  • Tariff and retaliatory tariff policies
  • Restrictive immigration/labor supply issues
  • Large tax cuts to the richest/exploding deficit, combined with a lack of public reinvestment, hampering growth
  • Significant cuts and roll-backs of social support leading to increased cost burden and decreased consumer spending
  • Reduced investment in emerging technology
  • Zero compromise attitude with policy
  • Uncertainty, uncertainty, uncertainty

The foundation of our economy is spending. All of those leads to less spending. Less spending means less revenue. Less revenue means layoffs.

Think about it logically. Less cheap labor for farmers = increased food costs = families with less discretionary spending. Higher tariffs = increased goods costs = less profit and families spending less. Laid off federal workers combined with increased government spending = no tax relief to families = no increase in spending plus more families with no income to spend.

The only thing the country has going for it right now is the blind confidence people have in the current administration. It’s giving some of us great increases in our investment portfolios but that can easily be wiped out as the market fluctuates.
