    Like I said you don't gotta wait till Christmas - go buy some ground beef & ask yourself if Trump is delivering or is - doing the opposite of delivering! - on his "gro-CER-yy" pledge.

    Just like budget deficits this doesn’t matter when a Republican is POTUS.

    Well there you go -- the expert on inflation, the MANAGER at Trader Joe's! Disregard the actual data showing very low inflation -- let's talk to a guy making $20/hour at a low-end grocery store!

    Whenever Democrats try to manufacture a story, like Trump being responsible for the runaway inflation that Biden caused for years, it's just so obvious to everyone except liberals that the Democrats are trying to gaslight and rewrite the story. I smelled it on Russian collusion from day one of Jake Sullivan's lies... I smelled it on the Hunter Biden laptop.... smelled it on COVID's origins... and as a young man, I smelled it on Bill Clinton's finger wagging about Monica Lewinsky! Liberals don't have that ability to smell BS. It's a blindspot. And it's why they run ads with Chuck Schumer grilling and Elizabeth Warren drinking beer... they are simply tone deaf. No one in their right mind thinks Trump caused food inflation.


    GOOD DAY

    Yea, its slowly creeping in everywhere I look. A maga colleague says we have to do this so we can bring those jobs home LOL..........he still thinks were all getting checks from the dodge cuts LOL.

    I still see people who dont get how tarrifs work and since my company deals with MANY countries I can sum it up real easy

    When company X buys 1000.00 of product from China, the Chinese firm makes it, puts it in a boat and ships it. It comes to the Port of Houston, they send a notice to the Company of Record (which is us) and we pay the shipping fee and the TARRIF right there n the spot, we then bake that cost into COGS and pass that on to our customer. If the Tarriff was 9%, we pay the 9% upfront and then disperse it to our customers...................We do NOT eat any of it. What this does to the origin MFG is I may have customers who will not put up with a price hike so I simply do not order from that vendor again and they go out of business

    We send out NEW updates weekly...................our sales are down, go figure.

    ANOTHER low inflation print today -- 2.7% is a fantastic number and well under the 9.0% inflation that Biden gave us. Food and energy inflation was lower than the averages. Liberals' scare lines just aren't working. Trump continues to deliver on campaign promises. Liberals punching air again.

    Stock market loving the low inflation numbers.

    GOOD DAY

    Inflation Held Steady at 2.7% in July
    Consumer prices were up 2.7% in July from a year earlier, the Labor Department said Tuesday, holding steady with June’s gain of 2.7%.

    That was below the 2.8% rise expected by economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal.

    Prices excluding food and energy categories — the so-called core measure economists watch in an effort to better capture inflation’s underlying trend — rose 3.1%, above forecasts for a 3% increase.
