Debating about Isreal having an outsized influence on our foreign policy is not antisemitic and appropriate. But lately everywhere, not just here if there is a problem it seems like the standard refrain is it is because of the Jews.
I am having trouble understanding his position. I do not know anything about him
Federal Reserve governor Stephen Miran dialed back his calls for how deeply the Fed should cut rates this year, telling an interviewer that recent data have reflected a stronger economy than he had expected.

Have not found one yet most seem to be in agreement that tariffs are passed on to the consumer much like higher corporate taxes. I tried to find some ways or categories where tariffs have impacted Americans.
