We could start by not intentionally breaking things
- bobmcnamara 2y agoNo, that was the platform.
- WeylandYutani 2y agoWhy do Americans want to break things anyway? The economy was doing fine, unemployment was low. What is the trigger that made half Americans go nuts? There does not seem to be a rational cause unlike 1860.
- JohnFen 2y agoI don't think Americans, broadly, do. I think the Trump crowd and his oligarchs do, as part of their bid to cement their wealth and power.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoThe economy was doing fine... as an economy. But for a whole lot of people, the economy was not doing fine for them. Those people want a change.
- sayasen 2y agoAs the article states we were at 124% debt to GDP ratio in Dec 2024. Since 1981, 98% of economies that reached 130%, defaulted. Trump came into office with the economy about to go off a cliff and the administration is now desperately trying to course correct via any means possible. It's highly likely it won't work and we are screwed anyways from decades of out of control government spending and corruption. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
