The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

BREAKING: Billionaires in America now hold a record $7.6 TRILLION in wealth.
That's a $4.7 TRILLION increase since the last Trump tax scam.
Yes, wealth increase is a form of INCOME. And most of that income will never be taxed.
This is why we need a Billionaires Income Tax.

Spending rose; DOGE's cuts killed. #econsky
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.
