Trump policies didn't kick it up at all for his four years and yet the economy was booming, historic lows for unemployment in almost all demographics, millions who hadn't had a decent job for years due to Obama policies could work at good full time jobs with benefits again.

He's proposing little that is different this time. No reason to think inflation will be a problem.

Trump didn’t deport all the illegal immigrants in his first term like he said he would. He also didn’t put massive tariffs on everyone like he said he would.

It didn’t go up in his first term because he didn’t fulfill his campaign promises.

Fuckin wut?

A. Dumping that 5 trillion into the economy (half of it late in 2020) certainly added to inflation the next year as that money made it’s way through the economy

And as far as Trump’s future policies we have actual economists saying they WILL cause inflation and that noted “economist” YOU saying they won’t…

So..

Trump did not do that. Far more Democrats contributed to that bill than Republicans padding it with all manner of pork and grift. And because almost all the money had been taken out of the economy by the lockdown, that money that actually addressed COVID just kept people afloat so they didn't starve and hopefully allowed some to keep their businesses. Trump had no choice to sign the legislation that was about as 'porky' as any legislation can be.

Trump signed those bills jackass

I’m not complaining. It was necessary… but it sure as hell contributed to the inflation you’re bitching about

 

[Foxfyre]

Trump signed those bills jackass

I'm pretty sure I said he did. Had he not he would have caused great suffering among the people he was sworn to protect. He also strongly opposed all the insane pork stuffed into it but Schumer and Pelosi wouldn't give him the legislation without it.

So who is the villain here. Hmm?

He will though.
However the Biden policies only make imports cheaper for a limited time. Without the manufacturing jobs nobody will eventually be able to afford anything. Strong dollar policies are only a short term solution.

Weak dollar policies make exports possible. Also domestic industrial jobs rise. Strong dollar policies give rise to cheap imports and dependencies on other nations for our needs. But our exports too expensive for other nations to purchase.

So....
When Trump switches us to a weak dollar policies there's going to be a period where things climb higher in price. It won't be until afterwards that the labor market will tighten so much that we will be able to afford things again.

Quick question. At the end of Trump’s term, were there any illegal aliens in the US?

Factually, "Gas stations make an average of $0.05 to $0.15 per gallon. Stations earn money selling gas, but their bigger profits come from convenience stores and car washes".

NOT EVEN CLOSE!!
The inflation rate in the United States in 2019 was 1.81%. This was a 0.63% decrease from 2018.
The average annual inflation rate in the United States from 1989 to 2019 was 2.5%. The Federal Open Market Committee, which is part of the U.S. central bank, aims for a 2% inflation rate over time.
The inflation rate in the United States has increased in recent years, from 3.2% in 2011 to 8.3% in 2022. This means that the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has weakened.
