The only American who won't acknowledge this Administration's failed economic policies is Joe Biden. "Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that?
I would avoid index funds, mutual funds, and specific stocks for the time being. Right now, the best option is a fixed income of five percent. Put money aside for the times when the market really starts to bounce back.
45% of Americans do not invest in the stock market because of lack of guidance. Every year you don't invest, you are falling behind. I’m hitting numbers in the stock market I used to dream of… Going from $50k to $600k in my portfolio is surreal all thanks to insights from my financial advisor.
Your adviser must be really good, I hope it's okay to inquire if you're still collaborating with the same adviser and how I can get in touch with them?
She goes by ‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy’ I suggest you look her up. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did
Thank you! I entered her full name into my browser, and her website came out on top. I filled her form and i hope she gets back to me soon.
Just a reminder, those who choose to ignore the lessons of history condemn themselves to relive it.
That’s why they’re cheering for the Hitler wannabe
And not only themselves, unfortunately.
Trump doesn't ignore history. He is too stupid to know it.
On this issue, the Federal Communications Commission should require Fox "News" to tell its audience the truth. To not do so strikes me as inexcusably irresponsible.
Wasn't it Reagan who removed the Fairness Doctrine? It required media to present both sides opinions when they weren't just reporting news.
I was just thinking - national news programs won't give you this information - finally stopped watching evening news since they constantly give him a chance to give his opinions and put down our current President .It's disgraceful ....
You should investigate what Obama changed about media when he was in office. It was all part of his brainwashing, destroying America plan.
That would be a first ...
Ronald Regan ended that power of FCC

Exactly 💯 percent with you on this.
in bad times, the rich get richer.
A couple of immediate effects:
1) WalMart would go out of business.
2) Every country on earth would instantly levy tariffs on U.S. products.
3) Food prices would double

He wants them to work the way he says.
It's all in the wording. Trump said... he'd impose tariffs on china's goods. To his idjits, it sounds like China will pay them. That's all trump needs. The reality doesn't matter. It's all in the wording
Someone else took his exams for him when he went to The Wharton School of Business.
To replace our tax code with tariffs is a new level of stupid
the way the media just casually talks about it is an added layer to this that makes it so frustrating, because proof of their malpractice is the fact that this is going to be our lives for 5 for months
Walmart will go bankrupt. Were most of the Trumpers buy their crap.
He has never figured out that WE pay the tariffs.
Its just switching how we collect taxes. It would be implementation of a sales tax instead of an income tax. Which is beneficial to you as you need income you do not always need to buy something. The problem with this is we would have to start executing business differently. We would make our country a business instead of a state. It would work but to much would have to change for it to.
It would be raising taxes on the poor who do need to buy things and cutting taxes on billionaires who do not. So no wonder chumps like it so much!
Every U.S. President had previously been a Governor, Senator, Representative, or General, with two exceptions: Herbert Hoover and Donald Trump.
Yeah , they have the business background in common . But republicans ALWAYS say that a businessman could run the country better than a politician .

Tariffs are terrible for consumers.
But they're great for working and middle-class Americans who will once again not have to compete with a billion slave-wage Chinese.
@@user-hx2wx7mk8n I hope you are not saying that out of one side of your mouth while the other side is complaining about inflation. The reason so many American jobs ( mine was one of them) went out of the country was because the American consumer wanted cheaper products. Tariffs raise prices. Even many American made products use imported parts.
@@MikeBrown-ex9nh You think the reason the powers-that-be sent millions and millions of good jobs overseas is because they 'cared about the American consumer'? C'mon, man.

Trump thinks sharks hang around electric boats waiting for them to sink from their weight.
Aaaaaaahahahahaa...this is an excellent comment!! 😅😅
Trump is afraid that his weight will sink a boat.

tarrif are basically a permanent sales tax surge charge at the federal level for poor people
Everybody hates high prices, and that's Trump's only economic proposal.
How stupid can you be. Can't you see what Biden has done to our economy? What a looser.
I'm not an American but even I've heard and read about the Smoot-Hawley Act and how bad it was. If Americans themselves do not know about this, I shudder to think about the level of education among Trump supporters.
That level of education is in the minus scale. Willful ignorance, inherent stupidity and with no curiosity to question the drivel IQ45 spews
It’s a long term tactic by the Republicans to dumb down Americans.
It’s working, unfortunately.
Vol, I'm an American and you are spot on. I break out in a cold sweat thinking about the same thing.
Trump has said that he loves the uneducated. Unfortunately, the MAGA crowd also votes for him.
The average trump supporter dropped out of school at the third grade....
Biden and his proxies need to clearly explain this to the American people in a very easy to understand way.
Because the people who need to know won't be tuning in.

Question: What does Trump have in common with Herbert Hoover?
Answer: They are the only 2 presidents to leave office with fewer jobs than when they came into office. And they were both Republicans.
Trump left office with the worst jobs record since the great depression.
trump left office under the auspices that his cabinet and VP were stronlgy considering 26th amendmenting him because he launched a coup. I dont think that's brought up enough

I'm just hanging on to Jim Cramer's words about opportunities in volatile times so perhaps, I either wait for a recovery or pick profitable investments to substitute for my loss.
I agree that hiring a portfolio coach is a smart move and that in this case, patience is your best friend. I make a lot of investments and cannot afford to take the risk of doing it alone. Instead, since the rona outbreak began in late 2019, my portfolio has been maintained by a qualified advisor. I only need about $86k more to reach my three million dollar ROI goal.
Magnificent! Could you please provide additional information about the coach who mentors you? might save me a lot of money

The people who needs to listen to this, are sadly not watching MSNBC.
Yeah they are, they just don't care.....
Moderate & Independent voters will understand the message. It'll always be lost on Maga morons.
They’re being brainwashed by Fox.
Actually some of them are here but they don't believe what they hear -- as evidenced by the trolling and insulting and lying they do in the Comments.
Life was better under Trump and that's why he will be our next president. It's pretty simple now isn't it?
Yeah, a guy who managed to steer three casinos into bankruptcy knows just what to do to keep America’s economy humming along.
Watching this from outside America is hilarious 🤣
There's a perfect balance between education and entertainment.
Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it.
President Biden is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my entire life.
Say that to the parents of children killed by illegals you looney
LOL
Totally agree!💙💙💙
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pestilentruth2164 Thanks comrade.
I am not American, but this was a brilliant history and Exposé of taxation being taken away and replaced with tariffs. I knew nothing about these things before, but I certainly understand it now, thank you.
Mr O’Donnell, you are the best reporter.
That whole “we need a businessman in the White House” was one of the worst ideas to ever take hold
Actually, it may not be. What the country didn't need was a failed, purported businessman with multiple bankruptcies. Heck, he even managed to bankrupt a casino.
@@catherinedeboer3238
Countries are not businesses. They don't function is the same way.
@@catherinedeboer3238 Herbert Hoover was also a businessman. He's the other guy who thought tariffs were awesome.
Remember that he has been convicted of business fraud and is well known for not paying his bills
It’s like saying I don’t want a doctor to do my heart surgery, I want a businessman 🤪
Everyone here. Yay consumerism. I listen to these hacks and laugh. We used to be producers now we just sit back and complain. Sorry but every single person doesnt need access to plastic BS.
I like economists that aren't incompetent.
Perfect example of the axiom: those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
trump cultist: biden destroyed the economy!
trump: i want to increase the cost of everything you buy by 85% minimum.
trump cultists: HES A GENIUS!
THey are that ignorant. Thus why he refers to them as "the less educated".
biden destroyed the economy and country ! 100 % agree with you on that 💯💯
Well Biden did destroy great economy that Trump created
😂 the people who mutilate and crossdress their children are calling normal people cult members😂
Donald Trump did a great job as President Joe Biden took the title from Barack Obama as the worst president in the history of the United States.
Watch this everybody.
I challenge you to a debate over who the better president was Donald Trump or Joe Biden do you accept my challenge.
We both know you will not accept my challenge rather you're shivering in your invisible safe space hoping it all goes away.
Biden, I have increased the cost of everything you buy by 85%, yeah I did that, the man is a genius.
Wait wasn't tariffs the reason for the Boston tea party, Do I have that right?
We are living the best economy now!!
Vote him out. Vote the GOP out. Send all the perps to jail.
So jail the Democrats?
@@davemichael6994No, JohnYoung wants one party rule.
TRUMP
The election is rigged - unless I win
The News is fake - unless it is flattering
Everything is a hoax - unless I say it
Nepotism is bad- - unless it benefits my family
I am rich - But you can’t see my taxes
I am smart - But you can’t see my grades
I am successful - But my businesses fail
I’m innocent - I am suing to keep records from the January 6th committee.
