- Thread starter Lesh
- Start date
/—-/ If inflation is down the way you imply, why is everything 20% more than it was 4 years ago?
U.S. Inflation Reaches Lowest Point Since February 2021
Cooling inflation, solid hiring and healthy growth could erode former President Donald Trump’s perceived advantage on the economy as measured by public opinion polls.www.huffpost.com
Inflation dropped again
Gas prices are down
250,000 jobs created (180K is considered good)
GDP growth over 3%
Unemployment down again
The economy is doing well!
/—-/ Good compared to what, $3.10 or $1.86?Did I say it was?
It’s under $3. And that’s pretty damn good
/—/ Libs understand economics. They just think everyone is as dumb as their base.Liberals still don't understand economics. I could explain it, but it's right in the OP's article.

Because we all know that the most common metric for inflation is percent increase in prices over the last year./—-/ If inflation is down the way you imply, why is everything 20% more than it was 4 years ago?

Called CPI which was up.Because we all know that the most common metric for inflation is percent increase in prices over the last year.
And still higher than Trump's average. Just admit the Democrats are failures.U.S. Inflation Reaches Lowest Point Since February 2021

It's more relevant to discussion of policy in the future. Do you think Trump is going to bring on deflation?/——/ It may be common when we discuss it, but not in the real world when we buy a cart full of groceries and a tank of gas.

Man can't affect the weather? Or can we? Make up your minds. First you deny GW is real because Republicans tell you so, now you believe WE control the weather.
/—-/ He sure as hell can try. Do you morally object to paying less for stuff if a Republican is president?It's more relevant to discussion of policy in the future. Do you think Trump is going to bring on deflation?

Considering his stated policies are quite inflationary, not sure what he's going to do to try./—-/ He sure as hell can try. Do you morally object to paying less for stuff if a Republican is president?
But more to the point, deflation is toxic to economies and trying to achieve deflation is a bad idea. Way better to increase wages to match inflation.
Guess how much wages have gone up in the last 4 years?
/—-/ Rapid deflation is bad, but no one gets hurt if gas and food prices decline over time.Considering his stated policies are quite inflationary, not sure what he's going to do to try.

It’s in fact a benefit to the working poor and middle class.
If two good quality gas stations are in competition, and one is 20 cents cheaper a gallon, do you choose the more expensive one or cross the street to save $2.00 a tank?

Gas and food prices are quite volatile and go up and down all the time without resulting in deflation. These are only some of the components of inflation, about a quarter of it./—-/ Rapid deflation is bad, but no one gets hurt if gas and food prices decline over time.

Moreover, gas is a global commodity. It wasn't that long ago that Trump was telling OPEC to decrease production to increase prices and provide more profit to American producers.
And just wait till you see what happens to food prices when you deport millions of people working in the food industry. Yikes.
/—-/ Why do you distort what Trump did? You know damn well he asked Saudi to cut production because oil was in negative numbers and he needed to save American oil workers jobs.Gas and food prices are quite volatile and go up and down all the time without resulting in deflation.

Why can’t you libtards ever give him credit for doing something right? GEEZE
Here’s what happened as you well know:
“President Donald Trump gave Saudi leaders an ultimatum.
In an April 2 phone call, Trump told Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that unless the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) started cutting oil production, he would be powerless to stop lawmakers from passing legislation to withdraw U.S. troops from the kingdom, four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The effort illustrated Trump’s strong desire to protect the U.S. oil industry from a historic price meltdown as governments shut down economies worldwide to fight the virus.“

No distortion. It's just showing you that we can't simultaneously have a profitable oil sector and low gas prices./—-/ Why do you distort what Trump did? You know damn well he asked Saudi to cut production because oil was in negative numbers and he needed to save American oil workers jobs.

Actually the fluctuations are minor, but overall they are trending upward.
/—-/ So, you’re saying oil companies weren’t profitable prior to 2000?No distortion. It's just showing you that we can't simultaneously have a profitable oil sector and low gas prices.

Fluctuations are minor but minor fluctuations can distort inflation when it's only 2% per year./—-/ “Gas and food prices are quite volatile and go up and down all the time”

I agree that food prices aren't that volatile but energy prices can be.
