Yeah I saw this pretty awesome.

I fully expect it to take a 6-12 months before we see a noticeable drop in inflation.

I’m not talking spreadsheets and small movements one way or the other.
I mean where you notice at the pump and monies left in your account after the month type noticeable.

Chevrolet, Ford, Honda and Toyota are made in the USA so not tariffs. Pick one and get onboard. Trump is trying to make American great again.

What would be cool from a macroeconomic angle would be burdening you with the knowledge that the world has been through exactly the scenario you're describing ... except it began with the world's largest economy, not second largest. Then further burdening you with the knowledge that our Constitutional Republic survived. That would be cool.

Wonder how much of the price of a new car would change if they broke the union stranglehold on the auto industry?

The inflation rate has dropped already. You aren’t ever going to see prices go down if that’s what you’re expecting, that would be deflation and just as bad

Our economy has never collapsed.

You were one pushing bailouts previously, claiming they were necessary to save the economy, so it doesnt shock me you support more corporate welfare.

It hasnt. Weve had a depression.

But even during the previous recession you were one screaming for bailouts.

Free markets arent your thing.

Nah. You've jumped the shark.

I've said TARP was smart, well executed, saved a ton of money and hardship, and in the end did not cost the government 1¢. In fact, the government made money off TARP.

None of that is actually debatable.

Nope, I remember.

Keeping bailing out failed massive corporations is how we got here. Trump needs to encourage entrepreneurship instead of massive subsides to woke corporations.

No. You actually don't. You may think you do. You may have me confused with another poster.

Absolutely. You argued the point relentlessly.

Which is why your current views arent surprising. In an ironic twist, if Trumps economic plans work like they should, we'll be back here again in two years bailing out banks.

On the other hand, strategic tariffs can instead help break up foreign cabals and create a level global economic playing field, creating good jobs here at home.

When used properly, the threat of a new tariff from a U.S. president is a direct attack on foreign special interests—a way to break their illegitimate hold over their governments.



You are still struggling with free trade.

He doesn't understand our current style of "free trade" directly benefits the globalists that I assume he hates since he's such a strong conservative.

Bitch! people can't afford cars now and adding another $10k to the sticker price isn't really going to move the needle for me.


Stupid is as stupid does… we live in a capitalist society where supply and demand are the rules.

If car companies make cars nobody can afford then they go out of business. If people do not buy these cars then prices will come down. The market will correct itself.

Same goes for housing.

About 50% of our economic output goes into automobile and housing manufacture. If nobody buys these things then we are in for the next market collapse and depression.
