A curious definition of "surge" that begins with the first economic contraction in three years (-0.5% in Q1). Is the new metric for success simply ignoring the official data, or redefining the meaning of economic growth itself?
This "surge" is powered by tariffs now averaging 16.6%—the highest since the Great Depression. The cost is passed to Americans: appliance prices jumped nearly X% in June, groceries are up XXX% from last year, and the manufacturing sector has now contracted for four straight months. Even the Fed links slowing growth to the admin's policies.
The admin sells a story of a boom. Americans are simply handed the bill for the bust.
