I keep telling you guys, the continuing decline of business investment is THE econ story for 2018-19.
Some details on those bad 3Q business investment numbers out today. Remember: the tax law was supposed to cause a sustained increase in biz investment. Not only hasn't that happened, but we're now underwater.
(and clearly this isn't just abt the trade wars & uncertainty, but just as clearly: it ain't helping!)
Also pls note: the nationalist neomercantilists in the WH promised us that the tariffs and uncertainty (making the USA a "safe harbor") would boost investment in the USA. Oops.
Now let's take that great chart from @DonFSchneider and my earlier chart (w just the topline biz investment number for 2017-present) to complete the thread...

He sounds just like Bernie & Warren (who are also wrong)
Just one of many examples:

One of the crazy things abt our current moment is that many Very Serious People are re-embracing protectionism as a way to save the Rust Belt, just as we're witnessing first-hand the results of that protectionism.
Oh, and if you'd like a list of all the ways the USG tried to "help" the Rust Belt with protectionism, subsidies or other policies over the last 40 yrs, just lemme know. I have it handy.

So the folks at the Penn Wharton Budget Model have been doing so really interesting on trade lately. (thread) /1
In late July, they "project that even if the recently imposed tariffs are removed, GDP will be permanently smaller relative to having had no trade war." They also find long-term GDP losses from extending the trade war: budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2019/7/… /2
Then 2 weeks ago, they found that the trade war "will actually *increase* the amount of American business capital owned by foreigners, by almost $1 trillion by 2028":

It finally came out that Rod/Bob were key players in the Uranium scandal.
Don’t you think POTUS would be tweeting about removal given clear conflict.
Why did POTUS meet Bob under the cover of FBI Dir interview?

1. My deepest dig. I believe I've found the meaning behind many of #Q's latest drops, establish what recent events are all about and why they're happening. You must understand, this is NOT a game. We are at war. They've killed to stop what's happening.

2. We see in #QDrop #3570 that the meaning of [C] and [D] has been cleared up. [C]oats before [D]eclas. But, the rest of the drop may still be a mystery. I hope I can help.
"The month of AUGUST is traditionally very HOT.

3. Each year congress takes several extended breaks. Right now they're out for the August break and will return September 9th. Something most people don't understand is that these people are protected from arrest for most crimes while they're in session.

Is Epstein's Keystone of his Manhattan fort a pic of Hades, the Greek god of the underworld, sometimes referred to as 'hell'?
2. Further, does the 'concept' of a hell (hades) scare people into giving all their $$ to the church to 'save' them? Did Jesus speak of a "hell" or something else?
3. It's important to remember the Old Testament wasn't finished when Jesus was up and walking around. He hadn't died yet. Thus there WAS a place people's breath (spirit) went because no one had entered Heaven yet (Jesus would the first.."firstfruits")..
