    yeah... it would have been weird that Trump lending half a trillion bucks to pump in the economy -very communistic, by the way- would not show in any way. But yeah... 1% increase when I deduct the inflation.

    Whooptido.

    Making the economy work for Americans, instead of the rest of the world is not communistic.

    The leeches of the world know their blood supply is drying up and are right to be distressed.

    You're not commenting that borrowing half a trillion bucks in order to cut taxes is communistic.

    You're calling Israel, the US biggest receiver of US tax dollars a leech?
    Nice

    The trade deficit has continued to go up so all that is happening is a new tax - again mostly on the middle class assuming business can pass them thru. If not it's a tax on business.

    Not really, if the tariffed foreign business wants to keep its market share, it has to compress their margins so that Americans don't switch to non-tariffed producer. So the tariffed business gets less profit and the difference goes to the US treasury and the American consumer sees no difference. That's why we are seeing an increase in tariff revenue without an inflation spike.

    But, I am happy to see that the left is suddenly anti tax!

    Still falsely claiming its a month?

    Easier to lie like that I'd guess. (or you don't understand basic math)

    Funny, I know many Vietnamese, and eat their sandwiches weekly.

    They appear to know more math than you.

    You guys really think a 3% increase is something to cheer about?

    That's on you. I'm honored to pay my fair share of those things we chose to handle collectively. It sounds like you are a freeloader who prides himself in pushing your fair share off on your fellow citizens, that clearly you feel very little affinity with. Perhaps one day you will enjoy the sense of belonging, rather than being outside with your nose pressed up against the glass.

    Being self employed allows many write-offs a freeloader enjoys along with cash rebates from the govt....Don't play stupid and get mad, learn how to play the game and get even...
    Oh and your little echo chamber rant is cute but shows a lack of imagination, get real...

    I have no desire to evade my fair share of those things we as free citizens choose to fund collectively.

    1600 bucks a year comes in handy right about this time of year.

    You're touting the fact that Americans are paying higher taxes? Congrats, "conservatives".

    We aren't experiencing inflation so these tariffed countries are compressing their margins. You get upset when Domestic Corporations get a tax cut and then gripe when foreign companies have to pay taxes?

    .... Importers pay tariffs, not foreign companies. The fact that you're cheering on something that you don't even understand is incredibly pathetic.

    Uh... yeah.

    Have you even been watching the stock market for the past year? We've been stagnant at the 24,500 level for quite some time, and we're already down another 3% today after the 3% loss yesterday.

    We aren't seeing inflation, which suggests that our foreign suppliers are compressing their margins to maintain market share, which means they are funding a portion of our debt at no cost to the US consumer. The fact that you're complaining about something that you don't even understand is incredibly pathetic
