Trump Continues to Lie About Tariff Revenue

[AntonToo]

No one said "all democrats", that any celebrated shows how sick the amoral democrats are.

Is that a special carve out you have in your head for Democrats or do you also blame all of Republicans for Trump's and some other rightwingers degenerate comments about the recent murder?

Intellectual consistency - got any?

 

[BrokeLoser]

Americans don't need tariffs (and increased inflation that comes with them) to have our government spend our tax dollars on investments in America.

For years libs have told us we need higher taxes…I though you said tariffs were a tax?

We don't need REGRESSIVE import taxes that disproportionally burden the lower income people to make up for tax-cuts to PROGRESSIVE (federal income tax).

For years you haven't been listening.

 

[Blaster]

Inflation continues to decrease.

A consumption tax is progressive as hell…What about all that “FAIR SHARE” bullshit you’ve screeched for years?

Who consumes larger share of their income on necessities - poor people or rich people?

If you know the correct answer to this question you know why you are full of crap.

Consumption tax benefits those that save and invest, which is primarily people with higher incomes who can afford to do that.

Last night he once again said drug prices were coming down by 600%.

Truly the most pathetic part of him saying that is none of his aids have the courage to explain it to him, they just keep letting him make a fool out of himself instead.

He needs professional help.

Stocks jumped Thursday, snapping a recent losing streak, following an encouraging readout on inflation.
The delayed consumer-price index for November showed prices rose 2.7% in the past 12 months, slowing from a 3% rate in September and considerably below consensus forecasts.

Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected a 3.1% rate.

Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the core rate stood at 2.6%, also slower than expected.

That was the lowest core inflation since early 2021, before a pandemic-era spike that took this rate above 6%.
However, economists cautioned against reading too much into the report due to gaps in data collection during the government shutdown. The stoppage meant there was no October CPI report.
The Nasdaq composite led gains, rising more than 1%. The dollar slipped and Treasury yields held losses. Shares in Nvidia and other artificial-intelligence-linked companies rose after Micron said it expects demand from AI developers to boost growth. The memory-chip stock surged.

What happened to the terrible tariffs

Would be good if true. There is not a lot confidence that the report is representative of reality due to shutdown distortions.

The shutdown made it impossible for Labor Department workers to collect some of the data they normally would have to compile the report on the consumer-price index. Even before the release, economists cautioned that workarounds that the agency used to deal with the collection issues may have biased the November figure downward, causing inflation to be understated.

Another brain fart, I guess you just can't help it.

Distorted reporting is never better and if inflation is understated then that means it's actually higher than reported.

If that's the case, then next month's data is highly likely to show a sudden jump in inflation.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

All of that happened over the last year.

Prices are up. New job growth is slowing to a crawl. The Fed had to lower the interest rates to keep the US from going into a recession.

I bet you believed Trump last night when he said he brought down the prices of new cars.

Prices have been coming down all year, WTF are you talking about.

 

[Norm Paperman]

Prices have been coming down all year, WTF are you talking about.

A few random products have come down, prices over all have not.

That is why inflation is still in the positive range.

You’re confused…the more one consumes the more tax one pays…there’s nothing more “FAIR” than that.
You do still care about what’s fair…right?

Severe case of TDS - literally living in an alternate reality.

 

[Blaster]

Inflation drops to 2.7%. Thank you President Trump.
