and so it begins
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. private payrolls growth slowed more than expected in April, the ADP National Employment Report showed on Wednesday. Private payrolls increased by only 62,000 jobs this month after a downwardly revised 147,000 gain in March. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast private employment would advance by 115,000 following a previously reported gain of 155,000 in March. |

This is a totally self inflicted economic disaster
The US economy contracted for the first time in three years to start 2025, as a surge in imports dragged down GDP and prices increased more than forecast. The Bureau of Economic Analysis's advance estimate of first quarter US gross domestic product (GDP) showed economic growth contracted at an annualized rate of 0.3% during the year's first three months, more than the 0.2% decline expected by economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The reading came in significantly lower than the 2.4% rate of growth seen in the fourth quarter of 2024. This marked the first quarter of negative GDP growth since the first quarter of 2022. |

| A declining economy also means less tax revenue for local and state governments, which, in turn, is going to mean cutbacks on public services at the state and local level at a time that the Federal is cutting back as well - all for no good reason other than Project2025. |

| Most of the 1Q "growth" was corporate and retail front-running tariffs. That doesn't bode well for 2Q and beyond. |

This should be Trump's epitaph. "How bad could he be, really? significantly worse than our previous estimate of 0%" |
