The U.S. economy has been in bad shape for a long time. Now, even government’s very flawed GDP statistic (which incorrectly counts government spending as a positive) came up negative for Q1. A recession may be imminent, with skyrocketing inflation at the same time. The Fed and the politicians keep painting themselves into a corner by foolishly trying to control a market that cannot be controlled.
