Summary
We start with a little plug-in for “Tax Madness”—a series of high octane videos, breaking down a bracket of 64 everyday taxes to determine which one Americans hate the most. Then we shift to the global stage, unpacking rising tensions in the Middle East, oil market volatility, and what it could mean for the economy here at home. Plus, we dive into inflation data, warning signs in credit markets, and whether comparisons to 2008 hold any real weight.
