    Whoever gets debt to gdp down lowers inflation. It doesn't matter what conservatives or democrat voters believe.

    I'd say the scam was the promised cheaper cost of living, supporting the middle class, and propaganda spewed to make people fear certain threats that didn't really exist.

    The true agenda was to lower taxes and regs for himself and his corporate billionaires to reap in all the profits for themselves, off the salaries of the middle class workers they fire, cut benefits from, or make work harder and longer in a more unsafe workspace, and the taxes they pose on other nations paid for by the rest of Americans.

    Egg prices still haven't gone down but Trump can always blame Obama or biden for that instead of doing what he actually promised

    publicizing your willful ignorance again !

    post WW2, the highest inflation rates (averaging in the mid-single digit) occurred during the Nixon / Ford / Carter terms

    their respective debt to GDP ratios were much lower than the GWB / Obama / Trump 1.0 / Biden years, which had much lower inflaition rates that were
    averaging in the low to mid single digit, it is now just above 3%

    You're always wrong.

    You can't line up history and match it up today expecting the same exact results. This is why you're a terrible trader.

    So much for keeping the prices down. Inflation was already. a problem. The poor are going to be hit hard. Europe and pretty much everyone will be having tariffs on.

    Honda has decided to produce its next-generation Civic hybrid in the U.S. state of Indiana, instead of Mexico, to avoid potential tariffs on one of its top-selling car models, according to three people familiar with the matter.
    The change underscores how manufacturers are scrambling to adapt to U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada. While several automakers have expressed concerns about the levies, Honda’s move is the first concrete measure by a major Japanese car company.

    Good for the workers, not good for consumers as that will also increase prices as the cost of manufacturing here will drive prices up.

    Yep just saw that

    I guess he wasn't bluffing. If he continues on this path, I'm voting democrat in '28. Especially if JD will be the one representing the Republicans.

    Its hard to support their actions rn.
