It is one of my favorites, and has an exceptionally memorable opening line.

We know from economic indicators that the economy had started in a recession a few years ago. Which means lagging indicators (ie employment) should start indicating the downturn. Today, another indicator of the recession has appeared - the inverted yield curve.

We know this was happening. Even the Fed (who historically is slow to recognize these symptoms) finally admitted it. Many industries that do innovate (ie steel reprocessors) have already cut back. Consumers, who protect themselves, are planning today for a recession that has started (ie due to mismanagement such as tax cuts). One question remains: how serious will it be?

Another indication of the Trump recession was released today. America's trade imbalance for this month has hit a new record high. What was one of the major factors that created the Great Depression? Tariffs were imposed. Only people trained in business schools would not understand that obvious fact repeatedly demonstrated in history.

And these include the naive Brits who now want Boris Johnson - and more tariffs.

No problem, we will cure this recession the some way we cured the Great Depression... War.
