America gets another credit rating drop (under Biden) shocker!

Just the second time America gets dragged towards third world status with their out of control spending. Biden is in good company I suppose since his daddy Obama was the first. What was Biden’s response? Oh yeah, it was Trumps fault…. You really can’t make this junk up. Lol.

    America gets another credit rating drop (under Biden a republican congress that went on break less than a month before the budget deadline/agreement that they signed up to with the Executive branch months earlier) shocker!

     
    FTFY.  This was not Biden's, nor even traitor's, fault; it was the republicans, particularly those in the house.  But, hey, thanks for playing.

    Tell us Wildman - name a president during your lifetime that has submitted a balanced budget to the Congress.

    Weren’t you telling all of us about the imminent recession just a few months ago, which you claimed was obvious based on what you were seeing from your vantage point in big paper?

    Maybe there’s some truth in toilet paper sales dropping corresponding to an increase in excrement inside a certain person….

    I suppose it’s not a surprise that Wildman here is a big Trump supporter.  After all, Trump is another guy whose confidence never seems to wane, regardless of how frequently he gets things wrong.

    Nothing has changed. Everyone in the industry is still taking downtime and actually more now than before. Just keep watching CNN so you know what to believe though.

    LOL.  Dude, you made the prediction of an “imminent” recession like eight months ago.  When exactly do folks in “bellweather industries” like yourself expect this recession to hit?  

    And I don’t watch CNN.  Maybe you should take a break from Facebook.

    DUDe, they just changed the definition of what a recession is. The government is pumping out money to keep it propped up. Can you look down from your ivory tower long enough to see many people are having a hard time? If you actually believe this economy is working well for the average Joe you should look harder.

    So, we're in a recession now and the all the business media and economists, etc. didn't recognize this redefinition (but you did) or they all just want along with it.   Is that the idea?
    Love you bro!

    If working at big paper isn’t providing you with enough discretionary income to buy your next hand cannon, that’s a you problem.

    How rare for a snowball like yourself to be judgmental. Lol. 

      You think that people outside of a 9-5 can’t do well? The funniest thing to me is I see people in these jobs with a nice title and maybe wearing a suit, probably setting on a pile of student loan debt, and still not make as much as many blue collar workers. I understand the mentality you may have of looking down on people that work and sweat at a job. Snobs aren’t new.

    You totally misread my post, you see.  I’m sure you’re doing great, because you show us just how well you’re doing all the time.  It’s obvious to the most casual observer at a moment’s glance!

    The part you struggle to comprehend is not everyone is living their life on social media to impress some strangers. You and a handful here love the big fish in a little pond lifestyle. It gives you self worth. Good for you.

    Well... I continue to think that you're hilarious.

    From the bio of the author of that article:

    About the Author: My name is Michael and my brand new book entitled “End Times” is now available on Amazon.com.  In addition to my new book I have written six other books that are available on Amazon.com including “7 Year Apocalypse”“Lost Prophecies Of The Future Of America”“The Beginning Of The End”, and “Living A Life That Really Matters”.



    The blurb from one of his books mentioned in his bio:

    "For decades, people all over the world have been having supernatural experiences in which God has shown them the future of America. These prophecies are incredibly detailed, they are remarkably consistent, and some of them have already started to come to pass. Unfortunately, most people have absolutely no idea that these prophecies actually exist. Most of them have been buried under the sands of time and have long been forgotten, but now the events that these prophecies foretold are starting to happen right in front of our eyes.In this book, you will find hundreds of direct quotes from prophetic voices all over the globe."



    Next are you going to post an article telling us all about the secrets of Atlantis and the Bermuda Triangle?
