Thank God we have an independent Federal Reaerve. Imagine if some corrupt president like Trump can just print money to juice the economy for his re-election? Not that he’s not trying.

IT’s equal if everyone’s income approaches zero.
Btw, this is about 2.56% daily inflation.

Bernie is nuts, but he has a lot more in common with Trump than people realize. Both are populists that feed on people’s emotion.

There must be a reason why outsiders - Obama,Bernie,Trump(elected out of 16 other CAREER Republicans) are being elected. Statistics do not reflect what is going on with large section of people’s lives & they are not happy with the politicians.
I am happy though US is going alternatively Democrat-Republican, it keeps a sense of balance. Otherwise the country will go left or right like CA has gone left.
Obama is an outsider? Wasn’t he a senator and professional politician?
Hope and Change. He was a senator for 4 years.
Bernie was an independent - never part of both parties.
People are unhappy because of income inequality. It doesn’t matter how much you have, as long as your neighbor has more you will feel super bumped. It’s well documented in psychology studies.
Facebook makes it worse. Looking at people’s vacation pictures in exotic places makes people sad. Facebook should have a settle that only shows misery around the world. That would make people feel good because they see other people are doing even worse.
Slok noted that the “percentage of children earning more than their parents has been falling steadily since 1945.”
And although the original data are from December 2016, more recent reports indicate that the general trend continues.
‘Weighed down by student debt and stagnant wages’In 1955, 70 percent of 30-year-olds were earning more than their parents. Today, only 50 percent of millennials are expected to earn more, with that number likely to go down.

I voted Obama into office. Remember that he said something about being tough to illegal immigration and being tough to outsourcing.
I think Obama doesn’t like illegal immigration nor outsourcing.
“During Obama’s first term, when he was laying the groundwork for what he hoped would be a comprehensive bargain on immigration, his administration aggressively enforced immigration law. ICE arrests peaked at more than 300,000 annually in 2010 and 2011. Deportations from the American interior – in other words, not of people apprehended near the border — surpassed 200,000 in both those years, also about twice the number reached in 2017. Pro-immigrant groups took to calling Obama the “deporter in chief.””
The funny thing is a lot of peoole are a financial house of cards to afford the stuff they post.
Did you go through the posts I linked?
Yes. That’s one factor, maybe he changed definition to fool the voters who voted him for his tough attitude against illegal immigration. At least in the first 2 years of his term, he was very aggressive in deportation from interior US.
Many Obama voters regarded illegal immigration and jobs outsourcing as priority. He beat Hillary on these issues. Trump has some similarities to Obama on these issues
The latest plan is to roll out a new currency that will lop off zeros from the bills in circulation now. The new money was scheduled to hit the street in early August and eliminate three zeros. But Maduro announced late Wednesday that the release would be delayed a couple weeks and that it had been determined that erasing three zeros was no longer enough. Five of them will be dropped, he said.
Drop 5 zeroes every year… Such a great idea. We should drop 3 zeros from dollar too to reduce the debt.
These people are so clueless.
