The pain is acute because price increases are outpacing wage gains for most American households, especially those with lower incomes. The gap between wage growth for the most affluent & least affluent households has been larger this year than at any time in the past decade, according to Bank of America Institute, which uses proprietary data from the bank’s enormous customer base.

#Trump also has been rolling back #FederalPrograms that help households make ends meet. His signature domestic policy law, passed in July, will reduce access to #Medicaid & #FoodStamps. Because of Trump’s opposition to an extension of #HealthInsurance subsidies, millions of Americans will soon face sharply higher premiums.

Earlier this year, #Trump blithely suggested that Americans could cope with the impact of #tariffs by purchasing fewer toys for their children. “Well, maybe the children will have 2 dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know? And maybe the 2 dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.”

Reducing illegal #immigration is a worthy goal, its long-term economic effects are complex. But #Trump’s cruel, chaotic campaign to deport & drive out undocumented immigrants is creating #labor shortages that in turn increase #prices. It is part of the reason #food prices were rising at an annual pace of 3.1% as of September, the last data released *before* the government shutdown.

“But the policies they’ve chosen have created extra costs for businesses, & businesses tend to pass on costs,” Sahm added.
The cost of #Trump’s policies is likely to increase in the coming months.
His most inflationary policy is his campaign to build a wall of #tariffs around the US #economy. Tariffs are #taxes on imports, & they are *initially* paid by the businesses that bring goods into the #US.

One way to see the impact is to track #inflation over the past year. As the effects of the pandemic have worn off, the pace of price increases declined from an annual rate of 3% in January to 2.3% in April. Then, as #Trump’s policies started to take effect, inflation rebounded to 3%. “In some ways, this administration could have come in & done nothing & made progress on inflation,” said Claudia Sahm, a longtime #FederalReserve economist who now works at New Century Advisors, an investment firm.
The annual rate of #inflation was 3% in Sept—almost exactly the same as it was on Inauguration Day.
Trump’s failure was predictable. #Prices almost never fall across the entire #economy. When they do, it tends to be because of a crisis, such as the #GreatDepression. Trump is responsible for misleading people. But he has not merely failed to keep an impossible promise. Trump has pursued policies, starting with #tariffs, that are making the problem worse by making life in the #US less #affordable.

Preiselastizität bei Essen=0, Verzicht=hungern und Warenkorb #Preissteigerung " #Inflation " (eigent. selbstbeschleunigende Steigerung) - von #Journalismus und #Politik beruft sich auf eine bestimmte Warenkorb Definition.
Essen hat " gefühlte Inflation "?
Oder die Definition könnte kacke sein.
