@SarasotaSlim Watch the video clip of Pelosi from 1996 talking about it. |

@joe pockets
I think you are right. I hope not for everyone’s sakes. But hard to see otherwise. |

@wallstreetcappers I was not condescending. You always choose to take it that way. I just try to keep you focused on the topic. |

@wallstreetcappers No sir. Not a dead end question. I did not see if you even admitted there was a problem? Did I miss that answer? I did not see if you answered if you agreed with what previous presidents had tried to do. Did I miss that answer? |

Yessir. That is partly true. But there are several other factors that lead up to that negative GDP that would propose that we are already in a recession. A lot of times recessions will be more clearly seen in hindsight or well into the midst of it.
For example, retail sales falling off, unemployment rising, income contracting, or a drop in manufacturing. These can be some of the leading indicators. Then those numbers would catch up and be reflected in the GDP growth numbers. Of course, all economists and financial folks (like investors) will not agree on when it started, ended, or what its worst point was. This is especially true for the average citizen. Because different things affect different folks at different times and to a different degree.
That is the most popular definition. But I would not call it the ‘classical one’. For example, The NBER is the one that sets the ‘official’ entry and exit dates for them. Their definition is a bit more nuanced. They simply say it a a period over a few months where there is a significant decline in economic activity. But they couch it by saying it is normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production and sales.
That is why I say at this time it is difficult to say for sure because of the various factors. But it would not be surprising to see that we are in one or about to be in one. |

I answer a solid percentage of your barrage given that you are poor at making conversation and great at burying me with partisan conjecture. I am not poor at making conversation. You are. I answered your question about have people looked at the government workers and cited what they concluded. Then I asked if you thought there was a problem. That is not good discussion. I also asked what would do differently and you could only say improve the people. How? Why is it not being done? What should be done to the managers that have not been doing that? Nothing from you. I asked if not Musk, who should try to fix it? Nothing from you. That is why it is not a good discussion to you. So, please just use ladder logic and start with the first question. |

@wallstreetcappers For someone who types so much you really do a mediocre job regarding discord and discussion, Then yours is far worse than mediocre. You still haven’t answered of the questions posed to you. A few generalities. But mostly wondering all around to different topics. |

@wallstreetcappers If you are referring to the study that they did on workers. It is directly from the abstract and is very qualified data. Just because you do not agree with theirs studies does not make them unqualified studies. That is what the study sets out and explains and the folks doing it do this for a living. You cannot use just your opinion or your ‘good’ experiences with the workers. Have you done your own study to prover your perception that it is not true. Sometimes it has to be you that is wrong; it cannot be everyone else, including experts that have studied it and given ‘qualified’ data. |

@wallstreetcappers You answered a question with unqualified data, I asked for more than a set of numbers as I am not interested in blind unqualified data. What question and what unqualified data? I will answer it again with qualified data. |

@wallstreetcappers As far as your question(s), go back and read the answers again. |

Lets have discussion and discord not phantom pocket experts and numbers with no context or details. Do better...for someone who demands an expose to validate your messages are not meeting the mark. I was not answering your question with that post. I was presenting you data and questioning you where you stood with that as a comparison for a starting point. It just seems you are against trying to fix it now because a Republican is trying to fix it. |

@wallstreetcappers Yes, that is fine — to the extent that they are ‘blowing it up’. Then the question to you is: how do you fix it? If you wait and let Congress ‘investigate’ it and set up committees to study it — it will never get done. Trump only has a year-and-a-half to do this. The other question is still: if not Musk, then who. Absolutely, you can blow it up. I still am okay with the Hacksaw Jack method. If you do not think there is a problem in government with excess folks, non-performing folks and waste — then of course you think it is all wrong. Sure, of course you make people better. But if the managers have not been doing it — then fire those managers. It almost had to be punishing in some way. That is exactly what should be expected by a worker for poor performance. Most of those jobs are not hard to do at all. So, if they are really needed — replace them with someone that will do that job. You first have to see that there is a problem. Then you have to address it in a very quick time table. I am sure if Trump does not ‘perform’ the voters will make sure to let him know soon enough. Again, you cannot just say that folks need to be developed to know how to perform and do their job, or to simply work or be kind to customers. This is common sense in every other job. |

I am asking you to compare. You are knocking one and not saying exactly what is better. Was theirs better or no? Please re-read my original reply, what the crap are you comparing? Can you give comprehensive comparisons with detail and insight? I am not interested in some numbers you tossed up there without context. Please resubmit your research with more detail and clarity for a proper response. I am very disappointed with this poor submission lacking detail and analysis, you can do better than this. For someone who demands a dissertation response, this stuff is way beneath your requirements...do better. This was a stand alone reply. It was as in answer to a direct question. |

@wallstreetcappers I guess the first step is to even admit that there is a problem. |

Your logic stops when you force a narrative with more characteristics which are dissimilar than are similar. I guess you have one thing that is similar, private sector is people working and government sector is people working, there you go a solid correlation right there. What else are you going to compare it to? Not the other countries I gave you the examples of with their TSAs I hope. That would not work either, because they are more efficient as well. |
