Trump's inflationary moves - recession and despair.

[Pack Rat]

Trump's tariffs will start an inflationary spiral that will harm the middle class and the working poor.

Right now Wall Street is preparing for the worst. With tariffs at 25% our manufacturers will reap billions by rising their own prices. The lack of competitive prices will result in inflationary pressures.

Greed is the word!

Spoiler

World wide recession/depression on the horizon.

We will have chain supply issues that will shadow the COVID19 chain supply problems.

Trump's reckless policies with the spineless Republican Congress backing will harm our economy. This declaration of the upcoming trade war will shrink our GDP.

I'm retired and will weather this storm heading our way. Hope all of you who are working and supporting your families won't get hurt financially.

Canada has now imposed a 25% tariff on over 150 billion dollars of American products.

You do mean, you have reading issues and a lack to comprehend what you read.

That must be why your reply is incomprehensible?

Mookie, are you trying the high cost of eggs on Trump? Don't, or you may have EGG on your face.

“While it is crucial that the U.S. Department and Health and Human Services support pandemic preparedness, four years of the Biden administration’s failed oversight have made it necessary to review agreements for vaccine production,” said an HHS spokesperson in a statement to Bloomberg News.

$5 a dozen here.

I have done all the shopping for our family for over 20 years now. Prices took an unusual jump beginning about a year ago 'round these parts. Same with dining out prices....

I blame continental drift.

We are lucky, it's east coast producers getting hammered with bird flu eggs prices this time around... we are doing way better on the west coast. Total opposite of the 2021 bird flu + drought stuff that shot up egg prices out west first. We really couldn't find eggs for a couple weeks back then, haven't had any issues this year at all.

The image i posted i think was from Brooklyn.

Lol, I read the article. Let's give your quote some context:
Egg prices are high because bird flu means we gotta kill all infected chickens when we find them, supply down.
Bird flu spreads fast when birds kept too close together
Trumps plan to reduce prices is to spend $1b of taxpayer money, and remove “unnecessary burdens” such as regulations in some states that prevent chickens from being kept to close together
A month before leaving office Biden approved contract for 600m to moderna to create vaccine for bird flu.
New HHS spokeperson says they are cancelling it and says “While it is crucial that the U.S. Department and Health and Human Services support pandemic preparedness, four years of the Biden administration’s failed oversight have made it necessary to review agreements for vaccine production,”

Good times!

Of course, No President and his Administration and his policies can control the spread of this disease. The only proven way so far is to KILL all infected birds and others in the same flock/immediate area. AND reading the attempts to control this outbreak and the development of a vaccine, an mRNA one as I recall, reminds me A LOT of the attempts to control the outbreak and spread of COVID in 2020.

And of course, killing all those chickens, especially egg-laying (for commercial sale) will have an impact on egg prices and THAT is beyond the control of any President. And OF COURSE this Administration, about ONLY 2 months in office, will blame the predecessor.

AND: My joke would have been better if I found an image and been able to post of "egg on face." Some jokes don't make it out of the dumpster.

AND, as I have said before, a President gets too much credit for success and TOO much blame for failures. This reminds me of the quote attributed to JFK:

John F Kennedy once said, “Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan.” The historian Tacitus provided an earlier versions of this sentiment with, “This is the unfair thing about war: victory is claimed by all, failure to one alone.”

and:

"... victory has 100 fathers and defeat is an orphan..." --"President's News Conference of April 21, 1961 (139)," Public Papers of the Presidents: John F. Kennedy, 1961.May 11, 2023
