cyclone24 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Lol… the market is good, GDP is through the roof, jobs numbers are fine. The economy is just fine. You have a bunch of goofball liberals that suddenly care about how expensive things are. But they’re also the same people that want $30 an hour to make you a coffee so I take it with a huge grain of salt. Quote

thegeneral Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Economic numbers in 2024 were pretty much inline with 2025. Nominee Trump told us 2024 was the worst and we were dead as country. Quote

seafoam1 Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Oct. 2025. Under President Donald J. Trump’s bold leadership, America’s manufacturing sector is surging forward with unprecedented momentum. In the past week alone, major corporations have unveiled billions of dollars in new investments to onshore production and create thousands of high-quality American jobs — building on a wave of commitments that underscore the Trump Administration’s vision for American economic dominance. Stellantis announced a $13 billion investment in the U.S. — the largest single investment in the company’s history. The automaker plans to expand its U.S.-based production by 50% over the next four years, re-opening its plant in Belvidere (Illinois), and adding production at its Toledo (Ohio), Warren (Michigan), Detroit (Michigan), and Kokomo (Indiana) plants. The investment will bring 5,000 new jobs and the production of five new vehicles to the U.S. Whirlpool Corporation announced a $300 million investment in its U.S. laundry manufacturing facilities. The investment is part of the company’s commitment to “grow its American manufacturing footprint,” and will create as many as 600 new jobs at its Ohio-based manufacturing facilities. The GE Aerospace Foundation announced a $30 million workforce skills training program to prepare the next generation of its U.S.-based workforce. The investment, which is aimed at training the American workforce with the skills necessary for advanced manufacturing within the industry, is a direct result of the Trump Administration’s push to encourage workforce training skills and development. These investments come on top of major announcements from Pfizer, GSK, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, Amgen, Hitachi, ABB, and many others in recent weeks — and join the scores of other public and private investments made in the U.S. since President Trump took office. It’s all part of President Trump’s commitment to revitalizing manufacturing, onshoring production, and setting the stage for a new era of American prosperity. After years of career politicians selling out American workers for cheap foreign labor, the historic level of investment secured by the Trump Administration is reinforcing the U.S. as the global leader of innovation and growth.

thegeneral Posted January 28 Posted January 28 The economy is relatively the same as it was in Biden’s last year. Red flags abound as they have seemed to be for quite awhile if you look. Hopefully they continue to be just that and not impactful events. Quote

dogcows Posted May 2 Posted May 2 The latest casualty of the Trump economy is Spirit Airlines, RIP. Interesting fact: in their 34-year history, they never had a fatal crash. Officially the safest airline in the US. Even Rainman would have felt safe on a flight. Quote

More proof that god looks after fools and drunks. Also, most liberals would never be caught dead on one of their flights, even though it was safer and cheaper. Quote
