What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs.
That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result.

I don’t understand why no one in congress has proposed amending The Federal Reserve act to include the following addition among the mandates
“Reducing the federal debt-to-GDP ratio to sustainable levels.”
Keep inflation and employment the same , just add to the equation

The MSM is terminally stupid.
The big news today is that retail sales are "robust", jumping 0.9% month-over-month in May, above forecasts of 0.5%.
A search by category shows the biggest bulk of higher spending came at gas stations.
This is not good, unless your name is Chevron. #EconSky

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125.
The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN.
This is trickle down economics on steroids.

Trump inherited an economy that was firing on all cylinders. Now, just weeks into his tenure, the outlook is far gloomier -- and the sudden deterioration is due almost entirely to his policies and the uncertainty they have created.
