Quote from: neurosis on April 09, 2025, 04:38 AMI remember cracking a joke a few weeks in about Trump saying "When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One". I think it was James who said "give him a few months".

I'm starting to think that bringing prices down, for groceries or anything else, might not be a priority.  :whistle:

Then again, I have no idea what his game plan is. All I can do is guess. :shrug: 
China's new tariffs on US food should increase supply here at home, so what's your point?

Watching Elon spat with Navarro over the tariffs has been interesting.  :lol: 

"Tech billionaire Elon Musk slammed President Trump's trade adviser Peter Navarro on Tuesday, calling him "truly a moron" in their latest spat over the administration's new import taxes."
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

The tariffs are likely to increase grocery prices in the US, not reduce them? I thought that the point was clear?

Have you seen a report saying that the tariffs are going to start bringing prices down?

More taxes and more government control. Is this what Republicans really want?

Corn and soybeans are down, which are ingredients in a lot of foods. Cattle and pork prices have dropped a little because we export a lot of beef and pork. I don't know if any of these prices will translate to lower prices at the grocery stores though.

I thought Trump devastated our soybean market during his first term?
