Yet protest signs rarely critique both Hamas and Israel equally.
This imbalance fuels confusion and backlash.

@pkrugman.bsky.social Bessent’s 3-3-3 Plan
lays out what should fix the deficit:
growth,
discipline,
energy.
But in reality, we’re seeing a nominal GDP illusion
fueled by inflation and tariffs, not reforms.
The result? Stagnation risk, not renewal.

Trump is a loose cannon—erratic and risky.
But Xi’s state monopoly trade model is a calculated threat to global prosperity and freedom. One disrupts; the other reshapes the world order.
Mistaking the former as the bigger danger could be history’s next great error.

Tariffs shift burdens by causing inflation & acting as a regressive tax, hitting low-income consumers, savers, & those on fixed incomes.
This benefits the wealthy, worsens income inequality, & indirectly aids US debt crisis as a hidden tax.
