If you can't be specific, it must not exist! Says the Ostrich.

In reality, the majority of the price increases will be small. If there is a 20% increase on a $1 item, it's only an extra 20 cents. So you're not likely to look at a single item and say - OMG there was a huge increase. But when it's hitting many products a single person uses, it will have an effect even if a specific product isn't solely to blame.

To see such a thing in a single product, you'd need to make a big purchase.

just admit you can’t cite a product that has become more expensive after tariffs. You are a joke.

You said the decrease in inflation was due to Biden’s policies. In this very thread you said that. I ask for specifics and you respond with this?


No I didn't.

The more expensive the product, the more the increase will be. However, it will always be a small % of the original price and not that noticeable in itself.

Or, just buy a bunch of something in bulk.

And if inflation is down right now, it's likely due to Biden, not Trump and certainly not the BBB that just increased spending.

You would have to be privy to the contracts to know that. Dummy. Which product has increased in expense? Be specific.

Apparently, good reading comp isn't required to be a tax attorney.

Again, the affects of inflation at this point would be an indication of Biden policies, not Trump. Because of the lagged response. The effects of Trumps policies have no yet taken affect.

Facts.

And as I further explained which you just want to ignore so you can argue and point fingers, the overall policy of both is inflation and the ups and downs are merely the variable part of the lag.

And with that, I'm done with you for today.
