2. Remember that before the 2024 election, the UE was under 4%
Tue Dec 9, 2025, 07:01 AM
Tuesday

and inflation had dropped to something like 2.3% - 2.5% (headline figure, Fed target is 2%).

As soon as 45 got in and implemented "global" tariffs, here comes the inflation. He's been trying to cherry-pick lowering some tariffs on some countries and on some products and exempting some products, but it's too late.

Our "plan" should be to go through and repeal every one of his ridiculous tariffs and implement what was already in place before he was elected. And we need to re-do the trade agreements with Canada and Mexico, since they are our biggest trading partners (along with China).

Remember that everything that Biden did was to recover from the calamity of BOTH a pandemic AND an economic calamity that were BOTH caused by 45 in his first term.

The one big wrinkle vs 2021, is the unfettered and unhinged infestation of "AI" into every aspect of people's lives, literally en masse, and out of nowhere, and there needs to be some kind of contingency to deal with the aftermath of that.
