Want to give nightmares to Trump and his BBB.
STOP SPENDING AND START SAVING.
Consumers control 68-70% of GDP. A 90 billion drop in consumer spending would equal a .5% drop in GDP.
That means that if all the voters who did not vote for Trump, did not spend discretionay money of $1500 - $2000 in the economy but put that money into their savings, the GDP would drop for a second quarter by .5%. That means a recession! Would Powell react? No. Interest rates are rising due to Treasury selling.
Make Trump afraid of you. Quietly send his "rocket ship" economy into an Elon Musk explosion on the launch pad.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
