With these costs trending so nicely downward, just what I predicted they would do, there can almost be no inflation, but there can be a SLOWING of the economy unless Mr. Too Late, a major loser, lowers interest rates, NOW.”

Where are all the rich guys who are bleeding all their money?? Who is gonna stop Trump from this craziness? He is deliberately trashing out the economy, picking fights with all the wrong people. Where are all the "EXPERTS" who could actually do something, including charging Trump with willfully endangering the county's economy? Somebody get up off your asses!!!

My Federal employee Thrift Savings Plan, in preparation for meeting with a prospective financial advisor. I have literally lost $60K from it since Cheeto Hitler took office.
