Why is it an issue now when prices and costs have gone down?
“Prices and costs” have gone up since Trump took over. Sure, you can point to some things that have gone down, but the aggregate, which is what matters, has gone up - not as much as under Biden but still more than is optimal.
Yes, prices as a whole rise annually, but they're not rising by double digits. The last CPI was 2.7% with wages rising nearly 4% over the past 12 months.
This^^^ is the way.
The 25-30% inflation under the Jotato Regime is never going away. Going forward, the best we can hope for is keeping inflation below 3% and wage growth above 3% for a few years. It will also help a lot if GDP growth averages in the 3-5% range for the next several years.

IDK. Stopped off today and filled with gas $2.14/gal Lowest I have seen a several years.
Prices of eggs are starting to go down.
A month ago, I bought a pound of Community Coffee for about $10. Looked at it this morning, it was about $6/pound.
Food prices are starting to stabilize and I am seeing prices go down. BTW, I am up in NELA .

Glad you are angry though.

What do you mean you don't know about increased spending? Are you contesting whether it happened or unaware if you think it's a good or bad thing?

Premium gas could go to .68 cents per gallon and we would have 16
geniuses telling why that was a bad thing.
Maybe 17

GDP must stay above 4% for us to see a way out of the hole we have dug with debt. With the new investments into manufacturing along with decreases in interest rates we could see over 6% easily. This is the way.

Weird. You weren't complaining at all during Biden's term when things were much more expensive. Why? Why is it an issue now when prices and costs have gone down? I bought 30 eggs for $4.99 a couple days ago and filled up with $2.37 gallon gas the last time I went to the pump.
Yeah, transitory till Trump got back home.
Fear not, tCongress is not doing their job. This too will be wrecked once Trump is term limited out but the status quo Congressman keep their power for two more decades.

This is inaccurate and not true. Inflation is now back to bench mark of 2%.
False!

Note: as we eject low wage labor that the Democrats flooded the system with (illeglal aliens) while siphoning off taxpayer resources this will help wages increase AND reduce spending as both the illegal and the American that took his job come off 'the rolls'.
If Democrats wanted 'big business' to pay their 'fare share' truly this is how you would do it because those businesses will have to cut into margins to pay for increased labor costs assuming the Democrats would never lower capital gains rates.
