Merz Says US 'Humiliated' By Iran Amid War Criticism.

American households face a dual economic shock in 2026, with tariff policies costing the average family $1,500 in higher prices on goods — the US effective tariff rate at 11 percent, the highest since 1943 — while the Iran war drives oil to $96 per barrel and pushes inflationary pressure across every sector of the economy. Yale Budget Lab and Goldman Sachs economists warn that the combined impact represents one of the largest middle-class income shocks in modern history, with groceries, fuel and imported goods all simultaneously more expensive. The Federal Reserve faces an impossible monetary policy choice between fighting inflation and protecting economic growth. WooGlobe Ref : WGA909917
