it's ever been. Now he says it will get better in six months to a year.

When is this lying ass lunatic going to be out of our lives?

With the economy anything is "possible" in a year.
That doesn't mean any of their policies are the cause.
Unless, of course, he rescinds all those stupid tariffs. That would be a good start.
Finally, despite his delusions, the economy was fine when he took over.
It's worse because he made it worse!

Just look at the wealth gap. Obviously he's making things much worse. More than tariffs, deregulation is going to cause an economic catastrophe

You're conflating 2 topics.
Not that wealth disparity isn't a major issue, but has nothing to do with the point.

Given things like wealth inequality leads to increased poverty, political instability, and our stock market growth is highly tied to a handful of companies, as well as the impact of inflation, heavy student loan debt, etc, it's hard to make a case that our economy has been fine in a long time.

Houses we need to send some serious bills for Canks to veto. Senate rules need to be changed. We should force him to veto a replacement for Roe V Wade, $15 minimum wage, restoration and expansion of union rights, ACA, repeal of tariffs etc. Do not let this mad man get protection from his senate puppets.

Saving grace is, discount rate decisions are made jointly by the Fed Board of Governors with input from the Fed regional banks. The Fed Chair is only one voice among many.

in fact, he'll probably announce the economy is better than any other economy in the whole universe.
