And those increases are only going to get worse as he escalates his boneheaded trade war, imposing his Trump Tax &#8211; aka tariffs &#8211; on America&#8217;s allies that will be paid for by American shoppers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65596\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Press Secretary Visits Fox News to Contradict Her Boss\u2019s Lies About the Cost of Tariffs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Trump economic agenda is, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/03\/31\/business\/recession-tariffs-goldman-sachs\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">according to most economists<\/a><\/strong>, barreling headlong into recession or worse. So naturally, Fox News is rushing to the rescue with sycophantic propaganda that would make North Korea&#8217;s happy talk media puppets blush. Case in point, Harris Faulkner, co-host of Fox&#8217;s <em>Outnumbered<\/em>, addressed the sacrifices that we all must endure if we hope to MAGA (Make America Grovel Again)&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The &#8216;401K people &#8211; those retirees, all of that &#8211; Just talk in &#8216;plain speak&#8217; with them.

Those greedy, selfish <em>&#8220;401K people&#8221;<\/em> should STFU and accept their burden in order to force America&#8217;s enemies &#8211; Canada, Mexico, Europe, etc., &#8211; into submission. After all, we&#8217;re at war, aren&#8217;t we? Maybe they should start raising their own chickens for eggs, and crocheting car seat upholstery. Because how else will America be able to afford all of those tax cuts for Trump and Elon Musk and the rest of the billionaire oligarchy?<\/p>\n<p>Faulkner is advising the Trump regime to communicate in <em>&#8220;plain talk.&#8221;<\/em> Which in Trumpese translates to <em>&#8220;lies&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;hollow platitudes&#8221;<\/em> and other rhetorical means of deceit and deflection. That would explain Trump&#8217;s plain talking Commerce Secretary, billionaire Howard Lutnick, who gleefully disclosed that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65732\" target=\"_blank\">his mother-in-law wouldn\u2019t mind if her Social Security check didn\u2019t arrive<\/a><\/strong> for a few months. Surely your family can say the same, right?<\/p>\n<p>Faulkner may not be aware that most of the <em>&#8220;401K people&#8221;<\/em> are not retirees. They are working people who are saving for retirement that may be decades away. However, the ones who are already retired are the the most at risk, because they don&#8217;t have the timeline to earn back any losses incurred by Trump&#8217;s financial foolishness. They are just what professional economists say are <em>&#8220;sh*t outta luck.&#8221;<\/em> Too bad for them.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, everyone else just bears with the downturn, that for the month of March, has already seen the stock market suffer its worst decline since December 2022. Well, almost everyone else. You will be relieved to know that the wealthy class that Trump serves will be just fine. They will retain their riches, pay less taxes on them, and make their own purchases through international channels that avoid Trump&#8217;s tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>But they ought not to get too comfortable. There is an expiration date on their free ride on the backs of the peasants that they abhor. Because the monarchs and their aristocracy do not generally fair well when the people rise up to claim what is rightfully theirs. And that day is coming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65702\" target=\"_blank\">PHEW!
