Sign up for my free newsletter here: https://www.mauldineconomics.com/go/JM563K/YTB Dr. Lacy Hunt says the US economy is in a “very precarious situation.” Inflation is coming down, but prices are not. New cars and homes cost about 20% more than they did before the pandemic and remain out of reach for people on the middle and lower rungs of the economic ladder. The high cost of food isn’t helping, either. Inflation hurts those who can least afford...
