The US launched a "heavy wave" of strikes on Iran, and Saudi Arabia joined in bombing Iraq. This multi-front war is choking the Strait of Hormuz and driving up oil prices. #Economy #EpsteinWar

When oil prices spike due to geopolitical wars, your inflation spikes. The Fed just held interest rates steady because inflation is still running at a stubborn 3.5%. The middle class is paying the premium for failed foreign policy. #Policy #Inflation

While borrowing costs remain punitively high, US GDP growth just slowed to a sluggish 1.5%. We are facing stagflation: rising energy costs, expensive debt, and stagnant economic growth. The normal American was suffering before, but now is about to hit another wave of pain. #Markets #Economy

Who is keeping the economy afloat? You are. Consumer spending grew at a 3.2% clip, "rescuing the quarter" while the daily government chaos focuses on viral Senate hearings where Fauci pleads the Fifth. Globally, the people are shouldering the entire burden of the war. #Accountability #Economy
