Down! The lack of like the healthcare system you are used to would be hard and trans, gay and just women's health, lifespan declining because the laws related to her healthcare would be bad for the workplace The adjustment to the social decline would be hard if at all possible.

The tariffs would almost certainly raise the price of goods and services, which would mean the cost-of-living adjustment in Social Security benefits would have to increase. The cost-of-living adjustment for 2025 will be 2.5%. However, Trump’s tariffs are seen as widely inflationary and could lead to price increases that are above that level.
