”The economy will tank“ will eventually pan out. Some people make entire careers of having predicted all 10 of the last 3 recessions.

The economy is going to tank for real sooner or later - that's the business cycle. That's baked in. And all it take for the stock market to tank is for a bit of reality to puncture the "magical money" thought balloon that drives the wealthy investors. It's just a question of when.

Hard to bet against this economy with all the fiscal stimulus. We are fundamentally not paying the taxes for the services we’re getting.

And if that’s correct and the economy isn’t actually to blame — if people are just pointing at the economy in surveys as a stand-in for their bad feelings about Trump 2.0 — then the GOP may have made a *much* larger political mistake than they realize.

Not everything is "charts" vs "vibes". This is straightforwardly "is there stagflation" and the answer (so far) is no. Which is not what I expected a year ago!

Because a "great" economy, in a lot of minds, is one that doesn't invest most of its resources into making your life worse.

Wrong, or it hasn’t hit yet? Yes, I realize it might not.

People have a hard time with this. It's a strong economy with persistent inflationary pressures. And if you aren't exposed to the strong economy part, you're probably having a bad time.
