the craziness abounds. the trump 4 step arsonist / firefighter method

step 1 - put regressive taxes on american consumers => check

step 2 - watch sentiment crater, inflation start to creep up and job growth cease => check

step 3 - throw pre-holiday gov't shutdown financial & travel pressures into the mix => check

step 4 - swoop in with fictional payments to the same people hurt by step 1's tariffs

fire started => fire encouraged => fire threatens everything nearby => fire suppressed

You are such a Trump Fanatic! The market is up today because of the 60-40 vote in the Senate, not because of something Trump floated.

If Trump gets a goldfish (He likes everything gold), would that be a Trum--pet?

More seriously, you keep getting careless when you know better. Government is responsible for a heck of a lot of inflation, but not all of it. Everytime a financial institution makes a loan (and they do that a lot!), it creates inflation because almost none of them have any reserves or balances to lend out.

I can’t say I’m a big fan of a tariff stimulus as a matter of economic policy. But if it helps people appreciate the tariffs, then “what the heck! Have fun with it, but only for those under $200k 2024 Adjusted Gross Income.”
