Remember That "Affordability Crisis" Under Trump?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

If you want to believe so, I got no issue with your opinion, it is just an opinion.

A well argued opinion. Not all opinions are equal.

But I notice you reflexively made yourself a human shield for Trump, without even knowing the argument.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Excuse me? Did you hear Turkey prices DOUBLED this year but major grocery stores ate the price increase rather than **** us on Thanksgiving? Those Grocery Stores probably love Trump. They are trying their best to keep prices down.

Uh, no, I didn't hear that and I don't believe it. You probably need to be on an all-liquid diet anyway.

Polls change all the time. Wait until next year when tax refunds hit and the cuts kick in

Vast majority of Trumpers will see no benefit from the tax law changes.

I will though. But even my $30,000 tax cut is avoiding a tax increase. I will pay a similar tax to last year when the tax cuts were also in place.

Why?Because many of these favorable rate/deduction/credit provisions were already in place under TCJA and in effect before 2025, the law is mostly extending them; for many taxpayers, that means no big increase in benefits — they’re “just continuing.”

I’ve told you this before.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Uh, no, I didn't hear that and I don't believe it.

You also probably don't believe all the companies warning that they are hiking prices, either.

Because this stuff isn't shown to you, in your bubble.

Democrats had a four year total inflation rate of just under 20% while they were in charge.

You guys continue to give Trump a pass for mismanaging COVID, which helped create the high inflation

Oh now it's just wait. But in the meantime, Trump just admitted that he has jacked up the price of EVERYTHING. Last night he said "maybe this year you can only afford 3 dolls or pencils not 37 dolls or 37 pencils.

Tax refunds? LOL. You're counting on us all going out and blowing all our income tax return because we're so broke? So you want us to wait till what May or June?

Just wait till January. Prices are going up. Companies say they can no longer hold back on raising prices. The shit they stocked up on is gone and as much as corporations love Trump, they love making a profit more.

But don't worry. Trump will give you boomers a cost of living increase. But guys like me in our mid 50's you ******* boomers will probably cut my benefits 20%. So why do you keep giving yourselves cost of living increases knowing you're going to cut future generations benefits 20%? When you know the fund is going broke? **** you boomers.

'Tax Bomb' May Hit Thousands Of Americans In 2026​

The Trump administration has not extended a provision that has exempted canceled student debt under the Income-Driven Repayment federal program from being treated as taxable income for the past five years, meaning that some borrowers could soon see a huge spike in their tax bills

 

[Stryder50]

I guess that's why only 26% of Americans say the economy is doing well.

Most Americans continue to rate the U.S. economy negatively as partisan gap widens

Nearly three-in-four U.S. adults (74%) say economic conditions are only fair or poor, up slightly from 72% in January 2024.

www.pewresearch.org

Per your link, comparing January 2025 to January 2024 - The change in one year is from Biden's 72% to a supposed Trump's 74%.
Bigger question is why after three years of Biden was it at 72% ???

You always wonder what polling would be if the leftwing media didn't constantly drumbeat negativism about GOP economies. There is also the thing were people love to *****, especially among those who fail to take care of business.

Remember last year they bragged that prices didn't go up as much as we said they would? We explained that companies stockpiled before tariffs kicked in and when those things ran out and they had to buy more, prices would go up. And we explained that companies ate a lot of those tariffs last year but would not keep doing that. Either consumers are paying more or companies aren't making as much. Either way, Trump's a loser.

Anyways, just wanted to show that we were right.

Core wholesale prices rose 0.8% in January, much more than expected​

And they will keep going up. Companies aren't going to jack up their prices 15% on January 1. They will do it slowly hoping we don't notice.

• The core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased a seasonally adjusted 0.8%, more than the 0.6% gain in December and well ahead of the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 0.3%.
• On an all-items basis, headline PPI rose 0.5%, also above the forecast for 0.3% and 0.1 percentage point more than the prior month.
• For the full year, core wholesale prices accelerated 3.6%, while the headline index posted a 2.9% gain.

Wholesale prices rose at a faster-than-expected pace in January, countering hopes that inflation was easing, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

You are such a dope. And, didn't you admit late last year you have so much money that you hardly even notice the price increases? So you're just a typical well to do liar.

Wow, so peopek getting their student debts forgiven might have to pay taxes on it?

Who knows what they're told in their separate news ecosystem. It's the greatest economy ever, everything is cheap now, high paying jobs are abundant, Trump has saved the country from Satan.

Whatever keeps 'em calm, I guess.

See what you clowns do? You exonerate yourself and blame Trump for COVID, even though he did an outstanding job. by:
1) Shutting down travel to and from China in January 2020, long before there were COVID deaths in the US (for which the left labeled him 'racist').
2) Pledging to get the vaccine before the end of 2020 which he accomplished (for which he was ridiculed by the left).

Meanwhile, against Trump's wishes, Democrats
1) shut down NY and CA for well over a year in an attempt to ruin the economy and tank Trump's reelection.
2) continued paying people sit home and smoke pot resulting in massive inflation and ruining the supply chain.
3) pushed through the CARES Act, which many Republicans opposed, that added a full $2 trillion to the debt (for which they magically blame Trump).
4) Propped up the failed 0bamacare with massive subsidies with ballooned the debt further (for which they blamed Trump).

No he did a horrible job. He hid from us how bad covid was. He didn't want it to hurt his economic numbers.

Then he mocked wearing masks, social distancing and getting vaccinated. He was and is a horrible leader. You sir live in bizzaro world.

And to top it off, he sent one of our life saving covid breathing machines that each one saved god knows how many lives to RUSSIA.

Trump secretly sent Putin COVID-19 tests during pandemic shortage, a new book reports​

This is the worst president in American history and you are just numb to it. If you could add up all the horrible horrible things he's done and all the lies, what the ****. And you love him. Weird. American voters are no better than Germans in 1939 I see.

Instead of listening to the leftwing 'economists' and their doom and gloom, I just look at my Schwab account. That keeps me pretty calm.
