Stagflation is just about the worst thing ever. I don't know the ins and outs and loops and spins that got us there, but I lived thru it in the 70's and into the 80s, and it sucked.
An awful lot of people were barely squeaking by - like now. And that was back when a one-bedroom apartment in the city was renting at about $120 a month, you could buy a new car for $99 down and $99 a month, gas was 50¢ a gallon, and 25 or 30 bucks bought you 4 big paper sacks filled with groceries.
If Trump tips us into a full blown stagflation-type recession, we'll be lucky if it doesn't come to blows.
I understand that there has to be disruption of the usual everyday shit that we seem to be locked into before we can make the kind of changes we need, but what Trump is doing will only change things for the worse.
Everything Trump touches turns to shit.
