    I’m surprised no one has been mentioning the federal cuts and layoffs as a point of concern for the economic forecast.

    Obviously the tarrifs are really bad, but stopping payments to a large number of organizations and laying off a lot of people is also probably going to have significant impacts too.

      It’s not at the same scale, that’s why it also doesn’t actually make a difference in “saving money”

        I actually think the impacts to the federal government will have farther reaching and longer lasting impacts than the tariffs.

        I know a lot of people in that space and what’s going on is somewhat terrifying.
