Anime Schoolgirl posted:reminder that the arrival of the great depression was a comically unpredictable affair when all of the factors responsible (massive wealth inequality, unprecedented corporate welfare, desertifying farmland, lack of social programs) went on for long enough to be dismissed by everyone except people with one functioning empathy brain cell, right up until the economy flat loving froze all of a sudden because of one aforementioned factors hitting their critical point and the value of the USD went down, down, down Yeah, we are in for free fall and that concerns me. China is like lol, jk, you can play the fool if you want to America, but we will run you if you let us. If Russia can, why not us?

ScrubLeague posted:There's going to be a surge of deficit spending, followed by drastic cuts to government funded services. This will result in a few years of significant positive growth that will be entirely reversed when we go back to war for oil, leaving sustainable options years behind because hey, it's cheap enough to drive your Ford. The US Sovereign debt rating will be cut, interest rates will outpace inflation, and we enter another worldwide recession by 2022. Nods. At which point my party will blame the poor gently caress who has to clean up the mess.

DrPossum posted:a literal war with china may actually be a bad thing when you really think about it Oh, I agree. I just also agree that if such a thing should occur it will be in large part due to Trump's idiocy concerning foreign policy.
