There is an 11% DROP in spending in the BLUE states during these weeks after Trump is elected.
There is a 50.4% UPTICK in RED states during this same period,
Are Repubs happier?? About what?? Do you see people in a better mood these days? Do you know that consumer confidence has increased big-time, the biggest jump in November in History!!!!
Trump has the highest favorability rating that he has ever had in History.

@AverageJoe1 saidYou're talking about the red states whose spending relies heavily on support from federal tax dollars? Trump will keep the free money gravy train rolling into Kentucky?

@wildgrass saidI don't know about all that, but need not, since I am po9nting out the amount of money that red states are spending on-line to buy stuff. On-line. That is the measuring tool of this finding. The money in the pockets of red state citizens is being spent, you see. The money in the pockets of blue state citizens, not so much.

How bout you tell us why that might be happening, I don't think you would need 'links' to form your opinion? You and Sonhouse continue to reference 'the State' with a lot of your posts. Federal Aid"?? n I talk about people, myself.
Maybe the blue state residents are worried Trump may turn off their welfare programs, so they are hoarding their little money. This worries me, cause these people will try to vote Repubs out of office next time!!!!

Dear Joe - I don't pay much attention to people's moods, but your happiness is a good thing. You've gotten what you want. A Trump victory and control of Congress.
FWIW - My mood is one of quiet determination. A goal of 1800+ (USCF) will not be easily achieved. The Washington and Oregon Opens are next spring, and they don't suffer fools gladly. Time for me to get to work.
May your happiness be everlasting. 🙂

@AverageJoe1 saidI think the reality is that Harris voters understand that hard times are ahead. They get their news from more reputable sources, for instance, and recognize that tariffs, trade wars, and the sheer mass of incompetence that is converging on Washington are going to cost the nation dearly, and cause prices to skyrocket everywhere from the grocery store to the health insurance market.

@mchill saidI picture you starting out like the Queens Gambit Beth Harmon, who shows up with no backgrouond and kicks butt. Good Luck. Take it from a 1007-rated player, there is always a better move. I made that up.

@Soothfast saidOK, I will make a note that you suggest hard times ahead. Trump says he will fix all that. We shall see, I am betting on Trump. Price of a gallon of gas will be cut in half.

They get their news from more reputable sources, for instance, and recognize that tariffs, trade wars, and the sheer mass of incompetence that is converging on Washington are going to cost the nation dearly, and cause prices to skyrocket everywhere from the grocery store to the health insurance market.

You mention that these naysayers get their news from reputable sources. Most of mine in economics and the Trump plans come from Fox Business News. Suggest you see some of those interviews, these guys know what they are talking about. And it is not all goody goody, they too are concerned about Trumps tariffs, etc, but watch it all thresh out.

So, inflation is 22%. You are saying that because Trump will be president, that it will , let me read what you said,,,,let me see......Oh, here it is....
"Incompetence will cause prices to skyrocket everywhere' throughout our society."
You are saying that it will rise ABOVE 22%???

@Suzianne said'exactly the same',,,,,yes, Biden is president. He is actually unleashing more money out of the treasury , look it up, they say to make it difficult for Trump.
The economy is exactly the same, except you fools are NOW saying "it's better".
It is the same, and you suggest Trump has something to do with it!?!?!?!??

@AverageJoe1 saidAre YOU saying Trump got ten million workers new jobs that were not there before or got the price of insulin down to 35 bucks? Or passed the infrastructure bill pumping hundreds of BILLIONS into broken bridges, highways and airports?
'exactly the same',,,,,yes, Biden is president. He is actually unleashing more money out of the treasury , look it up, they say to make it difficult for Trump.

And BTW, republicans voting 100% against but now telling their constituents how much THEY did to get those billions rolling into THEIR states.
So Trump had something to do with all that?
One thing Trump IS responsible for is killing the best border bill to come around, BIPARTISIN BILL but Trump didn't want to give ANY credit to Biden for relief on the border so he commanded his puppet Mike Johnson, the squeaker of the house to kill the bill so it is dead and not even DEBATE allowed. Trump did THAT.

@spruce112358 saidI think he will, so can you send this difference between us to Sonhouse so he can see that there are millions of people who do not agree with y'all?
Here's hoping Trump will NOT do what he promised. 😆
e g, A lot of people didnt understand when he said 'there are good people on both sides' during one of y'all's riots, so it shows how we all see things differently . That is why we have a Forum.
If tariffs are used as Trump did in his prior administration as a negotiating tool, and to bring other trading partners to the table, then they are not going to be inflationary....in fact, a better trade deal can DEeflationary. We are free marketers,,you see.
He has not even been sworn into office and has already met with Mex and Canada. Watch him cook in the kitchen.
