Outside the Beltway

Only Nixon has been lower.

Nothing like a war of choice to send indicators in the wrong direction.

How it started and how it’s going.

USA! USA! USA!

Trade deficits, growth, and manufacturing not what was promised.

Facts are stubborn things.

A reminder.

Qui bono?

Be prepared for a rocky day and potentially more changes to “the plan”

What could possibly go wrong?
