The shock from 21/22 stayed for sure so it was hard to recognize that within those YoY periods the increase wasn’t what it was for the initial price shocks

so in other words inflation was fixed in 2023…

According to truflation

Less ‘fixed’ than it is now for sure. Real price points are real price points and the population of price points keeps expanding increasing accuracy.

If you truly believe the Truflation figures under Biden, you’d have to believe he’s some kind of fucking wizard for getting inflation to that level that quickly after the global shock that was beyond his control. Shout out to the Inflation Reduction Act that took effect right before that decline, eh?

We are not Argentina - There will never be runaway sustained inflation. There are also economic measures that i'm sure Trump/Bessent would have taken at that time that would have resulted in far lower inflation comparatively.

Coupling it with pro-growth policies / Real wage/wealth increases for middle class / slashed federal workforce / expanded native employment



Any other questions?

Real wages were flying in 2024. Asset prices too

Yep. A lot of MAGA won't admit that real wages outpaced inflation in '24 before Trump was in office.

Cool - game of chicken.

I think it’s very reasonable though to expect a removal of tariffs if they build here. It’s mostly what I want anyway. MOAR jobs keeping larger percentage of cogs here.

Yet there remains baseline tariffs for countries actively playing ball with us.

Using the endorsement of something by Krugman to hurt its credibility is absolutely savage. Bravo.

Yeah I thought of it were built here there were no tariffs

Turns out we’re run by incompetent morons who set tariffs so broadly that you can’t build factories in America right now without paying them.

And yet we are headed towards a capex boom which will lead to massively expanded employment.

Its funny that everyoen is so stupid yet the economy is firing on all cylinders headed into 2026 (just as someone kept saying on this forum).
