The inflation that we have had over the last 4 years isn't because of Trump's proposed tariffs, the inflation we have had is because of money printed at the Federal Reserve to fund deficit spending. [/quote]

Puzzle pieces missing. Tarriff...Tax? No difference. Funny how the voting public rallies around one but chastises the other. What matters is where the proceeds go. In the pockets of millionaires? Deficit? Social programs? I don't trust Trump. I see him and his cronies getting a big windfall one way or another if more tariffs are implemented.
One thing not mentioned is we had a pandemic in 2020 that killed over 3 million people, caused supply issues, and shut down the world for a period of time. The relief spending came to assist a recovery. Know one knows what would have happend without that cash infusion. It was the major cause of the inflation. Econ 101, Supply and Demand. I know lots of people and business owners that took that cash that didn't need to. Trump won because everything costs more and the Dems caught the blame. Prices may fall a little but the price increases are here to stay. Not even Trump can produce pre pandemic prices. People are such idiots to think so. One thing it did do, is artificially inflate the stock market to the point where we are at today. Mark my words, a stock market correction is looming and Trump will get the blame if he is in office, even though he had nothing to do with it. If you haven't already, one should consider reaping the market gains since 08 and moving investments. I have. Time to end this discussion and go fish for something!
