I actually think this Administration is using it as one way of promoting their ‘America First’ agenda by making it more expensive for other countries to dump product, and it makes U.S. produced goods more competitive. It’s also helping control interest on the debt. I agree inflation is a tax, and a weaker dollar contributes to inflation. That’s the tightrope the Fed is walking right now. For about 2 decades, we had a ridiculous monetary policy of almost 0%. It was going to come back around in all areas from interest, to investments, to goods—which passes down to services. One way to attempt to help inflation is to pay down our debt. Again, the weaker dollar helps. But—for it to really help—spending must also be cut. Your Friedman links are exactly correct. Inflation will never be tamed until we lower our debt, and inflation is a hidden tax.

Just know I saw almost every BU game the last 2 seasons. I’m not here to talk negative about the kid. Just know I’ve seen him starting out as a freshman, I’ve seen his progression. I’ve seen stuff he’s good at. I’ve seen things he needs to work on. But to say he was not utilized is just false.

I get what you’re saying but if that graph is accurate or even close to accurate every politician in DC would be fired if they went record and voted for a 50% tax increase which is what happened here through inflation. It’s a way for them to keep over spending by trillions without having their name tied to a vote to increase taxes and being held accountable. As I said before government served government. Our government is broken.

Very good hire.

Double-edged sword. A weaker dollar helps our GDP, tax revenues, debt repayment, social safety net programs, exports & trade deficit. A weaker dollar also helps us fight currency manipulation from China and others as they try to flood our markets with cheap goods. But, it makes us pay more for those imported goods. Two schools of thought on the dollar valuation. Various Administrations view the strength or weakness of the dollar differently. If people buy more U.S. goods, a weaker dollar is actually a good thing. Otherwise, it hurts U.S. consumers...especially with tariffs added. If the dollar weakens too much, it can create a global recession as the U.S. consumer could draw back on purchases that companies/countries dump into our markets. We are the catch-all for the global economy. WE cause global recessions. Not the other way around. It will stay that way unless/until the dollar is no longer the world's reserve currency.

I responded to you in the same manner to prove to the administrator that it was my own words. I can easily explain but the point is mute. Mr. Regan called me out and cheered on the sideline when he couldn't back up what he acused me of. A simple apology would have been appropriate. It is real easy to prove plagiarism. I have proven it on this forum and provided the source.

Guess this is the best Trump could get since everyone is bailing on him. Lol

Because your post had a different size and style font from all the other posts (including some of yours) it makes it look like it was copied and paste. This post I quoted of yours has a normal style and font size. But this one doesn't: Cute. Are you accusing me? I stand by it. If you find it you can ban me. You are the administrator, I have no reason to lie. The difference is what makes one think it was copied and paste. That's all I am saying.

yes but but lol
