The Fed didn't use the word "stagflation", but that's what it's warning about. Never a good moment when your central bank says that it's worried about both higher unemployment and higher inflation. That's a problem that monetary policy alone can't solve.

Given that this White House leaks about everything, and there was no chatter about movie tariffs, it seems likely that policy reshaping the lives of millions of Americans was made by an old man sitting alone in a room with a remote in his left hand, aided by no economic, legal or strategic advice.

"A recession means lower incomes. Means fewer people with jobs. It means people losing self esteem and connection with the labor force. It means families doing without. It means higher rates of depression; higher rates of divorce; higher rates of suicide... and it's not OK."

And should be reported as such. It is one of the few crimes that explicitly says the President can be charged with it. (And even though it was being litigated in the Hunter Biden case when immunity went before SCOTUS, it inexcusably did not come up.)

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
