With High Prices Persisting, Trump Tempers Tone on Slaying Inflation

[Tom Paris]

Sure. The never-ending cycle of raising of the debt ceiling, in perpetuity, concerns me greatly!

That's also why, I'm generally supportive of Trump & Musk basically bypassing Congress in an attempt to get things under control.

Sooooooo…anti American Democracy. Thanks for admitting you’re a fascist.

Trumpflation is real, and will only get worse once his tariffs kick in. There is good news, however, as Trump will crash the economy and prices will eventually come down with all the job losses and stunted economic activity.

It's not the job losses that make prices come down.
It's the shrinking of the monetary pool when it becomes evident that credit extended will not be repaid, and so that money goes 'poof'.

As the money supply shrinks in that scenario, prices come down because they're a relativistic, not absolute, measure.

So predictable.

Your headline got me thinking of the good ol' days:

User Clip: Sen. Alfonse D'Amato and the Tax-A-Saurus

"Now is the time to kill tha Tax-A-Saurus Monster...Kill the dinosaur!"

I'll always have a soft spot for old Al, who was the first person i've every heard use the word '****" and its derivatives as a noun, verb, and adjective in the same sentence.

More excuses and whataboutism for Bonespurs lying directly to you. He thanks you for the covering and excuses for his lies to you though. Lemmings... marching, marching, marching off the cliff 😂

Hard to believe but the level of idiocy you've managed to maintain is quite impressive.

Trump is Israel's puppet. Pfizer's as well.

I don't support politicians who are beholden to those entities. 🤡

The only reason the Fed was cutting interest rates was to help Kamala get elected.

Inflation is here to stay until we get the debt under control.

Donald Trump said he'd bring prices down on "Day one".

 

[lucas80]

So predictable.

So beta. Big board room successes like Donald Trump should make commanding decisions and fix things immediately.
He's the decider. Very beta to blame someone else when you are the boss sitting at the desk where the buck stops.

Donald Trump said he'd bring prices down on "Day one".

Dumb. Hopefully most people can see through how he communicates.

Would be nice if he communicated better than the average message boarder, but alas, here we are.

oh we do

its called "lying"

What was the message he was trying to convey that I didn’t understand?

 

[Thunderlips71]

Trump has a concept of a plan to fix this.

As soon as he announces his replacement of the ACA...we'll see it.

Yesterday they were patching potholes on the 2-lane highway that runs past my house, proof that Trump kicked off his Infrastructure Week.

Yeah, was that a LIE?? 😂😂😂😂

Hey now...everyone is good at something.

Trump is good at lying!

Ah yes, keep making excuses for the moron that purposely lied directly to you. Everyone knows how he communicates... by LYING to you. The lemmings... marching, marching, marching off the cliff. 😆

And he'll still claim victory.

Where's the excuse(s)? There were probably many that thought he could snap his fingers & fix inflation. I'm not one of them. I'm realistic as to what he can do about inflation. But I'd vote for him again in a heartbeat.

Of course you would because you are a good little braindead nazi.

 

[Odinorske]

Obviously he had no idea how large the stack of shit he inherited is. Thanks, jo.........

The seeds of inflation were sown in the COVID response and by Biden’s policies through his 4 year term. It will not be fixed quickly , especially with Democrats brainlessly opposing everything that Trump does.

Got it... you're a glutton for being lied to and... marching, marching, marching off the cliff.

Marching off the cliff is thinking you can run a $3T budget deficit every year & never skip a beat.

Cut the government down to bare essentials & rebuild it from the ground up. The government takes in plenty of revenue.

In FY's 2015, 2016, & 2017 federal expenditures totaled $3.7T, $3.9T, & $4.0T.

$6.8T in FY 2024.

Let's get back to something resembling those ($4T) numbers.

Is interest expense included in those figures?

Yes.

 

[WadeLookingbill]

Yes.

In that case, I don't see how we get back to the $4T figure anytime soon/ever.

Prices will drop when we drill baby drill.
