But but but, what about the eggs? What about the tariffs?

Monthly report for March was released this morning.

Inflation slowed to 2.4% in the 12 months through March, as measured by the consumer-price index. That undershot the 2.6% forecast by economists polled by The Wall Street Journal.

Remember March of 2024? Xiden gave us a 3.5 percent rate.

Yeah, this was very good news.

Some are saying that inflation is still just around the corner, so we'll see. But if it doesn't hit, this gives the Fed the ability to cut rates for a slowing economy. It also decreases the chances of stagflation, which also has been a worry.

So, good stuff, fingers crossed.

So much for bringing prices down.

The US Consumer Price Index (CPI), a measure of inflation, rose 0.2% in April compared to the previous month

You know Trump's tariffs were going to cost each American an extra $5000. Now that Trump has renegotiated with China, you can rest easy. Prices are only going to go up $2500 now. You're welcome.

Are you better off now than you were last year? How so?

Things are getting WORSE!

LOL....They certainly are for your ilk. You're busted!

The dems will be at their wits end on that news.

How, the year ended in March, which means it is Biden's economy, according to Trump.

I managed to pick up a house worth 500k, so I am doing just fine.

You can't even argue back and show or tell me things are getting better. Cause you know that'd be a lie. That's never stopped you before.

You can't even tell us what we've won. Lower drug prices? When? Where? How?

Thank Trump

**** that boi. He didn't have shit to do with it.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Good news indeed.
Trumpy could sure use some right about now.
Too bad his tariffs are going to complete eff the economy up and blow inflation threw the roof.
Watch....

Waiting...

Biennial rent increases based on 2 year CPI 4/1/23 to 3/1/25. Increase is 7.3%. So about 3.65% per year. Not great but it isn't as terrible as it was.....Downward progress.

You know Trump is laying a ******* big old fat egg when a Republican's evidence that Trump isn't doing so bad is to tell us about the biennial rent increases not being as bad as they were during inflation.

No shit sherlock. But they are still going up. This is no bueno for the people who voted for Trump. He was going to lower their rent. I know how I'd do it. Trump should be doing it. But he's not. Instead he's doing things that are going to ultimately increase their rent.

I don't argue with idiots as it's a zero sum game.

Well didn't Trump back down? And it's looking like Trump ain't winning anything meaningful with China. Seems like all Trump is doing is getting us out of his own self inflicted mess.

And the markets don't like uncertainty. Trump is absolutely costing us all money in the stock market. I'm retiring in 7 years. I want my 401K to make as much as possible. I don't want it to go up 4 years under Biden and then lose everything I gained under Trump. Stock market was high when he first got in but it's lower today because of Trump's actions.

And please, tell us what we've won. We want all the details in this India and UK deal. Tell them what they've won Don Pardo.

 

[sealybobo]

Waiting...

I'm still waiting for the big announcement Trump told us was coming last week on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. If it was the prescription drug announcement, that's not even a done deal yet. Trump is playing us all.

$400 million dollar jet. HA!
