Check carefully with Milton F, University of Chicago, he'll set you straight and school you on some important $hit you KNOW NOT what you are talking about. lol

 

Here's a link, shut up and read it.

Inflation can be created by money supply, so what? I don't see Friedman disagreeing tariffs are inflationary.

 

You don't get to tell me to shut up. Try acquiring some manners.

GDP now has a pretty good track record.

Baseless claim! 😆

 

I have shown it's not the case. Fact from reliable source.

The lefties must miss the low inflation during the Biden administration.

Why does the graph you picked stop in 2023. The 2024 figures are widely available, 2.9% as of December 2024.

And food inflation was 2.5% (now 2.9%). Remember me who promised to bring down the price of groceries? 🤣

So when you were doing your constant Biden bashing for years, we should have done like you and replied "Biden won", like a broken record? 🙂

Inflation AND soaring cost of goods and services, including petrol began with Biden and ended with Trump. Thats just how it is.

 

• "Key Drivers:
  • Israel-Iran Ceasefire: A fragile ceasefire, following Israel’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear program, stabilized oil markets, preventing price spikes. Robert McNally, a former energy advisor to President George W. Bush, stated that sustained peace could keep prices stable.
  • Oil Supply: West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices fell to ~$72/barrel in June 2025, down from $120 in 2022, due to increased OPEC+ production and no major supply disruptions.
  • Seasonal Factors: Summer-blend gasoline, used May 1–September 15, is costlier due to emission controls, but lower demand and cheaper winter-blend production kept prices in check."
