Description

Max from @UNFTR examines the revised GDP figures along with hotter than expected inflation data to show how the economy was already falling off a cliff prior to the war in Iran. Now that we’re caught in a quagmire in the Middle East again with no clear plan or way out, Trump’s actions threaten to take down the global economy. He discusses the oil markets, consumer demand and why the Fed is powerless to stop the bleeding in a period of fiscal dominance.

As a non-American I still can't process how a known conman can actually con an entire nation like the US.

Feels like a quiet economic war is unfolding — not in the streets, but in the widening gap between regular workers and the wealthiest few.

The tariff taxes have the same results as what happen in the early part of the Great Depression. The Smoot Hawley Tariffs of 1930 caused the depression to go on for a decade. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, signed by President Hoover on June 17, 1930, raised U.S. tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods to record levels, aiming to protect American farmers and industries during the early Great Depression. It backfired, triggering international retaliatory tariffs, reducing global trade by roughly 66%, and worsening the economic crisis.

Iran is 10 times what Afghanistan is and we spent 20 years there and still didn't win! What makes anyone think that we are going to just destroy Iran?
