Trump says he will drive prices down

[Crepitus]

You don't pay attention. Trump has said at various times that US energy production is a key factor in reducing inflationary pressures.

We are producing more energy than ever before, so I think we can disregard that as any sort of real solution.

wanna try again?

I think we can disregard your ignorance as anything but willful. The leftist war on fossil fuels has crushed exploration for new oil snd gas.

Can’t have gas stoves running around, ya’ know.

Wanna try for a coherent argument?

 

[Crepitus]

The leftist war on fossil fuels has crushed exploration for new oil snd gas.

You seem to be completely delusional.

We are pumping record levels of oil and gas. We are drilling for more than ever as well.

That's the reality of the situation.

In a major anti-inflation speech in a campaign rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Trump said > "Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down, and we will make America affordable again,"

This is a good sentiment, but what does it mean ? And which prices is he referring to ? Gas prices, food, and housing rents have all doubled during the Biden administration. The housing rents are especially troubling, since they constitute the largest loss to renters and small businesses.

Trump needs to clarify his position, and tell us what he specifically intends to do.

Any one paying attention knows that all Trump has to do is unleash our oil industry. That would cause lower gas prices, lower transportation costs which would cause lower food prices etc. Along with that he could kill anything sucking money for Green shit.

 

[protectionist]

Well, we already know what Democrats want to do. They are responsible for the highest levels of inflation since another Democrat, Jimmy Carter.

I'd say Biden's inflation (especially in housing rent) has ben higher than ANY US president in my lifetime (I'm 78). I've never seen rents jump so much so fast. Never.

That's NOW as an election is drawing closer. But previously, Biden cancelled drilling in Alaska & the Gulf of Mexico. His production numbers were relatively minimal, and the economy tanked.

I think some amount of rent control (and rollbacks) might be needed to "drive prices down" in the housing rent sector.

No, that's been for most of the last few years.

Adding 20% tariffs will bring prices down.
Consumers will be forced to buy US goods and the US manufacturers will raise their prices.

You should watch his full presentation. He just starts to rant after 20 minutes. It was great.

Good for him.

Well, they've had 3.5 years to bring prices down, and they're still rising. Doesnt inspire much confidence.

How Food Prices Have Changed Over the Past Four Years​

Grocery prices are no longer rising as rapidly, but food inflation remains a top issue for voters, polls show.


As far as prices the government can help control??? Where do you get your information?

The time to talk about a "PLAN" was October 2020, not September 2024. The fact that they're talking about this now, shows that THEY DIDNT DO IT for 3.5 years, that they alone had the opportunity, that no one else had.
Get it ?

The American people are fed up with DO-NOTHING POLITICIANS, who suddenly come up with "PLAN" to do something, 7 weeks before the next election.

This administration is not a do-nothing admin. They caused the destruction of the economy.

Correct. The nothing they did was nothing worthwhile.

No it didn't.. when the ppb is high oil companies have money to invest in drilling and exploration.

The last stagnant period for oil production was during Dubya's presidency. Production increased 88% during the Obama administration and carried over for the Trump years. After 2020 (COVID) production has surged again.

Our oil producers are heroes.

Harris and xiden’s policy has been to do jusr that, hence why we have massively high gas prices under their admin
