We're in the middle of the death of the dollar. We've been warned about it for years, and now it's happening. I think that everything Trump is doing is to stave off collapse.

It's not completely hopeless yet. Slash military spending levels, reform SS and Medicare, slash welfare spending and eliminate 90% of the Federal Government and send it back to the States would be a good start, show the world that the USA is serious about its financial situation and we might be able to see some recovery and reductions in debt. Is Trump willing to do this? Maybe? Congress. Not a chance. Too many idiot doofusses like AOC who have no clue how money works.

Think about USAID, the international welfare program for deviants. The USтАЩs attempt to make the world dependent on our welfare. You want all the programs cut, how will that affect the unemployment rate? The Feds have succeeded in making the working class dependent on them, so what happens when they are cut loose. This is going to be painful. 2026 looms near already.

You're pretty optimistic this week!

I think we are witnessing a clever "new facade", where the worst (and least beneficial to both the masses, and the elites) excesses of the Democrats like wokeism, green energy, and open borders are curbed, but the parasitic losses sustained by middle America to make the rich and powerful more-so continue.

After all, an America with a little more order should do better, and all this benefit can be scooped up by big tech, big money, big pharma (even if some of the elites prefer to enrich themselves by impoverishing the masses, because others prefer to enrich themselves by giving the masses illusion we are all together).
