Trump’s Reckless War Drains Wallets of Hardworking Americans

Republicans won’t lift a finger to rein in this deranged president, even as his reckless war drains the wallets of hardworking families and threatens even more pain ahead.

“War in the Middle East has upended the world economy, the International Monetary Fund said on Tuesday, warning in a report that disruptions to oil markets could slow growth, fuel inflation and raise the possibility of a global recession.

The sober message came after the global economy had largely weathered a pandemic, Russia’s war in Ukraine and soaring inflation without tipping into a recession. But President Trump’s decision to initiate a war in Iran has stopped the world economy in its tracks.” — The New York Times, Middle East War Will Slow Global Economic Growth, I.M.F. Warns
