$0.06-$0.08 per gallon by slowing down the economy isnt a great trade off genius. What will you do with your $18 annually saved so you can pay higher healthcare premiums, higher prices for tariff goods, and more people on unemployment?

Look at you setting up a strawman just incase the economy goes bad you'll blame it on the Biden administration that passed a great economy over. That is just blind tribalism. Every single meaningful metric has got worse this year. Unemployment, inflation, and GDP specifically. I am not pretending like we are in a crisis yet (like you are doing about the Biden economy which was the best in the world and produced record profits, jobs, employment, GDP growth, and the list goes on) BUT the signals are getting worse not better.

Try developing some objectivism. Happens when you become educated on topics.

inflation rate in oct 2024 was 3.3 % ..

Right wing nuts be nutty. This is what Trump was passed. Shit. How about I walk around and say Trump had 15% unemployment? He did. That wasnt what was passed to Biden. He passed a 6.5% number to Biden. Use your brain.

Again... show me where it is going down this year under Trump. I see it going UP UP and more UP.

The BIG picture over the last 2+ years.

In my response above I provided a link which enables you to interact with the chart I copied and posted.
It allows one to see the annual CPI rate by month. In January 2025 the annual rate was 3.0% as it was in September 2025. It was 3.0% in June 2024 and 3.1% in June 2023. Wouldn't you call that consistent?

From what I'm looking at it's too early to form anything conclusive about the effect of tariffs. If you doubt that, then what's your explanation for similar rises that we've seen within the past couple years?

At 3% vs 2% you are looking at 10% erosion of wealth and purchasing power after 10 years. That is the problem.

I’ll grant you Biden stabilized the inflation to 3% after Trump messed up the economy with covid but Biden passed a 2.4% inflation rate which was declining every month. After tariffs in April the inflation started climbing. That’s going to make people 10% less prosperous shortly. Awesome.

This is a DISASTER. American's are getting poorer every single month under Trump.

DJIA setting new records ever day. Americans are getting richer under this great man. Trump, perhaps the greatest economic mind of this century next to Milton Friedman advised Americans to buy stock last March. A whole lot of people listened and are now very wealthy.

Had Trump been responsible for inflation, it would have increased in his term. It skyrocketed under Biden because he paid people to not work for over a year. Or his handlers did. And that continues with Democrats push to keep up 0bamacare supplements. from COVID.
