The Trickle Down Crash is real.

[safeinOhio]

I'm not blaming Тяцмр. The Tax mistake was NeoLiberal Economics. The Resident and the Repubs used it screw us. They already had plans to use drop in tax dollars to screw us out of MC and SS.

1. at some point we must see all this mess as a whole.

Intentional.

The destruction of America.

We've been suckers; they've used our strengths (tolerance, patience, goodwill) against us.

2. Economic shock

3. What is NeoLiberal Economics?

The crash is caused by uncertainty due to trade chaos, the drawing out of trillions of dollars from circulation with the "tax cut," the reduction of real wages, the knowledge that everyone is going to be shocked when they get a tax bill in January and February, and no one will be buying anything.

I see all the CNBC pundits are carrying Individual 1's water and saying it is the rate hikes, but rate hikes and drops are always anticipated and are always built into the system long before they happen. In fact, the Fed signaled with this latest hike that they will be raising interest rates more slowly than planned, so that - believe it or not - was probably a positive force on the market.

It's trump, kids. And the bill coming due for the pillaging the republicans did on the economy last year.

Happens in every republican administration like clockwork.

5. Neoliberalism is a trendy word for

What used to be called lassaize-faire economics... austerity, tax cuts, deregulation, etc.

I've noticed some "progressives" like use the term to imply American liberals support such policies, but late 20th century liberalism and neoliberalism are not the same, of course.

7. Ah! Couldn't figure it out and I have an Economics degree! (Though I got it a long, long time ago.)

9. Just think Ayn Rand and Chicago School of Economics.

15. *gets shivers up spine*

[Skidmore]

8. Always confused me how liberalism

managed to be a word worked into essentially Tea Party political ideas. Not liberal by a long shot and those who use this label are seeking to divide the left. Not constructive.

13. The origin is in that it describes the "liberalization" of markets...

...making them less controlled or confined (by tariffs, regulations, monopolies granted by kings or governments, etc.).

Entirely unrelated to political liberalism, but sloppy terminology tends to be the order of the day once jargon "gets loose in the wild".

[Adrahil]

14. Right. Not an inaccurate term, but....

Very confusing to use it in a modern American political context.

[empedocles]

4. 'Tricle Down Crash' is a nice label

[Drunken Irishman]

6. I still blame Trump. He signed it. He owns it. #TrumpSlump.

[safeinOhio]

10. I think for the most part...

Repubs really hate him, but he is the ticket to get that part of their agenda passed. Without him it wouldn't happen, but it is their wet dream.

[Downtown Hound]

11. You can blame both. It's okay. n/t

[roamer65]

12. I think we have another 6 to 7,000 points to go.

Get ready for the Trump Slump, folks.

[Xolodno]

16. That's not correct....

Trump in the Cyrillic Alphabet is...

Трумп

But other than that...yeah.
