Trump's Iran "Deal"

[Idolater]

Well, sure you would have, but I don't recall any other administration having vanity merchandise stores like this for gullible patrons to waste their dollars on junk, or gas prices being at an all time high, inflation rates through the roof, depleted oil reserves thanks to a war that was apparently won in March and is yet still going on escalating consumer prices as a result etc etc.

Are you happy with the state of this ongoing war?

It's extremely important to engage Iran militarily rn. We didn't get into this because we're bored. We got into this because it's extremely important to engage Iran militarily rn.

You get your information from late night television talking points. Or from the internet. Or from some left-slanting rag "newspaper."

Inflation rates are not through the roof, they are so low that they're nearly low enough to start lowering the price of money. Not quite, but it's almost that low.

If someone wants to buy a MAGA hat, why shouldn't they be allowed to?

etc., etc.

Wait, what? I'll let Arthur answer for himself (even though I have a good guess what he'll say) but you included "the internet" in there.

Does that mean you don't get information from the internet?

They're not that low.

It's not whether someone should or shouldn't be allowed to.

It's whether the West Wing should be hawking Trump merch.

(NOT the White House gift shop, Trump's personal merch stand - with Trump 2028 hats, no less.)

The next move will be an increase in rates.

Incidentally, congrats is in order today as US national debt surpasses 40 trillion!

Has any other president referred to fallen soldiers as "suckers" or "losers"?

Ah, the same old fake news.

You need to stop getting your information from bogus sources.

Maybe, but see above, where @annabenedetti (Anna Brain-a-Deady) gives us a chart of inflation the last three years to rebut me. Expand the chart, out to, say, our lifetimes. What's it look like now? It looks just like how I describe inflation, which is the near polar opposite to what @Arthur Brain (Arthur Brain-a-Deady; Anna's brother) claimed. Even if we do next raise the price of money, it will still be a very low historic price for money, again, expand the chart of the interest rate the Federal Reserve controls out to our lifetimes. Interest rates are quite low historically, even though they're not as low as they were within the past 10 years. That's OK. All variables vary.

Don't forget the implied obligations that don't qualify as national debt. We owe future payments too, based on our social welfare system, that aren't counted in the 40 trillion which is an auditable quantity of money. The future obligations aren't auditable but we know they're higher than zero, and that should get counted somewhere when we're perturbed about the national debt (which incidentally constitutes something like a national leverage rate of no more than 33%, probably closer to 25%, but could we really say it's not 20%? which isn't bad at all; for example, homeowners are somewhat leveraged in their home ownership, by their mortgage; at first it's 80% leveraged or more, and then it lowers over decades until you pay off the mortgage and you're leveraged 0%; we are leveraged as a country at something like 20-33%; it isn't a disaster or crisis, and it wouldn't be even if we were leveraged 80% and more, as plenty of young first-time homeowners show us over time), because it is real, it's a bill that's going to come due, and we're going to have to pay it.
