A Federal Reserve–induced depression!
By Frank Ryan
Our nation is facing a perfect financial storm that will affect the lives of our citizens for decades to come. Not since World War II has an economy such as in the United States had to transition so dramatically.
After World War II, the U. S. moved from a wartime footing to a peacetime, private sector–controlled economy. Europe benefited from the Marshall Plan, which included generous protections in terms of tariffs for Europe and the rest of the world at the expense of U.S. businesses. President Trump is successfully restoring balance, almost 35 years after prior administrations should have restored free trade and tariff equilibrium.
In 2025, the United States is once again in a massive transition from a government sector–controlled economy to a private sector–controlled economy. The U. S. economy with its $37 trillion in debt is strategically vulnerable to economic disaster. The ongoing deficits and high interest rates will only exacerbate the problem. We cannot, as a nation, continue to function as we have since Clinton-Gingrich last balanced the budget.
Unfortunately, unlike at the end of World War II, the Federal Reserve is operating contrary to rational economic policy.
Monetary policy and fiscal policy must be consistently applied, or the economic outcomes will be unpredictable.
