Feb Jobs report

[SweetTea]

Tariffs have not caused significant, broad-based inflation YET primarily because companies have absorbed costs into their profit margins rather than passing them to consumers, and inventory stockpiling delayed the impact. Additionally, tariffs often act as a tax on specific goods rather than a general price increase, and they can reduce demand, putting downward pressure on prices.


Yes, overall prices are expected to continue rising in 2026, driven by factors like tariffs and supply chain pressures, with inflation showing signs of picking up in early 2026 rather than cooling. While some sectors may see moderation, costs for essential goods like groceries, gas, insurance, and housing are likely to stay high or increase.

Spin away. First it was that tariffs are passed directly on to consumers. Now it is that companies are absorbing some of them. What they won't tell you is that foriegn importers and manufacturers have also cut prices and absorbed some as well.

Prices will rise because inflation won't be 0%. As I pointed out above, core CPI was lower 4th quarter 2025 than 4th quarter 2024, despite tariffs. Gas will not be higher once this conflict is settled.

Today's jobs report and the price of oil have really taken a toll on some of my positions this week.

.

Don't ever allow lying dem media to change your perspective.

EVER!

As for the price of oil, it is a leaf in the wind.

Core CPI was 3.1% 4th quarter 2024. It was 2.6% 4th quarter 2025. Your point?



We are dealing with TDS inflicted children in Congress. That can't be fixed. They either get what they want or they throw a tantrum.

We ended 2024 with 2.9%... We ended 2025 with 2.7%.

It went UP in 2024 and UP AGAIN in 2025.

Its virtually the same. If you think anyone is seeing price relief you are craaazy.

Things are great. Prices are down. No wars. LOve it. I'm joining MAGA tonight.

Yes we know what a hypocrite Trump is you don't need to remind us.

In the Obama years Trump said Bill Clinton was jealous and them going after him for Monica was ridiculous. THEN Trump had to run as a Republican


Yes, former President Bill Clinton stated during the 2024 Democratic National Convention that "Since the end of the Cold War, in 1989, America has created about 51 million new jobs... What's the score? Democrats 50 (million), Republicans 1 (million)".

If you add in December and February job losses AND DOGE government job cuts, Republicans are NEGATIVE JOBS created since the cold war. Democrats 50 million jobs created on our watch.

How stupid are the American people? Pretty darn stupid I say. Like you.

Yes getting rid of government jobs we don't need is a great thing.

Virtually every government shutdown has been engineered by Republicans, except the most recent one.

You mean except this one and the one last year? And then during Trump's first term when they opposed a DACA bill. Except for those times. Biden didn't have any shutdowns because Republicans were willing to negotiate. Democrats don't do that for Trump. TDS is real.

But I thought tariffs were supposed to have a huge impact on inflation? If so, then just imagine how low inflation would have been without the implemenation of additional tariffs. Why weren't the numbers lower for Biden since he didn't have the additional tarffis in place?

Core inflation was lower last quarter than they were when Biden left office. That is the bottom line. You guys can't figure out why that is.

No, prices aren't going down because inflation is not 0%.

Again, core inflation was lower last quarter than it was the last quarter of Biden's term. Keep spinning.

One day you may wake up.

The economy slowed in 2025. Inflation should have fallen off pretty far. It didnt due to tariffs. It stayed virtually flat which is why people are worried about Stagflation - bad economy and rising prices. We are close.

Look. I dont care who gets credit for a growing GDP and low inflation but that is not where we are. We have seen a softening of the economy (i didnt say a terrible economy) and we have seen consistently rising prices.. still.

The bottom is really bearing the burden of the softening.

Nonsense. Remember Trump said this?
"I think Bill Clinton was a great president,’" Trump said in the interview that was conducted shortly after the 2008 presidential election on NY1's "Inside City Hall" program.

"You know, you look at the country then. The economy was doing great. Look at what happened during the Clinton years. I mean we had no war, the economy was doing great, everybody was happy. A lot of people hated him because they were jealous as hell,’" Trump said.

He could easily be talking about Biden or Obama. My god the mess Trump has put us in. Gas going up because of Trump. After tariffs drove everything else up? Are Republicans insane?

Just cleaning up the mess that Biden and Obama made. Thank God it's not up to you or we would still be wallowing in it.

 

[Blisterfinger]

Every Jobs Report issued by the Trump Administration is been revised downward, and yet you don't say Trump lied about jobs that don't exist.

The method of issuing a Jobs Reports on the first Friday of the month, before the information is fully received, results in revisions - UNDER ANY PRESIDENT.

You partisan morons just look for excuses to hate on Democrats for no reason. This is why you're believed to be gullible and stupid. Because you PROVE it to us every time you post.

Biden lied about the crime report as well. You were fooled

 

[sealybobo]

Yes getting rid of government jobs we don't need is a great thing.

Dude, Kristi Noem, trump, Kash and Pete are bankrupting us.

I don't believe we added jobs in January. That would mean we are in a recession. Lost jobs in December and February that's for sure.

You guys cant make up your mind. Biden is a mastermind data manipulator in one post and a senile old man in another.

Crime reports are not lies genius.

Because you been right about Trump so far? Lol

I usually preface my "Biden" with "or whoever was in charge" because we really don't know. You put someone in the office of the presidency that was a mystery. You were fooled. Genius LOL

 

[sealybobo]

Because you been right about Trump so far? Lol

More! I can't believe the shit he's pulled since being back in office. Noem got fired finally. Pete should have too when he group chatted war plans and cc'ed a reporter.

Tariffs are illegal. Check.

How many untrained ICE agents murdered Americans so far?

Prices are going up when you promised to lower them. So don't give me that shit that inflation has slowed. It already did under Biden. Trump was going to make things CHEAPER. A little bit more is a big deal. And now gas? The one thing Trump had going for him?

And he starts a war to take our minds off Epstein and his poll numbers. Just like he said Obama would. What a joke you all are.

So he went from mastermind to powerless in the span of one of your posts to the other. Thats fast even for a flip-flopping righty.

Things are going great I don't know what you are talking about.

Stock markets worldwide are sinking on worries about whether the global economy can withstand spiking prices for oil, which briefly got to nearly $120 per barrel on Monday.

And come to find out we lost jobs in December and February? That's not good at all.

But Republicans will tell you that inflation has slowed and wages are up and things aren't unaffordable. Things are going great.

This is the problem with living in two different realities

"Alternative facts" is a phrase coined by Kellyanne Conway, then-counselor to U.S. President Donald Trump, during a January 22, 2017, Meet the Press interview with Chuck Todd. It was used to defend Press Secretary Sean Spicer's false statements regarding inauguration attendance numbers.
When asked why Spicer uttered a "provable falsehood," Conway responded that he was providing "alternative facts"

Trump said so and he’s never been caught lying. Right?
