I’m wondering if after a little short term pain (due to the uncertainty related to the tariffs), the manufacturing jobs will come back again with that more gusto (I know being an optimist is frowned upon here).
70 years of terrible industrial policy will take more than a quarter to correct.
The bond market loves the tariffs. Pay attention to real economic indicators and not the talking heads who aren’t knowledgeable.
We will see. Elsewhere, Canada’s unemployment rate rose to 7.1%. The highest since 2016.
An optimistic poster on Free Republic is nearly as rare as the passenger pigeon...
