He has in fact increased production, denying is fine...up to you of course..... then again, you might want to reconsider as later I might pull this one back up as you learn more. Your understanding is overly simplistic, but not dramatically so. It is rather in line with the less thorough understanding that dominates much of media and government, in essence you know what you have been told.....you are easy to lie to apparently. The problem for you will be missed opportunities, you are Gutter right? Remember when I said the housing market would fail? And you laughed? Then you cried about your losses in investments? yeah, you seem to remain that kind of stupid.....

I asserted that tariffs were unlikely to cause prices to rise, because they are such a small part of the puzzle; moreover, in a recent exchange with another poster I directly refuted the notion that they lower prices....because....again.....their influence is not really much to worry about. They do not contribute significantly to a problem, and are even less effective at "fixing" one.....there were three instances over the last 150 years where fixing was attempted....and it was a failure.....becaaaauuuuuuseeee......Tariffs cannot influence very well.

He has increased production, but you are missing the point....that increase need not be evident right now to influence prices......and that is important. Now, your issue with prices of oil is not with me, its with Goldman..... I am gratified that you acknowledged OPEC, it shows that the DO actually have some grasp of energy costs, though the rest of your diatribe suggests a really simplistic understanding, which is a little confusing.

Apparently, you can replace Trump with Biden and it still works..

Because of the way this is being done, the solution is sustainable....conversely, the band aide approach which accentuates appeasement of the people over solutions is not. Its odd this needs to be explained to you.

He has lowered energy prices through increased production and deregulation; though his pulling back from green energy has hurt that segment. By boosting domestic production and expediting the process for leasing federal lands for oil and gas development he has cut almost 6 months off of the process.Goldman is now predicting prices to remain in the $40 to $50 per barrel range; and if he stays the course we could see $30 per barrel.... Most people decry the Canada and Mexico tariffs on this issue, but this is where the overly simplistic view of markets starts to fail...... there is a reason the government likes to use Core CPI, because it eliminates the volatility of things like energy and food......why? Well, because it takes very little to move them, and all you have to do is what he has done to move it......

Because the costs do not always reach the consumer, prices fluxuate all the time, its not some unusual occurrence, its constant.....but we do not see it, companies absorb it most of the time, unless its something with teeth....like energy, that is inescapable and usually within 90 days if not faster. Again, the media is selling you to serve a political party......now we can watch as they lie and lie.....are wrong and then amend their lies.....as they have done repeatedly.

Not always, and not in the way you appear to think they do. The cost of doing business fluxuates, but prices do not change in tandem, there is not an immediate extension to prices, and with regard to tariffs, can be easily muted by really powerful price influences such as food, energy and jobs Consider the source......these news outlets lied about many things over the years in servitude to a political party.....and now they all want to play victim.....that they were lied to by the government.....an admission they are not being critical, thinking through it.....acting on our behalf......so please be careful what you accept from modern media

The notion that you can fix a problem in some utopian way is not realistic, the hard work.....the stuff no politician would try for the last five decades is now being done, to fix these issues......and once fixed, we enjoy price drops that are sustainable not simply to placate the voter for the next election. The process will unfold and with it, improvements that even Democrats would struggle to fock up.

Right. If Trump fails to punch energy down I could see tariffs potentially showing in September or perhaps October for select industries, but not dramatically, that's not how it works. As long as he drops energy people will be rather happy, moreover the real inflation impacts would be employment and while that will uptick I cannot see it being dramatic for a few more years.

In short the tariffs is part of a broader strategy of economic protections for domestic industries that will result in job growth and with it improving just about everything in society. The long road of disintegrating domestic social status is linked directly to the shedding of jobs elsewhere. Correcting Trade Imbalances which harm the access to good paying jobs for our people, reviving manufacturing which is a security issue, standing up to the corruption and cheating of China....which no longer needs to behave like that,

Well, the argument "here" was that they would cause inflation.....and clearly the economists who predicted it were wrong, as outlined by those reporting it. But the entire topic isbeing wayyyyy overblown for dramatic effect

If you say so

But they did.....and CNN only used them for their reporting, so now....one again....they look foolish because they only reported one side.

Agree, while it would be wonderful to fix problems without pain the notion of doing so is rarely feasible. But right now I find most of the machinations to be really solid in terms of strategy, so I hope for the best of course. I ight also suggest that the timeline to see impacts is rather aggressive and it would be unusual to see any impact from tariffs that quickly, moreover, any change in actual meaningful inflationary influences would hide it.

Which.....is what I have been asserting all along....and yet.....media seems surprised.....Wolf Blitzer himself noted that economists predicted a problem would be evident, which is over course just focking stupid to assert.

They are not, and in a rare instance of honesty one actually states a truth..... "A clear read on the inflation trend won’t be visible for several months yet,"

Actually most of them are But I might suggest that there will typically be two camps, who disagree. Now as I have been stating all along, tariffs have a tiny footprint in terms of prices to the consumer and it can take months for it to manifest, so no big surprise really that they are not "seeing it"

You do realize.....the economists are now saying that tariffs are having no impact, right? And you also further realize that in saying this, they demonstrate a total lack of comprehension about how tariffs and the economy actually work? Right?

I might suggest we wait on any victory dance. 1) Government always lies, ALWAYS, never ....ever,,,,,ever..... trust anything pronounced by government 2) When we see economists surprised that tariffs had to no impact is is demonstrative of their lack of credibility or ability......tariffs would NEVER show this fast if they had an impact......it can take months....and sometimes years....for tariffs to have ANY impacts. 3) ANY impact by tariffs would be easily offset by a number of other areas of the economy, there are many things that would negate any tariff-driven impacts, if housing goes up or down......we wont even see the impacts of tariffs one way or another. ALL the talk about tariffs is just angry people hoping we lose.

I find the approach entirely suitable, I have to wonder what the plan is after they manage to get rid of the Biden Criminal Empire though. If this all unfolds the way it appears it will, the economy will be booming, foreign relations will be soaring, crime will drop and good people will have a better life, which bodes well for the midterm election. So long as we can prevent Democrats from having any power the people of this nation can live good lives, criminals wont, and liberals can cry for the worst of us all they want.....as long as we can be protected from them and their criminal allies

If you are a criminal, you absolutely love Democrats, they are enablers.

If we are being honest we know that this judge defied the law to serve her personal interests, and she was caught, so now we test the liberal "no one is above the law" propoganda

The opportunity to control the situation was forsaken by weak politicians for decades. Rather than face down the problem they punted it for someone else to worry about. Well, now we have someone who will fix it. So rather than continue the policies that are clearly not working, he will stand up to the globalists who have only served their own greed.

Maybe. One day I hear he is a complete liar, and then he says something that can be weaponized and suddenly he is telling the truth. So, to a certain extent I think the media portrays him as a liar when it suits them. I also think he does not always say "exactly" what he intends to do, and often will say things just to get the media frothing.
