GDP at 4.4% and inflation at 1.21% is a really good economy. To my liberal friends you can b#tch and complain all you want, but can MAGA stay in charge and run the economy and border? Please and thank you. @sharinincarmel the only thing that Murt guy got wrong was tariffs. He for some reason thought they were inflationary. If you ever run into him drinking tinis, please remind him tariffs aren't inflationary.
It's all going to Nipsco. Great I saved .20 on a gallon of gas but my home heating bill went up 50%. Lucky me!!
@mrhighlife People with good jobs at big companies are getting rich killing it and the poor and lower middle class are going under.

@twenty It's not 1989. How old are you? Get on the internet and learn something.
@snarlcakes That Murt must have really been something!!! I think he was right about tariffs being inflationary, but humor an old gal and let’s pretend you’re right, in practice all these tariffs are is a tax on US businesses. US companies are paying the tariffs not foreign companies. It would have been easier on the companies to just raise their taxes, as horrible as that sounds. These tariffs are no “win.”

Why are the tariffs no win? Inflation has dropped. Employment remains strong (especially considering the government job cuts and closing kid the border). GDP growth is robust. Productivity is up. Real wages are up. Deficit spending decreased because of them.
The reality is tariffs have been a successful policy. When data doesn't back up one's predictions, you don't double down on it. I thought tariffs would slow growth, I was wrong.
@snarlcakes Most business is small business. Trump thinks he’s hammering foreign countries. He’s not. He’s hammering American businesses. Foreign countries aren’t paying the tariffs. American companies are. So when he says oh yeah Canada how would you like to pay a 40 percent tariff?! He’s not saying that to Canada. He’s actually saying it to to any American company who imports hockey sticks from Canada. Tariffs are nothing more than new taxes on American businesses

Never said they weren't taxes and businesses would pay a lot of the tariff. The article says nothing substantial. By the way the Russell 2000 index is up 17% over the last year and over 50% since Trump's tariff day.
96 percent!
Trump acts like it’s some win every time he’s raising tariffs. It’s not. It’s just punishing American businesses.

Looks to be owned by the same guy who was the CEO of Bitcoin.com previously. I wonder where snarl found him...

Lol...I saw that already. It made the rounds. It's from a German think tank. You would think all the countries would shut the f#ck up if the U.S. is paying 96% of the tariffs 😉 I' ll go with the number is closer to 80%. America's economy and businesses aren't suffering. The opposite is happening.
Some businesses got their margins squeezed is what's happening. Yes, it sucks for them, but they're still doing better than 99% of other people on the planet.
By the way I'm down with cutting 50-70% of the federal taxes, but 95% of Americans aren't for that. They want all the shit. Weren't you complaining about Obamacare subsided going away? If you all want all the shit, this has been a very effective way to raise 300-400 billion in revenue for that shit.

@twenty Inflation has disappeared for Trump and his disciples. For those of us living in the real world, it's still there, it's at 2.7% and "uncomfortably high."
"To say the US has ‘virtually no inflation’ is factually incorrect and a classic Trump overstatement,” Thomas Ryan, a North America economist at Capital Economics, wrote in an e-mail.
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s, also told CNBC that inflation remains “uncomfortably high.”
“Inflation is especially problematic for lower and middle-income Americans, given the high inflation for many staples such as groceries, electricity, apparel, furniture, childcare, and healthcare,” Zandi wrote in an e-mail.
Ironically, Trump’s tariff policy is putting upward pressure on inflation and preventing the U.S. policymakers from claiming victory, economists said.
Trump says inflation was 'defeated.' Some economists disagree

Why would someone recognizing Bitcoin sooner than 99.9% of the population be someone you wouldn't want to listen to?
Also, this isn't difficult. All you have to do is follow it and see how accurate it is or isn't. It's been a good indicator of directionally where inflation is going. I'll take lower the next several months, you can take the opposite. Also, it tends to overshoot and undershoot inflation. I'll be surprised if CPI drops lower than 2% this year.
