All he had to do is nothing[...]

I mean, the yield curve inversion last year is a pretty good indicator that economic hardship was to come, but the draconian nonsense he's fixed on certainly seem to have shortened the timetables and may very well make any issues dire than they would have been (on top of creating entirely unnecessary ones).

The Fed was close to pulling off a soft landing post Covid rate hikes so while we will obviously never know what the reality would have been with a Harris win, it appears these missteps all but guarantee hardship now
