Bond markets are the indicator, if they fail, which countries will lend the USA money?
Plus, the USA 🇺🇸 has now tarnished its reputation as a stable, reliable trading partner, and a safe place to invest. It will take years, maybe decades to undo this damage.
The fact that entire economists are ignoring the fact that this exact sequence of events have happened before, and we all know the proverbial straw was the US defaulting on their debt (which likely will happen this time too) is maddening to me. I'm officially done listening to these hacks.
If I had the first, smallest, inkling that this man had a plan and/or knew what he was doing and understood the repercussions, I would feel hopeful - BUT I DO NOT
if efficiency all over the place is reduced this will reduce demand. if demand is reduced you will get a recession. So I agree, all this uncertainty is bad. it hinders investment which also reduces demand. but tariffs directly also reduce demand.
There will be a shortfall in demand if folks can't afford things (not to mention if they are saving and not spending out of fear) - which means contraction... which leads to...
This tariff isn't going to cause a recession but will call a depression.
Already there. Recessions are always recognized in retrospect.
just because tariffs dont cause recessions doesnt mean fashism doesnt..as far as i know, that one pretty much always does.
A big part of the problem is that not even the US companies know whats going on. Deals are usually running over multiple years, so how can you calculate prices or profits in advance if you cannot know what the tariffs are going to be in a month?!
Not everything is available Domestically, even at a higher price.
This is why the dollar is weakening. Uncertainty erodes trust.
Capital loves stability.
I'm seeing stag-flation in our future. A recession would be awesome at this point.
NYT just bring him back full time
Tell us what exactly a recession will do to Joe and Jody USA middle class or jobless or disabled or retired. I’m retired. Decently informed. Into politics and current events but I don’t know what a recession really means.
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. It's the uncertainty that slows the money. Velocity.
Recession follow quickly by a deep depression going global years to get over it when will we fight this guy and get him out it's already too ***** late
He policies are plain ignorant.
