Here’s a novel idea. Want to stop inflation? Quit printing money.

Problem solved.

Inflation at this moment isn’t bad as long as wages go up - which they are.

That is Trump's strategy and it is working but its a tough poltical sell and slogan.

I’m glad he’s President instead of Potato Biden or Harris, but hopefully the conservative/Republican base in 2028 nominates someone who doesn’t have the swing emotions of a 16 year old girl.

Are we still printing money like PedoJoe and HeelsUp were? Thought we were shutting crap down through DOGE and Fraud investigations?

Inflation affects everyone. Wage increases measured at a national level don't. I know it's my own anecdotal experience, but I haven't gotten a raise that matched inflation in years, including this year and probably next year as well. I k ow there's a lot of people in the same boat as me as well. Thankfully we make enough we aren't close to living paycheck to paycheck.

Yes, here’s a thought, spend less than you take in. Then cut taxes and spend even less than you take in. Do that over and over again. It’s not complicated.

From the article:
quote:

The president added that the United States is “‘carrying’ almost every country in the World” and said that “cannot go on any longer,”


Spending reductions are the beginning.

If we would cut the fraud and quit carrying the world on our back we would have no deficit.

I’m convinced of this in what little time Elon and guys like Shirley have been able to expose.

Lumber prices are down but interest rates are up or interest rates are down but lumber prices are up. How about that 0% interest rate on your car that retails for $84,000 or you can buy it with cash for $59,000.

Same game.

Yes it is

Inflation is when the price of everything goes up, including factors of production. Labor is a factor of production.



With that said, well under half of the population has a wage that is keeping up with inflation right now. If inflation accelerates, that portion will be even lower

Tell that to people on fixed income.



Inflation is the worst of taxes because it hurts the poor more than anyone.

Which is crazy because it also takes the least amount of value from them, but they don't have the luxury or room to make up the difference, they just do with less.

Everyone should be happy then. Inflation is below the 50 year average.
