The "Booming" Trump economy

[Nutz and Boltz]

Makes me want to rejoin the labor force, but the way my job has changed so much over the last 5 years since I retired, I don't think I would be able to keep up. Wish I could get those 5 years back. Retirement sucks !

Retirement is a lot like marriage. Those who are out of it want to get in it...and when they are in it, most want to get out of it again.

So what? That happens daily in a $20T economy with or without tariffs. Tariffs are a rounding error at this point.
