And morons like " into the night" can't see the instability in the markets and economy.
With all these lay offs in the federal government some top economists are saying that alone could drive us into a recession then put on top of that Trumps tariffs that they also say could cause a deep recession / depression .
Heck those lay offs have to drive the unemployment rate up.
And all this BS has our trading partners all on edge. not knowing what is going to happen with Trump and his tariffs .
The US economy and Trump's BS is making everybody jumpy.

Looking back over the last 50 years we can see it is the Republicans that drive the economy into the ground and then we have to elect another Dem to get us back out of their messes.
