Jeff Cohen for Congress
@CohenForIL09
Economist, author of Intangible Assets: Valuation and Economics.
If you want to fix the economy, send an economist to Congress. Running for #IL09.
- I’m Jeff Cohen, the economist running for Congress in Illinois’ 9th. I used to coach my kids’ soccer games at James Park in Evanston. Yesterday, the fields were empty because masked ICE agents prowled across the street. No American should fear their own government.
00:00 - My name is Jeff Cohen, and I’m an economist. Trump’s policies are chaotic economic nonsense. Americans agree. 61% disapprove of his handling of inflation. Families are paying about $2,400 more a year, growth is slowing, and jobs are vanishing. There is a better answer.
00:00 - The Epstein emails that were released today only confirm what we all know: Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States. And if being morally despicable wasn’t enough for you, he’s also ruining our economy.
- Trump did it in front of our eyes. Within one week: ● Fires an experienced prosecutor for not indicting Comey. ● Publicly urges Bondi to go after Comey. ● Installs his personal insurance lawyer with zero prosecutorial experience. ● Comey indicted. ●Trump celebrates.
- Jimmy Kimmel is back tomorrow. In an era when Trump wants to silence pretty much any criticism - Kimmel’s return is more than late-night TV: It’s proof (I hope) that free speech is still alive in America.
- Donald Trump is not sending us the military to safeguard ICE or anybody else. This was never about immigration or fighting crime; it's about intimidating and putting fear into lawful residents of our beautiful city, Chicago, and all around America.
- Donald Trump raging about Democrats doing commercials about affordability and saving our economy would make a great commercial for our campaign. What say you?
00:00 - I’m Jeff Cohen, economist running for Congress in Illinois’ 9th District. If ACA subsidies expire, a 60-year-old in Chicago making $65K will see premiums jump from $5,500 to $10,200 a year. Ending these subsidies isn’t fiscal responsibility: it’s cruelty disguised as policy.
00:00 - Hi. I’m Jeff Cohen, the economist running for Congress. The new BLS revision shows 911,000 fewer jobs than earlier reported. The job market is weaker than we thought. Trump’s excuse for firing the BLS chief is wrong. Revisions are normal. The problem is the economy’s decline.
00:0001:57I’m Jeff Cohen. I’ve spent my life working on big economic problems. Trump’s chaotic economic nonsense is failing us. Americans can’t get ahead. I’m running for Congress because we need leadership to fix it. - Donald Trump’s chaotic economic nonsense chokes off productivity in the economy, and flat-out eliminates prosperity for most of America. Trump is a terrible businessman for the country.
- Trump’s chaotic economic policies cause an affordability crisis, as costs for housing, groceries, and healthcare continue to skyrocket. He's in denial about it, like with the Epstein files. I'm running for Congress because we need an economist to fix it.
- BREAKING: A judge temporarily blocked Donald Trump from removing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. Trump injects risk into the economy merely by introducing legally questionable actions. And that risk costs us all money.
- Replying to @CohenForIL09I’m an economist who is running for Congress. We need experience to stand up to Trump’s chaotic economic nonsense that chokes off productivity and eliminates prosperity. Today is 9/9 and I’m running in IL 09. Can you chip in $9 to send me to Congress?
