Inflation is transitory

IIRC that comment was about the specific kind of inflation we were experiencing and was and is accurate. A temporary increase due to supply chains, inventory, and a sugar hit from too much money injected into the economy.

This inflation is due to screwworm infections (IIRC) - like Bird Flu did to egg prices. You remember egg prices? You screamed at Biden for not controlling a virus and blamed him for egg prices. Egg prices are still high, by the way, but thankfully the past few months bird flu has significantly declined so we're seeing an easing on the price of eggs - finally. Of course Trump thinks they were down 400% 3 months ago (such an out of touch idiot).

BTW - Inflation is definitely heating up. Even the WSJ acknowledges that reality.

"he Wall Street Journal reviewed nearly 2,500 household items sold on Amazon between Jan. 20 and July 1 to track price changes; they found 1,200 of them had an increase. The analysis found notable increases, including a 30% jump in the price of a can of Campbell's soup, from $1.98 to $2.58. Other everyday essentials, such as deodorant, detergent and food products, saw at least a 5% increase."

That is substantial, and trump's big beautiful tariffs are just getting started!

Ah - screwworm wasn't included in the price of beef because that impact hasn't been felt yet by us.
"May 23, 2025 " The USDA has halted cattle imports and closed the border to fend off the screwworm parasite"potentially affecting future beef prices."

More to come. Hold on to your 10 gallon hats.

Drought, decrease in herd size, increase in feed prices and interest rates all contribute to the 9% increase in beef.

Isn't that CUTE! Now you care about reality!

"WHERE'S THE BEEF!?"

If the United States really wanted to get rid of all the undocumented people (which almost 2:1 the United States does not want to do) then the way to do it is to make these folks DOCUMENTED and LEGAL.

Thinking the "free market" is going to "fix" things without costing a dime, that labor will just appear, and we're all going to dance under rainbows shooting from unicorn asses is more than magical wishing.
