Tractors The Economy

(quoted from post at 10:04:15 10/31/15) Most working people do not have any money to buy the big toys and that is what tractors are to people who do not generate income with them, you also can't sell 4-wheeler, RVs and boats. The only non government subsidized US economic growth in the last 7 years has been in the carbon energy sector, most importantly drilling,fracking and producing oil and gas wells, that sector is dead along with coal. Zerobammies unicorn economy has essentially went backward, as it turns out, the people making policy are as stupid as the people who voted for Zero and that is a big problem. There are 92 million working age people in the USA who either cannot find a job, will not find a job or refuse to work for less than welfare and food stamps and crazy checks pay. 51% of the U.S. workforce that do have a job make less than 30,000 per year with the vast majority making between 12,000 and 25,000. These are easily verifiable facts, the U.S. and world economies are at this point barely treading water, deflation of Raw materials and commodities may take years to,work themselves out, if the various governments meddling in the economy ends, and that is the thing most unlikely to happen.

(quoted from post at 14:51:43 10/31/15) The AG and mining industries are in a slump in MN right now everything else is good, lots of new houses being built in my area. Up on the CA border it's a different story, old people move to the care centers, and their houses sit empty, some pretty nice places. Just logging and AG up there, and that doesn't take many people any more. Beef prices are keeping some farmers above water. Hard to buy a new tractor with beans at 8.85 and wheat at 5.22.
