re: Inflation and mid terms

What can we realistically do about the cost of everything (and I mean everything) being so high and constantly getting higher at unreasonable rates

Nothing. They’ve done most of what they can and it’s gotten under better control by getting it under 3% but you’re not going to have deflation


Wages have grown 4.2% so that’s what you realistically can hope for. Wage growth to outpace inflation. To do this you need economic policies that promote growth and investment in the U.S. and strict immigration policy so companies cannot use cheap imported labor to hold down wages. Trump is doing this.

To really get inflation more under control we need to stop deficit spending and start cutting spending to reduce the deficit. Deficit spending through printing money or excessive borrowing increases the money supply which devalues the dollar and lowers purchasing power, thus increasing price of goods. It’s essentially a tax via inflation. For all the pearl clutching people do on tariffs, this is what they should be whining about because as long as we are borrowing or printing 1.8 trillion a year, that will have a far bigger effect on inflation than tariffs ever will

Democrat Policies

TDS folks are so desperate for people to come to their side that they’ll just make up shite and call you a lib hoping you’ll join them

It shows they are losing

If you love tariffs, 100%.

"You cant tax yourself into prosperity"

You ever heard this quote before?

You cant even explain why tariffs are bad other than what CNN tells you

we don't need people to come to our side. we have the majority already. the only thing we need to do is to make sure your dead ancestors aren't voting blue, along with all your illegal friends.....if we can make that happen, we won't ever lose power again. There is a reason the Dems want an open border, and it isn't because they are hospitable and feel sorry for the illegals...it is because they know they don't have the votes in this country, so they have to manufacture votes...bring them in, pay them to stay, and teach them how to vote illegally. The open Border is ONLY about the Dems lust for power, and they know that's the only way they can maintain it. The american people, at least the majority, have had enough. Keep listening to the liberal media...they will tell you what you want to hear, even offer up polls showing that your party is winning the war.....but it is all lies...always. The 2020 election will not be kind to the dems, historically. It'll all come out one day. The steal was real.

Democrat Policies

Is one of those Democrat policies spending 2 trillion more than the US brings in in revenue? Isn’t that policy PRECISELY what leads to inflation?

quote:

unfortunately the policy changes that need to be made to right the ship, will be political suicide for the party that does it..

.

And actual suicide if you don’t. We’ll never know if we don’t try. Trump ran on the promise of trying.

We'll look back in 50 years and shake our heads at how marketing campaigns normalized putting 1/4cup sugar in a 12oz drink.
