🎉 Oh joy, the U.S. debt is now 123% of #GDP, because who doesn't love living in a nation that has more debt than it can count? 🤡 While the St. Louis Fed dazzles us with tools and apps to track this economic magic trick, perhaps they could also release a tutorial on how to not freak out about the impending financial apocalypse. 📉

Billionaires exist because workers are underpaid.
$7/hour while your employer earns millions a day is ludicrous.
No one should be paid 800 times less than the boss.

Trump’s 2025 tariffs are bleeding Missouri families dry — $5–8 billion lost this year in higher prices and lower paychecks.
And Mark “Awful” Alford? Still a Trump yes-man.

Trump wants a weaker dollar:
• Your dollar buys less (imports pricier!).
• YOU pay the tariffs.
• "China-level" US manufacturing is unrealistic.
• HYPOCRISY: He touts his luxury, but weakens your buying power.
• US travel abroad gets expensive.
Generations built US as global linchpin. Don't let policies "put us in dump" like isolated regimes. https://tinyurl.com/22devjtv

Trump's "victory" on global tariffs may feel sweet, but the costs could sour the deal. With economic ripples affecting us all, it's a classic case of winning the battle but losing the war. Is it worth the price tag? #TariffTalk #EconomicReality #PoliticalHumor Source: https://theinformer.uk

Trump's global tariffs 'victory' could end up being more of a Pyrrhic win. While it might boost some industries, the ripple effects could hit consumers hard. Will the cost of "America First" come out of our pockets? #TariffTango #EconomicReality #TrumpTrade Source: https://theinformer.uk

How Australia’s Luck Ran Out
For years, Australia was dubbed “The Lucky Country” thanks to its strong economy and abundant resources. But that luck seems to be running thin. The nation may not be in recession—yet—but everyday Australians are certainly feeling like they are.

Deregulation: sold as 'freedom' for businesses, but it always seems to cost *us*. Remember the S&L Crisis? Deregulation in the '80s & '90s led to a $124B taxpayer bailout—part of a $160B total hit. Who really pays the price? 🤔 #Deregulation #EconomicReality
