Egg prices

Lots of dumb folks wanted to blame our president for the high prices.  If it was his fault, then I'm sure that the Kevin's of the world will credit Trump for the plunge in prices.  

March $6.23

April    $5.12

today  $4.00

Kevin has been telling us massive inflation is coming now for four months

Just another.Boilerboob "he said" lie. What I actually said was that Trump blamed Biden for high egg prices, when the truth is that it wasn't anyone's "fault."

If you had any honor, you wouldn't lie so much.

  You never said that.

Yes, sweetie. It is coming--when the effects of the Trumpiffs are felt. That will be by summer, when merchants' stocks of imported goods are depleted and they have to pay Trumpiffs to.replace them--a cost that will be passed on to consumers.

Trump's herky-jerky tariff "policies"--where every morning at 3 am he pulls a new "idea" out of his ass--mesn that importers of consumer goods are wary; they don't know what the final level of Trumpiffs will be.

If somehow, by the end of the year, inflation stays below 4%, I'll be thrilled to admit my prediction was wrong. After all, thousands of economists will be wrong, too.

 .Everything Lewis says here was "pulled out of his ass" - nothing to back up what he says - a typical lying liberal scare tactic. What does this mean? - "mesn that importers" - ?

     Now, for the truth -- Wholesale prices see biggest drop in 5 Years, undercutting predictions of inflation spike -- The latest report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics delivers another blow to legacy media economists and Biden-era holdovers who continue to forecast inflationary doom under President Donald Trump’s trade and economic policies. In April, the Producer Price Index (PPI) dropped a stunning 0.5% — a direct contradiction of mainstream predictions which had anticipated an increase. This marks the first monthly decline since October 2023 and the sharpest since 2020, a timeframe that includes the volatile post-COVID recovery period. --Food prices at the wholesale level saw a 1% drop, with egg prices crashing by a staggering 39.4%. Meanwhile, overall goods prices were flat in April, with no increase from the previous month — another signal that upstream inflationary pressures are retreating across broad sectors of the economy. -- While establishment economists and corporate media outlets had long warned that Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports, steel, and aluminum would lead to a spike in consumer prices, reality is telling a different story According to POLITICO, economists had anticipated rising prices for apparel and automobiles — two sectors directly impacted by tariffs — but both instead experienced price declines. This trend undercuts the narrative that protectionist trade policy is inherently inflationary and bolsters the administration’s case for continued tough negotiations with global adversaries. -- Nevertheless, some businesses, including Walmart, are still hedging. The retail giant warned it may have to raise prices due to tariffs, with CEO Doug McMillon stating that the company would do its best to protect consumers but couldn’t absorb all cost pressures. However, such warnings now stand in sharp contrast to the actual economic data. -- Adding to the administration’s momentum, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) released earlier this week showed inflation rising just 2.3% over the past year, the lowest annual gain since February 2021. With both CPI and PPI pointing to a cooling inflation landscape, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for critics of Trump’s economic strategy to argue that his America-first approach is hurting consumers. --Taken together, the data suggests that inflationary pressures are not only under control but receding, even in the face of necessary tariff measures and ongoing global market disruptions. This underlines the strength of Trump’s economic stewardship — a combination of supply-side discipline, trade leverage, and policy certainty that is beginning to pay dividends for working Americans. -- https://mxmnews.com/article/dac2d6e1-00be-4e5e-b5e7-73c9c143218f

I did think it was funny how MAGA seemingly had no idea about bird flu until Trump became President. Then prices spiked again and they were all, "It's the bird flu that's causing it! Have heard about the new bird flu problem?"

I guess David missed the announcement from Wal-Mart that they are rasing prices to deal with Trump's tarrifs. 

 Actually Wal mart said they "may" raise prices. As referenced in my above, detailed post, this is what Wal mart CEO McMillon said -Nevertheless, some businesses, including Walmart, are still hedging. The retail giant warned it may have to raise prices due to tariffs, with CEO Doug McMillon stating that the company would do its best to protect consumers.
