The president's economic policies, particularly the imposition of sweeping tariffs, are deeply concerning and risk causing significant harm to American consumers and businesses. According to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, the tariffs are likely to generate inflation, slow economic growth, and increase unemployment - a pernicious combination known as stagflation. Automakers like Ford have already been forced to raise prices due to the tariffs, passing costs onto consumers. Additionally, Trump's chaotic leadership and deregulatory agenda risk undermining critical government agencies and consumer protections. I urge you to take decisive action to rein in the president's reckless economic policies and restore fiscal responsibility and stability. Unchecked, Trump's approach threatens to erase hard-won economic gains and leave Americans worse off. Congress must uphold its constitutional role as a co-equal branch of government and serve as a check on the president's concerning overreach.
