    Trillions in credit card debt as consumers just keep spending. Lucky they keep racking up trillions in debt. Since consumer spending makes up 70% of gdp it looks like the more debt the consumer gets into the better the economy grows.

    Keep spending that money you don't have

  2. Wait till these Trump tariffs kick in and all the unemployed Walmart, Target and others lay off. Combine that with Inflation and its Stagflation Trump style.
     
  3. I wonder what % of that credit card debt was spent on dildos and lube.

    I wish those reports were that specific just to make it funo_O instead of sleepy vague macro economic trends

    Prices already going up . ..the other day ups laid off 20,000, so this could be the start where people finally step back on spending.

    Credit card interest rates are usury, which was approved by Biden.
    Credit cards are used to keep up with Biden's intentional inflation shock.
    Commies are happy to bankrupt everyone, including their own country.

    But for some reason the consumer ALWAYS finds way to keep buying and consuming. Yea we had a bad gdp print this week but come the next gdp results everything will look fine and dandy!
