Eric MaugendreDuring 1992–2020, the USA had low and stable <a href="https://mas.to/tags/inflation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inflation</a>.Despite massive federal deficit spending, the Fed met its 2% inflation target (or missed below it) for most of this era. How come? There were no serious shortage of resources. (Thanks to: no cold war, globalization, bad working conditions, stable commodity supply, increase of greenhouse effect.)<a href="https://mas.to/tags/money" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#money</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/deficit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deficit</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/debt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#debt</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/interestRates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#interestRates</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/yields" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yields</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/price" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#price</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/pricing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pricing</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/prices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prices</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/value" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#value</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/markup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#markup</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economy</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/economics101" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics101</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/MMT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MMT</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPI</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/commodities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#commodities</a>

RaymondPierreL3“Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed Australia would not retaliate with tariffs of its own, but said the US president's tariffs were an act of "economic self-harm".<a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-12/australia-reacts-us-steel-tariffs-poor-friend-partner/105040948" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-12/australia-reacts-us-steel-tariffs-poor-friend-partner/105040948</a>That is the right call.

What would be effective retaliation is for a consumer <a href="https://aus.social/tags/boycott" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boycott</a> of all US products. Just don’t buy any of their shit folks! Starting with Govt purchases (I.e. cancel <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AUKUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AUKUS</a> )Another great retaliatory trade tactic is the imposition of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Quotas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Quotas</a> on all US goods and services.

Sarah G. Carpenter, Ph.D.<a href="https://me.dm/tags/TrumpSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrumpSpeech</a> "the most successful economy in the history of our country" FOR WHOM???? Like I don't remember gettin' rich or even really getting by. The stock market is NOT the economy, stupid. <a href="https://me.dm/tags/Economics101" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Economics101</a> The April Fool's thing is admittedly clever.

Democrats AbroadUnfortunately, some voters believed Trump’s promise to lower prices, but how? His tariffs will raise costs.If Biden couldn’t magically cut prices, how can Trump? His claims are smoke and mirrors, not solutions.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Economics101" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Economics101</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Truth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Truth</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocratsAbroad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DemocratsAbroad</a>
