The latest economic figures suggest we're not in a recession. But new ABS data shows our overall life satisfaction is in decline. So which numbers should we trust?

Inflation has surged to its highest level in years, driven by soaring fuel prices, higher energy costs and global instability.For households already squeezed by rate rises, the pressure is mounting. Is this a short‑term shock the Reserve Bank can look through or the start of another prolonged inflation fight?What happens next for interest rates, wages, jobs, and the economy as a whole just one week before the Budget?Guests:Diana Mousina, Deputy Chief Economist, AMPDavid Bassanese, Chief Economist, BetaSharesShow links:See how the price of everything has changed, ABC News StoryLab, March 30, 2026Consumer Price Index, Australian Bureau of Statistics, March 29, 2026Why the official inflation rate feels wrong, The Economy Stupid, October 30, 2025Stagflation is about to push unemployment higher: here's what to expect, The Economy Stupid, March 26, 2026

Forget men in women's locker rooms or on girls' sports teams and campaign on tax cuts and Democrats' opposition to them.

"It's the economy, stupid," is a catchphrase that means the primary concern of American voters is the state of the American economy and how that economy affects their personal finances. It was a phrase coined by a strategist in Bill Clinton's successful presidential campaign, and it's pretty much what Christopher Luxon campaigned on in 2023. The Labour Government were, and I paraphrase, incompetent economic vandals who had done incalculable damage to the New Zealand economy and only by electing a National Party into government could New Zealand's fortunes be restored. That was pretty much the narrative going into ‘23. Add to that a little bit of light law and order and education and you had the election campaign. Three years on we're heading into another election, and the economic headlines are grim. Example: ASB economists have joined Westpac in forecasting that the economy will contract in the second quarter of the year. Households are only just starting to feel some relief according to ASB's chief economist Nick Tuffley. Higher fuel prices are now squeezing budgets again. That pressure will be felt right across the economy. Here's another headline: Finance Minister Nicola Willis has revealed inflation is set to go much higher this year and sit outside the Reserve Bank's target band of 1 to 3%. Here's another: Prospects for a recovery in the labour market this year appear to have dimmed with any decline in the unemployment rate looking more like a story for next year. Infometrics said any signs the economy was starting to recover would most likely be put on hold. Here's another: Wattie's factory closures, boss blames soaring manufacturing costs. Contrast that with Christopher Luxon back in 2023 and his bullish promises that help was on the way, first when he was speaking to me in July. “It's going to be a big turnaround job because I think actually we've got a great country but a lot of it is going to be pretty decayed by the time we get there in terms of health, education, housing, the economy, law and order. But that's why I've got my team working on that right now because when we get there, we're not forming steering review, you know we had what was it, 230 working groups to do reviews of stuff. We're going to be ready to go on day one and we're going to have to move at 100ks an hour. “So we will have to be really, really clear about the things that we need to transform and actually step up and change a lot and it is going to be education, it is going to be healthcare, it is going to have to be the economy, making sure we're making every dollar count and get a payback for it.” And this was Christopher Luxon in November: “I don't want people to give up hope. You know, we can actually get to a better and a different place from where we sit today, but we do have to go to work now and we have to go sort out the challenges and we have to realise the opportunities we've got in front of us, and we have to be straight up about it and get it done and get the country turned around.” Hmm. Have they? No. They won't be able to campaign on that. Is some of it due to external forces like the fuel crisis? Absolutely. But there were no caveats in the promise that things would turn around and things would get better. Could Labour have done any better? Hell no. I mean they'd already shown they can't cope in a crisis other than throwing money around and locking people up. They simply have no answers. Thank God they're not the government right now otherwise we'd all be working from home and homeschooling the kids because of the fuel crisis or strong winds. But when you look at the polls and you wonder to yourself how on earth could anyone possibly see Labour, the Greens, and Te Pāti Māori as a viable government, what you're seeing are voters who were promised much and have yet to see the delivery.

"It's the economy, stupid." The Russian Federation is in full rigor mortis.In this massive, breaking-news episode of The Eastern Border, we conduct a full Gonzo autopsy on a collapsing empire. We track the Kremlin's 3.5 trillion ruble deficit, a record 1.1 trillion ruble physical cash bank run, and the rotting 70-year-old infrastructure keeping the military-industrial complex barely alive.But the rot goes much deeper than macro-economics. From freezing peasants being told to skip their morning coffee to afford heating bills, to state monopolies using OMON riot police to burn healthy Siberian cows, the Russian state is violently cannibalizing its own rural working class.And then, the dam finally breaks. We cover the unprecedented, real-time mutiny of top Kremlin attack dog Ilya Remeslo. The man who spent a decade hunting the opposition just published a massive manifesto calling Vladimir Putin an illegitimate 13-ruble thief and a war criminal, openly inviting Vladimir Solovyev to join a media coup. The system is suffering a catastrophic psychological collapse, and we have the full, unfiltered intercept.Support the bunker and keep the true Gonzo journalism flowing:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theeasternborderOfficial Merch: https://theeasternborder-shop.fourthwall.com/Help the Frontline: https://car4ukraine.com/Here's the link to YouTube as this has a video version too, I dressed up in my best Gonzo attire and set up the webcam to do a pretty one (for the views) this time.

* Americans aren't feeling good about the economy and how the Trump administration is handling things. We'll break it down and what it could mean for the midterms * We'll check in with Jerry Bologna from JEDCO for an update on how businesses in Jefferson Parish are doing and what they've got planned for 2026

Donald Trump wilde het deze week eens niet over de oorlogen hebben die hij al zou hebben beëindigd, nee de economie was nu aan de beurt. Al kregen ook daar de Democraten er weer flink van langs, zag Amerika-correspondent Jan Postma.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we reflect on a rare missed recording and share a series of listener stories that raise broader questions about compassion, responsibility, and civic duty. We examine claims surrounding illegal orders in the military and the role of oaths and institutional accountability before turning to the “foolishness of the week,” including the internet's ability to amplify extremism and reward outrage. We then shift to why Americans consistently believe the economy is doing worse than the data suggests, exploring consumer sentiment, inflation, wages, housing costs, and the lingering psychological effects of pandemic-era stimulus. We close by discussing housing as both shelter and investment, the realities of rent and mortgage affordability, student loan debt, rising expectations, and why economic anxiety persists even in periods of growth. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:31 Missing an Episode for the First Time 02:28 Listener Gift and Firefighter Calendar Story 03:52 A Belated Christmas Story of Compassion 07:13 Mark Kelly, Illegal Orders, and Military Oaths 12:40 Foolishness of the Week: Nazi Dating Sites 15:08 The “Village Idiot” Theory and the Internet 18:07 Why Americans Think the Economy Is Terrible 22:08 Consumer Sentiment vs. Economic Data 24:37 Inflation, Wages, and Why It Still Feels Worse 29:27 COVID Stimulus Effects and Income Perception 33:30 Housing Costs, Rent, and Homeownership Myths 37:10 Mortgage Rates, Rent Increases, and Risk 41:04 Housing as Shelter vs. Housing as Investment 45:29 Why People Still Can't Afford Homes 48:33 Social Media, Expectations, and Lifestyle Inflation 51:02 Student Loan Debt and the Real Affordability Crisis 55:14 College Costs, Tradeoffs, and Financial Reality 57:44 Expectations, Advertising, and Economic Anxiety 01:00:40 Why Consumer Sentiment May Never Fully Recover Learn more about your ad choices.

Affordability is the “new theme that Democrats are using against the Trump administration,” and it appears the administration thinks its “foreign policy successes would mitigate any criticism.”   Victor Davis Hanson illustrates the dangers of presidents not heeding the economy's significance with voters, drawing on one of history's most notorious examples: former President George H.W. Bush, during today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”     Bush lost his reelection in 1992 because he and his campaign didn't take his opponents seriously nor did they think the economy was a worthy platform to run on.   “ The economy is on the uptake. Donald Trump is overseas with a lot of successes. And the same Democrats are saying: It's affordability, stupid. And they need to get out in front of that issue and not discount it in the way that Republicans did in 1992.”

On Wednesday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan explains how Democrats are trying to use their own economic failure to win the midterms using the Cloward-PIven Strategy. Plus, President Trump unveils his gold cards and Dan uses that to discuss the broader issues surrounding legal migration.

Last week the microscopic cracks of doubt in the Trump administration evolved into deep fissures on Fox News. Several on-air personalities openly plead with their glorious leader that he needed to change his messaging on the affordability crisis quickly or the country could be headed for a blue wave tsunami.Just a year ago these same overpaid mouthpieces of the Trump propaganda machine celebrated his win and thanked their viewers for voting for him.Now they cannot hide their panic. Trump is trying to lie to the American public by calling the affordability crisis a Democratic hoax.In many ways Fox News created their own monster. By putting all of the blame on Biden for inflation Fox reinforced the idea that a president can guide an economy like a sailboat. This is a public episode.

A quick episode offering some context on the uncertain times we find ourselves in. Reading the consumer press, it's hard not to be concerned about the direction of our larger US economy. And although we are not (yet) officially in a recession, being aware so that we can best react (proactively, ideally) and plan is the best place for most of us to start.*Note: this episode was published originally as #112

THIS WEEK: John and Asher reads through Chapters 10-12 of Vineland, which takes them back in their shared semester at the College of the Surf (John was Asher's RA). We also learn about the scintillating backstory of Frenesi Gates and her love affair with a COP (ew)--the betrayal of all her ostensible values. We also talk Marx, Freud, Lyotard, Thorazine as a bad-trip-killer, cinematic radicalism, the horny monster who lives inside of you and makes you do stuff you shouldn't want to (or even don't want to) do, May '68, the Emerald Triangle, and the Pynchonian figure of the evil dentist.THEN: Asher is joined by Dimitri and Khalid of the Subliminal Jihad podcast to talk about Pynchon's ties (literary and otherwise) to deep state conspiracism, occult machinations, and all things para-political (or as the boys would say it: political). The truth is out there? WRONG AGAIN. The truth is in...here.MUSIC:Kimi-Bogdan Raczynski

Political bluster doesn't lower anyone's grocery bill, and that's reflected in the latest polling about how the president is handling the economy — and the latest numbers don't even take into account the newest round of anger sweeping Americans now that President Trump is giving Argentina a massive buyout (enough to pay for the health insurance discounts he's taking away) and is also offering to import more beef from South America. Rural voters and consumers are wondering who they voted for.

It's the Economy Stupid! Well, apparently Fed Chair Powell still hasn't got the memo. The economy is boomin' in spite of the Fed not lowering rates but the liberal media grasps to fake numbers to make Trump look bad. James T. and Producer Aaron go over why Americans will do the hard work and also give info on Snap benefits in Arizona. James T. goes over the history of Genes/Jeans commercial and also points out a copycat commercial liberals have no issues with. We also have DEI, coffee cuties, and Pelosi competing for clown of the week.

In 2017, Donald Trump reportedly scrawled “trade is bad” in the margins of a speech — a blunt rejection of economic orthodoxy that has transformed global politics.  Economists tend to see international trade as good for everyone - a rising tide that lifts all boats. So why do so many voters, in the U.S. and elsewhere, feel like they're being left behind?  

The Trump administration has canceled $33 million worth of federal funds meant to help pay for earthquake retrofits in California — sparking “grave concern” and a call to reconsider from one of the state's highest elected officials. Los Angeles hotel operators are threatening to withdraw from agreements to provide discounted rooms for the 2028 Olympic Games over a city ordinance that will significantly boost the minimum wage for hotel and airport workers. American travelers plan to take shorter trips this summer, with 41% surveyed taking a trip of three nights or fewer compared with 37% last year, according to a Deloitte report. More than half of Americans expect to spend less on fun expenses — like entertainment, travel and eating out. Nearly two-thirds of Americans say they think a recession is coming, according to a new survey from LendingTree. In the survey, conducted in April, 47 percent of respondents say they think a recession is coming in the next six months, while 15 percent say they think a recession is coming “but not in the next 6 months.”

In an overnight ruling blocking the Trump administration from deporting a group of Venezuelans, the justices ignored some of their protocols. Your favorite political fighter might be making you more polarized than you realize—but not for the reasons you think. Consumer confidence is plunging, bond markets are panicking, and gas prices are coming down alarmingly quickly. Southern California home prices barely rose last month, as would-be buyers weren't able — or willing — to bid up housing costs much further.

With Trump's chaotic tariff moves shocking markets and spurring vast uncertainty about the economic outlook, Democrats see a political opening. Could the issue — so central to Trump's political fortunes in 2024 — suddenly become his kryptonite? And what precisely are Democrats doing to make that happen? POLITICO national politics correspondent Brakkton Booker joins Playbook deputy editor Zack Stanton to talk it through. Plus, SCOTUS says the Trump administration must “facilitate” the return of a man erroneously deported to a mega-prison in El Salvador.

For more than a century, the US dollar has been on a continuous downward slope of devaluation, thanks in no small part to the interventionist monetary policies of the United States government. From the very outset of our nation's founding, paper money, that is, fiat currency, has had an abysmal history. This may be what is happening to the economy – it must be broken to make way for the digitalized globalization of the world economy. The day they declare that the old economy is dead and a new platform economy be established, those who haven't invested in precious metals and other substantive investments are going to feel stupid. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com), Clyde Lewis talks with financial analyst, Alan Johnson about IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Many decisions shaping our lives revolve around the economy. From famous quotes by Reagan and Carville to recent legal battles, it's clear that economic policy and government actions impact more than just finances. This exploration connects political choices, court rulings, and economic outcomes to reveal the broader influence they have on our rights and daily lives.

This is the first installment of the 538 Politics podcast mini-series, “Campaign Throwback.” Across three episodes, we're taking a look back at campaign tropes from past elections such as, “it's the economy, stupid,” or “soccer moms” or that question about which candidate you'd rather share a beer with. We'll ask where those tropes came from, whether they were actually true at the time and if they still hold up today. Our first installment: “It's the economy, stupid.” It's a trope that dates back to Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. Clinton's chief strategist at the time, James Carville, had three main messages for his staff to remember: 1) Change vs. more of the same 2) The economy, stupid, and 3) Don't forget about healthcare. The second message was memorialized in a 1993 documentary about the Clinton campaign called "The War Room," and has taken on a life of its own in the field of election analysis. But is it accurate?
