Four Humble Thoughts

 1.  Was the US in a recession in 2024?

Well...using latest available data....NO. The United States was not officially in a recession in 2024. 

But as you define a recession....in the traditional  way...you need two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.

If you asked me....was it possible that Biden's crew in 2023 started screwing with data collection, and using USAID money (tens of billions)....to prevent GDP  negativity....I'd likely say it's very possible.

2.  I hate to think 'ill' of people.....but there's not a day when I see something via the news or Twitter....thinking....that gal or guy is mentally ill and unprepared to handle  life.

3.  I suspect as the months pass in 2025....a paper-trail  of USAID money will develop....going back to ten-plus Senators, and 50-odd House members....some Republican....some Democrat.  Charges to develop?  Yeah, and so....this 2026 mid-term election might run entirely different.

4.  With all this BS about migrants getting social security numbers.....I would  suggest somewhere out there....some American guy with time on his hands and a knowledge  of Spanish....probably presented himself to some authorities as 'Pedro', and has actually developed a secret identity....with a 2nd social  security situation.  He might even be 'Pedro'....registered to vote.
