Stock market is down

Rick Scott at the Republican National Convention©IMAGN
A discovery from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has revealed that $4.7 trillion in Treasury payments remain unidentified and untraceable. Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Roger Marshall (R-KS) are aiming to solve the issue by introducing the Locating Every Disbursement in Government Expenditure Records (LEDGER) Act. The proposed law mandates the U.S. Treasury to implement a traceable system for federal spending.

So, just curious here, while BOTH Republicons & Democraps have been there for how many years? Neither party has noticed ( $4.7 TRILLION ) is missing and cannot be accounted for ???????

How much are we paying these clowns to run the country.........Shock & Awe........is an understatement

How dare you question the status quo "Trumpian"?

Phony - the 4.7 trillion was not proven by data - usual Trumpian exaggeration from the mouth of Elon- and the exiting Elon will be the fall guy for the false claims and fallout from DOGE .

Hard to prove where the money went if there are no records, which means you would be supportive of the LEDGER act your senator is sponsoring?

So the Dems are switching from race warfare to class warfare?

Billionaires?? hardly any of those . Why not Millionaires?? Oh… because most millionaires are blue state Dems.

10 percent richest of the public owns 88 percent of the stock market

The next 40 percent owns 12 percent of the stock market

The bottom 50 percent is in debt.

At the end of 2025, the individual portions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expire all at once. Without congressional action, 62 percent of filers could soon face a tax increase relative to current policy in 2026. At the same time, the price tag for extending the 2017 Trump tax cuts is in the trillions

Budget Reconciliation: Tracking the 2025 Trump Tax Cuts

President Trump has called for permanent extension of the 2017 tax cuts, additional policies including no taxes on tips, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits for retirees, and has also promised higher taxes on US imports through a series of new tariffs.

And why is this so? Because Trump, in his first term, made the working folk and middle class's tax cuts temporary and the wealthy's/corporate tax cuts permanent.

a clue to where Trump's real allegiances lies. He throws out cultural distinctions like omg maybe a high school student might use a bathroom to distance from how much his policies hurt his own base. ? -

We can't afford the tax cut now, unfortunately, if we want to pay down the debt. Trumo should get the corporate tax cut raised with adding a penalty for outsourcing jobs and only lift it if they create or bring jobs back here, which is what he should have done the first rime.

Screw all of the politics from the usual suspects...this is a stock market thread.

Just remember the old saying from Baron Rothschild...."Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if it's your own."

When everyone else is selling and running away, its usually a great time to double down on good stocks.

Many of you may not know this. Many people make money trading stocks daily. They try to buy low and sell higher in one single trading day. Maybe 2 trading days in the stock market.

My point to you is that is what they do for a living. They are called day traders. Some have been known to jump out of windows to end their life.
