Petition to Cease and Desist Funding the Trump Administration to All State Governors and the United States Supreme Court

We, the people of the United States, hereby petition you to immediately cease and desist the funding of our state-collected tax dollars to the Trump administration due to gross misuse, abuse of power, and unconstitutional practices. We do not want our hard-earned money funding crimes against humanity, this dismantling of democracy, or the enrichment of corrupt policy elites. We refuse to be complicit in the destruction of the American values and civil rights. The federal government has weaponized our money against us and against the vulnerable.

This petition is a declaration of financial independence. If the federal government will not represent us, then it will not receive our money.

Under the Trump administration, the treatment of immigrants has been nothing short of criminal. Children seeking refuge were ripped from their parents, locked in cages, and in many cases adopted out with no effort to reunite them. These actions are not just oversights, they are orchestrated acts of cruelty. As of now, more than 5,400 children have been separated from their families, with hundreds still unaccounted for. In total, over 5,500 children were separated under the Zero Tolerance policy between 2017 and 2018. These children were placed into foster care systems—at one point nearly 12,800 were held in federal facilities—and some were adopted out entirely. This is a violation of human rights.

As of mid-2025, ICE is holding nearly 56,000 detainees—far exceeding its official capacity—with projections to expand to 100,000 beds under a $170 billion “Big Beautiful Bill,” of which at least $45 billion is earmarked just for detention facilities. Private prison contractors are cashing in, while over 32 percent of those detained now face no criminal charges—up from just 6 percent earlier this year. Into 2025, more children remained separated: seven Venezuelan minors were repatriated this July, yet at least thirty-two others are still held in U.S. custody. Around one thousand families separated under the first Trump term remain unreunited. The Department of Homeland Security reports nearly 1,360 children—about thirty percent of those separated—have still not been traced or reunited with their parents, six years later. Official records also show that as of January 2025, ICE had failed to serve court notices to over 233,000 unaccompanied minors. Elsewhere, more than 178 Venezuelan migrants were held at Guantánamo early this year—the largest detention of unaccompanied minors on military grounds.

More than 33,000 complaints have been filed with the Department of Homeland Security and ICE detailing physical and sexual abuse, filthy conditions, medical neglect, and psychological trauma. Families have described being forced to sleep on cold concrete floors without blankets, fed spoiled food, infested with worms and insects, and given contaminated drinking water with a foul smell. Over the past seven years, more than 12,000 reports of sexual assault and abuse have been recorded in ICE detention facilities. Between 2015 and 2021 alone, 308 formal complaints of sexual assault or abuse were filed, and yet less than 1 percent were investigated. From 2010 to 2017, over 1,200 sexual abuse complaints were recorded. Nearly 200 more were documented going back to 2007. Hundreds of women have reported abuse, and at least 43 women at the Irving County Detention Center in Georgia alleged that they underwent invasive gynecological procedures without consent, many of them Black or Latina. Reports of forced hysterectomies have been confirmed.
Children have been denied basic care, placed in freezing cold rooms, with little to no access to hygiene, and subjected to emotional trauma that will follow them for life. Detainees were discovered in cold, unsanitary conditions while shackled—sometimes unconscious—before dying from neglect. At least thirteen immigrant children have died while in U.S. custody or shortly after release in 2018, and more than one hundred people have died in ICE custody overall. Women have lost pregnancies, babies have been born in shackles, and still many remain separated from their parents. Less than ten percent of immigrants taken into ICE custody are violent offenders, yet the overwhelming majority are treated as dangerous criminals. By mid-2025, at least thirteen more detainees have died just this year, including individuals as young as nineteen and as old as seventy-five. Many of these deaths were linked to neglect, untreated medical conditions, and exposure to freezing temperatures inside poorly managed detention centers. Despite repeated warnings about facility conditions, proper heating and medical staff remain grossly inadequate. In February 2025, a stillbirth occurred at one detention facility. Several other pregnant women have reported being denied prenatal care, forced to endure labor in shackles, or suffering miscarriages after medical requests were ignored. Reports from multiple centers describe women bleeding for hours without attention, and some giving birth on concrete benches or in transport vans. Many of these women are Black or Latina, and their treatment reflects a pattern of medical abuse that has gone unchecked for years.
Meanwhile, ICE’s detained population has surged, growing from thirty-nine thousand two hundred thirty-eight to forty-one thousand one hundred sixty-nine in just weeks in early 2025, with nearly forty-one percent of new detainees having no criminal charges at all. Of the nearly fifty-eight thousand individuals held in custody by late June 2025, seventy-one point seven percent had no criminal convictions. Of the two hundred four thousand two hundred ninety-seven people booked into custody so far that year, sixty-five percent had no convictions at all, and ninety-three percent had not been convicted of any violent crime. In early June 2025, nearly forty-seven percent of all ICE arrests were of people with no criminal charges—up dramatically from twenty-one percent in early May. Daily arrests surged past twelve hundred, with some days exceeding two thousand, as the administration pushed to fill detention centers beyond capacity. ICE detention numbers topped fifty-seven thousand eight hundred by June, making it one of the highest detention figures in recent history. At the same time, ICE legal officers were ordered to block bond hearings and delay releases, intentionally driving up detention totals even for non-criminals.

Between January twenty-second and January thirty-first, 2025, ICE made more than eight thousand two hundred arrests, averaging eight hundred twenty-six per day—while daily deportations at that time averaged only six hundred sixty-one, falling behind the previous administration.

ICE also routinely undercounts its detainee population. The Government Accountability Office found that almost forty-two percent of those detained in 2022—more than two hundred thousand people—weren’t included in the official statistics, including those in short-term or temporary facilities tied to border operations. That means nearly half the people detained went untracked and undocumented in public data.

ICE places thousands of detainees in solitary confinement over fourteen thousand times between 2018 and 2023, with average stays of nearly a month. Some individuals endured solitary for more than a year, which the United Nations considers torture. The UN states that any period of solitary confinement over fifteen days is a human rights violation. These are not isolated incidences. This is a systemic method of psychological abuse, and still many remain separated from their family or parents. This is not border security. This is state-sanctioned trauma, and we, the people, will no longer pay for it.

ICE is no longer just a federal agency. It has become a political weapon. Many of its ranks now include January 6th insurrectionists who should be prosecuted as domestic terrorists and members of hate groups like the Proud Boys who have been openly aligned with white nationalism. This is not immigration enforcement. This is ideological cleansing built on fear, cruelty, and unchecked power. Alarming reports continue to surface linking ICE agents to extremist ideologies, and the lack of meaningful oversight has allowed radicalized individuals and sympathizers of domestic terrorism to embed themselves within the system. In the absence of background accountability, ICE has become a haven for white nationalist leanings, where brutality and dehumanization are no longer fringe behavior, but policy-adjacent practice.

ICE, the agency tasked with enforcing these horrors, has seen its funding explode. From fiscal year 2020 to 2024, its budget grew from $8.5 billion to $9.6 billion. Then, in 2025, Trump approved a staggering $75 billion boost spread over four years, projecting ICE’s annual budget to reach $27.7 billion—a $17.7 billion yearly increase. These funds don’t go to protect Americans. They go to terrorize families, detain workers, deport parents, and turn the United States into one of the largest domestic surveillance and enforcement states in the world. Instead of upholding public safety, this money fuels militarized raids, blanket surveillance of immigrant communities, and the systemic harassment of peaceful, law-abiding people. Each deportation costs the American people between $3,500 and $12,500—money that comes straight out of our pockets. Detaining a single immigrant costs up to $300 per day, per person, with thousands held for months or years due to a court backlog that has now surpassed three million cases. And even after deportation, many are re-detained and returned, creating a revolving door that costs taxpayers tens of thousands per person in duplicative operations. Under Trump’s directive, ICE has morphed into a weaponized tool of control, using taxpayer dollars to terrorize rather than protect.

ICE’s arrest surge speaks volumes. In just ten days between January 21st and 31st of 2025, the agency made more than 8,200 arrests, averaging about 826 per day—even though daily deportations during that time lagged behind at just 661 by February 25th. The detained population had jumped from 39,238 to 41,169 in just two weeks, with nearly half having no criminal charges at all. Mandated data showed that 55% of those 41,169 detainees had no criminal record. Of the more than 204,000 people booked into ICE custody that fiscal year, 65% had no convictions at all, and 93% had not been convicted of a violent crime.

Taxpayers are footing the bill for this brutality. ICE detention costs the American people $157.20 per person per day, with nearly 58,000 individuals in custody as of late June 2025. That’s over $9 million every single day—more than $3.3 billion a year— to detain mostly non-violent immigrants, many of whom were never charged with a crime in the first place.

ICE also burns through hundreds of millions of dollars in flights. In fiscal year twenty twenty-two alone, ICE Air Operations cost taxpayers five hundred thirty-one million dollars. Deportation flights often cost between seven thousand and twenty-five thousand dollars per person, depending on the destination, and those numbers skyrocket when charter planes are half-empty, as they often are. Some flights cost up to seventeen thousand dollars per flight hour, meaning per-person costs can soar to over five thousand dollars depending on the route and aircraft used.

Immigrants who are wrongfully deported—or whose cases are overturned—are sometimes flown back into the country, only to be processed again. That means taxpayers are paying for both the outbound and return flights, plus renewed detention center costs and court proceedings. This isn’t security—it’s a taxpayer-funded revolving door of waste and cruelty. That seventy-five billion dollars could have gone to healthcare, infrastructure, education, clean water, or mental health services—instead, it’s being used to fund cruelty.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court, sworn to protect the Constitution and serve as a check against executive overreach, has remained silent. The Court has failed in its duty. It has allowed torture. It has allowed family separation. It has allowed the denial of healthcare, the rollback of civil rights, the unchecked profiteering from public office, and the erosion of domestic institutions in its complicity.

The justices of the Supreme Court—like our senators and congressmen, our military, and our police officers—all took oaths of office: an oath to uphold the Constitution and protect the rights it guarantees to the people. The oath is not symbolic; it is a binding moral and legal commitment. Yet instead of honoring that commitment, the Court is actively participating in the destruction of the very document our soldiers have fought and died to defend.

The Constitution is not a relic. It is the foundation of our freedom, and when those charged with guarding it stand idle—or worse, collude in its destruction—they violate the sacred trust of the people. The Court stood idle while children were ripped from their parents at the border, refusing emergency intervention and declining to hear appeals related to the Remain in Mexico policy and Trump’s travel bans. Despite public outcry, the Court chose not to intervene during peak periods of child separation and detention. It refused to hear emergency petitions when thousands of children were being held in cages or shipped to foster systems across the country.

It refused to act on the legality of prolonged solitary confinement even after more than 14,000 instances of ICE solitary confinement were recorded between 2018 and 2023, some lasting over a year. United Nations–defined solitary exceeding 15 days is torture. It has consistently refused to take up challenges to qualified immunity—shielding government agencies, including ICE, police, and military personnel, from accountability for abuse and executive excessive force. In case after case, victims of unconstitutional brutality have been turned away without justice.

The Court has allowed the denial of health care to take root. It upheld restrictions allowing states to defund Planned Parenthood and limit Medicaid coverage. In June 2020, it allowed a Trump-era rule to stand that let employers opt out of contraceptive coverage. In 2022, the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping reproductive rights away from millions of Americans and triggering near-total abortion bans in fourteen states, with an additional six imposing six-to-twelve-week limits. Within weeks, at least thirteen states enacted near-total bans without exceptions for rape or incest.

Since those bans took effect, maternal mortality rates have surged—nearly doubling in states enforcing strict restrictions. Texas alone saw its maternal death rate rise by 56 percent, compared with an 11 percent increase nationwide. Pregnant people in states with abortion bans are now almost twice as likely to die during pregnancy or shortly after birth compared to those in states with legal access. In Texas, infant mortality jumped by 13 percent, and severe maternal complications in the second trimester—such as sepsis—spiked over 50 percent. These are not abstract figures—they are preventable deaths.

It has allowed the unchecked profiteering from public office by weakening congressional subpoena power in Trump v. Mazars, and most recently by granting presidents sweeping immunity from criminal prosecution for so-called “official acts.” That decision, handed down in twenty twenty-four, opens the door for a president to abuse power with impunity—so long as they claim their actions were official. It is a ruling that puts one man above the law and leaves future abuses unchecked.

The Court has seen these violations unfold and done nothing. That silence is complicity. That inaction is betrayal. We are not funding protection. We are funding fear.

Trump now stands convicted of thirty-four felony counts—making him the first U.S. president to be criminally convicted—yet he received no jail time, no fine, no probation, only an unconditional discharge. He has faced eighty-eight felony charges across multiple state and federal cases, including election interference, classified documents, financial fraud, and obstruction. In civil cases, a jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation, effectively branding him a rapist. He has been accused by at least sixty-nine women of sexual assault, harassment, and rape, with some allegations involving minors and connections to Jeffrey Epstein. These incidents reflect a lifelong pattern of behavior. He is a career criminal, an adjudicated rapist, and a known insurrectionist who incited the violent attack on the Capitol on January sixth. According to Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment, no person who has engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States shall hold public office—yet he has once again taken the presidency. This poses a direct threat to our democracy, enabled and protected by the very institutions sworn to uphold justice.

While Americans are told we can’t afford universal healthcare, clean air, clean water, affordable housing, or fair wages, Trump continues to profit off the presidency and live in luxury on our dime.

Every Mar‑a‑Lago trip has cost taxpayers between one million and three point four million dollars. Secret Service costs at his properties have reached nearly two million. A watchdog group reported twenty-three million spent on golf trips. That number jumped to twenty-six million, and now estimates place it at around thirty million — all public money. In total, his golf‑related travel while in office cost taxpayers over one hundred forty million dollars. Each golf trip alone averages more than three million, factoring in security, transportation, and staffing.

He throws lavish parties while Americans ration insulin. That’s not governance — that’s theft. Mar‑a‑Lago receptions regularly exceed three million each, with inflated lodging, catering, décor, private entertainment, and elite security — all on the public tab.

He’s not just profiting from the presidency — he’s draining the public for personal gain. Trump’s two thousand twenty Daytona five hundred appearance cost American taxpayers over five hundred thousand dollars in aircraft security, ground personnel, and coordination. His two thousand twenty-five Super Bowl trip with the Republican National Committee required a full Air Force transport detail, Secret Service deployment, lodging, traffic barricading, and local security — costing millions more. Attendance at the College Football Playoff National Championship, international soccer matches, and Formula One events racked up further expenses — combined estimates sit around twenty million across his term. Each event triggers road closures, no‑fly zones, Secret Service sweeps, surveillance operations, and overtime pay for local authorities — and none of it is reimbursed. With Trump’s recent trip to Scotland costing around $10 million in taxpayer money. A lot of that went to covering Air Force One flights, Secret Service, and other travel expenses.

The federal government has paid more than one point six million dollars directly to Trump-owned properties for lodging, events, meals, and golf carts — allowing him to funnel public money into his private businesses. Government agents have been charged inflated nightly rates — up to one thousand one hundred eighty-five dollars per night — for rooms at his properties, even after his presidency ended. Meanwhile, that money could have gone toward chemotherapy for a child, a housing voucher for a veteran, or insulin refills for struggling seniors.

He also continues to receive a taxpayer-funded pension of approximately two hundred thirty thousand dollars a year, official travel stipends, and taxpayer-paid office staff — all while using those resources to promote his private businesses and political ambitions.

Trump’s rallies, often framed as official events, cost over five hundred thousand dollars each in combined federal, state, and local spending. Security details are flown in. Streets are shut down. Emergency services are diverted. Many municipalities report never being reimbursed for the burden. “Furthermore, recent reports have revealed that former President Trump’s trip to Scotland in July 2025 cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $9.7 million. This trip, centered around promoting his personal golf resorts, exemplifies the misuse of taxpayer dollars for personal business gain. Such actions not only undermine public trust but also highlight the need for stricter oversight and accountability in the use of federal funds.”

And now, in the middle of Americans losing healthcare, housing, and basic services, Trump has announced plans for a grotesque new $200 million White House ballroom, a 90,000-square-foot replica of Mar-a-Lago designed to host the wealthy and powerful while the rest of the country is told to tighten our belts. This isn’t an act of stewardship; it’s an act of ownership. You don’t commission a ballroom of this magnitude—displacing public tours, shutting down access to the People’s House, and reshaping it into your own private club—if you ever intend to leave. This construction screams permanence, a gilded monument to a man who has no intention of relinquishing the office. And while Trump funnels hundreds of millions into this monument to himself, those same dollars could cover a year of insulin for nearly 200,000 diabetics, keep dozens of rural hospitals from closing, or fund cancer treatments for children who right now are being told that lifesaving care is too expensive. Instead of healing, he builds ballrooms; instead of saving lives, he cements his own throne.

Since taking office on January 20, 2025, President Trump and his family-run enterprises have reaped hundreds of millions to possibly billions of dollars through an array of business channels. His $Trump meme coin alone generated approximately $320 million in trading fees by April 2025  , with total profits from the project reported at up to $385 million  . Trump’s 2024 financial disclosure reveals over $600 million in income, including $57.3 million from token sales, over $110 million from Trump National Doral, and $50 million from Mar‑a‑Lago  . Across broader ventures—cryptocurrency, branded merchandise, real estate, media, and licensing—the Trump family has procured hundreds of millions of dollars, notably including a $2 billion investment by a UAE wealth fund into their stablecoin venture  .

He drains taxpayer money into his own pockets, hides behind government classifications, and dodges accountability at every turn — all while claiming there’s no money left for the rest of us.

While cuts are made to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the Affordable Care Act, and public housing—while SNAP is slashed and veterans care gutted—Trump drains taxpayer money into his own pockets, hides behind government classification, and dodges accountability at every turn, all while claiming there’s no money left for the rest of us.

Meanwhile, Trump tells Americans we can’t afford healthcare, social services, or education. He demands states fend for themselves during natural disasters, even while he siphons state-collected federal tax dollars into a system that serves him—and him alone.

Now, brace for the cruelest cuts. More than $863 billion is being stripped from Medicaid and ACA subsidies through 2034, threatening the coverage of at least 17 million Americans. Health insurance premiums have skyrocketed—up 15 to 20 percent in 2025—pushing nearly 12 million more people into the ranks of the uninsured by the end of the decade. While Trump strips care from the sick and the poor, his billionaire donors see their wealth balloon. The top 1% received nearly $2 trillion in tax breaks during his first term—and now in 2025, he’s pushing to extend those giveaways even further. The rest of us are paying the price.

Our rural communities are on the verge of collapse. One hundred forty-six rural hospitals have already closed since 2005, and cuts to Medicaid totaling $800 billion could shutter hundreds more. Taken together, these closures are forcing families to drive hours for reliable maternity and emergency care—if they can access it at all. Over one in five rural hospitals are now at immediate risk of closing, and maternity deserts are spreading across thirty-seven states, where more than 2.2 million women live without access to prenatal or childbirth services.

Our children are paying the heaviest price. Over 17 million kids face losing Medicaid or CHIP due to administrative rollbacks and new red tape barriers buried in Project 2025. Children are also losing access to school lunches—critical meals that many low-income students rely on every day. Childhood hunger rates have already spiked fifteen percent in the last year alone, and food insecurity is rising across the country.

Meanwhile, $287 billion has been pulled from SNAP—America’s primary food safety net—threatening meals for over 42 million people. Working families are losing $20 to $25 a month, and food pantries are stretched to the breaking point trying to make up the difference. And while kids go hungry and families scramble to put food on the table, Trump stages million-dollar birthday parties and jets off to Mar-a-Lago on the taxpayer dollar to play golf.
 

Education—once our promise of a better future—is being dismantled. Nearly $6.8 billion in federal education funding, including after-school programs and teacher training, has been frozen. Hundreds of millions more have been slashed from student aid, adult education, and tribal colleges. STEM and science education grants are being wiped out—precisely when the world is racing ahead in innovation. The Department of Education is facing cuts exceeding 25 percent, with over 5,000 staff positions eliminated, while charter school subsidies for political donors remain untouched.

Our public health system is being gutted. 22,000 jobs have been cut from federal health agencies, including 2,400 CDC employees and 1,200 NIH researchers. The CDC’s budget is being slashed by nearly 44 percent, eliminating critical disease monitoring. The NIH is losing 40 percent of its funding—threatening ongoing cancer, Alzheimer’s, and mental health research. Environmental science programs have been decimated, with the EPA budget cut by more than $5 billion and the NSF slashed by over 55 percent, effectively silencing climate research and pollution response.

Our veterans are losing too. 83,000 VA jobs are being eliminated, nearly 200 clinics are on the chopping block, and essential mental health, burn pit, and suicide-prevention programs are being defunded—even as over 2 million disability claims wait in backlog. Wait times for care have ballooned, and appeals can take more than 500 days to resolve. Meanwhile, $2.1 million was spent securing Trump’s golf weekends, and millions more on first-class flights and event security for his private business interests.

Housing assistance is evaporating. HUD funding is down nearly $27 billion. Public housing contracts are slashed by $6.8 billion. Rental assistance dry slots threaten 1.4 million families with eviction. The energy assistance program (LIHEAP) is being cut just as winter approaches, pushing seniors and low-income families into unsafe conditions. At the same time, the cost of rent has risen more than 30 percent nationwide since 2020, with no relief in sight.

And in the midst of this, ICE’s budget is being fattened at record pace—from $8.5 billion in 2020 to $9.6 billion in 2024, with a stunning $75 billion four-year package approved in 2025. That’s a $17.7 billion per year increase, funding more detentions, deportations, and trauma—all while our communities lose critical services. This money is being poured into surveillance tech, expanded detention facilities, and private prison contractors, while schools and hospitals shut down.

This is the cost of Trump’s America: the sick go without medicine, children go hungry, students lose their future, veterans are abandoned, and the vulnerable are forgotten. All so he can line his pockets with lavish trips, golf getaways, and campaign spectacles. This isn’t a budget—it’s a heist. Our future for his fortune. And this absolutely must end now.

The American dream — the one promised by the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Statue of Liberty — is being suffocated. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” has been replaced by cages, lost children, forced surgeries, and state-sponsored fear.

We are all children of immigrants living on stolen land, yet somehow, this country has been taught to criminalize the very journey most of our ancestors once made. The Statue of Liberty, once a symbol of welcome and compassion, now flickers behind barbed wire and surveillance towers.

The Pledge of Allegiance no longer stands for “justice for al.  It stands for justice for the wealthy, the powerful, and those who pledge loyalty to one man rather than to the republic.

This is not the America we were taught to believe in.

In the 1960s and 70s, we were raised to believe that America was a melting pot — a place where diversity was a strength. We were taught that immigrants built this nation — with their hands, their stories, their labor, and their hope. That our greatness came from our ability to welcome those in need. That promise has been broken.

Our military members, our police, our elected leaders — including the president — all take an oath to uphold the Constitution and defend the people. That oath has been broken — repeatedly, publicly, and without consequence.

And the very words of the Constitution have been discarded. “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility… promote the general Welfare…” Today, those words ring hollow in the ears of the sick, the poor, and the forgotten.

Trump’s $1.5 trillion tax cut for the top one percent was paid for by gutting the very programs that keep people alive. Over 20 million Americans stand to lose health coverage if the ACA is dismantled. Cuts to Medicare and Medicaid will result in elderly people dying alone. Children will go without treatment. Veterans will be left to suffer. The working class — the backbone of this country — will be left to fend for themselves, while the elite profit.

And while they profit, the founding promise of equality is abandoned. The Declaration of Independence declared that “all men are created equal” and are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights… among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” But under this administration, those rights are sold to the highest bidder.

This isn’t economic policy — this is class warfare. And the people are losing.

Trump told the states, “You’re on your own.”

He said it during COVID.

He said it during wildfires.

He said it during hurricanes.

He said it while hospitals collapsed, while supply chains faltered, while citizens begged for ventilators and aid.

So let’s take him at his word.

If we’re on our own, then we will hold our money to care for our people.

Governors — you swore to protect your people. Not to bankroll tyranny. Not to support dictators. Not to watch our nation crumble while our tax dollars fund cruelty.

We demand that state leaders withhold all federal tax transfers. We demand that funds be redirected to healthcare, education, emergency response, infrastructure, clean water, environmental protection, and social support — not walls, cages, surveillance, and golf trips.

We, the people, are not powerless. We are not complicit. We are not silent.

We are drawing a line.

And we do not consent to funding tyranny.

You must stop this now before it’s too late because he’s heading us into another recession worse than we’ve ever seen before!
