An articulate pro-MAGA argument for a tariff reset

[SweetTea]

Stop lying. It is over 3.3% from a 2.7% low. That is called 'going up.' Did you not know that.

Inflation through June of this year is 2.59%. Not sure where you get your data, but it is incorrect. Your are being duped...again. Inflation in 2024 was 2.95%. Inflation is down.

 

[SweetTea]

Your statements are gigglers, are they not?

True statements that really hit home. It is tough for a person to acknowledge that they have never mentally matured beyond the thought processes of an average 16-18 year old. Most never will, thus why they remain Democrats from childhood, back when it was cool to have purple hair and piercings, buck the establishment and bash the rich, all the way through adulthood.

 

[SweetTea]

I dont think I will spend any time worrying about your prognostications if that is ok with you. I suspect you havent become wealthy predicting the future.

Your suspicion is incorrect. You don't become wealthy by going with the flow or whatever Cramer tells you is going to happen. You have to think for yourself. That is not something religious followers of the MSM often do.

What is the inflationary increase from the 1st of January to the 30th of June, please.

317.69 to 322.43

This cumulative rise suggests higher inflation, driven by higher costs in shelter, food, and energy.

This is an annual average for the first six months of 4.5 average change.

This before tariff increases and rising gas and energy kick in.

I have no factored in agricultural cost inflation.

Send Sweet Tea home, nothing there.

And now the tariffs will spike those numers.

Oh, your numbers are unlinked.

What is the Current U.S. Inflation Rate?

They may go up a little, but will settle back down and we will be better for it. The fact is, they aren't spiking now and they didn't spike after liberation day.

Congrats on being rich from predicting the future. I am unable to do that so I invest wisely in index funds with proven track records and work on positioning my company to serve the needs of a specific customer set which provides a strong income and bonus.

What is the next thing you are predicting so I can witness the magic?

Not according to the graphs, and your unsourced information means nothing.

The proof will come with tariffs over the next two months.

I used to think that most Democrats were just misinformed and ignorant. I am beginning to believe that they are just plain stupid more often than not.

 

[Rawley]

I didn't say either of those things. I simply stated that indoctrinated young kids and adults that have never matured are the only hope of the Democratic Party. They could carry them to victory, but it will be a disaster for our country.

NYC and the Socialist/Communist/Antisemite candidate will be telling.

 

[Mac1958]

Today's numbers were a little worrisome, but core inflation wasn't as bad, and it's still possible that the economy will be able to absorb this ridiculous tariff circus.

Consensus is that we'll have a much better idea of what we have with the September report in mid October. We could still dodge a bullet here.

 

[Mac1958]

Today's numbers were a little worrisome, but fortunately core inflation wasn't quite as bad, and it's still possible that the economy will be able to absorb this ridiculous tariff circus.

Consensus is that we'll have a much better idea of what we have with the September report in mid October. Things should be clearer then. We could still dodge a bullet here.

NYC and the Socialist/Communist/Antisemite candidate will be telling.

Many of the educated(fully indoctrinated) youth will vote for the Socialist, as will the poorest of the poor hoping to get some freebees and to punish the evil rich people. The youth are still naive enough to believe the fairytale that we can all live well by spreading the wealth evenly. They have no real world experience. They are unwise. The poor don't have a clue what is best for the country. They just want something for nothing.

Actually core inflation was worse than overall inflation but I agree its too early to tell.

Dodging an imaginary bullet. Is that what you guys are going to go with now? Funny stuff.

Unless I missed it, that's not core inflation.
