Cooked….GOP is fricking cooked. This country is cooked. We’ve got one year to get some shite codified because there will be a blue wave in midterms and Trump is going to be impeached.

So you have evidence that present that supports this then. Care to share?

But its still inflationary, when entangled in a trade war.
What has the inflation rate done since April? gone up or gone down?

True, but a lot of our manufacturing base did leave, hence the scarcity of jobs in manufacturing (bc it was cheaper overseas).

The rise in inflation since the initiation of tariffs has been a topic of interest and analysis. Research from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) indicates that tariffs have increased the U.S. inflation rate by 0.7 percentage points between March and August 2019. This increase in inflation was due to the gradual transmission of tariff costs to U.S. consumers, as the average tariff rates for imported goods were about 20% at that time. The inflation rate for August was 2.9%, which would have been 2.2% without tariffs, putting the U.S. closer to the Federal Reserve's inflation target of 2%.

Low margin, low paying assembly line jobs.

Trade most likely helps create more US wealth than low level mfg. If you buy cheap imports and sell for a profit, that wealth increase is on this side of the ledger.

Accurate

Congressional Republicans will lose the midterms all on their own. And then blame Trump so they can try to nominate Mike Pence or someone equally as atrocious to be the nominee.

They are despicable and deserve to lose the election for squandering the majority we gave them chasing Neocon Dreams that have no support and can’t win an election.

The Democrats aren’t an alternative. They’re sitting around fighting the last war about Muh Transgenders instead of enacting the legislation they were elected to enact.

This says 2019, 6 years ago. Show me the data for 2025.

Bananas aren’t the only industry affected. The Fed’s Beige Book survey in August said all regions were seeing tariff-related price increases, spanning sectors from food and retail to manufacturing and health care, with many businesses reporting they’ve started to pass those costs on to consumers.

Overall, Americans now face an average tariff rate of 17.4% — the highest since 1935 — an increase estimated to cost households an extra $2,300 in 2025, according to the Yale Budget Lab. (These estimates include tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which remain in place while the court challenge is pending).

Trump is responsible for the highest tax increase in 30 years, maybe longer before we're done.

Interesting, I haven't seen it at all. Doesn't pass the sniff test. Have seen egg prices WAY down. Paid 2.48 a gallon for gasoline this morning, where it was 3.20 or so last Dec. I commute 36K a year to work and my wife commute about 12K. I buy around 1000 gallons and she buys 700 or so. This year gas will cost us $4200 and last year it cost us 5500. We're 1300 better off just with gas.

Of course, you have your head up your arse.

I’m not either. The people bitching the most about Trump blame him for things that are the fault of Republicans not Trump. What have they accomplished all year long other than grandstanding over the Epstein files? They are useless and deserve to lose

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Trump pulled in a number of democrat voters in prior elections. No Trump on the ballot is a problem. No Trump on the ballot and rough economic times is a recipe for disaster for a variety of reasons.

The cpi went up from 1.4% (year over year) in Jan 2021 to 9% in June of 2022, but Trump raising the cpi from from 2.3% in April 2025 to 2.9% in Aug 2025 is the biggest tax increase in 30 years? More that doesn't pass the sniff test.

I think losing is exactly what the republicans want. The repubs don't want to fight and don't want to do anything.
