Thinking about a more efficient tankless before Trump kills the 30% tax credit.
Do you plan to make any last minute large purchases due to likely Trumpflation?

We were looking at getting a new car next year. That timeline has been moved up now.
I was considering a new auto this Spring but I think I will watch to see what happens with auto prices after Trump’s coronation. The plan was for a trade-in/cash exchange but let’s see what Trump’s tariff threats do to car prices over the next couple of months and then see how boosting car prices 20% overnight will make America Great Again (if that happens)…This tariff bluster really makes things difficult for a lot of American companies as far as planning for the future….short term or long term. Especially the domestic US car industry…a lot of their product is made in Canada, Mexico and Asia. But whatever Trump needs to lower taxes for his rich and famous friends.
Well, don't complain then about the price of eggs in the next 4 years.
No one will give a $hit.
I bought a new Honda
MAGA! CRV today, a hybrid to boot.
It will be interesting to see how soon these tariffs will cost those who don't immediately buy something new.
TRUMP with the "Master Plan".
MAGA!
We hadn't considered a new car until the 80k service and maintenance bill came due on the Audi. Screw that cost. Decided to get a new vehicle 2 months ago instead of waiting. Im not expecting his policies to make things better by spring except possibly, forcing the Fed to cut the reserve (somehow). If that happens a refi will be in order. For us, the "must dos" just need to get done, the uncertainty he brings didn't feel like it was worth waiting.
There was always going to be inflation following the COVID stimulus packages that kept the economy afloat. It was a necessary evil to avoid a major economic recession. Mind you, these stimulus packages started under Trump. Then consider that inflation in the United States was the lowest (or one of the lowest) of all world leading economies, and that real wages (i.e., adjusted for inflation) are higher now than they were pre-COVID.
Again, nobody is denying that inflation was bad. But it was manageable to the point that real wages have actually increased and we avoided a prolonged recession.
The difference between COVID inflation and predicted tariff inflation is that tariff inflation would be unnecessarily self-inflicted.
And I am not a leftist - e.g., I don’t support student loan forgiveness. I believe in free markets and support free trade. Those were Republican principles in the pre-Trump era.
Do you support imposing tariffs? If so, why?
The main inflation driver, maybe even bigger than the COVID stimulus was Biden's Green initiatives and his crackdown on fossil fuels which drove up prices on all goods.
True or false: US like production is at an all time high.
Why U.S. Oil Production Is 6.5% Ahead Of Last Year’s Record Pace
According to the latest report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, year-to-date oil production is 6.5% higher than last year’s record pace.

And to repeat my prior question, do you support Trump’s proposed tariffs? If so, why?
Other than you and yours saying this Hawk, there is NO evidence that this is indeed the truth… no more than Trump’s tax cuts added to inflationary pressures here in the US. Covid made these pressures an international factor.
Because you say this is so, does not make it so. I’m
Let’s agree that all that is true.
Would Trump’s use of tariffs a) lower prices to the consumer or b) increase prices to the consumer?
Your boy won the election. Inflation is now in his hands.
1. Was never questioned, and who cares.True or false: US like production is at an all time high.

2. Yes, I support tariffs, even the Biden administration kept in place many of Trump's tariffs. Do you enjoy every nation in the world taking advantage of the US? Protecting their own steel industry for example, driving down the price of steel, so that US steel goes under. Pretty sure we need a vibrant steel industry for our national security interests. How about pharma? Should our drugs be made in China? Should our tractors be made in Mexico, sure it is cheaper labor, but who needs those stinking good jobs at Deere in Ottumwa, or Ankeny, or Dubuque, or Waterloo, if Deere could only make a larger profit. America First baby!
"The sky is blue". "No it is not, prove it," says joelbc. Fuel prices rose, the cost of transportation rose, consumer goods prices rose.
Nope, confident that a businessman who understands finance will prevent inflation, unlike a corrupt grifter who never had a job in the private sector in his life and had no idea how his leftist policies impacted the economy.
This is a parody account right?
Otherwise the irony is pretty delicious.
Keep buying the red hats, the shoes, the watches, the guitars, the NFTs, the bankruptcies, and the policies tho.
Are you talking about the businessman whose businesses declared bankruptcy 6 times?
And yet his businesses survive and he is a billionaire, sounds like a very smart guy.
All survived?
- Trump Taj Mahal
- Trump Airlines
- Trump Beverages
- Trump Game
- Trump Magazine
- Trump Mortgage
- Trump Steaks
- Trump Travel Site
- Trumpnet
- Trump Tower Tampa
- Trump University
- Trump Fragrances
- Trump Mattresses
- New Jersey Generals
- Donald Trump Foundation
So much winning from the astute businessman
How many bankruptcies have you declared? I mean I assume you are a very smart person.
Survived because he kept finding a new grift. Lost his dad’s 300 million. Then stole from his nieces and nephews trust funds to survive. Lived off credit until The Apprentice and blew through that 500 million. Next lived off running for President and being President.
Smart is in the eye of the beholder. One person’s smart is another person’s crook
I kind of like you, but this is why people think you are a MAGAt. Inflation and tariffs aren't the same thing.
Parodies are funny. Check the post count for your clue as to this being a retread account.
If I ever start over 400 businesses and 6-10 of them go bankrupt I'll consider that a massive success...
That's just me though
Yes. Also thinking about taking our full tax credit in 2024 for the solar panels we put on this year. We have until 2026 currently, but, I am leery that he won't f**k up. a lot of things out of spite.
LOL "businesses". Putting your name on a cheap knockoff isn't starting a business.
The deputy assistant to the Treasury (93-95) and a professor of economics at UC Berkely suggests that if Trump would have taken Fred’s gifts/loans/inheritance and passively invested in Manhattan real estate, he would be worth $80b+.
So…just how successful of a businessman do you need to be to take $400-$500M in Fred’s money and turn it into what Trump has?
The idolization of the “astute” businessman is remarkable. The poors love the idea of a self-made man.

Which fuel is more expensive now than one year ago?
Old Joe didn't start LAST year. Move the date back. Oh don't bother you have deflection's for that too.
Wow, check your sources.The deputy assistant to the Treasury (93-95) and a professor of economics at UC Berkely suggests that if Trump would have taken Fred’s gifts/loans/inheritance and passively invested in Manhattan real estate, he would be worth $80b+.

You should be furious with the the media actually.
Even if that were true, which it isn't because he didn't get near that much of Fred's money. Every person in the history of mankind has made financial decisions that could have been better in hindsight, and could have produced more revenue.
Looking in hindsight and arguing that a guy worth $7B could be worth $80B if only...then asserting he's stupid for only turning his $2 million gift into $7B is...well... you'll be poor forever. Mentally and emotionally for sure, and probably financially.
Trump didn’t get just $2M from Fred.
Again: keep buying into the myth. Not sure why you need Trump to be the brilliant, self-made billionaire. Sounds like you might be the one who is emotionally poor.
Which fuel is more expensive than last year?
Poster implied that Joe policies are continuing to cause higher fuel costs. Which ones?
Do you know what Marxism is? Can you defend it without resorting to google?
Didn’t think so.
