Most drivers of inflation lead to higher prices and eventually wages catch up. But tariff-induced inflation is different: Prices rise, but there's no reason to expect wages to catch up. They hurt your purchasing power in an enduring sense.

Have been watching presidential speeches to Congress since JFK and have never seen one from either party that expressed total disinterest in reaching out to the opposition. Lotta speeches gave it lip-service, but Trump didn't even bother with that. nymag.com/intelligence...

As a rule, I hate these presidential speeches to Congress, even if I like the president at the time. But this one was such a complete waste of time. Trump could have just put up a screen and broadcast any of his campaign rallies and served the same purpose. nymag.com/intelligence...
