Trump cares ..... just like with Medicaid cuts, it means more to him when his voters are being directly impacted by his policies. He has made that perfectly clear going back to his first term.

I suspect Trumps “Medicaid Cuts” are the frivolous spending that is going into beauracrat’s back pockets. He is not cutting benefits. That would be political suicide.

Every one of you know this but keep believing the Democrats lies. See Where that gets you in ‘26/‘28.

Governments aren't businesses. The aim isn't profit; it's the quality of life of the people in accordance with election mandates.

I disagree, the aim of government shouldn't be improving the quality of life for it's citizens but rather staying out of their way and securing the environment for them to improve their own quality of life.

Maybe this will help you. Negative PPI isn’t generally considered a positive for a healthy economy since PPI is a leading indicator and negative PPI can point at deflation.

But thanks. I got a huge laugh out of someone touting a negative PPI as a good thing 😂

A simple google search will help you out….last laugh on you.

  • A lower-than-expected PPI can be a sign of easing inflationary pressures, potentially leading to lower consumer prices and a boost to the economy.

Exactly what I said.

I did my own simple google search before I posted because I was pretty sure negative PPI indicates shrinking producer margins. They absolutely do.

Thanks for doubling down and giving me my second laugh of the morning

AI Overview

A negative Producer Price Index (PPI)indicates that the prices producers are receiving for their goods and services are decreasing, which is a sign of deflation. In simpler terms, it means that businesses are, on average, getting paid less for what they produce. This can signal that demand for certain materials is decreasing or that there's increased supply, leading to lower prices.

But the inflation index was already at a level indicative of a healthy economy....at least price wise. We don't need any more negative monthly indexes.

@NorthDallas40 is correct

BTW. I filled up @2.63/gallon today with my discounts. That's nice for everyone in my little region here in Tennessee.

I always thought deflation is bad, but particularly stagflation..but either way it is an economic theory.

Can Deflation Ever Be Good?

The general consensus in economic theory is that deflation is bad for the economy. But for a period of around five years, the Swiss economy grew despite a drop in the price of consumer goods and services.
