Bessent is my latest prediction for first off the ship. Lutnick is annoying but amongst the cabinet isn’t close to Hegseth/ Gabbard/ Kennedy. Non cabinet: Patel, Bongino, Vought are all worse. Stephen Miller is still the absolute peak terrible. |

This is horrible for people on low/fixed incomes. It’s horrible for pretty much everyone who can’t be opportunistic. Everything is up except for the market. Companies can’t invest, companies can’t hire, consumer confidence is in free fall, no one can find a job if they are laid off, inflation will continue to soar, jobless rates will climb from now through September and by October we will be in a recession if we don’t get there earlier. China is capitalizing on these poorly construed and structured policies. And please tell me how countries with low birth and immigration rates are fairing…Just name one country with those characteristics that is doing well. Now do you think an economic recession will lower birth rates further in the US or raise them? Same exercise, what about the impacts of less civil society and the breakdown of democracy? |
