These two need to crash. The economy will be better if they do.

Something is going to have to give...interest rates? The economy? Tariffs?
It’s going to be with us for a while and it stems from the ridiculous Covid response. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to shut down the world. Nothing the Fed does will have a meaningful effect. Tariffs are a necessary evil to some extent whether you like it or not. We have to have industry and build things here. Can’t keep relying on cheap, exploitable foreign labor.

You're kind of dumb, aren't you.

Spot the frick on. This is my biggest fear because all Fed guidance being given points to a Hawkish, tightened tone, at least in the next 6 months to a year.

Hey genius, it’s because of fuel shortages associated with Iran and Russia. Fuel prices are already coming down so it’s a lagging indicator. Tariffs have had very impacts on most industries outside of certain produce and manufacturing industries. Home sales and vehicle sales are stagnant because of high labor costs for vehicles which are never coming down and home sales are stagnant because of higher interest rates with combined over valuation of homes. Raising interest rates won’t do anything to fuel driven price spikes but it has further depressed the housing market. Mortgage rates are going to have to drop to a more affordable level to get buyers back in the market. The car industry largely did it to itself over high labor costs and ridiculously unnecessary technology

What about Biden in 3,2,1
It was higher under Biden. So how are the Democrats going to bring down inflation?
Ppi and cpi are not the same either. Just for those seeing 6.5% thinking that's the inflation number.

They probably are since wages are outpacing inflation.

Thanks for asking, though.

It’s probably true.
People are still spending like crazy, which is partly why inflation is so high.

I know they are and this thread is extremely dishonest.
Inflation is 3.2-3 4%.
These idiots also forgot the government shut down last October, lots of short memories here. Which is how Democrats get elected.

We do have industry and we do build things here. We're second in manufacturing in the world. Unless we're talking about national security items that we currently depend on foreign manufacturing for (and there are other ways of solving that problem), there's absolutely no reason we can't manufacture whatever the numbers dictate makes sense here and outsource whatever the numbers dictate that it would be less expensive to outsource.

Of course we can. In fact, "globalization" is one of the huge factors that allowed inflation to stay as low as it did from the late 90s up to COVID.
Interest rates too.

This, however, is the correct answer.

So it is not as high as it was 4 years ago. The auto pen set inflation records, did it not?
acting like 6.5% inflation is a win because it’s lower than 2022 is pathetic.

A manufacturing boom doesn't happen in a time period of rising interest rates, which is why Trump ran on a platform of a lowered interest rate environment. I fail to see what Trump has done in these 2 years to get us to a lowered interest rate environment, nor can I see what he has planned in the next 2 years to allow the Fed to lower.
