Your analysis is missing the fact that we printed trillions of dollars in new currency. You can’t just unprint that.

The government severely devalued our currency. The only way for that currency to regain its lost value is large economic growth paired with very limited printing of new currency. That process, if even possible with our government, will take a long, long time.

You have not been affected by tariffs in any way so far.


Not affected in any way? Really? Do you have a 401K?
Trump is quickly burning through the goodwill I had for him by continuing this on and off trade war. It is a very large gamble that has a major and direct effect on the US stock market.

Your 401K will be fine. Stop being an over emotional woman

Prices never come down. They may stagnate, but they never come down unless people quit buying, and Americans are too selfish and spoiled.
this exactly. Why would all these companies lower their prices back down. Americans have already accepted the higher price steadily buying that $7.00 bag of chips, $10.00 bag of coffee, $9.00 12pk of sodas etc.. These prices will never come down.

A lot of prices were always going to be "sticky" because that's just how American economics works. And once the Biden administration passed those two massive spending bills, one of them laughably entitled the "Inflation Reduction Act", we were cooked. We might be able to put a few of those genies back in the bottle but not most of them. We're just going to have to learn to recalibrate our budgets and lifestyles.

All you have to do is cut entitlement spending and most everyday goods would fall in price.

I don’t care if everything you think about trump is reality or comes to fruition. He’s president because people looked at you and what you stood for, looked at trump, and said we will take this guy all day every day over you. I don’t care if he dicks around with tariffs for another 3 years, because again, it’s infinitely preferable to your gay arse.

One man does not control prices. Prices of anything rarely go down.

You're not wrong but missing a key detail: prices never come down without one of two things: major depression or devastating war.

Covid was neither.

You’re too blinded by hate.

No president has ever tried to legitimately tried to fix the national debt.

We’re all learning together. It’s better than making trans bathrooms I can tell you that.

And lying to the people. You wanna discuss that?
