Unfortunately, the Democrats lit an economic hand grenade and threw it into America once it was apparent that they were likely going to lose Congress majorities and the Presidency in 2024. The grenade was an orgy of wasteful government spending and bureaucratic regulatory sabotage of the productive private economy. All of the lawfare against DOGE and sabotaging of repeal of strangulating government regulation that has continued into 2025 is part of the same treasonous Democrat effort to precipitate a hyperinflationary economic depression that will collapse the entire economy and, along with it, the government. Then the Democrat swine and its MSM will blame Trump and the Republicans for it. Then the Democrats will become the Hitler-esque figures who will promise to relieve the suffering if they are just given dictatorial power.

Against this horrific backdrop, the Trump Administration can either do nothing, or it can essentially choose to pursue the very unpleasant, but not socio-economically fatal option of allowing a significant deflationary recession to eliminate the inflationary monster that has been created. The current turmoil and the downward trend in the equity markets is being caused by both uncertainty as to whether or not an economic downturn will be inflationary or deflationary, and by general uncertainty as to the long-term socio-political survival of the U.S. as a functioning free-market Republic. An old economic axiom is that equity markets hate instability and gold loves it. If the SCOTUS would step in and bitch-slap the leftist lawfare judges to the ground, the equity markets would stabilize and likely even increase, and gold markets would likely stabilize or even decline some. But, of course, such an action would finally consign what is left of the "Democrat" Party into the political wilderness and end their treasonous wannabe revolution. The sad fact is that it is the Democrat Party, its leftist judges (including leftist SCOTUS "Justices"), Democrat politicians, and the leftist rabble supporting them WANT a Civil War--it now is their only certain path to regaining power. Weird, how there are nary any conservatives advocating violence beyond defending their own lives and property, but the Democrat Party is full of swine advocating, funding, encouraging, inciting, and participating in violence all across the U.S.

It would take some highly placed people in the Administration who are Austrian economists. Very few of them. But that's what you gotta do. Let the system correct itself.

You have very well described the problem that will destroy the USA. Almost half of the country have no future without the government taking care of them.

What to do?

Useless eaters.........this is an old term made modern by such ghouls as Yuval Harari, Klaus Schwab's techno side kick at WEF. The government worker is the prime example of unproductive useless eaters. .

Do you think it could have something to do with a steadily increasing share of our national wealth concentrated in the hands of the wealthiest 10%, while the combination of costs for housing, insurance, medical care, food, and child day care make it increasingly difficult for the poorest 25% to make ends meet?

The top 10% hold 67% of all household wealth in this country today. That compares to 56% in 1989.

That is the way of the world, unfortunately. If the wealthiest 10% did not do what they do, there would be little for those bottom folks to do. That is a basic lesson of the Rust Belt.

There is a phenomenon at play here that I hate. I saw it first in Newport RI, and have noticed it at ski areas, and tourist areas everywhere. Carmel-by-the Sea is the worst I have seen

Tourist areas are damned expensive for the people that live there as the 10% come in and escalate all the prices for everything, because they can. Resort fever makes things difficult for the rest of us. Californication has driven prices here, in Colorado, Oregon and Washington through the roof.

The top 10% pay most of the taxes, the bottom 50% pay none.

Wow, what a heroic view of life. Just let things happen. Whatever!

10% of your income right off the top to the Church, Mosque, or Synagogue of your choice. If you refuse to pick one, one will be picked for you by Gort and other such galactic robot policemen.

They're Marxists, and that's what Marxists do.
