If the economy has been so good, explain the historic high levels of credit card debt, the low average level of savings and the fewest ever metrics being included in the calculation of CPI. I'll wait while you Google what Krugman's opinions are

People clamoring for lower prices in an economy where few can pay full price, higher historical population, economic optimism for the incoming administration, just thinking of the broad strokes.
the opposite. people are buying tv’s and things of that nature before the next admin comes in with stupid tariffs! independent economists all agree we are headed for a nightmare. i’ll wait while you google it. 🙄
You know what? I don't have to Google it, because I remember his last Presidency when the Chinese pushed each other out of the way to kiss Trump's ass before he levied tariffs on them. Then, when they fucked around, he actually did, and prices, taxes and inflation were lower
you know your bestie just said yesterday he can’t guarantee lower prices. but you’ll still blame anyone but him. when prices rise i’ll think of you and laugh. until then ill just mute you.
Are you disputing that taxes, inflation and prices were lower? If you're really a grandmother, you should recall. My taxes were substantially less, grocery store prices were half of what they are currently and inflation was under 2%. These things all went up due to Biden's policies
I'm not familiar with your EBT store, but I invite you to look at the exchanges between the Chinese and the last Trump Commerce Dept. If you want to go deep, look and see if Biden reversed the tariffs the Trump put in place. You may be in for a surprise, with the way the "news" has framed tariffs
More than that, we onshored manufacturing lost to TPP and NAFTA. You'd think that would make the climate cultists happy, since we have far cleaner industry stateside and ships weren't burning bunker fuel, the dirtiest kind of diesel there is. Add that to your research. I'll grade your homework later
You must realize that other countries tariff the crap out of us. You think we sell cars in China, or Japan, or Germany? No, because they want to keep their businesses strong and they negate the competition that way. 100% tariff on US cars. If we did that here we could revive auto manufacturing
