Core Inflation pushing near 3%

[Marener]

Yes, you sure can, in fact, we already do that. Where does it stop? Your side of the aisle seems pretty keen on Socialism, which explains why all the Socialists candidates run on the Democratic ticket.

Your side seems pretty keen on fascism which is why all the fascists candidates run on the MAGA ticket.

Just trying to understand your perspective. Sorting through all your hypocrisy is tough, because you don't really have a perspective. You just have a partisan narrative.

You ignore everything that isn't consistent with it, and make up crazy crap that is.

Not really. A candidate couldn't run and win on the Republican ticket if they called themselves a Republican Fascist. A Democrat can run on the Democratic ticket as a Democratic Socialist and win. That tells you all you need to know about just how far left your party has gone.

A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. The fascists don't call themselves fascists, but they're way more dangerous than any of the democratic socialists you whine about. The fact that you keep electing Trump shows us how insane your party has gone.

Like how BLS numbers are fake when they're good for Biden and real when they're good for Trump. Like how real wages don't matter under Biden but they're a big deal under Trump. Like how you think tax cuts pay for themselves. Like how you say you're for helping working class but raise taxes on them through tariffs. Like how you won't talk about the gibberish that Trump says.

You missed the point entirely. Assuming for a minute that Trump is a fascist, which he clearly is not, he would not be elected if he ran as such because Republicans wouldn’t vote for him. Your side is ok with electing a self-professed Socialist because they actually agree with Socialist. You can claim that Trump has fooled all of us into voting for a fascist, but the reality is that we would not support a true fascist. Trump is nowhere near as detrimental to our country as a Socialist would be. That is a mind bogglingly ignorant comment, however, I don’t expect any less from those of you who are FULLY indoctrinated.

I noted that numbers were often revised. I also noted thhey seemed to be heavily revised in Biden’s favor and not in Trump’s. You don’t see it, because you don’t want to see it.

Tax cuts along with some spending cuts do pay for themselves. Far fewer cuts are necessary when taxes are cut than when they are raised due to the stimulative effect of cuts on the economy. What your party supports is tax hikes and no cuts which leads to perpetual hikes due to a slowing of the economy. Around and around we go. It works for you, because ultimately you and your klan want Socialism and higher and higher taxes on the “rich” to lead to an equalization of wealth. We can all be equally miserable, minus the ruling class of course. Maybe they have you so fooled that you don’t even realize that this your party’s ultimate goal. The Democratic Party wasn’t always that way, but they were high-jacked a couple of decades ago by the far-left whose policies are endorsed and promoted by our enemies who have since been infiltrating our educational system indoctrinating people like you, particularly at the collegiate level. Progressivism gone wild.

So far, tariffs haven’t significantly affected any class. I much prefer that route because it has an upside, which is to bring some manufacturing back into our country. Taxing only the “rich”, will promote less investment in our country and gets us nowhere as pointed out above.

Looks like inflation is pushing into 3% territory. Core inflation was 2.9%.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/business/cpi-report-inflation-june.html

The Consumer Price Index rose 2.7 percent from a year ago, the swiftest pace since February, data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed on Tuesday. That is slightly higher than expected and is up from an annual pace of 2.4 percent in May.

“Core” inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices and is seen as a reliable gauge for underlying price pressures, also shifted higher. Those prices were up 2.9 percent from the same time last year.

Another citygator thread fail.

My post continues to be 100% accurate and unimpeachable. You haven’t posted anything that counters it.

Separately only people who aren’t in the business world (morons like you on this site) dont see the wave of inflation coming. We could all be wrong, sure, so I will be watching, but I know 100% for a fact my costs and all my competitors costs and all our prices to other businesses all up 5-7% for this fall and next spring.

"Like how BLS numbers are fake when they're good for Biden..."

Look at how often the phony numbers from the Biden Clown were later revised from bad to worse.

Explain how the BLS was trying to help Biden by revising the numbers from bad to worse?

As'plain why the Biden employment numbers were frequently revised downward.

https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/4842492-job-additions-overstated-biden-harris/

"The government recently reported that job gains between March 2023 and March 2024 had been overstated by 818,000, a breath-taking “goof” by the official bean counters. All those reports that were cheered by the Biden-Harris administration? They were as phony as a three-dollar bill."

The issue primarily seems to be poor response rates primarily coming from small businesses who are disproportionately vulnerable.

Why would we assume it was political bias?

Just the beginning of the trump economy. Somehow he will blame Obama or Biden.

When the BLS revised down jobs numbers under Biden, right wingers say they were trying to help him.

When the BLS revised down jobs numbers under Trump, right wingers say they were trying to hurt him.

It makes no sense but we aren’t supposed to notice that.

You leftist loons are befuddled. The Biden Clown Show falsified job numbers and then had to revise those numbers down when his numbers were shown to be fraudulent.

I think we are all trying to guess where the economy will go based on Trump's ridiculous policies. I'll watch and see, but I will continue to weigh in on the signs until it is clear. I have no problem being wrong. I thought the economy was in trouble during covid but it held up much stronger and the stock market bounced back fast. We will see about this disaster.
