    Inflation for all goods is mild and at healthy levels. Can’t unwind the massive damage that Biden did to grocery costs… without seeing economy-killing deflation. But many of the Biden surge inflation items (eggs) have seen nice reductions to price.


    GOOD DAY

    I fear that the reality of the situation the nation finds it itself in is setting in and leaving you with little of your admirable fervor, making your recent posting historically mild.

    Historic manufacturing investment pouting into the US due to tariff negotiations

    Foreign markets open to receiving American goods due to tariff negotiations

    Stock market at ALL TIME HIGH, which will stimulate wealth effect purchasing by consumers

    Access to growth capital like never before in history

    Robust GDP growth

    Historically mild inflation (anyone can cherry-pick outliers (low grade debating), but the overall data speaks far better)

    Taxes cut (tips, overtime, income)

    Interest rates headed down.


    If you're not thriving in this GOLDEN AGE market, then work on yourself, kings.

    I don't even look at the bill at the grocery store. But if I did, I would notice that the runaway inflation caused by Biden has now moderated and is back to a healthy, mild level (2-3% annually). This inflation rate pencils out to 4 cents per year of price increase for a 5.9oz box of Hamburger Helper. Yes, four cents per year.


    GOOD DAY

    El_Conquistador is reduced to doing his own shopping at the grocery store? What of the hired help who otherwise would be toiling in the maquiladora??

    spearheaded by Biden;s policies
    • infrastructure bill
      • bailing out Trump 1.0;s empty promise
    • chip act
    • Inflation Reduction Act

    on the other end of the spectrum, Trump's tariff negotiations have led to more TACO, Trump Chickening Out moves.

    Liberals created both crises that tanked jobs at the end of W Bush's term (housing crisis -- Dems not paying mortgages) and COVID during Trump's term (Dems shut down blue states over a flu-like virus). Biden spent money we didn't have -- hiring illegals and government jobs... and ran up the deficits which caused inflation. What a dishonest graph. A grade school student could realize how dishonest that graph is!

    Their Cheeseburger Macaroni was a "quick and easy" staple for mom to cook when we were kids. Did it again in college a few times, and it still wasn't bad. Haven't had it since.

    Ive come to conclusion that the only thing to do is completely ignore him. It wont matter if you expose his lies cuz he'll do it again tomorrow. He has no dignity left. I havnt responded to him in weeks . The only thing he knows what to do is lie non stop.

    Stop responding back to him. Let him rant

    Trump has the lowest economic approval ratings in recent history. Lower than those of biden at his worst. This is before 20 million people get kicked off their healthcare next year
