Sure do.

If it was only a short-term buzz, then why isn't the economy tanking now?

Admit it - you would be ecstatic if a dim-retard was running for re-election on trumpy's economic numbers!

Those pushing the “sugar high” fallacy also don’t realize that the Trump tax cuts aren’t going away soon. The 2017 business tax cuts can’t cause a recession in 2019 or 2020 because they don’t expire until 2025. They aren’t sugar pills.

Understand, that fewer taxes for business means that the money is spent on other things, like wages. Every time it is spent, it gets taxed. Duh! The taxes are cut, the economy grows, and the government gets more money than it did with high taxes. Basic shit, why don't the dumbo Democraps get it? Why, because they stated in today's news that they "want the whole pie".

Five central banks have interest rates set below zero:
  • Japan: -0.10%
  • Sweden: -0.30%
  • European Central Bank: -0.40%
  • Denmark: -0.70%
  • Switzerland: -0.80%

Trump has ramped up calls for negative interest rates. Here's what they are and why they matter.

negative interest rates seems like a weird idea.. it sounded like a banking scam.



you're basically paying an a interest rate to hold a bank product. how so you make money from it, that part I don't get.

During periods of low and/or negative interest rates, bank margins tend to be compressed and their profits are squeezed.
