Persactly, especially the last part. The Big Beautiful Bill vastly increased the deficit, that is why 10 year Treasuries have increased. A fed rate cut at this point would probably cause the Treasury rate to increase further. It would certainly fan inflation.
When you see these reports no one reads the technical notes.
Private wages and salaries increased $77.5 billion, reflecting increases of $77.4 billion in services producing industries and $0.2 billion in goods-producing industries. Government wages and salaries increased $5.1 billion.
The increase in wages came almost completely from service industries, something that could have been predicted by the jobs report we got at the first of the month. There was almost no increase in wages in goods-producing industries, you know, like manufacturing. When are those promised jobs going to show up? And government wages and salaries increased, WTF? Just what did DOGE do anyway?
And his graph is misleading. He cuts out the Biden years, where the inflation rate went over 9% - the highest in 40 years.

OK. So what is the Democrat plan as an alternative? Please say it is something new besides demonizing and punishing all of the corporations for price hikes. Your side tried that one in the last election after we saw the largest price hikes in 50 years.To anyone that wants to claim Trump has brought down inflation, this graph should help dissuade you.

There's no difference. Inflation hasn't changed meaningfully.

Data shows that a significant proportion for inflation was caused by increased profit margins by US corporations. It's not demonization to point out factual information.
That being said, Trump is definitely demonizing corporations who raise prices.

Greedflation at the Supermarket is Real — Food & Power
The FTC published a report confirming what many suspected about the role of profiteering in driving up food prices and aggravating shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic.

That’s Demand-Pull Inflation. While producers and suppliers are going to naturally try to maximize profits, price controls and increased regulation are only going to exacerbate the problem ultimately with more demand and less supply and increase barriers for other suppliers to enter the market.Greedflation at the Supermarket is Real — Food & Power

You haven’t made an argument or justification for the Democrat approach. Simply stated, they need to back off their OverRegulatory reaction.

Steady as she goes....Hardly the gloom-n-doom the leftists like yourself predicted.
Trump groupies need to join with most Americans in honestly recognizing the blowhard's impotence to deal with inflation - as is the case with Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Gaze.

Prices are still about the same here from when he took office. Can't tell you about some things like eggs just simply because I haven't bought any. I do remember however democrats were denying any kind of recession and tried to gaslight people. And then the moment Trump took office they were trying to demand action and saying he wasn't doing anything about the prices. That's why in threads like this I have no problem being honest about how things are under Trump, but I don't listen to or care about what democrats have to say either because they have displayed repeatedly just how dishonest and duplicitous they really are.

1. Biden's inflation, costing US families $11,400 a year is tracking toward 2%. Trump is helping families by lowering the cost of energy and groceries.
Americans need an extra $11,400 today just to afford the basics, Republican analysis finds
Compared with 2021, the typical household must spend an additional $11,434 annually just to maintain their standard of living, analysis shows.

2. Russia and Ukraine can't end the war until countries stop buying Russian energy. Its not a US issue, its more of an EU issue.
3. Israel and Hamas have been at each others throats for thousands of years, there is never going to be a peace deal.

Trump's inflation pales in comparison to the 9.1% Bidenflation, which cost US families $11,400 a year, so where was your criticism of Biden's inflation? It wasn't, because you're a partisan hack.
