The January inflation rate is the highest reported for some time. Recalling that Speaker Ryan actually delivered a wage hike of $1.53 per week from the Tax Cuts: Then that can be noticed, too(?)!
Inflation Starts to Make a Comeback
A 5-10% annual inflation may not be in the offing, much closer to 5% inflation is already here. Companies having to borrow heavily, now can raise prices to cover the costs.
"Zip" goes the Tax Cut as a Republican accomplishment.
The inflation stimulus was clearly unnecessary, and badly thought through.
Slipping it into the porn star, right after the birth of the youngest boy: Is likely more on board as an issue in the Midterms, than is the inflation-causing. . . stimulus of that kind.
A "Goose," so far: Is not reported(?)! There may be the lawyer with more details.
"Thinking things through" is not so far easily noted a White House pillar of political support(?)! "How it may look or resonate. . .or stimulate". . .is not even on a flash radar(?)! Mostly, birds still tweet. Then there is what the White House. . . Exposes.

(Many not take name of Great Spirit, "Seven Come Eleven," in vain anymore(?)! Nigerian state-regulated gambling even advises not to bet with basis in financial need, or as an income source!)
It's not too bad ... yet. But, we'll see. Imo the more near term downside will be if any monetary stimulus given by whatever % of the trillion dollar cut actually going to consumption is simply swallowed up by higher prices.The January inflation rate is the highest reported for some time.

Milton Friedman called inflation, "The too many tax cut dollars chasing too few goods and services," or something(?),
My understanding of economics isn't even in the textbooks. Moses took simple usury arithmetic and turned into a weapon of disadvantage to all humanity in Deuteronomy 23:19-20. Many even think that to be the origin of Holocaust. Early civilization may have created usury--a loan of three bags of barley, repaid with four--as a means of creating a stable food supply. A community of neighbors, taming even animals, was created.
Moses, in that passage, advised against creating civilization: And instead screwing any civilization that existed--profiteering, instead. Moses was educated of Imperial Egypt. That was a widely famous dehumanizing civilization, greatly admired in the Roman Empire, of that fame. Acts 7 notes that Moses was educated in the "wisdom" (and folly) of Imperial Egypt, savage, brutalizing, maiming, enslaving, conquering, butchering--and probably groping: Egypt.
Jesus ben Joseph, Son of Mary, Called, "Oh Christ!" even put it into stories. Matthew 25:14-30, describes the usury outcome of the servants with the various amounts. The servant with the one talent can't possibly keep up, so gets less--and effectively, nothing. That is now called, "An Impact of Inflation."
Again: Your mortgage rate adjusts, you get cast out into foreclosure! You say that any advanced civilization would allow that, encourage that, or even watch it happen!?!
Actually, you call it: "Federal Reserve Board of Governors." Others may simply say, "It depends on which Jew is counting," but Chairlady Yellen can even be said to be, "Gone With The Mud," like a lot of Montecito, CA.
Moses clearly knew nothing about arithmetic: Is actually the better statement of what has happened. Jesus provided a remedy in Matthew 20:1-16, allowing that an equal payment could prime the spending, lower and middle income sectors. The servant needing only the one hour of work for the pay--was likely satiated, already.
The 1986 Tax Reform raised the equal amount standard deduction for everyone--equally. It was indexed. It helped to throw millions off the tax rolls forever. Obama made the "Make Work Pay" credit refundable, so filers got the $400 per regardless if they were not due a refund. The Republicans took that away first order of business, 2011.
That is not a lot of history. Humans have actually had a stable food supply for 5000 years, after farming was invented.
Economics is like that. Without a lot more money, the ability to repay credit (usury based): Is from inflation. The Republicans have created the expectation of spending money. Inflation now follows.

It is not just the tax cuts. The coming trillion dollar deficits combined with the tax cuts are going to pump a enormous amount of dollars into the economy. All those dollars are going to be chasing a limited amount of goods and services. Companies will be able to make price increases stick. The fed will raise interest rates to slow the economy down.
Usually when the economy picks up, the deficit goes down. That means there is less need to borrow. Now we have a strong economy and trillion dollar deficits. This is a unprecedented economic situation.
Your understanding of economics is wanting
Unlike Andaronjim-economics(?), the conservative view of inflation is what Milton Friedman stated. The Depth of the "Great Recession" was lessened with the Quantitative Easing. What was the QE for? Propping up prices, and buying back the worthless paper, held by the banks.
The housing market nevertheless took a big tumble, and banks had to be bailed out--and large corporations.
The lower and the middle incomes couldn't when Bush was in office--and now that Groping-Bush is back, then here it likely comes again.
The Groping-Bush will actually more likely be remembered.

It actually gets worse. The Banks got bailed out on all of those defaulted mortgages. That means they double dipped, they not only got the bailout money they got to keep the houses. Nice gig if you can get it eh?
Nope.
"After the original $700 billion bailout, the ongoing bailout was kept very secret because Chairman Ben Bernanke, argued that revealing borrower details would create a stigma — investors and counterparties would shun firms that used the central bank as lender of last resort. In fact, $7.7 trillion of the secret emergency lending was only disclosed to the public after Congress forced a one-time audit of the Federal Reserve in November of 2011. After the audit the public found out the bailout was in trillions not billions; and that there were no requirements attached to the bailout money - the banks could use it for any purpose."

"Banks Repaid Fed Bailout With Other Fed Money: Government Report"
But 48 percent of the banks that have repaid the CPP used money they’d gotten from other federal programs, according to the GAO report. Those programs include the Community Development Capital Initiative — another TARP program — and the Small Business Lending Fund, a program designed to encourage lending to small businesses. Both of those programs have more favorable borrowing terms for the banks than the original CPP.

This isn’t a new issue — The Wall Street Journal reported last October that banks were repaying TARP funds with cash earmarked for small-business loans, after the Independent Community Bankers of America lobbied for the ability to switch money “from one Treasury program to the other.”
Nope.

Why do you guys keep saying all of the loans were repaid??
I have spelled this out to folks like you 1000 times.
If you borrow $1000 from the bank that has a one time balloon payment in a year, and at the end of the year the bank says "hey wait...we will give you a loan for $1500 at NO interest and you can pay back your loan with it!!"
Guess what>>> YOU DIDN'T PAY THE LOAN OFF.
Nope.

Only because they were. Years and years ago. At a big profit to the Treasury.
