Yahoo Finance eh?


Yahoo needs to change their name to Pravda 2.0. Even their sports coverage is as biased and agenda-driven as it gets.


You do know that was a Bloomberg article, published by Yahoo?

I have no idea about the veracity of this study.


But it really doesn't matter becauseI will easily take a consumption tax system over an income tax system.

lol, and yet inflation is under 3%. i think you are looking at a study that is saying what someone really wants to believe


Yes. Wouldn’t inflation be much higher if this study were 100% true?

The study found that only about 4% of the tariff burden is shouldered by foreign firms, with a “near-complete” pass-through of 96% to US buyers that pay the levies and then must either absorb them or raise selling prices.

Ironically its by a German group who is angry about the and wants them stopped...

After receiving several responses addressing that question, you pivoted to your personal situation. Lower gas costs, a higher 401K balance, and being better off overall. I pointed out that those are anecdotal experiences and do not answer the question you asked, at which point you responded by calling me a “stupid sumbitch” or some shite.

My point was simple. Your personal outcomes, especially on an anonymous message board, are not evidence that tariffs did not increase prices on any goods. They are just descriptions of how you are doing. If you took offense to that, it wasn’t an insult. It was a clarification about what does and does not constitute evidence.

Inflation ended the year at 2.7% and your gas prices aren’t insane anymore.

I trust Trump on the economy over the idiots you guys put in and the data backs that up. Not feels.

"a study from a German think tank concluded"



Your "German think tank" should let Friedrich Merz and the German government in on its finding, because Merz&Co are in Davos squealing like pigs over the possibility of Greenland tariffs.

That's the whole argument against the tariffs, it will cause inflation.
Tariffs don't cause inflation. They may cause higher prices for some goods effected by the tariffs, but inflation is a general rise in the price level - i.e. all goods.

By definition, inflation reflects a continuous rise in an aggregate price index (such as the Consumer Price Index or GDP deflator), not a one-time price change or isolated price increases.

Tariffs can't cause that.
