"Costco CFO sounds alarm on consumer trend
Retailers could be in for a rough 2025.
70% of consumers say inflation has hurt their household finances.

And compounding matters is that #interestrates remain stubbornly high due to sticky #inflation. In January the Federal Reserve hit pause on interest rate cuts. And it’s likely to hold rates steady when it meets in mid-March"

It used to be that people committed crimes to make money.

Now, with the complete collapse of federal law enforcement, programmed social media algorithms and the corruption of the republican party, they commit crimes to get famous.

Then the criminals can run for republican office or start a podcast.

Most #Republicans stood up to applaud #Trump’s announcement that he would impose reciprocal #tariffs on April 2, but several remained seated, including Sens #LisaMurkowski (Alaska), #SusanCollins (Maine) & #RogerWicker (Mississippi).

I don’t care if they sit or stand. I want them to vote for the US interests & stop kowtowing to Trump.


Elon Musk, who likes to call beneficiaries of federal spending the "parasite class", runs corporations that have pocketed $38 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies, loans, and contracts.

Murkowski rebukes Trump over Ukraine: ‘Walking away from our allies’

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/01/trump-zelenskyy-meeting-lisa-murkowski-00206874

The Alaska senator’s statement was a rare note of dissent from a Republican.

“I am sick to my stomach as the administration appears to be walking away from our allies and embracing Putin, a threat to democracy and U.S. values around the world,” the Alaskan wrote in a Saturday afternoon post to X.

Biden expanded Trump's plan to privatize Medicare. @TheDemocrats killed #MedicareforAll legislation & took 63% of the healthcare lobby's money in both the 2020 & 2024 elections. Harris, Biden, Obama & Clinton are the top 4 recipients of pharmaceutical lobby cash from 1990-2024 3/

"That more than 190,700 of the #IRA’s clean energy jobs (and more than $286 billion in investment) are in 150 Republican-led districts shows that this bill is impacting “everywhere,” Glass says—even the places where politicians are trying to kill it.

Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud

All they've really got is "spending that Elon Musk doesn't like."
https://www.publicnotice.co/p/despite-the-hype-doge-hasnt-found

"not a single instance of fraud or waste has been discovered.

Instead, #DOGE has dismantled federal agencies and halted or cancelled programs that #Trump and #Republicans simply disagree with, amid efforts to purge agencies of employees not loyal to Trump."

Text from article:
A month into Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s much-hyped efforts to root out fraudulent and wasteful spending by government agencies, not a single instance of fraud or waste has been discovered.

Instead, DOGE has dismantled federal agencies and halted or cancelled programs that Trump and Republicans simply disagree with, amid efforts to purge agencies of employees not loyal to Trump. Along with Trump’s firing of 17 inspectors general whose responsibilities ironically include finding waste, fraud, and corruption in government agencies, DOGE may be making the government less efficient, in just one instance by firing employees like Department of Transportation economists who performed cost-benefit analysis of infrastructure projects.

Elsewhere, DOGE has fired FAA lawyers who help to keep drunk pilots out of the sky, Rolling Stone reports. And national parks are now understaffed thanks to the chainsaw DOGE is taking to the government.

With nothing to show for its efforts to find actual fraud and waste, it has become clear that DOGE is simply a way for Trump and Musk to arbitrarily cancel programs they doesn’t like in lieu of having to negotiate with Congress on spending priorities and government policies. This is likely a violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. But it’s more than that: DOGE is now the enforcement arm of a Trump administration that has no interest in working with Congress to implement its policy priorities.

The Incredible Disappearing Republican Lawmaker

The GOP's total withdrawal from governing is nearly complete, and they’re increasingly determined to push the entire legislative branch into functional irrelevance.

The Trump administration is focused on US markets as their primary gauge on success.
#investing
If US markets are in recession or depressed for the next four years, Trump and Republicans will struggle to accomplish anything but fixing the economy.
If US markets are in a Super Cycle, you can expect more criminal carnage as nothing Trump or Republicans do will effect markets.
