It was interesting reading the AP pre posting of the news. I howled when the AP pointed out Trump said the price of gas has gotten below $2. They went on a paragraph rant about how gas averages above 3 in the states. Of course Trump was pointing out the WHOLESALE price. I really wish that someone would blow AP off the map.

I’m rooting for 0% inflation in the 3rd qtr. so there is no increase in Social Security payments, only increases in the healthcare insurance premiums.

MSM reports that this is due to the effects of “Biden’s Economy,” certainly not Trumps.

They never tell the truth on anything concerning Trump.

Reminds me of how Obama was still blaming the “Bush Economy” for his own failures - eight years into Obama’s presidency.

But I thought inflation was going to roar because of the tariffs.

Wait until the GDP prints at about 3% next quarter. (The accounting of imports prior to April 1st was a negative for GDP. That will swing 180 degrees in a single quarter as those goods “enter the system.”)
