Recent policies and events suggest that the economy may be heading towards stagflation. With tariffs, restrictive immigration policies, and the coming end of student loan payment freezes, inflation may rise while growth slows. Key legislation like the proposed Big Beautiful Bill could further exacerbate inflation and dampen growth. Investors and analysts must prepare for these potential economic shifts, as they could impact investment decisions and market stability. The ramifications of these policies call for vigilance among those engaged in economic and financial planning.
