Did you have discussions on redistricting with officials there?
Heading into midterms, what do they need to do?
What can they do?
Well, the consumer disregards partisan analyses like the Yale Budget Lab.
If you go look at the list of people who are on it, you'll understand what I mean.
And they look at the numbers that they see.
So right now, the Congressional Budget Office has said that we're looking at about $3 trillion in new tariffs to the United States.
That's something that's really going to help us balance the budget.
And all inflation numbers are lower than they've been in five
And so the idea that the tariffs are going to set off inflation and set off a recession is just not in the data.
And again, I remind that while the jobs numbers had this big kind of mysterious revision, if they didn't have the revision, then the jobs numbers were fully consistent with the 3% GDP growth we also saw last week.
Just the market seemed to believe the revisions in the numbers more than they believed the original numbers.
That's why you saw bond yields tumble on Friday.
Pause, please.
We are starting to see a real slowdown in the jobs market.
I think that like one of the explanations for revisions is they have more complete data.
And so I think it is likely that the revisions are a better read of the data if the data are not being manipulated.
And so, yeah, I would say that it's a little bit weaker.
And so, yeah, I would say that it is not being weaker.
And that's proving that the president was right about it.
