This is fucking nuts!


100-month car loans are now a thing. Kelley Blue Book data shows 31.3% of auto loans issued last month were for 72 months or longer, with more and more at 100 and 120 months.
57.4% of new auto loans last month carried negative equity, meaning the buyer owed more on their trade-in than it was worth.
Most of them rolled that old debt into the new loan.

Huge retail numbers beat!
Must be folks spending that $5K in anticipation of being reimbursed?

Or real inflation as opposed to that reported?

  • updated go bags
  • added more .556/9mm
  • bought a shit load of batteries

  • upped gasoline storage from 4 to 8 5gal tanks
  • added some emergency rations
  • buried another $5k in the backyard

Trump once again proves he has no understanding of Trade or tariffs, or math.
He may be the least knowledgeable President we've ever had.

I get the hyperbole in making the comparison. I wonder more about comparing US DEBT instead of DJIA. thoughts???

In 1929 the US debt to GDP was 16%


Today:

The U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio is currently approximately 126%, meaning the national debt exceeds the entire annual economic output of the country.
