Tariff Exemptions
As the Tariff exemptions roll in, watch how they map to those who donated to Trump and his inauguration. Patronage at work.
Tariffs on. Tariffs off.
It’s all just such a stupid way to run an economy. Absolute clown show. And his supporters will eat it up.
Tariffs are Taxes
Trump prepares to shackle Americans with higher taxes through tariffs on his so-called “Liberation Day.”
Spin
The market doesn’t like tariff wars. But Fox News will spin it for Dear Leader.
Tariffs are paid by the Consumer
As Trump plans tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, a reminder of who really pays the tariffs.
Not feeling the economy?
If you’re not feeling this economy, why would you vote in the guy who wants to cut support and bring back “trickle down economics” policies that haven’t worked for decades?
Stupid way to run the world’s largest economy
Another last-minute deal. Another short term funding plan. Dumb.
Countdown to Default
Tic tic tic. Bill’s coming due.
Jobs Report
The US Jobs Report for July smashed all expectations, adding 528,000 jobs in one month.
The US has now recovered the entirety of jobs lost from the start of the traveling in 2020. A much faster recovery than past downturns such as The Great Recession.
The unemployment rate fell to 3.5%, matching the lowest level in 50 years.
Of course Presidents don’t single handedly create jobs. It also means the Fed will be further challenged to manage inflation.
But jobs are good. Though we can expect the politicians to squabble over it still.
