The Consumer Confidence Index for January, released this morning, plummeted more than nine points to its lowest level since 2014.

It’s now worse than during the pandemic.

We need to pressure the CEOs to ask out loud, why are we spending $140 billion on a goon squad? We could be spending that money on things that help the American economy.

We have to speak their language.

The Big beautiful Bill failed. DOGE failed. We need to repeal all of that now.
Not tomorrow, not after the election. Right now.
