Ten state treasurers and one state auditor just pulled the alarm on America’s economic future, and their message is simple: Congress, do your job.
In a fiery open letter, the financial watchdogs warned that the U.S. is teetering on economic collapse — and they’re pointing fingers at the Trump administration’s trade wars, rising borrowing costs, and threats to the Federal Reserve’s independence.
The data is chilling: A $6.6 trillion stock market loss in just two days, the dollar hit a three-year low, and consumer confidence has crashed to near-Great Recession levels.
The twist — they’re not just blaming Trump. They’re calling out Congress for sitting on its hands. The Constitution gives Congress power over trade, tariffs, and economic policy — not the White House.
The message is clear — this isn’t about red or blue. It’s about governance — and the credibility of the United States is on the line.
