As meaningless as US News and World Reports! Agree?A meaningless list without a detailed description of "quality of life". Oh, and the only state missing from that list of top-10 progressive states is Illinois.

Unless he reverses course, it will be the inflation caused by the tariffs that crash the economy. Tax cuts to upper brackets won't offset the inflation paid by the great number of taxpayers. Same for deregulation.If there is a recession, the primary cause will be the prolonged period of inflation.
No one knows yet what the net effect of the policy changes will be, including the Fed chairman who commented on it last week.
IMO, the coming tax cuts and deregulation will offset any negative impact of tariffs and the economy will be fine.

You will note Stone is not fleeing is Florida home. Why not?Let me know what that has to do with economy. Florida is gaining population. Also more importantly, RDS the Governor, not the mayor. Also, let me know when "South Florida" is a city.
Reducing government spending is exactly what you want - yet rail against. Quite odd and only explained by the scrambled state of your mind.Reducing government spending has a negative impact on growth. The coming tax cuts are replacing the current tax cuts so they will not be stimulative. Tariffs are inflationary so if they are in place for any length of time they will hurt the economy as well.
The yield curve has inverted again which has been a pretty good indicator of a recession.
IMO, a recession is more likely than not.
I don’t want a recession but I believe one is coming.You should have listened to the Bessent interview I linked yesterday. It's also pathetic you Trump so much that you root against the American economy just to prove yourself right.
Yes, I did adjust my portfolio two weeks ago.Reducing government spending is exactly what you want - yet rail against. Quite odd and only explained by the scrambled state of your mind.
The tax cuts must be renewed. If not, that will be a drag on the economy.
Have you sold everything yet? Better yet, hopefully you sold 2 weeks ago when you warned us all!

I will never return to the DR. Eight years ago, we were there for a wedding. Our driver slammed on the brakes as these little mopeds were weaving in and out of cars everywhere. My wife had a gash on her forehead was the result. The conditions at their hospital were unbelievably unsanitary. There was an armed security guard there to be sure you paid your bill. We couldn't get off of that island quick enough. The poverty there makes that island terribly dangerous.OT-Non Politics. Many years ago a young woman named Natalie Holloway dominated news and particularly cable news when she disappeared in Aruba (I think). The body was never found, the local authorities shielded the probable murder, etc. The guy eventually got in trouble for other things and maybe even this event was eventually pinned on him. It was a long time ago. Date rape drugs were also suspected.
Anyway, we may have another, the news media certainly is ramping up coverage. A 20 yr old woman went to a Riu resort in the Dominican Republic (they are all over Mexico and the Carribbean) with 5 girl friends for Spring break partying. 4-5 nights ago the women met some men to socialize. At about 4am they were walking on the beach and everyone except the 20 yr old and a man went back to the hotel. The man eventually left the beach and details are still emerging. I think his story is they went swimming and she drowned but the family is not buying it. Apparently her body is missing if she did drown.
Fathers (and Mothers) what good can come from letting your daughter hang out with a stranger on a beach at 4am? Why did her friends think it was OK to leave her? SMH

Actually, I think about it a lot. I have family and work that ties me here or I would leave before summer. Probably back to Illinois if I left.You will note Stone is not fleeing is Florida home. Why not?
I would do it if I were you. Illinois is on a real roll!Actually, I think about it a lot. I have family and work that ties me here or I would leave before summer. Probably back to Illinois if I left.
Illinois isn't bad if you're already retired. I came back 3.5 years ago to spend time with and help look after my dad. But I do spend my summers primarily up in NE Minnesota in a fairly remote area, which helps. All that said, once I don't have a reason to be here in Illinois, I don't think I'll stay.I would do it if I were you. Illinois is on a real roll!
You are listening to the wolves howl! Sauna on the property?Illinois isn't bad if you're already retired. I came back 3.5 years ago to spend time with and help look after my dad.

That makes you what, a hundred?Columbia has about $ 5 Billion in Federal grants at this time.
My Grandfather graduated from there in 1896 !
It just inverted again two weeks ago.The yield curve has been inverted for something like 2 1/2 years now.
I did hear them once last summer. There was a fire close to a nearby lake and that night they were pretty agitated, but they're usually quiet. I see them frequently enough--just lone animals along the highway into town or on the little road out to my place. No sauna though--it's in the plan but with a number of things ahead of it.You are listening to the wolves howl! Sauna on the property?
Last time I was up there(many years back) I stayed a friends place, a farmstead/homestead built by the Swedish or Norwegian immigrants that settled the site and had the old sauna sitting on the edge of the pond. A lot of wolves howling at night( may have been wolf dogs)I did hear them once last summer.

This looks like you posted from the uncoach X algorithm echochamber. BTW, I dig the new pill counting avatar!
48 is good, are you sure? Florida is 2d next to California in people moving out of state. It is offset by those moving in which shows that those already here aren't happy with the state, those up north can't wait to move to "paradise". Also mostly younger folks moving out, old retirees moving in.
