New Tractor Sales Are Declining

Only left wing Liberals know the facts. All the rest of us are left with alternative facts.

I’m not a left winger, but it’s interesting that you would call yourself clueless.

But it reminds me of my dad defining "stupidity" as doing the same thing over and over even though it keeps on having the same wrong result.

Actually that's a medical definition of mental insanity.

What's interesting is that you immediately "assumed" I called you a left winger!!!! That is typical left wing Liberal behavior!!!

Whatever makes you feel good.

Too bad this thread is reduced to grade school labelling and name calling.
I was looking forward to a discussion of the issues.

Regardless of how the election turns out in a few days, a lot of damage has been done that will take years to fix if it ever gets fixed. It's a real shame what has happened. I don't happen to be one that is tremendously affected by what has happened, at least not in the short term, not like my kids who are starting out and others who are barely making it.

I know we are talking about tractor sales here but I would love to know what other, truly discretionary, things are doing in terms of sales. I kind of see a tractor as a necessity but I have lived without them before. I'll be interested in seeing what the Black Friday numbers look like.

With all the online shopping, Black Friday isn't what it used to be.

In the words of Rudy G. “you’re Honor, we have lots of theories but no evidence.”

I did not like the outcome, but accept the results pending compelling evidence, but i defend to the death the right of anyone to question the security of our elections. and IMO anyone who cries foul at the person asking questions about the security of our elections is hiding something.

 

[scootr]

Anyone who attacks someone who is questioning them is likewise hiding something or supporting a belief they cannot logically defend. You are either having a discussion of the opposing views supported by facts or you are bullying somebody into following your lead or accepting your way or the highway.
Hopefully the midterm election on a few days will pull the govt back towards the center as a midterm should when the govt has swung too far one way or the other... and yes I agree some damage is done which will have long term financial and social ramifications.
Socially I have not seen this country more divided than it is now.

I don't see the problem with spending. It seems to me that the problem is with borrowing.

The continued spending is what fuels inflation. Raising the federal interest rate, the rates banks pay to borrow money, slows down the velocity of spending. But if everybody is spending thinking that they are getting ahead of continuing inflation, that spending itself fuels more inflation.

At some point people run out of money because the rising cost of ordinary goods and services increasingly reduces discretionary spending and the economy slows.
