Why is inflation caused by tariffs a bad thing while inflation caused by higher taxes is not?
2025 is here and this is what is happening!

Who said that?
It's from the reactions when both happen. Apply tariffs, "Oh, noes, prices are going up, it's the politicians' fault!!!", completely ignoring the CEO's that pass the cost increase on to the consumers. Raise corporate taxes, "What do you mean, they're going to raise prices? They're supposed to just absorb the higher costs, it's the CEO's fault, and I don't care if prices go up, we're going to stick it to the CEO!!", completely ignoring the politicians that jacked the costs up in the first place.
Higher taxes = good, tariffs = double plus ungood.

Here is what is actually happening; on USMB anyway----------->you have someone who has been here since middle of August as more than LIKELY a sock for another Leftist, averaging almost 50 posts a day. Let me spell that for you--------->FIFTY posts a day, lol. Notice, how such a SOCK shows up, just in time for the election, but the sock is to damn dumb to realize that USMB is to small of a forum to have any influence on the election unless extremely close. He/she does NOT want an exchange of ideas to learn and teach something, he wants to hose anything not Leftist! WASTE OF TIME IN A FORUM SO SMALL!
Well, he/she MISCACLUATED that one, hehehehehehehehehehehehe! So unless he is getting paid by the post, he is totally wasting his time.....along with FLOOZY, IM2, and the rest of the Leftist crew. Nobody listens to these small group of Leftists; and most of them have to have SOCKS to make it appear there is many of them, when everyone here knows that at the most, there is 10 to 12.
Maybe they are like me and LOVE YANKING chains! But for me, I am retired, lol. Most of them are not, if any!
Point is, from CURRIED GOATS, to IM2, to DRAGONCHICK, to MACAFLOOZY, including FORT FUN, with ANTONTOOMUCHphonyness, they all have one thing in common------------->they have to create NARRATIVES, instead of debating facts.
ASK them----------->did DJT win because the economy was bad? NO, NO, NO, the economy was good, Americans are just to dumb to realize it!
Did he win because the border is way to porous? Nooooooooooo, it is as tight as a drum, don't ya know!
Did he win because of illegal alien crime? There is no illegal alien crime, that is a GOP talking point!
They have to out and out lie, then quote some nonsensical Leftist study to push their agenda, while Americans LIVE IT and know these Leftists are as full of sh** as a Thanksgiving turkey. And yet, and yet, they STILL push their narratives.
Again, of course they do, because if they do not use their LAWFARE nonsense, they have absolutely NOTHING; and most of America agrees......much to their chagrin! They LOST because they thought they were BRILLIANT and regular Americans were dumb, and got surprised that their arrogance did NOT carry the day!

With an approval ratings in the mid 30's there must be either a lot of Trump lovers or a whole lot of Biden haters.
Ah, so you DO blame the politicians when tariffs jack up prices. Do you also blame the politicians when higher taxes do the same thing, or do you excuse them and blame the CEO's?

The reality of what has been happening.
How America Lost Its Mind
The Assault on Reason That’s Crippling Our Democracy
Americans are losing touch with reality. On virtually every issue, from climate change to immigration, tens of millions of Americans have opinions and beliefs wildly at odds with fact, rendering them unable to think sensibly about politics. In How America Lost Its Mind, Thomas E. Patterson explains the rise of a world of “alternative facts” and the slow-motion cultural and political calamity unfolding around us.
So you are really a guy? And what is this garbage about next Monday being Trash Day? That is a load of rubbish!
I was joking LOL

Yet another tRumpling^ who doesn't understand Orwell.
What higher taxes? I always hear about cuts. Refresh our memory on when income taxes were last raised.
The Inflation Reduction Act, 2022. Seriously, were you not paying attention?
