Of course it will as printed money is taken out of the economy. Stock Market will shrink as well. Employment numbers too. The whole economy has been based on Government/Fed fiat money for a decade and a half. ‘Drill baby drill “ and foreign investment in manufacturing via tariffs will mitigate the effects but that will take time. Rough sailing until then.

What drive inflation under Biden was his immigration and energy policies,
I mean marginally, the energy policies especially.
That impact was nothing compared to the excess trillions he added, though.
This is like people thinking we can "grow our economy" to deal with the deficit/debt. The numbers are in 2 different spheres of existence. The entire energy industry is insignificant compared to a trillion dollars. Now imagine what marginal increase and effect removing the Biden regs would have, which is an insignificant number compared to the entire energy industry.

No he's not. Did you miss the CR passed yesterday with Trump approval?

No. I think it's because of what we have all seen from you. You are on edge daily to attack Trump, facts be damned.
Being a member of the Never Trumpites is causing you mental issues.

BREAKING: February CPI inflation FALLS to 2.8%, below expectations of 2.9%.
Core CPI inflation FALLS to 3.1%, below expectations of 3.2%.
This marks the first decline in both Headline and Core CPI since July 2024.
Inflation is cooling down in the US.

Replying to @KobeissiLetter
A testament to the direct correlation of reduced government spending seen in reduced CPI. Right off the bat. When production kicks in from re-shoring manufacturing, GDP is going to rally up too.

Don't we all agree that printing excess trillions in 2020 was something to "attack" Trump for?
I mean I know lots of you were emotionally wrapped up in supporting him regardless at the time, but now, with hindsight bias and all this inflation, it shouldn't be controversial.

Then how, specifically, will we combat inflation while still deficit printing?

I reject the idea that it was his fault.
I truly believe he would have been jailed for life for the murders of millions had he said frick this we’re running Covid like I want to.
I said as much all the time when we were living through it. He had no choice. I blame democrats and everyone who was willing to go along with the hoax.

All you have done is created an environment around you that people either laugh at or ignore.
You can claim that you are a "rocket scientist" all day. But when you walking to McDonalds with your work clothes on daily, nobody is going to believe you are a "rocket man".
That's what you have proven in your words here daily.

Lowering inflation while continuing to pass Continuing Resolutions (CRs) in government is challenging because CRs generally maintain existing spending levels rather than making targeted adjustments to reduce inflationary pressures. However, here are some ways policymakers can work to lower inflation while still relying on CRs:
1. Targeted Spending Reductions
Even if a full budget isn’t passed, CRs can include spending caps or targeted cuts in areas that are driving inflation, such as excessive stimulus programs or inefficient subsidies.
Limiting discretionary spending growth can help curb inflation without shutting down the government.
2. Strengthen Supply Chains
CRs can include funding for infrastructure improvements, port upgrades, or policies that reduce supply bottlenecks, helping to bring down costs.
Encourage domestic production of key goods to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains affected by inflation.
3. Adjust Tax and Fiscal Policies
While passing CRs, Congress can implement tax incentives to encourage productivity and investment rather than excessive consumption.
If necessary, temporary tax increases on certain sectors that contribute to excess demand can help cool inflation.
4. Improve Efficiency in Government Spending
CRs can be written to prioritize cost-effective programs that provide long-term benefits without excessive short-term spending.
Encourage agencies to cut wasteful expenditures and reallocate funds to areas with a deflationary impact (such as housing supply or workforce training).
5. Work with the Federal Reserve
The Fed is the primary driver of inflation control through interest rates, but fiscal policy (government spending) can complement its efforts.
CRs should avoid excessive stimulus spending that works against the Fed’s rate hikes.
6. Focus on Debt Reduction Over the Long Term
While CRs are short-term, they can include language that commits to future fiscal responsibility, helping stabilize expectations.
Policymakers can start working on long-term deficit reduction plans to avoid worsening inflationary pressures.

Yes, regardless of the "why", that was the result.
On an exponentially larger scale than Biden's energy regs.
