The Bureau of Laor and Statistics (BLS) releases June inflation data [BLS RELEASE HERE]. Overall, the June rate of inflation decreased 0.4%, significantly faster than anticipated as energy prices and gasoline prices dropped.
Consumer demand on non-essential goods and services also contributed to a lowering of overall inflation as consumers continued holding back spending on products [Table 2]. Despite the tentative consumer spending, we should still anticipate significant GDP Growth in the second quarter as the value and volume of exports will push GDP statistics, despite consumer spending contraction.
[Table 1]
To be brutally honest, we are still in a painful cycle created by the Biden influx of illegal aliens, non-productive consumers, that have significantly exploited the U.S. economy. Until that influx can be removed from domestic consumption, there will remain artificial, inorganic upward pressure on all prices.
Deport more illegal aliens, cancel more H1Bs and other visa exploits, and we should see inflation retract to pre-influx levels as well as a return to upward pressure on wages. A net gain in domestic economic wealth can happen with significantly stronger efforts toward removals of illegal aliens (economic migrants) who are consuming at a level higher than the economic productivity associated with their existence.
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. inflation cooled last month as the cost of gas, clothes, and used cars fell, providing some relief to consumers, while underlying price pressures also cooled more than expected.
Prices dropped 0.4% from May to June, the largest monthly drop in four years, the Labor Department said Tuesday. On a yearly basis, inflation declined to 3.5%, down from a year-over-year gain of 4.2% in May and lower than many economists expected.
[…] excluding the food and energy categories, core prices were unchanged in June, a positive sign that underlying inflation is cooling. On a yearly basis, core prices rose just 2.6%, down from 2.9% the previous month. Core inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%.
The core figures suggest that the gas price spike from the Iran war, while it pushed up airfares and some other costs, hasn’t so far led to broad-based, sustained inflation, economists said.
“This reading is very much in the camp that the inflation we’ve had this year is transitory,” said Michael Metcalfe, head of macro strategy at State Street Markets. “Yes, gas prices went up, but nothing else did, more or less.” (more)
It is not going to be a normal economic approach toward prices until organic Main Street economics can get back into position. The continued activity by an illegal alien population is like a wrench in the machine.
Removing ten percent of the overall population is not easy, but it will -if successful- lead to more per capita wealth. Exit pressure must be maintained.
They were talking about the prices of rent skyrocketing in NYC because of all the ILLEGALS they allow in there and then they give them free housing which means there is a housing shortage which means prices go thru the roof.
When something like housing or healthcare, or even food, is subsidized, it creates demand. This is one of the reasons for the foreclosure crisis and housing price drop in 2007-2009. It was too easy to get money to help buy a home which qualified many for more home than they could afford. After a while they couldn’t make payments and walked away leaving us with 50-70% of the market as bank owned highly motivated(low selling price) sellers.
Banks actually competed to lower prices to get rid of these homes as fast as possible without any care of losing money. Then, investors offered even less than bank asking price, which was half of non-foreclosure sellers, causing the market to just puke.
That’s the supply and demand economics explanation. Just a distraction from the real reason for unlimited non White immigration. Slow genocide of White Americans.
I like to use the Doritos analogy:
Doritos didn’t get to six bucks a bag until millions of EBT shopping carts were filled with them.
The price of energy in Blue States is going up twice as fast as Red States.That is 100% due to the Renewable and Green Energy push. In many cases theyDid not build the Windmills. But, they did not build NatGas power plants becauseThey were supposed to build Windmills. So, there won’t be enough energy period.
It will take two generations to undue the damage done to the last two generations at the K-12 schools house. Even though nothing the environmentals have ever predicted is actually happening, it will take a long time to convince enough people that they have been believing fairy tales full of Collectivist Claptrap since kindergarten.
I am pretty sure the expansion of Government into every facet of our economy will always result in higher taxes, higher costs, and lower incomes for everyone except the big money donors to help elect our politicians.
There is a steep price being paid by the wealthy among us, and most of them pay it as the easy way to keep the Government off their backs. Sort of like insurance payments for them. The cost of insurance is sky high, as well.
Government is squeezing all of us and if there is an easy way out, the rich can usually pay that toll.
Hotel prices tripled when Biden started laundering taxpayer cash to his donors via paying for illegals housed in hotels his donors owned.
Which is exactly what the NYC powers that be want. New York can boot all of these idiots out of office whenever they get fed up with what their vast majority party is really pushing. New York can either lead by attacking the perpetrators or do the usual and elect the members of the Party of Perpetraitors, says the old hayseed out west who couldn’t care less what rents are in NYC. Illegals are our only problem and that is why we heartily support all of the efforts of ICE to get them the hell out of our country. And that is why most of us hayseeds elect non-Communists to be our representatives in the DC Swamp. Don’t fail to go vote against this crap and then whine about the consequences. Start voting for Common Sense. I just wanted to add to your excellent post. My target includes the Communists in the midst of even the hayseed population.
Do you believe that there is the political will in DC to actually implement these policies? I don’t see it happening as long as the RINOs control the Senate….am I overly cynical or am I just a realist?
Eye on Thune !!!
This is more like a 12 year project than a 4 year one, sadly. The biggest reason for that is the 6 year terms of the most corrupt group of humans on the planet – the US Senate.
The UniParty has no political will for anything except more spending, faster.
Realist.
The problem is that their incentive is aligned with selling us out. In order to change human behavior, you must first change incentive. In this case we need to speak with one voice that says we have had enough, to show them that we are not putting up with anymore, and that we will use every Constitutional and legal means to ruin their lives if we do not get our way.
Absolutely not! That’s why the tariff revenue was a mirage. Whatever money you give Washington DC is squandered as fast as its collected. We had a once in a lifetime chance to cut spending after the 2024 election but it’s melted away with a $1.5 tillion dollar defense budget.
You speak of the tariff money as if you know something. If you aren’t the one handling that, you know nothing.
Viking Mom asked, “Do you believe that there is the political will in DC to actually implement these policies?”
No.
Your a realist when all of them profit from it it seems impossible to a different direction.
just think a small man college aged 134 pounds who wrestled for two years and this is the height of his accomplishments his handed a path to become a millionaire. In a very short time he becomes a multi millionaire last year he was worth about 17 million this year. He’s worth well over 40 million.
Now he has no ability to do anything no business mind no skill well wrestling is a skill, but the UFC is about the only place you’ll turn that into money and the best of the best in that group still don’t make money like our politicians do. And they have to be good and work very very hard to achieve those levels.
this man is nothing more than a grifter yet he’s one of our politicians corrupting our country. None of these guys do anything for their districts it’s all for corporations, etc. sorry to be a downer, but I am a realist. God bless you.
I will leave you on a positive note and that is Jesus promised he’d be back right after the great tribulation. I think we may be in the beginning of that and there’s gonna be a lot of nasty things happen before that however he does return and for 1000 years we the church will help him teach peace to the nations mending terra firma to give back to our creator. God God bless you.
I cannot get past the ‘wrestling’….When one says ‘wrestling’, I think ‘Dennis Hastert’…just saying…
God Bless America.
Look down the line of Speakers and Leaders on the R side. I truly believe that RINO’s control(ed) both R houses.
We’re also infiltrated by RINO’s in “pretend guard dog roles”: Jim Jordan, Tom Cotton, Chip Roy, One Eye Pirate, MTG, Noem, Blondie, Patel, Todd Blanche, Wiles, MarcDwayneMuffin.
This on top of the 20 or so Hardcore RINOS we know never to count on….and gender confused Adam/Ann Kinzinger.
Tea Party and MAGA suffocated by the bigs.
Make it hard, very hard on hiring of illegals.
Hit people that hire illegals in the pocketbook.
H1B’s are out of control. Dallas looks like Hyderabad, India these days.
And Texas has the highest number of mosques being built right now.
This will not end well for those cultures. We see what they’ve done to England and Europe.
Make E-verify part of every application. Problem solved. Search it. Gubmint created.
The Federal Reserve has forgotten that high interest rates create inflation!
Higher loan rates on cars, homes and appliances are a source of inflation. In addition, higher borrowing costs for business inventory and capital investment create inflation. Higher borrowing costs for the Federal Debt are inflationary too.
Persistent inflation is the point of the Federal Reserve.
Inflation is the stealth tax.
Yes, Sundance, but the GOP receives most of its funding from interests that are diametrically opposed to that. I fear the cycle of woe will simply continue when the Democrats regain control of Congress and drive things to a point of FUBAR, much like they did under the Biden administration.
The Democrat Party royally messes things up, and then the GOP uses that as their pretext to chase more funding. The cycle then repeats.
At least we will be here. We will always be here because like Captain Redlegs said in that film “The Outlaw Jose Wales,” doing right has got no end.
Pray I’m wrong. I’ll pray with you for that.
I read somewhere that the Trump Administration has purchased a fleet of passenger jets for DHS to use for deportations.
We won’t have to rely on air corporations “allowing” our President to charter flights.
With its own fleet of jets the DHS will be able to fly illegal aliens back to where they came from virtually around the clock.
If President Trump is successful in getting “Con Air Deportation” up and running at full capacity, we will get that significant “removal” that Sundance is speaking of.
We already have a huge fleet of Air Force transport planes. Why can’t we use them?
Apparently what’s good enough for the troops would be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
Good question for USAF/CJCS General Caine, go direct to the source, no obfuscation.
Yup. Why not? Bush the Second used military troop transport planes to fly the Somali invasion forces into Minnesota. They flew back and forth non-stop for months.
Back in the day, it was called flying “Space A”.
There may be a sanitation issue…
So you are saying that illegals are eating us out of house and home.
The UNIPARTY is. They just use illegals to do it.
And now DHS announcing no more car stops since people are getting shot. Something gotta give here or we will be stuck with the world’s leaches forever.
If illegals are getting shot, tough luck, get out of my country.
DHS is negotiating their surrender.
Temporary. Apparently tossing in a courtesy training program to appease Susan Collins, after which the traffic stops will resume.
That is only temporary, with adjustments to training procedure being made.
Like Minnesota when ICE/BP slowed down after the two killer/aggressors were shot by our guys ICE/BP defending themselves.
I believe it can become a pattern.
Tiggers and chicks
Obama’s (chiggers and ticks)
parasites
Yet DHS seems to be backing down and Minnesota won a stalemate over Ice…….
Increased pressure is called for!
Deportations are up, but they simply need a better process to get the millions out—way more agents, more judges, more streamlining and more physical transport.
Here’s the problem as I see it. Say inflation rate goes down to something more manageable, household budgets remain pinched. Unless and until wages catches up even a 0% inflation rate locks in prior increases. Becomes permanent. And that’s not even considering shrinkflation. Portion sizes smaller, packaging smaller, but pricing remains same as old price was for more. Look no further than cereal boxes that are the same size on shelves, but only one-inch deep, used to be 2.5″.
Only *deflation* restores consumer prices. And that comes with its own brand of problems. Though the corrections are truly necessary they do cause destabilization in markets that are built for pricing in only one direction – up.
It’s profoundly complicated. And while fuel prices can come down, the shock of big inflation dissipates into historical norms, what’s done is done, and going back down faces much stronger resistance than going up.
All the factors Sundance describes are true. But the inflation that the hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz caused remains as its legacy. And my household budget remains severely pinched, just spent $250 at the supermarket for $225 of groceries four months ago, that was $100 of groceries six years ago. And that’s not a monthly shopping visit, more like every 7-10 days. And that wasn’t even my meat shopping cart.
We need deflation to restore. And that’s a pain a lot of well-healed interests don’t want to feel.
Wages growing faster than prices also cures this. Deport the illegals and H1Bs! Less labor supply will increase wages paid to American workers.
Have wages ever grown faster than prices? Ever? In wartime when the 18 to 35 male demographic is drafted wages are usually frozen in some manner.
As long as non-earners, illegal or otherwise, have unearned money to spend on the same goods you have to spend your earned money on, the cost of those goods will continue to incur upward pressure.
Price of all consumption items are up because so many individuals are using your money (by way of taxation) or borrowed money (by way of deficit spending, again, for which you will be required to pay back, with interest) to outbid you for those goods.
Here’s another reality: while you’re dragging your ass out of bed at 6 AM and going to work, these people are getting out of bed mid-morning, going to the grocery store with your money, and cleaning out the shelves of the items you want – when you go to the store after work the shelves have been picked over – ever notice how often stores are running out of popular items? or how many new fast-food joints have arisen post-COVID? I have – absolutely fascinating…
This is Econ 101 –
Deflation is more problematic than inflation. What is needed is to get inflation back down to 2%, make gains in productivity, while simultaneously raising real wages and lowering production costs. The main facilitator for this is the reduction of energy costs.
Lower energy costs will allow the growth in real wages, while keeping inflation in check. Your groceries will still be the same, but you’ll have more money to buy them with.
Tell me, how do retirees and those on fixed incomes get their purchasing power back? Inflation is the cruelest tax of all, especially on those who will *never* be able to benefit from real wage growth. Grandma eating Alpo not just cheap political rhetoric or hyperbole. Sucks to be them?
Sorry, there is no magic bullet. Most of the time I live on a fixed income, so yea it sucks; but I would rather have an improving economy that I will eventually get some small benefit from, versus letting the system continue to steal more through the theft of inflation.
I wish that I could return to the purchasing power I had before COVID, but like my dad use to say, “Wish in one hand, sh*t in the other and see which hand fills up first.
There is only what you can do, and what you can’t do; stopping the thieves is better than letting the thieving persist.
You’re shifting to false paradigm. We have ZERO disagreement about stopping inflation. That’s not a debate between us. Though that’s the only issue you want to debate.
The issue I raised is corrective deflation. You assert its more problematic than inflation. And that higher wages will eventually offset. I brought up retirees (and those close to retiring with scant few years of earning ahead who watched their retirement nest eggs lose 50% of purchasing power) and gloss over it with “sorry there’s no magic bullet.”
Completely dismissive of the issue I raised. “Too bad, so sad, sucks to be you.”
No. The issue needs to be debated. What makes deflation more problematic? For who?
I’ll concede that there is no ‘magic bullet.’ But since there is not, whose goose gets cooked becomes the public policy decision point.
Make the case that deflation is more problematic. Both sides make their case. Who prevails? Whose goose gets cooked? Your response is a middle finger to middle America. Something D’s and R’s in power alike love to flip to bitter-clinger flyover deplorables. To MAGA.
Your reply is Chamber of Commerce country club RINO-worthy. How about some humility and engage in real debate, weigh pluses and minuses, deliberate on what *imperfect* public policy should guide us instead of dismissing other points of view, constituencies and concerns that real people have, not just statistical theories about collective “greater good” that Communists, Fascists and WSJ/Federalist Society corporatists have?
Recognizing the reality that I am not getting my purchasing power back any time soon is not a false paradigm, it is simply truth. The bankers have hit us once again like they did during WWI, the crash of 29, FDR’s theft of American gold, the Great Depression etc. etc., all the way up through the sub prime scandal and their latest operation Covid, high inflation is their primary weapon to suck out the fruit of our labor.
If you have a solution that I am unaware of, I would be extremely happy to hear it.
As far as deflation see comment below.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/07/14/bls-data-inflation-moderates-as-energy-prices-dropped-in-june/comment-page-1/#comment-12696347
The anti-deflation comment is standard CoC Federalist Society positioning. The “theory” of a thing that I reject.
I majored in Finance, well aware of all the theories of things. We had saying about Economics majors, that Finance was economics, but with real numbers. Not just theories and models…loaded with biases.
Yes, a spiral can happen. But doesn’t always happen. After “irrational exuberance” run ups of prices corrections are appropriate and necessary. Is how free markets work. Our economist’s public policies have recklesslessly embraced one-way ratcheting up of costs. Adhering to that theory you shared like religious tenets of faith. It’s a nice, simple talking point. But ignores that truly free markets correct. Deflation is a necessary correction to overinflated costs.
Once upon a time that was taught along with economic theory. In Finance classes that once served as the last redoubt of free market economies.
You’re projecting positions onto me that I did not claim, I am in no way adhering to any theory like a religious tenet, only to reality as it exists now.
My first reply to you was that deflation is more problematic than inflation, then posted my opinion on what was needed now, in this moment, something you seemed to agree with:
“Only *deflation* restores consumer prices. And that comes with its own brand of problems. Though the corrections are truly necessary they do cause destabilization in markets that are built for pricing in only one direction – up.”
The reality of it is that consumers prices aren’t coming back anytime soon, and deflation at this fragile point in time is not going to change that. We are in an existential situation for survival, and allowing deflation now would be devastating, as the problem we face is far from being limited solely to economics. First and foremost economic stability for the near future is critical, as it is the only environment that allows us any kind of chance to return to the American system.
Also, as we do not have a “truly free market,” we have one controlled by an oligarchy that wants to enslave us and is about to finish the job; and while deflation as occurred under the policies of Harding was a good thing, it was the last time of any significance, as the Fed, who was only eight years old then, has learned and fine tuned its debt slavery method over the last century, something that your remark on a system built for pricing in one direction shows that you clearly understand.
That is the reality of the situation.
We win the mid-terms, we return to an actual free market with a stable economy, then we can talk about deflation, but promoting standard responses for an economic system that in reality does not exist, will not restore my purchasing power, will degrade my fixed income further, will destroy our one chance to bring America back, and will not save those retirees that you care so much about.
Maybe different punctuation in sentence would’ve been more clear. The “adhering to theory” was continuation of previous sentence, identifying “our economist’s pubic policies” as the possessive of the characterization of who does the adhering. Not you. Though I can see how you would’ve read it as such.
The concerns you identify are real. But not impossible. And necessary. And possible without the blowback you seem to be quite certain of. I don’t share your certitude.
Sorry, I am day late to this thread. I really wanted to see the result of the “deflation” discussion. So here is my 2 cents.
I believe real deflation, ie product price reductions is severely damaging to businesses bottom line. It directly reduces their revenues. I think this is why all economist/business news are always in agreement that deflation should be treated like a world ending event that should be avoided at all cost.
Who benefits from lower product prices – everyday consumers. You, me, the poor guy and the rich guy.
Now, eventually businesses need to be profitable to survive. Soo, maybe a little deflation will trim out those businesses (with the loss of jobs) that are barely surviving. Thus leaving the economy with strong, sound businesses going forward. Maybe similar to what your body does during fasting- the fasting triggers your body to start cleaning out those cells that are not quite working correctly(cancer) or not really essential (fat) .
Maybe every business should go through an occasional period of down revenue(deflation) to trigger it to refine its processes and workers to trim out the overhead. Most businesses are extremely bloated with overhead.
FYI – I am a highly productive person. It is easy to spot the dead wood around. I have never worried about a 10% reduction in force after 40 years of working. Soo, maybe I am a little biased.
I’ve been hearing that even a little bit of deflation is so terrible from all these financial wizards all my life, and yet a modest continuous inflation is okay? Not buying it.
It relates directly to motivation of the purchaser. A slight inflation does not affect purchasing decisions, but once deflation starts, consumers begin to wait on purchases. If you were going to buy a car for example, but you knew that it would be cheaper tomorrow, and you did not need that vehicle immediately, you would delay to get the lowest price possible.
Spread over the whole economy, if these decisions persist and accumulate a spiral starts occurring, where velocity of the money circulating diminishes, services are delayed, factory orders lessen, workers bring home less money, as hours are reduced, feeding the spiral when more purchasers wait for rock bottom prices.
There’s something in the underlying premise that doesn’t quite sit right.
If velocity of money is highly correlated with the expansion of the economy, ie more productivity, more goods, essentially wealth creation. Then how is that cumulative inflation over the last century and down trending money velocity with many years of “modest” inflation and anemic economic growth in real terms not just as bad?
The cumulative effect of the inflation hasn’t been modest. The dollar has lost 98% of its value since 1913. Where did it go? The system is designed to suck the fruit of our labor, and the benefits of the increase in money velocity have been like the vig to a loan shark, or in our case, bankers; that is the cause of the anemic economic growth in real terms.
Deflation hasn’t always been bad, see the period after WWI where Harding’s policies in 1921 led to the roaring 20’s, but is generally more dangerous, and today would be a much more dangerous weapon for those stealing from us.
It is how I buy gas. If prices are trending down (or if traveling and know a lower price is ahead) I empty my tank out more before fillups. If prices are headed down or am about to exit a low price area I fill up even if if 3/4 full.
Isn’t President Trump trying to coach on a bit of deflation by getting Walmart to reduce meat and other items by 15%? Don’t have the article readily handy. But this definitely puts pressure to lower prices around this giant in order for the locals to keep their heads above water one would think. 🤔
Yes, I read that, also he hit big oil. Things that would help in the mid-terms. That isn’t the deflation of the whole economy though. Because of the lowering energy costs, and the recent allegations of price fixing by meat providers, he wants those people to pass the savings on to us deplorables.
Can’t delay the necessities.
This is not true in general, but more often than not it is. Deflation is usually because of less demand, which is usually a sign of recession and depression.
However, if there is a large across the board in increase in productivity, such as what some people predict is possible with AI, there can be deflation, which is good.
Yes. Increased efficiency – in theory – should lower costs, be a deflationary factor.
But…theory meet real world. Those “efficiency” gains are gobbled up by the stock market ownership of all things. Realized by investors, not consumers. Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street get those, not consumers.
The market is skewed, played on a slanted field, with the big money interests commanding the high ground. The market forces that say deflation is bad. Bad for their portfolio value.
Deflation or reduction in product price, can have two causes (maybe there are more). First, who sets the price. Only the producer/business set their price. So why does a price drop? 1. Demand or sales are dropping. 2. Productivity increase, allows a lower price for the same profit.
I think inflation/deflation need to be understood with these two dynamics. If all prices in an economy are going up or down – this a monetary phenomenon being expressed. This can only come from the government. Whereas a particular product may have price changes on supply/demand that can have a multitude of reasons.
It seems inflation hurts consumers and businesses at the same time – so everyone complains. But, deflation seems to initially hurt businesses first – so they start crying to the gov to do something before they have to layoff people – “think about the jobs of these poor people” So the gov props up businesses with easy money – “we did for the workers”. Thus you end up with the skewed market, with extreme valuations of these business.
The way I described it is the way the mechanism works, the cause of the initial deflation is a different subject, and I agree that it is usually caused by less demand. The last two we had were after WWI and the crash of 29, where demand lessened severely in both cases.
There may be a point we reach where some deflation is possible with a net positive, but that time is not now. It is a dangerous tool that can easily be more damaging than modest inflation, especially in the hands of the bankers that control us. Let us win the mid terms, continue to build our economy, reach the point of stability, and then go from there.
Also the cost of insurance, both home and auto, and healthcare. Hospitals claim non-profit status while the senior adminstrators makes millions. Not all hospitals are non-profit but are those that claim that status giving free healthcare to illegals?
Don’t shoot the messenger but exporting the illegals will not be done soon enough to impact the midterms which we are gonna lose. This is what the Repubes have been planning all along of course.
They do seem to be working rather hard at it too.
That’s the plan! Apparently it was looking like the Democrats would be trounced in November so the MIC created the Iran bogeyman detour to give the election back to the Democrats.
Not shooting you, but should we just give up now, as it is now useless to resist?
We are still in the fight, and the first step is to get rid of the doom and embrace the suck, or as Thomas Paine said:
“Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”
Completely agree with Sundance! Just got back from the grocery store where I refused to buy ground beef for $8.99 per pound. Don’t tell me about what the “data” says. I’m dealing with reality and reality says those spouting off about the data are FOS.
I bought some today for $4.99/lb for 85-15
$10 per 1lb here… and absolutely outrageous!
Of course you don’t say where you live. Maybe that explains it….or not!
Beef prices are pretty bad right now. Try pork. It’s still reasonably priced.
and better. Besides, not a lot of price pressure on pork because muslims don’t eat it, so they don’t buy it. People on govt checks like to eat steak on your dime, thus the upward pressure on beef.
Defund all payments to illegal aliens. Freeze the borders and refuse entry to pregnant women, require huge bonds for entry of anyone else. Get those illegal aliens OUT! of the USA. NOW.
Defund the fraud – stop all redistribution of We The Taxpayers’ coerced Federal Income tax payments. Move income taxation to the States, and let each State manage its own programs. The Federal government, which currently spends over 25% of GDP every year, needs to go back to being funded by excise taxes, tariffs, fees, and levies on the States. It needs to shrink back to its Constitutionally-mandated scope, size, and cost.
The Senate Majority Leader, aka ChiCom Mitch’s doppelgänger regrets to inform the citizenry that there aren’t 50 repugnant votes let alone 60 votes for such common sense measures…
Insert Easy Button meme!!
This is the way. Self-deportations will increase if all welfare and fraud is sharply, severely limited, and remittances taxed punitively (and blocked completely to illegals).
The problem with remittances is the illegals most likely bypass western Union and use online platforms like Cash App and other types we’ve never heard of and are hard to track. I know the senate whittled down the percentage paid to 1% tax on remittances in the BBB, when it should have been at least 10%!
Speaking of pregnant illegal immigrants. It was one of the first things the anti White worker race traitor Ronald Regeab did. Issued an executive order that each and every hospital in America SHALL admit and care for any and all pregnant women who arrive.
Strange, no progressive organization filed a lawsuit to overturn that executive order.
Reagan issuing that executive order and legalizing millions of illegals is one of the many reasons I’m not a conservative.
“Removing ten percent of the overall population is not easy, but it will -if successful- lead to more per capita wealth. Exit pressure must be maintained.”
Oddly, the Left argues a version of this point when they call for a reduction in population (consumption) regarding anthropogenic “climate change,” but pretend not to know when it comes to domestic economics.
Haha. True.
I believe that we will see good economic good news monthly until the election, maybe not exceptional, but I expect the line ‘better than experts forecast’ to appear frequently.
The regular middle class to low income American doesn’t feel any better about the economy when grocery store prices are still through the roof. Yes, gas has gone down a wee bit. Health insurance prices are still really really high, interest rates are high.
I believe in everything Trump is doing and I pray his successor can continue, and yes PLEASE DEPORT ALL OF THEM INCLUDING THE H1B VISAS. America has been like the Titanic… going down down down. It’s going to take a lot of effort and time to turn this ship around. I am hopeful.
The rule of thumb is to have per AI:
The general rule of thumb for a financial cushion or emergency fund is to save three to six months of essential living expenses. This reserve helps cover unexpected setbacks like job loss, medical emergencies, or major repairs without resorting to high-interest debt.
Its been 7 months for me…I have had 3 big trees to cut down. Major car repairs. A new lawnmower. A flooded basement. Trashed water heater and sump pump. And now need a new AC unit. That is above and beyond average ’emergencies’.
Gibbs Rule #40.
And all the gas stations in a 3 mile radius are still charging $4.19 a gallon.
All of them.
The economy is terrible…. still reeling from Biden’s BS….. nobody has any liquid money. Which means there is very little work beyond the basics. Even if you have work… the gougers who started their transient BS under Biden (that never stopped) are still sucking up more than you can make.
No inflation. …. errrr…Unless you like to eat food or put gas in your car.
Both parties want more and more legal and illegal immigration of the world’s trash. From medical and tech workers to dishwashers criminals and generational welfare parasites.
Republicans want to drive down wages for skilled workers by importing Indians and Chinese who are happy to work for about 20 percent of what White Americans earned in
1970.
Republicans also want an unlimited supply of unskilled workers to drive down wages in every occupation. Especially food from farm to supermarket to restaurants. Construction medicine everywhere. The Chamber of Commerce and Heritage Foundation are as pro anything but White American illegal immigration as the most radical democrat socialists.
The democrats want anything but White immigration for anti White racist reasons and slow genocide.
Why I’m not a conservative. Republicans want the elimination of White American workers as much as the democrat socialists do.
American economics and politics is a race war. An anti White race war.
That’s all.
Nothing to do with low wages welfare abortion gay supremacy 2 nd amendment or anything to do with all the causes conservatives embrace. They’re just distractions from the anti White American race war both parties are waging against us the White Americans
In health care, all the Pilipino nurses have made their millions and gone back home. I often wondered if the husbands worked because the women ALL had TWO jobs.
More likely burnout. Healthcare workers turnover is very high. For nurses it’s higher still. I have a family member that works in healthcare. He worked 16 hours days 7 days a week for several months before he got one day off.
It’s so bad the workers ghost the hospitals.
I’ve never been into hunting. I like animals. I think they’re too beautiful to kill.
But I do enjoy meat, so I’m grateful other raise them and hunt them.
But if there was new category added for bagging illegals and H1B’s I would definitely be interested.
Just the possibility that this would be allowed would make a huge portion of them self-deport.
Yes, I’m kidding. Okay, no, I’m not. : )
Living on a large lake, we have lots of deer. They make their rounds grazing & begging for hand outs. If I were starving, I could take one down. During season of course.

Energy prices dropped temporarily due to ceasefire.
Or…energy prices rose temporarily due to our military action to finally end Iran’s nuclear capabilities and constant state supported global terrorism.
It has always been about the out of control government spending plain and simple. That is what causes inflation. Always has, always will.
To be precise, it is the unauthorized government spending that is causing the problem right now. Then I will give you the out of control government spending a close second.
Democrat leaders are notorious control freaks, desperately trying
to manage markets. Sadly, controlled markets rarely (if ever) deliver
the best outcomes nor the most efficient use of capital. And Democrats
NEVER learn from their prior well-intentioned mistakes.
Seems like around this time of year they really like to cook the numbers to rip off the elderly’s COLA for next year. Like clock work.
“Exit pressure must be maintained “.
👊✝️👊❤️🫵
To be brutally honest, we are still in a painful cycle created by israel’s latest war of choice.
“Removing ten percent of the overall population is not easy, but it will -if successful- lead to more per capita wealth. Exit pressure must be maintained.”
Yes… but the Uniparty RINOs and Dems won’t do it. They will keep finding ways to shelter them from deportation.
Personally, I favor a cattle drive. Just round them up into camps and then march them to the border on foot.
They came on foot, they can leave on foot. Once we push them across the border, Mexico can sort them out.

Question: How will the corporate media [MSM] spin this, or will they simply ignore it – only worsening affordability is news; improving affordability is not.
