Inflation sucks

They can't just lower prices. What they can do is stop printing so much money

I guess…

Arrest Inflation, okay. Prices down, no good.

1929 & 2008 WERE NOT GOOD

It's not quite that simple. It'd be nice if the government didn't go actively making prices higher with tariffs, though.

The tariffs are to break our reliance on china, notice how non imported products aren’t affected by them.

Most things that you wear, use or eat have some imported parts or processes.

And I think that’s a bad thing, if all our products are American made then we won’t be entirely dependent on our political enemies for our things. Now don’t get me wrong I like a good imported item here and there but so much of it is china’s bullshit I just wanna have things made in America again

As long as you're willing to do without chocolate, coffee, and a host of other goods, and (Oh, shades of the Soviet Union!) pay more for inferior domestic products, that's a plan.

Those come from the south

Did you think Trump was only messing up our trade relations with China?

Also, even the prices and/or availability of non-imported products are affected. American soybean production is being crushed because the export market has collapsed thanks to Trump's tariffs; ditto many other of our industries that rely on exports to succeed.

Remember that tariffs don't just affect what we import, they affect what we export as well when they create hostile trade relationships.

Now that I didn’t know, however I do hope china gets choked out

American rice is in big trouble too now,,,

If they just “lower prices” nobody will be making enough money

CNN Reporter Says ‘Inflation Took A Big Step In The Right Direction’ To Start Second Year Of Trump 2.0

CNN business reporter Matt Egan on Friday highlighted an “encouraging” new inflation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Inflation unexpectedly eased to 2.4% for the 12 months ending in January following a 2.7% rise for the 12 months ending in December, according to the BLS. Egan noted on “CNN News Central” that core inflation’s decline to 2.5% was the lowest annual rate since March 2021.

“[T]his is some encouraging news on the cost of living. Inflation took a big step in the right direction to start the year off. So, consumer prices, up by 2.4% year over year,” Egan said. “That is an improvement from 2.7% in December. That beat expectations, which were for 2.5%. In fact, this is a new eight-month low for annual inflation. Month over month, prices up by 0.2%, also a step in the right direction, also beating expectations.”

“Now, economists look really closely at core inflation, which excludes food and energy. Core inflation came in at 2.5%. That’s notable because that’s the lowest annual inflation rate for core since March of 2021, before the inflation crisis,” he continued. “Now, while we can’t exclude food and energy from our family budgets, that’s important because economists say that’s a better indicator for where inflation is going. And when you look at the trend for inflation over the last few years, you can see there’s been some improvement.”
