We can blame Trump and the US for a lot of things, but the lack of action from our elected officials is shocking from things that are well within our ability to do right away.

No we're not. We're not seeing serious economic pains. We
might be close to a recession. Inflation is not that high, interest rates are low and unemployment is not exceptionally high either. If you (or others) think that this is serious economic pain, if we see some real pain from the 25% tariff you're going to have a very rude awakening.
