What was said around it

watched my video last week before the revision was announced I said exactly that in my video this year we're in an election year so all the numbers that I'm seeing reported by the government I tend to think the real numbers are probably not as good as what I'm seeing and a week later that news came out so yes the US economy is slowing down and every 100 days that passes we add another $1 trillion to the National debt which means we either have to pay down the debt or lower interest rates real soon which I think is what we're going to do now I don't know 100% for sure if interest rates will go down in September but it looks like there's a strong possibility either way looks like it's a really good time to be an investor holding assets and if you're mostly a consumer that's not investing I'm going to repeat what I said in my last video which is to please make sure that you have at least six months of expenses built up in an emergency fund and as for me I'm going to continue holding my assets investing and holding a little bit of cash which is exactly what people like Warren Buffett are doing right now but I'd love to know down in the comments below how you're preparing for these changes as
