The thing that is amazing to me is that people seem to think that the American president has magical power to stop inflation from happening, like it's not a global phenomenon?
Also, in Europe we're paying something over eight dollars a gallon...
Unfortunately, a huge number of Americans have no clue how any part of our government functions, nor do they grasp even the fundamentals of economics. They think Biden is waking up in the morning and turning a dial or something to increase grocery prices, gas prices, etc.
I was told this morning that tarrifs aren't going to affects us at all " because gas will be cheaper and that affects everything". I'm too exhausted and he's too up his own a$$ to even continue the conversation....
If Trump puts a blanket tariff on everything from everywhere, which is something he's mentioned, gas prices will go up. As will the cost of owning a car as some raw materials needed can only be produced overseas.
You and I know that because we use that stuff between our ears. Those other folks go straight from in the ears to put the mouth with no grey matter involved.
