Tractors and (upcoming) tariffs?

[rumwrks]

I actually asked you about the past.

You asked if we were on the right path and if the potential future alternative candidate would have been better. Neither is material at this point to the immediate discussion of whether we will have tariffs and what the effect will be on the US economy. So I'm going to decline to answer that as it's not immediately relevant to the discussion at hand and is a diversion at best.

“The population of the United States in 2020 was 331,449,281, as recorded by the 2020 Census.

As of January 1, 2024, the population of the United States was estimated to be 335,893,238. This figure includes the 50 states and Washington, D.C., but excludes the population of five unincorporated U.S. territories.”

So only a 4.4 million increase. Right. So the government denies the influx of "immigrants"?

Have you looked at natural growth and legal immigration? You seem to have a fixation on immigration so research it.

Um, millions in the last four years?

Less than the four years before that....

I have. Apparently you have not.

So because you disagree with someone you insult them? In an especially juvenile way too. You should be ashamed. There is no call here for what you posted, and really no call anywhere.

This link shows annual US inflation rates from 1929 to present. There were many periods that had higher inflation than the recent past 5 years. The 1970s were far higher and the 40s saw inflation as high as 18.6%. A historical perspective.

Historical U.S. Inflation Rate by Year: 1929 to 2025

By looking at the inflation rate each year, you can gain insight into how prices changed and how events around the globe impacted the average U.S. consumer.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I’d take the 4 years in black (‘16-‘19) over the 4 years in red (‘20-‘23). Inflation has been as bad as it’s been in my time. I wasn’t doing much work in 1974 lol .

I mean what’s next? Comparing the last 4 years to the Great Depression? lol

And the funniest part is listening to Joey-B take credit for causing the 2022/23 expansion. It wasn’t like we just had come back from Covid, right?
