And it begins😂😂😂😂

Now the media is seeing the writing on the wall.

The rush to mitigate a strong economy is on.

The main reason folks “feel” poor is because they do not have strong budgetary discipline, self control or personal accountability and survive on credit. Their mistakes are always someone elses predatory practices.

People lost 20-25% of purchasing power from 2020-2025. A person’s income would have to have increased 25% AFTER TAXES just to stay even. That’s why people feel poorer, because most people don’t make 30-35% more now vs then.
