Wow, Now Even CBS Is Realizing There Is No Inflation From Tariffs

[AntonToo]

um, it was 3.0% CPI in Jan, so, you know it's lower now, right?

Aaaaand? Whats your point?

Trump needed to do exactly nothing for inflation to drop, and it in fact dropped into low 2.x by April and now has been going up, up and up despite cheaper oil because guess what, Trump has been making imported things more expensive.

 

[Hollie]

That's bad when even CBS is forced to acknowledge the truth. But, lefties take heart, inflation is still right around the corner. Any day now.

Like so much of the angry, self loathing left. CBS wanted nothing more than to see Americans suffer as a soothing balm for their hatred of the US and for Trump.

That being lower, is heading in the right direction

Why would you want them to be higher then they were when he took office?

 

[struth]

Just like a sales tax, except its at the federal level.

No, it's more like a Federal Corp tax rate, but it's only on certain products. The Federal Govt doesn't hit the business with it, unless they purchase from foreign nations subject to it.

That being lower, is heading in the right direction

It's been heading in the wrong direction since Trump implemented broad tariffs.

What it was BEFORE actual policy is not relavant to estblishing policy effects and the only reason why you bring it up is because you don't like that simple fact.

That being lower, is heading in the right direction

It's been heading in the wrong direction since Trump implemented broad tariffs and is cited by the Fed who is keeping up interest rates.

It's plain English, why don't you get it?

Not it hasn’t he stated with tariffs as far back as Feb 1

Since Trump has take office he has lowered inflation from when he inherited it and keep lower

Because you are wrong, I posted a link showing you were wrong

It’s in English

Powell said that tariffs are pushing inflation. Clear as day.

But the rubes have been told that Powell is an evil commie who hates America, so he must have been lying.

Excuse me if I dismiss the ramblings of someone who can’t add 15 and 15.

 

[Nostra]

Trump is forcing me not to buy them dummy.

Thanks Trump, what a great gift.

Tariffs only hurt the poor, right?

You clowns told us.

So, are you poor, or a liar?

 

[Nostra]

It's 2.7% CPI and 3.1% for commodities minus food and energy in July, all up since April and heading in the wrong direction.

Food and energy went down. Ya know, the things working folks care about.

I doubt any working folks are worried about mid-end watches.

Lies.

Inflation has gone down under Trump, so how has it gone UP, UP, AND UP?

You clowns suck at numbers.

It's a fee, similar but not the same.

Its a nonvoluntary payment.

 

[Nostra]

Its a nonvoluntary payment.

Nope. You don’t have to buy goods imported from a country with tariffs, Stupid.

 

[jknowgood]

Trump has made it much more expensive, which is a bad thing for me, the consumer.

Do you get that part dummy?

Actually the EU made it more expensive, if they did away with the tariffs on our goods. We wouldn't have tariffs on theirs. Do you always hate America?

 

[Zincwarrior]

Nope. You don’t have to buy goods imported from a country with tariffs, Stupid.

Same as a sales tax.

Where is coffee grown in the US?

 

[Nostra]

Same as a sales tax.

Where is coffee grown in the US?

Someone holding a gun to your head forcing you to buy coffee?

 

[Zincwarrior]

Someone holding a gun to your head forcing you to buy coffee?

Yes, my wife.

Are you now arguing sales taxes don't exist?

 

[Nostra]

Yes, my wife.

Are you now arguing sales taxes don't exist?

That’s your problem, Cuck.
