well looks like Big stores are going to start padding their profits now while they can before Trump takes the whole economy down with his tariffs.

I don't believe that Alicia Wallace at CNN knows what she's talking about.

Didn't Slow Joe and Cackling Kamala try to tell Americans that inflation wasn't happening, before they told us it was happening but wouldn't last, before they told us it was only lasting because of "corporate greed"?

Oh stop it , Inflation was caused by Putin's war in Ukraine, It took oil and food off the world market. It has persisted because the ownership society was not giving up the new profit rates and price structures. Trump would have waved his hands over the problems and solved them all.
Trump just said after lying about it in the campaign, that dropping food prices and inflation is tougher than he thought and do not look for changes. He lied to his pliable followers and now is starting to be honest to slash expectations.

I'm still so fascinated by this argument (the bolded). Is it an ideological one to deny the role fiscal and monetary played? Or is it simply not understanding the role fiscal and monetary policy played?
