Obviously people don't agree with you about their own personal finances. You understand how you come off when you say "let me help educate you?" People stop listening to your points when all they can hear is your pompous attitude

Trump administration tells lower class:

'Let them eat cake' The Collegian

Ballrooms and Arches.

Trump does not care about the people he serves. He cares more about his fancy ballroom and throwing parties than about starving children in America.

this was a talking point put out by the WH that people regurgitated here without looking at the economics involved. No sense in continuing to rehash this again

Yup.

People were regurgitating what Davis Ingle said.
A White House assistant presss secretary.

We seem to get an awful lot of that here.
Mindless regurgitation.

It used to be that companies would put bids in the market to buyback their own stock and "engineer" their earnings. This also provided liquidity and was a shock absorber when markets were falling out of bed. Those buybacks have now been replaced by massive spending on Ai.

ie.) Amazon spending $150 Billion on Cap-Ex last year and guiding to $200 Billion for 2026.

As a result, markets aren't as liquid as they used to be.
Hence, the massive risk "off" sell-offs.

Elon now says only AI and Robots can save the USA from going bankrupt.

The new tariff revenues were a huge help, as are 200,000 Federal jobs eliminated, but we still haven't seen the $220 Billion in DOGE-identified cuts enacted through rescission bills. And POTUS suggesting a $1.5 Trillion DOD budget doesn't help. Looks like the MIC is moving double time.

The same people who were saying tariffs were going to be inflationary never mention the fact that AI can be deflationary and that deflation is a bigger threat.

folks care about the economy. That's number one by a long shot….immigration and crime run distant second and third place respectively.

Not so distant.

https://harvardharrispoll.com/press-release-january-2026/

Inflation and immigration are the nation's top two most important issues today, according to American voters. 33% of voters say inflation is the most important issue (-3, Dec. 2025), and 29% of voters say immigration (+3).

The average American is unable to afford buying a home.

76% of renters and non-homeowners don't think they'll ever be able to buy a home.

Only 17% of voters believe now is a good time to buy.
Down from 69% in 2013.

The American Dream has become unobtainable.

Voters concerned about affordability of homeownership, new poll shows | Fox Business

right genius. Not that the average American doesn't watch mainstream news. I got the "less" bit. But my original point was lost and valid in that may people are concerned about the economy and now Fox is reporting on it. Just in the event you weren't watching Fox ….
