[@John-tm9zf]

Actually 150 presidential scholars said Trump was the worst president. Von Shitzenpants

[@Fried52]

Biden is the most accomplished and productive President since LBJ. But in truth it's just the same old story. Republican Presidents leave the country broken and Democrat Presidents fix it. I know people have short term memory loss but try to think back just a few years ago to the year 2020. More than a MILLION Americans died on Trump's watch. More Americans than in all the wars we have ever fought. The economy had cratered, the stock market crashed, and unemployment soared. Supply chains were broken and on top of the upside down tariffs Trump imposed on everything from Agriculture to Technology, Trump ignited the inflation we have all had to live with. The only reason inflation rates came in low for 2020 was because we were ready to fall into a depression. Biden had to inherit all that in addition to inheriting a 3.1 trillion dollar budget deficit from fiscal 2020 and another 2.8 trillion for fiscal year 2021 passed in 2020. Had it not been for the Fed putting the pedal to the metal we would have been in a greater depression than Bush left for Obama. Same old story Republicans leave the country broken and Democrats wind up fixing it. You could go back to Herbert Hoover it's always the same.

What is the inflation rate using the 1970 formula? Gotta be way, way higher!

[@girlwriteswhat]

What about the market valuation (~$51 trillion) compared to GDP ($26 to $27 trillion)? That ratio is well above baseline, suggesting a bubble. Right now, all of Warren Buffet's money is in short term treasury bonds, and he's said he'd put it there even if the yield was as low as 1%. He's not making much profit, but he isn't risking losing a bunch of money if the bubble pops rather than gently deflates. Short term bonds make him agile. He's poised to buy the dip on short notice once he identifies the likely survivors, and if a Wall Street disaster sends interest rates soaring, he can roll his bonds over within a couple months to cash in on those higher rates. I'm not saying this is going to happen. I'm just saying Buffett appears to think it will.
