  • Echoes of Silence: Unveiling Senate Hearing Omissions
    May 1 2025

    Welcome to the Vlogging Pod, where we dive into the intricacies of recent Senate hearings that have left many questions unanswered. While advisors proposed strategies for economic growth, they conspicuously avoided discussing tariffs, a significant policy affecting the U.S economy. These tariffs have shrunk GDP by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025, yet remain unaddressed by those in power.

    Moreover, media aligned with political narratives have downplayed the harsh realities of these economic decisions, ignoring the struggles of small businesses. The close Senate vote against lifting global tariffs illustrates a reluctance to challenge detrimental policies.

    This episode underscores the urgency for citizens to demand transparency and critically assess policies for their real-world repercussions. Tune in as we explore the essential role of informed discourse in navigating economic complexities.
