Gallen5862 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The New Bill also included money for Disaster relief for North Carolina and Florida and other areas hit by Hurricanes. It also has Money for California because of the fire. Will Democrat Senators want to vote against the Disaster relief in the bill? It could be hard to tell their voters that they didn't want the disaster relief money. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a true blue Democrat, I will say that the Dems shouldn’t vote for anything with $1 of stupid wall funding unless the rest of the bill is a wish list of things Dems want. A long one.

PleaseBlitz Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The stock market is tanking. The broader economy will slow down next year, but probably/hopefully not like 2008. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with unemployment as low as it is our economy that fragile to start dropping numbers by month like 08? No doubt in my mind there will be a recession because of these tariffs pushing over, will be interesting if those are first to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techboy Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Okay, then, serious post. In the US, the group that determines recessions is the NBER. They don't predict it before. They won't even make a statement about it during. They only make the determination afterwards. MONTHS afterwards. https://www.nber.org/cycles/jan08bcdc_memo.html A lot of people need to slow their roll. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a dime for the dumb wall is coming from US taxpayers. Mexico will pay for it, like Trump promised. 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
