When does the economy take a noticeable hit from Project 2025's administrative policies?

[I'dluv2]

The actual TDS.

I don't know but firing 300,000 federal workers can't possibly be good for the economy.

What could go wrong with firing a huge chunk of federal workers whose jobs you don't understand or whose work is supported by an unknown number of private companies, and just assuming that these people can get jobs in the private sector and all will be fine?

-Hey if unemployment starts skyrocketing... Fed brings down those interest rates!

We got ourselves a win boys!

Guys?

What's with all the chains and baseball bats?

Somebody probably made him watch “Landman”, so now he’s onboard with the idea that there’s a “magical price of $76/barrel” where oil is priced low enough that consumers continue consuming and buying guzzler trucks/SUV and OPEC won’t flood the market, but still high enough that exploration/ drilling will be profitable. So Trump is shooting for $76.

Landman was FULL of BS misinformation. The windmill rant was so detached from reality as to be farcical.

It is amazing to me that energy companies using the EXACT same playbook as the tobacco companies is successful.

What's so funny is Trumpkin is going to be facing a firing squad from his voters. Virginia has an enormous amount of federal workers for US government offices in Virgina and DC. Also several military installations for all services. That state is the biggest recipient of Govment Gravy.
Can't wait to see the unemployment rates coming up.

Did we have a poll for how soon Trump was going to blame Biden for current inflation. I guess he doesn't understand the rule that you as president own the current economy.

I already just assumed from day 1 that literally anything and everything bad will be blamed on Biden, Obama, or Clinton.

To be fair, Trump didn’t blame Biden for the war in Ukraine, he blamed Zelenskyy for starting it so…

If you equate the market with the economy, then I guess the answer to the poll was 1 month and 1 day.
So less than 3 months, but not within month

I chose 3 months, simply because of the lag between the effect, and reporting of the effect.

200,000 Federal employees have been fired, so far, with many more to come. This does not count those laid off because their companies contracts with the federal government have been cancelled.

The tariffs, both threatened and already in effect, haven't worked through the supply chain to the retail shelf.

It may not be "official" in that Trump may well ban the responsible agencies from reporting actual unemployment, GDP, inflation numbers. It is clear that telling the truth under Trump will either get you fired, sued, or both.

Just a reminder which I will have to post regularly. The economy going into the election was according to the right leaning WSJ "remarkable". All the Trump MAGAts will try to claim Biden gave him a bad economy. Meanwhile Biden inherited a shitty economy but idiots blamed Biden

 

[ivwshane]

Interestingly most of the vote is for within 3 months. I didn’t vote but even 3 months seemed too soon but damn! Looks like I was wrong!
