Investors this year have grown increasingly confident the US economy will achieve a "soft landing."

But the election of Donald Trump as the nation's next president has complicated the outlook.

And some economists now think it's likely the US could face another inflation resurgence if Trump follows through with his key campaign promises.
"We are in the soft landing," Nobel prize-winning economist and Columbia University professor Joseph Stiglitz said at Yahoo Finance's annual Invest conference on Tuesday. "But that ends Jan. 20."

2. The economy has already had a soft landing.

They predicted a recession for years and it never happened.

Anything that happens from here on will be the fault of the trump cult.

Fuck all of them.

3. The economy will be more like nuking a hurricane

Trump tariffs will be like Nixon's wage and price controls. Free market republicans using government to foul things up.

4. These are the kinds of news stories

That would have been much more useful if it was printed before the election...
