This brings to mind the "Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth."

US GDP rose last quarter—but so did inflation. Gross domestic product (GDP) grew 2% in Q1, up from 0.5% in the fourth quarter of 2025, and a sign of some economic resilience despite the ongoing Iran war. That increase, however, fell short of the 2.2% estimate, and it also came with another major caveat: Due to rising energy prices, inflation rose 0.2% in March to 3.2%, while the Fed’s preferred gauge, which includes gas and grocery prices, jumped 0.7% to 3.5%.

I have almost come to the end with mainstream media! Their constant spin of "Trump says," twenty-four seven is over for me.

We can unite again!
