Until they stop printing and spending it will continue to rage. Every else is just window dressing.

Blame the oil and gas cartels. It’s clear now to anyone with eyes that they were artificially inflating prices until the election.

Once again, Trump is proven right.

One only needs to examine this thread to see why the GOP got blown out.

Lots of blaming democrats (lmao), shifting blame from Trump, and general disregard for the average American

Trump is doubling-down on his shitty policies designed to enrich his family. Unless the GOP rejects Trump, the democrats are going to have super-majorities and the executive branch in 2029.

The more the government spends, the more expensive things are for everyone, Trump and this congress have spent like 18 year old oil field trash with a paycheck at a strip joint.

What is going to give is the interest rates. It was a mistake not to increase them already. Now, it will be a faster ramp up and more painful.

This puts PAID to the dispute over Fed Chairman Powell’s refusal to lower rates. Powell was correct; Trump was incorrect.

I'm all about the early bird and getting the worm and all of that, but damn.


Why not?

The DSA loons haven't been sworn in and yet there are millions of DSA loyalist who believe gas prices are dropping because the DSA will control Congress.

Yea this board has been wild to read the last week. They just live in the same bubble as Trump. 2028 is looking pretty hopeless if R’s are truly this clueless.

MAGA’s value propositions has morphed into “about the same as Biden”.

- same spending as Biden (a bit worse)
- same inflation as Biden
- same deficits and moar debt than Biden

Not only that, but the trillions minted under Trump and supply chain disruptions as a result of policy Trump signed off on is what caused most of that inflation.

Isnt the claim. There is price inflations and money supply inflation. No one claimed tariffs cause the latter. The former however… is the entire purpose of tartifs is to raise prices.
