Financial Survival Network, Released on 2/10/25
As positive as Donald Trump’s agenda maybe, he cannot stop the incoming recession, for one simple reason, it’s already here and has been here for at least several years. Once the Bureau of Labor Statistics is gone over by DOGE, we expect them to find out that the BLS was cooking the employment and inflation numbers for years. Once the true inflation rate is shown, it will become obvious to the least sophisticated citizen that the economy has been posting real negative growth for many years. This will be a wake up call and could have devastating impacts on the dollar and other asset classes.
