For the first time in over 20 years more Americans say we are on the right track. Just 1 month in.

[Nostra]

Are the people being hurt the most really going to benefit from this?

A sharp drop in air fares, which fell 4% just in February from the previous month, helped bring down overall inflation. Rental price increases also slowed and the costs of hotel rooms and car insurance rose much more slowly in February than the previous month.

So if uneducated blue collar workers are flying around, they'll see inflation went down. If not, they'll see rental prices went up. Granted A LITTLE. But Trump said he would bring prices down. Not increase them a little.

Also car insurance and hotel prices went up. Much more slowly than in previous months, but still, prices are STILL going up. Not down.

Oh and by the way. It doesn't matter if thing are getting better. Things got better under Biden. You guys said that might be true but people don't FEEL like things are getting better. So it doesn't matter if things are getting better. Do people FEEL like things are getting better?

Why might prices feel high if inflation is slowing? | USAFacts

Inflation is down, but three in four Americans are still concerned about coming price increases.

Inflation is down, but three in four Americans are still concerned about coming price increases.

Published January 28, 2025

After rising to a 40-year high of 9.1% in June 2022, the inflation rate trended down for much of 2023 and 2024, falling to a low of 2.4% in September 2024

Remember you said it didn't FEEL like inflation was down in Sept 2024? Even though it was?

Maybe because 2.4% was still 50% higher than when Tater took office.

Like I said if it went up more it would be a failure and you're sitting here saying it lowering is a failure. Nothing he does is going to make you happy.

Back to -9 ...

This is honeymoon period as you can see...

Obama had way better numbers in 2009... Biden did better 4 years ago too...

This is all optimistic stuff...

What will this number be like in the Trumpession....

We will have MAGA on everyday telling us it is not a crime to kill the economy and it is really Trump's plan along and stupid Dems don't understand how clever he is...

 

[jbrownson0831]

Trump said inflation would start coming down "on day one."

Promise kept!

The last reading on inflation under the Usurper Zombie was 5.7%, annualized. Trump's first reading is 2.4%, annualized.

Ooh, dimtards hate statistics and facts.....

As long as the democrats who scammed $billions end up in prison, I'm happy.
Austerity is always tougher than borrowing and throwing cash out of helicopters like Biden.

Trump is the adult in the room. $36T in DEBT is a serious issue that needs attention.

The good news is that Elon and DOGE are finding $trillions to cut.

Trump might not have inflation if US goes into a recession...

Are we going to find out Trump gave the airlines $1 billion to lower their prices just for a month so to not make him look so bad? Like he just did with eggs?

Imagine giving the egg makers $1 billion dollars to lower their prices because you are getting bad press

Like I said if it went up more it would be a failure and you're sitting here saying it lowering is a failure. Nothing he does is going to make you happy.

That's right. Just like nothing Biden did made you happy. Let me ask you. Did your home value and stocks go up on Biden's watch?

From 2019 to 2022, the median net worth of American families jumped 37% to $192,900, after adjusting for inflation. It’s the largest increase ever recorded by the federal Survey of Consumer Finances, released last fall. Surging home values and rising stock ownership fed the surge.

Was unemployment low?

By every measure, Biden was better than Trump.

Trump blaming Biden for what's going on today is like him walking out of a bathroom after he just took a big shit and telling the person next in line not to go in there because Biden was in there 3 months ago.

The debt itself don't mean Jack-Shit.

The fact that we have to use a substantial part of our Federal Budget to pay it back -- Does.

Over One TRILLION Dollars on interest. That is $1,000,000,000,000 that is getting flushed down the shitter

 

[Marener]

Is he the adult? Because he is promising more than he could possibly deliver.

You can’t cut taxes by trillions, keep entitlements, increase defense spending and bring down the debt.

That’s a fantasy.

 

[Edgetho]

In the 2024 federal fiscal year (October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024), the US government spent $6.75 trillion while collecting $4.92 trillion in revenue, resulting in a deficit of $1.83 trillion.

With fears brewing over tariffs and jobs, President Donald Trump and his top lieutenants are acknowledging there could be some short-term pain for the economy and markets before it gets better.

Reminds me of Bush

Rumsfeld: It Would Be A Short War​

There will be no World War III starting with Iraq, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld declared Thursday, and rejected concerns that a war would be a quagmire.
"Five days or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that," he said. "It won't be a World War III."

 

[Independent thinker]

The WINNING just keeps coming. America is on board with what Trump is doing.


For the first time in 20 years, Americans feel like the country is going in the right direction.

A survey published in mid-February from Rasmussen Reports revealed that for the first time in 20 years, respondents felt that the country was finally going in the right direction. “This is a big one,” the organization wrote in a caption revealing the data. The poll found that 47% of Americans felt the country was on the right track, with 46% felt we’re still on the wrong track.

The data dropped less than a month into Trump’s second term. Since taking office, Trump has signed a series of Executive Orders at whiplash-inducing speed, many of which are focused on fulfilling promises he made during his campaign.

LOL. Seems totally opposite from what the left are saying.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

If Trump were having cocaine parties at the WH falling down at pressers and Vance swimming naked in the VP pool, we'd still be on a better track--- oh wait, Biden already did all that.

The difference being magaturds would forgive the orange bag O' shit for all that, because they're double-standard flaming hypocrites.

No new information here.

That’s a fantasy.

1. Taxes are not being "cut" by $trillions, they are staying the same, so the $5.5T in Revenue also stays the same
2. Entitlements (SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare) are also the same, except for the $billions being cut for Fraud
3. Defense spending will be cut by 8% a year for the rest of Trump's term.
4. If the Fed cuts interest rates a few times that $1T in interest should be reduced a few percent.

True that Trump may not bring the $36T debt down, but to stop borrowing, flatten this curve, is a huge win.

1. So he’s not cutting taxes on overtime, social security, tips? He alluded to lots of other tax cuts too but never spelled it out.

2. There’s been zero fraud cut.

3. Or not.

House narrowly passes budget resolution containing $100B for defense

The House on Tuesday narrowly adopted a budget blueprint that would invest an additional $100 billion in defense in the next decade as part of a sweeping Republican plan to enact President Donald Trump’s economic agenda.

4. You want inflation? That’s how you get inflation. Either way, he can’t control it.

His math does not work. It’s a fantasy.

1. So he’s not cutting taxes on overtime, social security, tips? He alluded to lots of other tax cuts too but never spelled it out.

True, but he also gets revenue from Tariffs. I have not seen how the math works out yet.

2. There’s been zero fraud cut.

DOGE has $374b going to Podesta, $2b to Stacy Abrams, and $20b in the EPA for starters, not to mention USAID, Treasury, SS, Medicare, Welfare, Medicaid, ED, etc.

3. Or not. You want inflation? That’s how you get inflation. Either way, he can’t control it.

$100b in a decade is $10b a year. A rounding error. DOGE should cover that easily.

4. His math does not work. It’s a fantasy.

Too early to tell. But your point is well taken.

There is no math because no one has any idea if we are going to actually have tariffs or not.

DOGE has $374b going to Podesta, $2b to Stacy Abrams, and $20b in the EPA for starters, not to mention USAID, Treasury, SS, Medicare, Welfare, Medicaid, ED, etc.

Gibberish. Not to mention this funding isn’t even in the baseline budget, it was passed years ago.

$100b in a decade is $10b a year. A rounding error. DOGE should cover that easily.

That’s $10 billion on top of current spending. A far cry from the 8% cut you suggested.

Too early to tell. But your point is well taken.

It’s a fantasy.

We could ask them what is there exit strategy in this trade war between US top 4 trading partners specifically and on certain commodes like Steel and Aluminium which is used in their manufacturing industry...

https://www.wsj.com/opinion/donald-trump-tariffs-25-percent-mexico-canada-trade-economy-84476fb2

It is becoming clear that Trump hasn't a clue what tariff are and what they do to an economy...

What is US exit strategy from this trade war?
US is becoming an untrusted trading partner to deal with, not because of US Business but by a guy who knows very little about the consequences of tariffs and a GOP Congress who are scared of him.

The main problem is that Trump doesn't understand that this type of instability crucifies businesses..
