No you won’t. The previous round on inflation was from pandemic stimulus restructured the labor market of the bottom quartile significantly. It was hugely positive for poorer worker and people like you had a conniption fit.
We’ve already had inflation to protect lower class jobs and Trumpers blood pressure is still through the roof. At least the beauty of revealed preferences will show what you all really think if/when the serious tariffs hit.
The US printed like $14 TRILLION dollars in the last 5 years.
$7 eggs are "hugely positive for poorer worker"
You remain an idiot.
Again another person who overstates grocery inflation. More proof that economic sentiment surveys simply read out partisan affiliation.
Numbers don’t lie. The economy is quite strong.
Will Trump keep the growth going? Will he be able to lower prices as he promised?
I see a lot of excuses for Trump already but no backing him up. Do our resident Trumpers really have no faith in the guy they’ve been slobbering over for 8+ years?
Not an expert on this but I have read some arguments against them that seem to make sense.
Will tarrifs make prices cheaper long term for Americans: no and definitely not in the short term
Are they morally the better option: absolutely!
We have substituted cheap goods from the south pre civil war with slave labor from south east Asia. Don't hide from the truth we are still supporting slavery with cheap imported goods. Especially in the running shoe space.. people's getting 2.5$ per day is a kind of poverty that no one from a party of "inclusion" should support but for whatever reason they are in love with them! Ironically the Democrats look a lot like the Republicans of the 80s and vice versa
Oh boy the median American sure loves a moral lesson that impacts their household budget. And you guys call liberals sanctimonious.
We grow almost all of our own food here in the USA. Tariffs are for international imports.
"Your grocery bill might increase as food producers deal with higher costs and retaliatory tariffs affecting U.S. agricultural exports. Price increases between 5-15% could hit various food products at your local store. "Packaging costs rise when manufacturers pay more for materials like aluminum cans and steel containers. Agricultural equipment becomes more expensive as steel and parts prices increase. The combined effect means higher prices throughout the entire food supply chain."
It’s becoming increasingly clear that the average Trump supporter has zero idea what tariffs do and the economic impact they cause.
It’s mildly humorous to see them get educated in real time, unfortunately it often leads to them contradicting their dear leader only days after the election 😂

They are not at least on the scale Trump proposes. Even on smaller scale they have limitations to say the least and often don't do what their proponents say they will (protect US jobs for instance). Read Scott Lincicome.

Tarriffs are good if you have a lot of spare money.
Once the Trump tarriffs cause a global recession and severe layoffs, you’ll be able benefit from vulture pricing by buying low from all of the people Trump makes poor.
People cannot vote in Puerto Rico. Nike can open a shoe factory there. DEI can work their way back to the USA. Now we have mass deportation, cheap labor, regulated immigration, and revival of a US territory all birds in one stone.
That's still not a deportation: "expelling (a foreigner) from a country, typically on the grounds of illegal status or for having committed a crime."
If you leave people in a country, even in a different place within it, you haven't deported them.

Tragicomic.
Don't know what you're talking about. Judging by the reaction of the market, there is no shortage of confidence in Trump:
US stocks rocketed higher Wednesday following a decisive and consequential victory for former President Donald Trump in Tuesday’s US presidential election.
Companies know that Trump is going to cut regulations and red tape, and that is part of the reason for the optimism. Trump is "business friendly".
Letting companies keep more of their money, and to allow them to innovate without the fear of onerous regulation, or heavy taxation, will boost GDP. It is companies that are the economic engine of this nation, not the government.
Looking forward to revisiting this thread in a couple of years and rubbing your nose in it, just as I am happy to rub your nose in Kamala's shameful defeat for the Democrats. I said in another thread that people weren't going to stand for candidate that had been unceremoniously foisted upon them, and you strongly disagreed. Now, here we are!

“Pay more because it makes me feel good”
Idiots like you just passed another 65 cent tax on gas in California so you could "feel good" about everything you're doing for the climate.

Great point. These guys will deadass claim more taxes on oil produced and refined in America is good but a tariff on Chinese cars is a threat to muhhh free market
14 Words: The most beautiful and precious thing in the world is a pregnant White woman.
What if her pregnancy was due to rape by a black man? Should she abort or not?
Let's not feed the trolls, but I think it's a common misconception or straw man that people are nostalgic for the 1950s. That's 70 years ago now and long before most of us were alive. I do think people are nostalgic for the 90s and early 2000s. This is before society went crazy in a lot of ways. A time before NAFTA (1994) and then China added to the WTO (2001) wiping out what was left of the rust belt. People believed there were two genders and wokeness was tamed. We had technology but weren't buried in smartphones and social media. We weren't wholly reliant on China to build everything. Not everything was better, but there's been a lot of downward trends in the West since that time.

It's Republicans that (usually) prefer free markets. Their sudden conversion to the government intervening in the economy is bewildering. It's a shame they're doing this to abolish income tax rather than increase the minimum wage or put on caps on rent.
I think everyone agrees tariffs on Chinese cars or steel is required as China is state funding these industries to affect the western economy.
Import taxes are required in developing countries and emerging industries. The United States deciding it's entire economy needs protecting is fvcking absurd.
Lol Americans don’t want to work in agriculture/the fields. Immigrants usually take up the jobs Americans DON’T want to do. There’s plenty of jobs in the fields, if an American wants to work out there …
Lol why mention “when there were two genders” … What does someone else claiming to be non-binary or whatever have to do with you and your life? Literally affects you in zero ways. 🙄
