The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow tracker of incoming data is indicating that gross domestic product is on pace to shrink by 1.5% for the first quarter.

The tarifs will give us so much money that our economy will grow again. Just wait and see.

You know when you punish a kid they don't immediately obey. They think if they cry, scream and barter they will get their way. In other words the kid will fight against rules being enforced. Guess what's happening? The world is fighting back at the new order and they will quickly realize they have no power. Like Canada learned. Shit. We might make greenland a new state... rofl.

MAGA laughing all the way to the destruction of the US.

The stupidest man alive destroying the greatest country the world has ever seen with the help of the next 77,302,580 stupidest people alive.

MAGA lives in facebook memes and twitter echo chambers. Reality never touches their brains which is how you get people like obaminated and cherub.

LOL. So we on this side of the border will see the benefits? How??

New England almost exclusively on one oil refinery. That refinery is located in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Irving Oil Refinery. They own multiple tank farms where gasoline, #2 Fuel Oil, Diesel, Propane, kerosene etc. are stored. The larges being their tank farm in Revere Mass. They sell more petroleum products through the Revere tank farm than they do to all their other market areas, including Maine, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island combined.
Whatever tariff is levied on those products will be immediately put on the buyers of those products. Which means the consumers.
New England is also a huge customer of Hydro Quebec and other suppliers in Canada that generate Electric power.

Once again Trusk is taking care of the average Americans?

New England voted for Kamala. Your interests are not Trump's priority.

Should have voted for the right man.

Rugian, if I Recall you live in the Boston area. I'm guessing that you don't have to drive much so you don't care. But you probably have electric bills, all products that you do buy have to be transported by truck. Your prices will go up along with mine. Fortunately I don't put more than 20 miles a week on my car. But I do heat with oil.

I made a post on this a few weeks ago. Massachusetts already has some of the highest electricity rates in the entire country.

There's a lot of reasons for that...but Democratic policies & liberal activists both here and in New York and Maine have contributed to that. So no, I'm not aligned with your side on this one.

Didn't ask you to align to my side. You will be in the same boat as me though. So pick up an oar and row or you won't get any food or water :)

Either the Atlanta fed has mucked something up, or we're screwed.

It's a volatile forecast by design - it's normal for it to experience wild swings as the Fed feeds it new data points each day.

It was at +3.9% as of early February for context.
