@big-ryan the cost of shipping our products and paying the tariffs from overseas to our customers here in the states is now more expensive than manufacturing the actual products. the cost of shipping containers across the ocean is obscene now.
First, we find that during the boom period an increase in unauthorized immigrant worker flows equal to 1% of a local area’s initial employment increased local house prices by 2.2% and increased local rents by 1.4%. The impact on rents is slightly smaller for single-family units and slightly larger for multi-family units.
A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that UIWF can explain about 30% of the total growth in house prices and 20% of the total growth in rents over the boom period for the average local market
the average Joe voter isn't going to look at what someone may or may have not done years ago while in office. Especially if that person isn't running for office now(or in 28). They will look at what the current administration is doing to help matters.
"THAT'S IT! IM NEVER VOTING FOR HERBERT HOOVER!"
Why excuse shit policy? Should people simply dismiss the Democrats' decision to allow open borders and unfettered immigration? I'm pro-legalized Immigration, unlike some on here. That being said, there is clearly a negative impact to housing and rents.
I guess "hey, that was a few years ago, but let's go back to that!" isn't a surprising reaction from some Americans.

No. It absolutely should not be excused and any Democrat running for President in 2028 should be asked about that.... But most voters won't be swayed by what Joe Biden did almost 6 years prior. Hell they won't care about what's happening today. How the country is perceived to look look in 27 and 28 will decide who the next president is.

I don't disagree, but if the approach is a return to 2022, then it may matter more than you think. It really depends on who is running.

Any Dem that gets elected in 2028 is going to open the borders wide open. They'll all say they won't but they will. Won't matter what they say during the campaign and any voter that believes them is an absolute idiot. The entire survival of the Dem party depends on it.
Economic growth was weaker than expected in the second quarter while inflation in June held well above the Fed's goal, the Commerce Department reported Thursday.
Farmers in Iowa told CNBC they are struggling as costs are higher, the prices for crops have dropped and some foreign buyers have disappeared amid Trump’s trade wars.
US farmers are a reliably Republican group, but Trump’s policies in his second term, including sweeping tariffs and the Iran war, have created difficult conditions in the agricultural sector.
Amid these struggles, Trump’s approval with rural voters has sagged, according to recent polling, raising alarms for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

And yet the stock market just keeps climbing... I don't understand how this stuff works, obviously. With a sluggish economy and an uncertain outlook with war and oil and political upheaval, it make no sense to me.
My puny little portfolio has been bumping up against a nice round milestone figure for months and just hit it today.

The stock market is entirely divorced from economic production. People who invest in stocks aren't gambling that the companies they are investing in are going to increase production and drive economic growth. They are gambling that the shares they are buying will be sellable at a higher price in the future.
Investing in stocks is like collecting baseball cards.
