  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Trump has always told us how important the rising of the market was in evaluating his first term.

Well, up to a couple of days ago, Trump has led the way to a $4.6 Trillion loss in the stock market. Since announcing the tariffs, the Trump tariffs have cost investors $5 TRILLION more dollars.
===============
We will now see how much more this Trump unforced error will cost. This is already the biggest financial policy error in 95 years. And let's be clear, the very worst is the Trump new idea of tariffs based on the US trade deficits with individual countries. Obviously the 10% import tax will raise prices throughout the world and will help end the division between China and EU, and between China and Asian countries.
================
The reconciliation is being debated. We will see if any Republicans will insist on the end to the reciprocal tariffs as the cost of supporting the bill.

This is reason 1A as why the idea of getting rid of Social Security by investor privatization is a bad idea.
All it takes is one moron in power who thinks he knows more than anyone else, and your savings are in peril.
