Economic and Market Data Signal a Recession Is Coming

I would hope so with the current administration working as hard as they can to bring about a recession. They seemed to be personally offended when Biden somehow pulled off the soft landing. Recessions make it easier for the rich to consolidate power.

"somehow" is explained by the deficit spending and government hiring under Biden.

And of course I must also say that the landing never occurred so we can't say that it was soft. We are not yet back to 2% inflation

I know STEM folks like to disparage Economics as a dismal science but it has learned a few things and has scientific evidence to back them up. So far the current Admin is hitting a perfect trifecta of recession maximization: Tariffs, Economic Uncertainty, and Political Instability. You'd have to be a science denier to deny the obvious. Oh, wait.

I don't understand how your comment relates to mine unless you're assuming I'm saying things I haven't said
