The US likely has the strongest economy in the world, if we keep giving tax cuts to the wealthiest and raise the debt ceiling by 4 Trillion dollars, on top of enacting programs like mass deportations with no cap on spending for that and which will take away a large base of people willing to work low wage jobs, who also work in farming, restaurants, factories,, food processing plants, construction and so on, and then add tariffs into imported products that will raise costs not only to our manufacturing base but to households; that may not take long to change

The GOP doesn't seem to have a very strong grasp of economics
