Sufficient just means it is not arbitrary - cannot be otherwise. You cannot ask why this reason and not the other one.

It's funny how raising taxes is probably the best thing this administration can do given their goals.
That would immediately decrease inflation, public debt, budged&trade deficit.

I think, if recession happens, it would not be gradual but "sudden stop" caused by panic from some event nobody predicted.
Every recession is caused by some initial trigger that introduces panic and through it fall in demand (nominal gdp)

Not what? Tariff’s inflation is not caused by increased money supply. So FED can’t do anything. It’s ECON 101.
I’m just not sure how financial markets are not seeing this

Interesting...
Tariffs produce supply side inflation not demand side inflation. FED interest rates can not control supply side inflation so it is often ignored and it is temporary and reversible.

Isn't that what they wanted? The goal is to reduce interest rates.

Animals can not think in abstractions and this is why they can not:
Plan
Coordinate
Speak
Laugh
Build complex machinery
Do science
Have deliberate action (agency)
It all requires abstract representation as second brain

Having abstract representation on top of perceptual representation is what makes us different from animals.
Perception is always changing and thus motives are always fleeting. But abstract concepts NEVER changes due to changes in perception and this is way we can PLAN and EXECUTE it TOMORROW.

The fact that I can book a flight for tommorow and actually show up is only possible because I am guided by ABSTRACT motive independent of present perception.
Animals can not do that as animal is always guided by motives that appear in perception so he is destined to always live in "the present"
