Silver lining

There has been steady inflation on consumer goods since APril and its been increasing each month.   THat will only get worse as importers burn through the inventory they loaded up on in the Spring.    ....unless Trump fires the person who reports that data too.

 

The country has paid over 100 billion in tarrifs since Spring.    Some is passed to the consumers...some is eaten up by the importers.   Regardless its a 100 billion dollar tax increase in less than six months.   

 

Goldman Sachs today predicts it will be alot more obvious this quarter.    Trump shit his pants as you would expect.        


2.7% inflation from a year ago.  Biden averaged 5.9% for 48 months.  I told you that the "Inflation Reduction Act" was going to spike inflation, and it did.

Yeah - Biden's legislation made inflation in AMerica...and Canada...and Japan.....and Australia...and Germany.

Thats your schtick.     I cant help you with that.

 

You also told us Biden's job creation and unemployment numbers were horrible while you are now cheering on Trump's much worse ones.....although in your defense there are the little green men in the BLS.

The Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law in August 2022. Here's a graph of US inflation rates by month after it was enacted:

 

 

 

If I were MAGA, I would claim the IRA did in fact reduce inflation, but I'm not, so I won't. I will say that you are stupidly, moronicly, and incredibly wrong about the IRA spiking inflation. I mean, for cryin' out loud, it's a fucking simple graph, a simple timeline, and easy research. You failed at all of that, just like Charles did, I have no respect for MAGA and their sheeple behavior.

I've said this many times.  Trump doesn't want tariffs, but instead fair trade.  His negotiation tool is tariffs.  It will cause bumps along the way, but America will be in much better shape in a decade because of Trump policies....and then Democrats will claim that the great economy is their doing.

 

 


Bullshit. What was "unfair"?
