Powell: "If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment."

2/3rds less world trade last 20% tariffs! Smoot- Hawley 122 million in USA suffered for years! Trump is bringing a recession hopefully not a Great Depression? Tariffs higher then the last time 20%. Now the World hates us! Will take years to-gain any credibility! Costing Trillions $ lost😡 fail.

Along with government employee losing their jobs, that will trickle down to other companies having layoffs. This will cause an increase in homeless, starving families, we will be in the next Great Depression! We must stop Trump and the oligarchy by whatever means possible!

Oh, he knows. We (collectively) need to stop letting him off the hook. He is neither incompetent nor an idiot. He is a greedy, evil oligarch who intended all along to use this opportunity to enrich himself and his follow demons.

The diffusion in the resistance to Trump's Fourth Reich is a mistake. This is when a shadow administration could be messaging, "Remember being a top performing economy? Are you tired of being an international pariah? Do you miss the Constitution and country mattering?"

I mentioned to a couple of maga they may want to put away their swag so they're not yelled at when folks can't afford basic necessities. It's about to get ugly, I'm afraid.

So basically.. this Jackass of a president.. still doesn’t get it .. these tariffs are NO GOOD for the country.. the longer they are in place … it will be detrimental for many citizens and businesses 🤬

Trump couldn't do more harm even if he intended to. In the years that follow, much will be said on the lack of will by elected officials who allowed this to happen. They have the power to stop this. Impeach Convict Remove

Now you’ve gone and made the clown 🤡 cry because you don’t parrot his lies or say what the whiner wants said! He melts down when the truth is spoken - turns oranger if that’s even possible!

Annndddds, who is most surprised by this? Oh yeah, MAGATS… you get what you vote for, except the rest of us have to suffer with you assholes

Remember that when the Titanic sank, the oligarchs and their luggage stayed warm and dry because all the lifeboats were reserved for them. We either kill the oligarchs or we die like rats

Sounds like….could it be? A recession? A recession purposely shoved up the bent over or kneeling Americans & millions more who remain defiantly standing by the Lady in the harbor. by Felon 47. His (Putin’s) vengeance on America/Americans was promised, he crowed it publicly…

I think the layoffs of government employees where they “resign” but still get paid until September is a way for the convicted felon to fuck with the unemployment numbers by delaying the hit. If they are on the payroll until September it’s not going to show up in the data until October or November.

Wondering if people in limbo (still hoping to return, or may be struggling with the process as they've never been unemployed before) may not be filing yet... have that uneasy feeling that the first lumps the layoff snake has swallowed aren't quite visible yet. 😭

There’s an old saying: “Never play chess with a pigeon. The pigeon just knocks all the pieces over. Then shits on the board. Then struts around like it won.” That is what it is like trying rationalize anything that idiot Trump does

This is part of the plan to destroy America by tWump and his ghouls and it is on track . And the other part is to destroy Civil Rights and the Constitution,isolate us from the world ,a pariah nation . We see every day they are working at that,dismantling with crowbar , ball peen hammers& mallets

No shit. I started looking for a job in December…I got an interview in march and the near constant stream of emails for new positions has dried up. And this is ALL. TRUMP’S. FAULT.

Sounds like the bookmakers know the odds of avoiding a recession and decline in international visitors is not in our favor. The house always wins, unless you’re Trump and then you can bankrupt a casino and stiff a bunch of contractors.

This is true. I have seen this town come out of a recession and a pandemic with its gloves on. It is already happening in CCSD with surplusing teachers. I have a friend this happened to These schools struggle anyway, and can't afford any money and programs taken away.

By the time the results of the tariffs truly hit the American people it will take months for the supply chain to get back to normal even if Trump is panicked in to removing them. Simple answers to complicated problems don't work.

Exactly! 1. Big, beautiful tariffs 2. Higher prices 3. Empty container ships 4. Higher prices 5. Job cuts 6. Higher prices All due to one deranged man's 80s fever dream of tariffs and power.

And even if they are not sustained, just flip-flopped. And I heard Bessent talking about having most done by "THE END OF THE YEAR." That is what he really hopes the timeline will be. For Most. And that is disastrous for the entire world. Putie must be so happy, and the billionaires so pissed.

Anyone with any economic sense & a knowledge of history knew this was coming. Trump refuses to listen. Is it because he hopes to kill the US economy & dollar so that he can implement crypto to benefit himself & his techno-nazis? www.ngrippel.com/ngr-politics...

Trump, Vance, Musk, and GOP want the bottom 90% to sacrifice for their big fat tax cuts & to appease Trump's fragile ego. After all no one wants to tell the Emperor, tariffs are time proven economic disasters.

“How Tariffs Could Trigger an Economic Tsunami” Powell’s warning is clear: high inflation + rising unemployment = stagflation. It’s the worst of both worlds—soaring prices, shrinking jobs, and zero good options. For everyday Americans, it’s economic quicksand. #Stagflation #Fed #Powell #Economy

Financial bankruptcy for families with a chronic illness or health emergency who lose Medicaid benefits, food insecurity for elderly and children due to USDA cuts, disaster impacted areas left without assistance? This doesn't even seem like the same country that I lived in six months ago!

Also known as stagflation. Impossible for the Fed Reserve to manage. And all self induced. Madness. Take the tariffs away and it corrects. Just saying. But not immediately. As it needs to wash through the system.
