Well said Steve! The sad truth is this tactic works however. The vast majority of our citizens have no idea what work goes into these statistics. They only know the price of eggs and gasoline.
A dozen grade A eggs tripled from October $2 to March $6 and now are $4. Gas is flat from October.
We are now into a period where policy is pure whim and politics. Look at the tariffs ( ie Import Taxes). Just made up as they go along and jumbled around for no good reason.
Lula is fun to watch. Brazil is in surplus with the US and yet gets hit with putative import taxes for political reasons. Well Brazil is putting the Capital “B” in Brics and our morning coffee s on the table.
Just wait for the next move which will be to get us in a war somewhere.
