That's the low inflation
Lying again.Interesting your opinion visualised some backwoods, phoneless, tech-less Hill Billy and not the millions of inner city poor folk being crushed by Trumps cruel and incompetent fiscal policies.
Affecting the wealthy more my arse.
Not opinion, silly little man. We all see your immediate reversion to posting straw-man argument excrement because the numbers disagree with you, so far. You really are a disgusting pos aren't you?
They post the numbers. Start reading them instead your own imaginings.
No forum wants you.
2.8% per annum is not high inflation.
Listen to what the FED people are saying. They're highly critical of T and know what they're talking about. They're sill waiting and seeing, and not seeing a significant rise in inflation yet.
I'm no supporter of Trump, but there's a whole mass of made-up junk thrown about.
Obviously those with higher income benefit more from percentage derived tax cuts, that's obvious.
The USA is a capitalist system, so some people get more, get over it. No point arguing against that. It's constructive not evil.
Those earning more pay more tax, and T has measures to give those at the bottom lower amounts or lower rates. Normal really.
The richer are complaining - see SALT tax caps.
If you look through his BBill, there are many things like those caps on SALT taxes, which mean the richer do not benefit more.
Yes he's making the ill pay more, as I said. That's horrible.
He's got a theme of encouraging people to join work schemes rather than sitting on the old hand-out schemes, benefitting as he puts it, the idle.
Just checked the Trump-hostile CHatGPT. Yes egg prices in shops did come down but nowhere near as much as he claimed (400% !!).
Most are expecting the picture to change - so things get worse - it just really hasn't happened yet, and all things considered, it's obviously bogus to pre-announce when it isn't true.
We have to use the numbers put out by the administration, though even Trump is saying they're faked now, when they don't suit him.

Probably not comparing like with like. You didn't give a link. The LLMAIs usually get figures right, they can look them up. I just found from B Of L statistics, CHicken up 3.4% on the year, beef a higher certainly, for eggs it depends what dates you use.
Even beef inflation is a lot less that ours. Grocery Gazette (!) says it's 20.96%, 19.92% for lamb, here.
US Core inflation is still pretty low - by their gov figures you quoted.
I haven't checked if USA or UK import much beef which could potentially have tariffs.
Bottom line - USA doesn't have a problem with inflation - yet. I wouldn't mind a bet that they will if trump gets his way on fiscal controls.
{Edit: it's just on Bloomberg that beef prices are up because of dry conditions. Is that a rain tariff?
What's our bloody excuse for 20%?]
And Reuters are saying there's no evidence for tariff driven inflation. WHIch is odd when they published this in June.
I've heard the word "disinflation" about a thousand times in the last month, hardly ever before.
It may be the SERVICES sector which gets tied up, in the USA

I gave my official link.
But rising, if you look at the last 3 months.
Different opinion to other financial sources and opinion.
Trumps policies are affecting the lower paid:
1) tariffs increase costs of staple goods, especially food. construction materials etc
2) Trumps immigration policies are damaging agriculture, so increasing food prices
3) Trumps interference in oil is increasing cost of gas, which in turn is increasing electricity prices
4) Trumps trade wars is causing massive loss of tourism which affects lots of American workers in tourists areas
5) Trumps slashing of public services is damaging the most vulnerable.
6) Trumps dismantling of affordable healthcare is cutting people access to healthcare.
Ironically the people most affected by Trumps Project 2025 destruction of America are Trump voters......same with Reform party supporters.

Utter bollax. Trump's fiscal policies are a brazen gift to the wealthy and are utterly devastating to the poor.
You are talking rubbish.
firstly post 45 isnt an actual link and secondly it is talking about a year ago trump never came to power till january so put the prices up from after he came to power

And you haven't managed to find anything that contradicts the facts, and you have tried. Are you trying to suggest that prices went up so high between july and december last year that it has skewed the figures ?
I say again. Facts from a recognised source. I stated the source.
i have put the link up to how the prices have been for the past ten years not my fault you struggle with how to work a simple graph out .
No your comment was prices have gone up under trump and then used a yearly figure when he wasnt actually in power for at least 6 months of the time . And to help you out trump came to power 20th of jan not the 1st
