New Inflation Data Is Worse Than You Think

[Billiejeens]

Food and energy costs are down wages are up, taxes have been cut. tariffs will bring in over 4 trillion in 4 years enough to pay off the deficit. So where is the problem

President Trump is behind it.

Intelligent people take President Trump seriously, but not literally

Dems - take him literally but not seriously.

Words have meaning and Trump does not have the best words

In what world are you living?
Those tariffs are being paid on the backs of US consumers

They are? What evidence do you have of that? Maybe you mean they will be, which is pure conjecture.

Manufacturers must sell buyers dont have to buy. That brings prices down. Food and energy costs are down. Wages are up.

Didn't you loons say that in January? Stop crying wolf. None of the loony liberal predictions have come to pass.

Actually, most of them have. He's using the DoJ as a tool for retribution, the tariff chaos has alienated allies, we are on the cusp of more tariff related inflation than we've already seen, he promised not to screw people on Medicaid but did it anyway, he is using the office to corruptly amass personal wealth, he failed to end the war in Ukraine, his cabinet has shown itself to be a collection of unqualified clowns, he still doesn't understand how tariffs work, he has claimed presidential powers that don't exist, he is irreversibly harming the environment for the sake of corporate profits, he is attempting to turn the US in to an autocracy........pretty much all the predictions have come true.

That and like all leftists you are butthurt as **** were better with Trump in all categories.

Current US Inflation Rates: 2000-2025 Current US Inflation Rates: 2000-2025

Idiocracy can't stand the truth.

Tariffs are going to raise prices by 10 to 16%.

So far it hasnt happened and yo can simply not buy. Wages are up taxes have been cut so a small increase means nothing. Tariffs will eliminate the deficit which saves us money

Core inflation rose at an annualized rate of 3.1% in July, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Tuesday, as President Donald Trump's nonsensical tariffs led to rising prices for American consumers. The current topline figure is 2.7% This is .2 percentage points higher than the previous month’s figure.

That 3.1% annualized rate is the fastest rising inflation rate in five months, and higher than the 2.9% annualized rate BLS clocked in July 2024, according to The New York Times.

"For two years inflation was declining toward the [Federal Reserve Bank’s] target. That seems to be over," University of Michigan economics professor Justin Wolfers wrote in a post on X.

Economists agree.

"Trump was handed a stable economy. I expected them to screw up either the labor market, prices, or growth. I didn't expect them to fumble all three," Mike Konczal, senior director of policy and research at the Economic Security Project, wrote in a post on X.

The only reason Trump beat Harris by a measley 1 1/2 points was because of higher prices and inflation. You know, the things he said he would bring down on day one. This hurts his voters in red rural districts the most. Not only has he made life more unaffordable for them, but his big billionaire bill is closing hospitals in those districts, and they are losing health care benefits. And his tariffs are the highest tax increase on them since the McKinnley administration, only making it worse.

This is not going to go over well in the elections for Republicans. Who are just hanging themselves by making excuses for Taco Pedo at townhalls they're getting booed out of.

Its worse for sure.

The fact that President Trump is resolving the inflation problem has to have them shitting bricks.

Tariffs will eliminate the deficit

No they won't. Not even close. Real wages are not growing and higher consumer prices from tariffs will eat into the benefits from the budget busting tax cut.
