Darn that Trump!
Nooooooooo!
"TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP!"
It’s early innings. I hope not, but leave it to Demonrats to find a way to throw a donkey-wrench in the works.
I know it’s the fed’s goal but even 2% is too high
Right, fighting negative people on both sides of the aisle is always important. If the negative people were right we would all have been eating dirt long ago.
It’s as if President Trump knows more about economics than those 16 Nobel Prize winning economists.
Establishment Tactics 101:
Anything bad that happens is Trump fault. All good news happened not because of Trump’s policies, rather it’s good news despite Trump policies. See how that works?
Don’t hold your breath waiting for the Democrats and their media to acknowledge any of this.
TVs are cheaper every year yet TV makers stay in business. How is that?
Democrats hate this.
The annual inflation rate in the United States was 2.4% for the 12 months ending January, down from 2.7% previously, according to U.S. Labor Department data released February 13, 2026.

That is their “plan”. To reduce the dollar through small annual theft. 2% a year inflations means the value of the dollar will halve every 36 years. So after 72 years the dollar is worth 1/4, after 108 years the dollar is worth 1/8th.
But don’t worry, Blondie says the Dow is over 50,000!
And people forget, in the 80s, we were the world’s biggest creditor nation. Now we are the largest debtor in all of human history....
That matters a lot.
Reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield’s character in “”Back to School”.
