    Now let's be fair to Trumpflation Watch.

    By raising taxes on 95% of households, that will absolutely shave 10-20 bps or so off of inflation

    why haven't you?

    Among the most popular compaign promises was his pledge to bring down the costs groceries on day one of his second term.

    During a speech in August in North Carolina, Trump told voters: “From the day I take the oath of office, we will rapidly drive prices down and make America affordable again.”

    Groceries are going higher bcz of migrants not showing up to work cus they don't wanna get deported. Trumps actions are directly leading to higher prices. This wasn't the case with biden but the opposite.

    You people are so braindead and just dumb

    So you are claiming that grocery prices went down under Biden because illegals showed up to work since they wouldn't get deported?

    We have close to a million undocumented agriculture workers in FL/CA that make less than minimum wage. When you go to bakersfield and central CA its filled with nothing but undocumented migrants working the land there.

    Those same workers arent showing up to work and farms arent meeting quotas.

    So are you cool with immigrants getting poverty wages to keep your grocery prices down? (I'm talking Americans at large not you specifically)
    Because if they stay and get the wage they deserve, prices too will go up as well.
    This is the conflict, be a humanitarian and pay more at checkout, or continue exploiting hard working folks so we can get a head of lettuce for $1.79.
    this will be as much of an issue moving forward as anything to do with immigration.

    I am not in favor of mass deportation but support anyone in this country getting fair wages for a day's work.
    Either way it's going to cost ALL OF US.

    Yes, I , and you for your entire life, are cool with our current system of farm labor as are most Americans, may be 95%. In fact your entire lifestyle is molded around global labor being paid pennies. Would I mind if workers organized & got higher wages? Not at all. We should have a pro labor president who encourages that. In fact so should other countries. We need more worker power globally not less.

    Do I want the nation's entire food supply chain to collapse in the short term because a bunch of ****in idiots didn't realize this was a foreseeable consequence of their bullshit?

    No and neither did you dumbass.

    No, I'm not, but that is almost a universal problem. If we ever want to truly stop illegal migration, fighting the root cause is the only way. Unfortunately, eliminating government corruption and poverty on a worldwide scale is impossible. When it comes to Tariffs, the only good reason for them should be due to fair labor. Entities that do not use fair labor, should not be able to freely compete with those that do have fair labor.

    (Bloomberg) -- US consumer confidence unexpectedly fell in January to a four-month low on less optimism about the labor market and the outlook for the broader economy.
    Where's my STAGFLATION calls at?

    One thing that could Trump Trumpflation would be the Trumpcession he is trying to cause.

    So you agree with me.

    But yet you call me a dumb ass.

    I think you perceive me as some MAGA dude.

    Did you even really read my post.

    I have never had beef with you, so I'm kind of wondering where this vitriol is coming from.

    That is why Sam was the first person I ever put on ignore. He isn't on the list anymore, but he's still a total dick.

    I mean I don't think I have ever engaged with him.
    But to basically restate what I stated and then call me a name is just kind of weird.

    I think many on here see the avatar and associate with right or left, and regardless of what is posted the preconceived notion of the person being on the other "team". It's time to pounce or demean.

    I suspect I might be one of the most split folks on this board. Like some dem stuff, like some Republican stuff.
    I have also noticed when a person posts something non-controversial it fades into the background very quickly.
    Conflict and one upmanship rules the day in these here parts.
    I look for solving issues moving forward. Not throwing stuff in peoples face.
    Not one person on here completely agrees with any other. We all have topics we feel strongly about, and thats great. But why not disagree in an adult type of fashion.

    Just some strange behavior on this forum.

    Dumbest cult of all time @Tomstro
