all like to see our homes appreciate by 10's of thousands every year, but unless you sell, it's an unrealized gain. The only people that realize those gains are the county you live in (property taxes) & the company you use for homeowners insurance. Another thing is the explosion in low income/affordable housing construction for the past 10+ years. You all realize who pays for that right ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need a huge government investment in our economy. I would start with nuclear fusion. We also need major immigration reform and student debt relief.
