U.S. Economy

Neither Congress nor President Trump speak anymore about a balanced budget. Instead, the Republicans and Democrats compete with each other to see who can spend the most.

As the US economy slowly deteriorates, the government's response is to intervene and to inflate. This does not end well.

While giddy socialists are proclaiming that Zohran Mamdani's electoral victory is the beginning of a socialist takeover of the U.S., the Democratic Socialists of America have a long way before they can complete their stated mission.

For the past 30 years, the US economy has bounced from one asset bubble to another. The recent Tricolor Holdings and First Brands bankruptcies are just another example of an economy being pumped up by the Federal Reserve.

Once again, the Trump administration’s “dealmaking” on international trade has blown up, this time pulling the rug from under US soybean farmers. This isn’t the first trade policy fiasco, nor will it be the last.

The governmental response to the covid pandemic was to cripple the economy. To compensate for the damage, the Federal Reserve unleashed massive inflation in an attempt to do what the Fed always does in a crisis: bail out the economic actors.

As government spending spins out of control, the Federal Reserve continues to inflate, leaving the economy in a permanent state of inflation. Most Americans will find themselves falling further and further behind.

Ironically, normal market pressures would make housing more affordable, but easy money undermines that prospect.
