The Storm Is Not Coming—It’s Already Here
If 2008 was the wake-up call, this is the nightmare.
In the months before the Global Financial Crisis, the Fed, the White House, and every blue-chip talking head on CNBC swore everything was “contained.” Subprime was a blip. Lehman was fine. The economy was strong.
We all know how that ended.
Fast-forward to today, and we’re living through the same movie—but this time, the villain isn’t subprime mortgages. It’s economic policy dressed up as patriotism.
Tariffs have returned with a vengeance. The new “Liberation Day” doctrine might sound good on a podium, but on the ground, it’s a different story: fewer imports, less competition, and fewer dollars leaving the country. That means more money chasing fewer goods—a guaranteed formula for runaway price increases across every major sector.
The Next Inflation Wave Will Be Domestic
As foreign goods get hit with tariffs, prices spike. Consumers pivot to local alternatives, pushing demand for domestic goods through the roof. Now prices rise again, this time on homegrown products. Your groceries, your hardware, your utilities—everything gets more expensive. This isn’t inflation you can print away. This is baked-in economic physics.
And while that’s happening, the trade deficit shrinks. Sounds good, right?
Not so fast.
Because when fewer dollars leave the country, fewer foreign investors buy our debt. That pushes long-term interest rates up—which hits mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, and corporate borrowing right between the eyes. It also makes refinancing our $36+ trillion debt a slow-moving disaster.
Tax Cuts + Tariffs = Fiscal Suicide
At the same time, Washington is handing out tax cuts like party favors. The middle class cheers, but here’s what they don’t see coming: those cuts will fuel demand for goods that are no longer cheap or abundant. More spending, fewer goods, higher prices. Meanwhile, the deficit balloons.
So what happens next?
The Fed Will Misdiagnose—Again
The Federal Reserve will mistake the symptoms of their own addiction for illness. As the economy slows under the weight of higher prices and rising rates, they’ll cut rates. Inflation? “Transitory,” they’ll say. Just like they said before.
Then, when that doesn’t work, they’ll return to Quantitative Easing—injecting trillions of fake liquidity into a market already on fire. But this time, the fire is inside the walls, and the water they’ll use to fight it is gasoline.
This won’t be 1970s stagflation.
This will be stagflation with a debt bomb strapped to its chest.
The Dollar Is the Next Casualty
As interest rates and inflation move like opposing wrecking balls, the dollar itself becomes the final domino. A weakening dollar won’t just raise import prices—it’ll destabilize confidence globally. And with deficits surging, the Fed’s only response will be more of what caused the problem: stimulus, QE, artificial lifelines.
In short: we are printing our way to poverty.
What Comes Next—and Why We’re Positioned for It
This isn’t a speculative forecast. This is the logical outcome of incompatible policies clashing in real time:
- Cut taxes.
- Increase tariffs.
- Inflate demand.
- Strangle supply.
- Print money.
- And pretend you can outrun arithmetic.
We built GLion Trades to thrive in this exact moment.
When fiat currencies collapse, commodities ascend.
When speculation dies, cash flow survives.
When systems fail, supply chains rule.
We don’t need your belief. We already own the product. Move the product. Get paid from the movement.
This isn’t doom porn.
It’s math.
And history.
And blood in the streets—if you’re not holding the right assets.
You can pretend it’s all noise like you did in 2007.
Or you can act like the smartest people in the room already have.
Because the Fed will print.
The people will panic.
And we’ll be moving product in both directions—before and after the crash.
This isn’t theory.
It’s policy.
It’s practice.
It’s already happening.
