  • Geopolitical tensions, the pandemic's lingering aftershocks, high inflation and steep borrowing costs. Countries across the globe have faced multiple crises for months.
    And just last year, the world's biggest economy, the United States, was at risk of recession.
    Today, its gross domestic product is growing faster than expected. Stocks are soaring. And the job market is hot.
    The US economy is not just strong. It has also powered ahead of the European Union, the United Kingdom, Japan and other advanced economies.
    Why are farmers across Europe protesting?
    Plus, North Korea looks to false eyelashes to shore up its economy.

    The reserve currency thesis one hears most often is backwards. The strength and size of the US economy is not because of its reserve currency status. That status is because of the size and strength of the US economy.

This also means we've never been at risk of invasion (if you don't count the border crisis) that could lead to war on American soil. Plus the dollar is the world's reserve currency. All in all, this makes us less susceptible to the plights of other countries.

    It’s resilient because of the strength of the US dollar and the financial infrastructure that only the US has that allows it’s effective and efficient use in international trade. This allows the US to print trillions and trillions of dollars and export much of that inflation outside of the US. This allows the US to continue to prosper at the expense of all other nations (buts it’s only the ultra rich in the US that prosper). Because everyone else depends on the US dollar their monetary policy is effectively dictated by the US central bank. Eventually, very soon, inflation will destroy the world economy, but the US will come out of it in relative terms better than everyone else.

    I agree with you, that until very recently immigrants who came to the west prospered and became very wealthy. That’s not the case today because inflation has changed all that. You tell me- if a person comes from India today, and doesn’t bring thousands of dollars with him, and has to rent, and pay insurance, energy costs, food, clothes, and has an average job, how much can he save? I tell you the answer is nothing. Do you know what rents are like in USA? Do the math. That was not the case five years ago when rents where a fraction of what they are now.
    You may be doing well. But half of America’s population is barely making ends meet.
    Also, inflation is persistent. All asset prices in USA are heavily inflated when the bubble pops, all those house values are going to drop like they did in 2008. Now imagine a wealth person from immigrates here now. And he buys a house for $800,000 and gives a down payment of $200,000. What happens when house prices drop to realistic levels. He loses his $200,000
    Now you will say house prices won’t drop. That’s what they said in 2008. If you want to discuss economics, I can explain to you exactly why they will be dropping after the us election.

    The FED lowered its inflation objective to less than 2% in 2012. They changed the target to a long-term average of 2% inflation. Because long-term interest rates are set at inflation plus a profit margin, the implication is lower interest rates. I consider the current rising interest rate to be a very serious issue it will cause more investors to withdraw from the market.

      The US GDP is 23,3 trillion and the debt also inflates while the GDP grows. The US has huge gas and oil reserves , an enormous amount of land with rare earth minerals, a huge military present worldwide and a protection umbrella for European and Asian allies, and an strong consumer base. Demographics are positive, the opposite of China’s demographic development. It’s the world order as we know it nowadays. And yes it can chance, but alliances are a part of a great American future, sharing power with allies reliant on eachother.

      The US has no regional rival in North America, and enjoy much better demographic outlook, plus the ongoing trade war against China managed to bring back (reshoring) some of its industry previously lost to China.

    The USA will no longer be able to print money in the trillions like they used to because inflation is “sticky”. Quantitative Easing ie. money printing doesn’t work during inflation because no one will buy us treasuries except for the federal reserve because the value of treasuries drop as inflation goes up. So we are now in an era where if the USA tries to bail out banks or the economy by printing money they will actually create inflation.

    My point is very simple. Let’s use your example of New Delhi. In past years, a person emigrating to America, could have worked hard, saved money, and lived a decent life. That is not the case today. Inflation has destroyed that scenario. Any immigrant coming here today will be working multiple jobs to make ends meet. All of his income will go into rent, insurance, food, energy etc. He will not be able to save any money at all. He will never be able to buy a house in his lifetime, from income he earns in America. He will be working at least 60 hours a week, and hardly able take feed his family, living pay cheque to pay cheque.
    Any average person living in Dubai, Kuwait, UAE, would be a fool to immigrate to America. He would be leaving behind Paradise for a “rotten life”.
    Even the middle class of India, would now be foolish to immigrate to America in the present time. That was not true before. In fact Indians prospered in Western Countries. That’s not the situation now.
    In fact, If you are young in America, and don’t have your parents money to rely on, you face hardships. You will never be able to buy a house or live the life you parents and grandparents lived. That’s the current reality.
    I’m not saying the American Middle class is poor. I’m saying it’s not what it was in past generations. Things have changed for the worse.

      I agree with you, that until very recently immigrants who came to the west prospered and became very wealthy. That’s not the case today because inflation has changed all that. You tell me- if a person comes from India today, and doesn’t bring thousands of dollars with him, and has to rent, and pay insurance, energy costs, food, clothes, and has an average job, how much can he save? I tell you the answer is nothing. Do you know what rents are like in USA? Do the math. That was not the case five years ago when rents where a fraction of what they are now.
      You may be doing well. But half of America’s population is barely making ends meet.
      Also, inflation is persistent. All asset prices in USA are heavily inflated when the bubble pops, all those house values are going to drop like they did in 2008. Now imagine a wealth person from immigrates here now. And he buys a house for $800,000 and gives a down payment of $200,000. What happens when house prices drop to realistic levels. He loses his $200,000
      Now you will say house prices won’t drop. That’s what they said in 2008. If you want to discuss economics, I can explain to you exactly why they will be dropping after the us election.

    I am a small business owner . I own a plumbing company . It’s a corp . Last year I made about 180k. I am constantly buying tools and materials . I only buy American or European ( German or Austrian ) . Zero Chinese . I don’t care I pay more . China builds garbage and the are a communist nation. All my union brothers think the same . Zero China .
    The USA WILL ALWAYS BE NUMBER 1 because we consume even if we don’t need it now . We will eventually need it . We buy the best tools and are very best . We believe it

      Well reality will catch up with u coz USA is not going to be the largest market 40yrs from nw. T will be Africa Asia and South America where china has put all its efforts and trust me t is taking over those markets. So bro keep isolating yourself. China is communist but according to the way u talk USA is not a free market anymore it’s a protectionist market nw
