Merkley highlights troubling economic outlook under Trump

so the Congressional Budget Office just dropped a report that seriously lays out the mess Trump and his crew have made of our economy and it’s like a wake-up call that we can’t ignore anymore, Merkley’s statement really hits home when he says that the economic outlook is clear and it’s not pretty, they spent the past year playing games while the rest of us are left to deal with the fallout and it’s just frustrating to see how their policies have made life harder for everyday Americans, like they’re sitting in a fancy restaurant throwing crumbs at us while we’re starving outside, we need leaders who actually care about the people and not just their own interests, this is about accountability and making sure that those in power don’t just get to waltz away from the consequences of their actions, it’s time to hold them accountable and demand better for our democracy and our future, we can’t let this slide anymore, we have to stand up and fight for what’s right, check out the report for yourself (https://www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-member/newsroom/press/ranking-member-merkley-statement-on-cbo-baseline-2026)
