Wall Street Journal: Trump Policies Will Increase Deficit/ Inflation

[AzogtheDefiler]

I know how it is now.

2.3%

You do understand how low that is right, financial wizard?

And you do understand that the Wall Street Journal has said that the economists they talked to say that Harris’s policies will be far less inflationary than those of Trump… right?

2.3% but what was the aggregate under Trump and under Biden/Harris and it’s still above the 2% target. This is after prices have been jacked up.

Inflation in the past doesn’t matter now.

What matters is, what is it now and what will it be going forward

It is low now and economists say it will be a bunch higher if Trump wins

 

[jbander]

Prostitution, drug dealing, and theft are not tax paying or contributing members of society.

So exactly what jobs are illegal aliens getting?

So your not even serious , your just a hate Nazi. and saying stupid stuff to get a rise. You are a person who begs to be ignored. So I will you are gone. You simply no longer exist in my world.

Of course it matters. Prices are still jacked up. It’s like saying, hey the criminal robbed 20 stores but it’s in the past so it doesn’t matter now. Damage is done and Trump will fix it. His policies are pragmatic. Harris wants to increase taxes on corporations aka letting Trump tax cuts expire. You don’t see that as inflationary? Are you feeling OK?

Bullshit.

What matters with regards to inflation is where it is now and where it will be in the future.

You can’t change past inflation

And Trump’s policies going forward are inflationary

“You can’t change past inflation”

What a stupid comment. Harris said she would raise corporate taxes. She will let the Trump tax cuts expire. This is indisputable and this will 100% cause higher levels of inflation. You cannot dispute this. You do not understand basic economics and finance.

Not according to the WSJ

Yes according to the WSJ. Do you read it daily? Again. Are you a human being? You don’t believe raising the corporate tax rate will be inflationary? Are you feeling OK?

And could cause a Recession

That’s the last thing we need

Add in Musk fucking around with our economy and things could go really wrong really quickly

The WSJ says that the Harris policies could have a small inflationary effect

But that the Trump policies would have a LARGE inflationary effect

Dang, what kinda BS is that? It certainly does matter.

Why does previous inflation matter?

What can you do about it?

Are we verklempt about the 10% inflation we had under Reagan?

Nope

Let me try to keep it simple for you simple minded folks. Let's say a coat used to cost $50, then with Biden/Harris 20% previous inflation, that coat now costs $60. With current inflation of about 2.4% that $50 coat will now cost you about $61.44.

Ok. And what do you think can be done about it?

Put tariffs on a replacement coat?

Will that negate inflation that occurred three years ago?

No? It will ADD to the cost of that coat?

Oh…

Tariffs would allow profits from that $61 coat to go into American pockets, not Chinese pockets. Damn, is all this new to you?

So you buy that coat (made more expensive by the Trump tariff) and you get a rebate
No?

And what does any of that have to do with previous inflation?

With 32T deficit and the petro$$ becoming the BRIC$$ there is little to deter the impending crash

~S~

 

[krichton]

Even Elon admitted that Americans would suffer under Trump. He said so out loud and to everyone. Don't believe your lying eyes and ears folks!

 

[krichton]

Well Scamala’s policies put us in current state

How so? She's not president and doesn't make policy, but even if she did, that would have given us the best economy in the world right now.
