The problem you gals face is this: the economy had ridden out what in fact proved to be very transitory inflation (well below historic averages by 2023-24) because the top 10% of American households by net worth kept spending even in the face of price increases. They did so because they looked at their portfolios and felt rich. The impending Good Recession will be largely due to the fact that they stop this spending as they watch their holdings sway erratically. Now the impending Good Recession will act as a check upon inflation for a bit, but not for long, because for no good reason whatsoever, Daddy has decided to impose inflation on the economy with his tariffs and tax relief for billionaires. Your best hope is that the Good Depression arrives to quell those price increases.
Btw, the WSJ ran an article today on the enormous trade surplus we have with the world in services. Daddy has jeopardized that as well—it's hard to recapture goodwill.
Self-inflicted wound. You girls, emotional creatures that you are, voted on the basis of your enormous resentments with the status quo. You've cut off your nose to spite your face. Enjoy!
You're welcome.
