Elinating poverty is NOT A COST.
China had regular famines, China eliminated poverty and is NOW RICH.

America is powerful and and attracrive partner because it has customers. DEMAND.

SUPPLY SIDE economics is a CONTROL SYSTEM that harms economies.

Supply side economics is a prison that harms economies. Ending supply side, building a DEMAND lead economy creates VAST WEALTH.

FDR began history's longest economic boom.

Eliminating poverty doesnt "cost"

China had repeated famines, it was known in popular culture, people alive today had their parents tell them to "finish your dinner there are starving kids in China."

China's effort to feed every person didn't cost them anything, in fact they have money left over to build a million EVs.

Want one?

When you buy energy from Exxon it lasts till the weekend, when you buy solar panels you have power forever.

It doesn't "cost" to end the war on Demand.

DOOCY: Why do you think the Chinese is buying up so much farmland so close to military installations?

TRUMP: I don't want to get into that. I have a very good relationship with President Xi. They're paying a lot of tariffs.

Any why not under this administration defenses are down.

FYI El Presidente' they don't pay the tariffs - your citizens and small businesses do #Econ101 )

Money supply, inflation, employment, labor force, (net capital outflow == net exports)... I need to get back to my macroeconomics textbooks; I haven't thought about this stuff for a while. (Granted, standard economic models make many assumptions that are only approximately true) #economics #econ101

And maybe send these small business owners a copy of Henry Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson".

@AdrianRiskin If you don't have some units vacant/unsold, you're not pricing high enough to maximize profits. #Econ101 The problem is that this conflicts with public interest goals of #housing everyone.

Can someone explain to me like I’m 5?

If residential debt service is the largest contributor to inflation, then aren’t interest rate raises inflationary? At least until they trigger residential debt deleveraging through a wave of defaults/repos?

This is what #austerity looks like.

If this was a #Econ101 assignment, this would be a clear fail.
