This is going to get ugly..... Really really fast. Never, EVER VOTE DEMOCRAT AT ANY LEVEL....

Certainly a bad set of measures altogether. But the stock market is still up from Inauguration Day.

Not when you adjust for Inflation........

Agree that Stock Market isn't the best barometer of the economy... But the underlying data on inflation, interest rate hikes, GDP decreases, wage stagnation, inventory issues, energy costs..... This thing is the freaking Titanic with Joe Biden behind the wheel.

I always wondered what happens if you adjust stock market values to reflect the rate of inflation.

I have only ever seen it compared to inflation.

Is that even a thing?

LOL, just sit back and watch

This is what happens when the government prints money, discourages real work, pays for student loans, stops rent payment, people supposedly elect democrats, milquetoast white men and women vote for liberals, we fire police, allow our borders to be overrun with drug dealers, etc.

No hope unless we say NO!!!!!!!!!

Brandon and Company can not possibly be this incompetent This is all being done on purpose.

Sadly almost half the people in this country fully supports this happening. They are all just to stupid to realize that they are very likely to starve while freezing to death.

I get your sentiment but the border and cops don't effect the market to that degree

Inclined to disagree with the six-month check-up as the CHOLOs pen was on fire signing EOs he probably had no clue what he was signing within weeks of taking office.

His regulatory bs, used/new car prices were already climbing, rumbling of logistical bottlenecks, union bs in CA, etc., the boot of the administration and their covid hoax on the throats of the consumer.

Lol. We just had first negative quarter. Do you really believe that will hold up? That's like saying "well, the bow of the boat is still above water", as the Titanic is sinking.

BTW, I was told by a CM who predicted $2 gas that equities would beat inflation.

Is that happening in your opinion?

NASDAQ- 11,364 (-14.8% of when Biden took office... include inflation.... Down 23.3%)

Doing great Brandon... Those dang Ultra-MAGA people in charge of nothing are really messing things up. It's almost like your anti-work, anti-employer, anti-employee, anti-freedom tyranny is failing on every single front.

Jan. 2023 can't get here soon enough....

Bidenflation.

Without the Fed cranking rates back to Zero in mid 2020 and then FJB's unnecessary brrrr the money printer Covid package we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are now.

Trump's stimulus was bad enough. The Dems took all of that into over drive.

Fed's stuck playing ultra-mega catchup now!

I'm just waiting for the next shoe to drop from this joke of an administration - price controls. Because you know that's what they'll try to do next to control inflation.

But hey, this time it'll be (d)ifferent!

You can thank 4 decent years of Trump policy for that. The economy did really well under him, and for all their wokeness Corporate America did well under Trump

Everything FJB has done has a destructive effect on the economy, which isn't surprising because that is what his Marxist handlers want.

now do

"let's see how things are going in the USA if the 3.8 TRILLION dollars of Build Back Bankrupt debt had not been stopped"

by Joe Manchin

at this point is it safe to say that if you defend this administration you are anti american and very stupid?

Why did DallasAg 94 delete everything???
