.@JessicaBRiedl: "The economic threats are real and many. Tariffs are raising prices, paralyzing business investment, alienating our allies, and harming the very manufacturing sector that they're supposed to be helping. We face upside inflation risks from tariffs, immigration restrictions, tax cuts, spending hikes, and Trump pressuring the Fed to cut rates. Economic growth forecasts are sluggish due to immigrant worker deportations and labor force growth trending towards zero. The economy created just 181,000 jobs last year — that's one-tenth of the average rate over the last decade. And employers have the fewest job openings posted since the Great Recession. Housing starts and residential construction spending are falling sharply. We have crony capitalism and government taking steps to nationalize major companies. Consumer confidence is at a twelve year low. Real personal disposable income has not grown since the tariffs. Budget deficits are heading to $4 trillion a year under current policy within a decade, and that's with low interest rates. Social security and Medicare are on pace to push the debt to 250% of GDP in three decades. Washington has based its entire long-term budget projections on the interest rate paid on their bonds not rising ever above 3.8%, and we're doing bond auctions right now at 4.5%. So much of these costs are the results of giving an economically illiterate president nearly unchecked power over economic policy."
