The term child support refers to a court ordered child support in a divorce. If your check was used up supporting your children we would not call that "child support". We would call that supporting your children.

say this is why I put you on ignore because you're deliberately disingenuous an incredibly disrespectful.

I honestly think you're just trolling
 
Oh, Trumpy: Tariff me, baby! I love it!

Now, I shouldn't have to explain: but for those of us who don't have a sense of humour: please don't get offended: this is just my attempt at humour: please don't see it as a sign of disrespect!

Gas prices are down. This is the thing that will bring other prices down as the cost of delivering goods goes down.

Oh yeah...egg prices are way down.

It’s worth it tho.
Even tho you don’t need to pay anything to own the libs. All you have to say is “male is not female” and watch them break down.

NYC Court AMBUSHED by Illegals... "Deportation Marines" ANSWER With TOTAL BRUTALITY
 
Feeling sorry for someone does nothing to help them.





Real Christians don't use language like that.

Those with devil do though.






They better be careful - some of these small store owners will shoot them so the cops need to order a large shipment of body bags.





Them demons got you using the foul language again?

You should repent of that filthy perverted mouth!






Inviting people to come fight you is a good way to get shot!

That's pretty slow man.
Real Christians, at times, use much worse language. You must be tenderhearted or something. Virgin ears, I suppose. Sad.
 
well that was a person on this forum said people deserve to go hungry because of sin

and then the ones who assume that all food stamp recipients are lazy and don't work.
I used to get food stamps years ago when child support was taken almost my entire paycheck.
there's nothing wrong with helping hard-working Americans who are trying to do their best.


meanwhile, the satanic temple is already working on food drives for people who are about to lose their benefits next month
Preach it, brother Dude.

I'm trying to wrap my mind around someone bankrupting for casinos.
a business in which they take in like eleventy bajillion times what they pay out

As for tariffs, they accomplished nothing but making the American consumer have to pay more for everything.

That just is not the case. Since April it was noticeable in quarterly earnings reports. After this latest quarterly earnings it was seen because a full quarter of tariffs were in operation. Companies are reporting higher sales however, less profit. Reason being they were paying a higher cost for sales. When you looked into the guidance they explained the reason is the tariffs as they are paying them and not passing the cost on.

Some companies in their earnings call just came out and said that they could not pass them on because the American market has been hit with high inflation and stubborn extended inflation. So we are still seeing higher prices, it is inflation. The latest CPI numbers show that we have 3% inflation on prices year over year from October of last year.

The NY Times just did a piece on the 24th and they report the same thing I have said. They speculate that companies won't be able to keep doing it for much longer. So they suspect we will see a rise in prices as the tariffs get passed along.

I am not so sure because the latest out of the Fed at FOMC is they are dropping the Fed rate. They also said that they are going to stop quantitative tightening.

Quantitative easing is leveraging and tightening is deleveraging. Our money is borrowed into existence. So when a loan is paid off we delete or destroy the money from the money supply. So since our money is borrowed into existence when a loan is paid off we end it's existence.

That is what tightening is the Fed lets it fall off after it is paid so it tightens the money supply. In their latest implementation guidance. They have said they are going to rollover all Treasuries. What that means is when one is paid off they are going to take that cash and go buy a likewise one. Which will be a sideways movement one were it is not moving up or going down just staying steady

However, they said that they are going to buy treasuries with retired agency bonds Agency bonds are mortgage backed securities. That is going to place pressure on mortgage securities so I don't believe we will see a real fall in mortgage rates.

It also may work as a back door QE because now government knows it will have a built in buyer for treasuries with agency bonds being rolled over to buy treasuries. So any leveraging I believe we will see increased inflation. Which if that happens I think companies will have to eat the tariffs longer because they are aware that their customers are not in a position for a rise in prices.

Anyway here is a link for the NY Times article that explains companies are eating the tariffs and their reason they find that it won't be for much longer.

"we're paying more for literally everything but at least we're owning the libs"

I don't know about owning libs. However, there is a rise in a good number of products right now from the rise in gold and sliver. Both metals are used in products, ones that have a need for conductivity and others for corrosion. So there is higher cost in these type of products because of the increased price for the metals in the market.

Foul language is a sign of one who is being led by demons. Sad.

True Children of God are led by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ Who never leads anybody to use foul language.

You really need to meet Jesus and get born again someday! agree.gif




Preach it, brother Dude.

You're excited about the satanic temple having food drives? clueless-scratching.gif
