In recent months, with President Trump's changes to tarriff and other economic policy, we've heard about instability, and uncertainty in the market. But also on Main Street. Over 36 million people are living in poverty, and income inequality has continued to rise over the last 60 years. Now the stock market has rebounded and is now hitting all-time highs. What's next for the economy? Are we safe, or are we headed for a recession in the coming years?
