Unemployment is at a 4.1:
The unemployment rate of 4.1% is considered low. It indicates a healthy labor market, as low unemployment rates typically signify strong job growth and economic stability.

So another word all three of those thing you listed you either made up or you have a bad source for your news.

You want to believe their propaganda BS it's your prerogative . Tariffs will kill off a good number of small business's.

I own an insurance agency and while I don't have to deal with tariffs but inflation the past years has had a big affect on rates. My good friend owns a fabrication shop and has to deal with tariffs I thought. When I asked him he said they had zero affect as he pays more for US steel already.

Inflation is up.

The latest PCE report indicates a rise in inflation, with prices increasing by 2.6% in June compared to a year ago, up from 2.4% in May. This increase is partially attributed to tariffs imposed by President Trump, which are pushing some prices higher according to CBS News, reports Reuters.

As for your friend................
US steel prices are up primarily due to the recent increase in tariffs on imported steel, making domestic steel more attractive and allowing producers to raise prices. Additionally, rising demand, driven by factors like infrastructure projects and increased manufacturing activity, is also contributing to higher prices.

Inflation of 2.6 oh boy we saw inflation as high as 9.1 under Biden. How in the hell can the left even bring up inflation after what we saw from Biden?

2022 7.5 7.9 8.5 8.3 8.6 9.1 8.5 8.3 8.2 7.7 7.1 6.5 8.0
2021 1.4 1.7 2.6 4.2 5.0 5.4 5.4 5.3 5.4 6.2 6.8 7.0 4.7

2021 1.4 1.7 2.6 4.2 5.0 5.4 5.4 5.3 5.4 6.2 6.8 7.0 4.7

Biden and the Democrats passed those spending bills, paid people’s rent, delayed student loans, handed out grants, paid off teachers union hundreds of millions, record rent food prices and elevated energy prices

Then Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen to stood shoulder to shoulder with Biden and lied to the American people saying there is no inflation, then well it’s transitory before admitting there was an inflation problem.

You saw inflation related to Covid which the right wing nuts never acknowledge and the Left brings it up because trump said he stopped it, he lied.

Inflation was a worldwide issue during and after covid.

Its the pretending like this was some uniquely American problem that bugs me.

And for the record, companies are thrilled that you defend them for free because they kept hiking their prices due to greed yet they had people like you blaming inflation for it. In public it was all "times are tough, we have to do more with less" but at the shareholder meetings it's patting each other on the back for record breaking profits.

Did you have this same concern when the ACA was passed?

ACA wasn't a tariff , focus.

Why would I be concerned that more people are eligible for health Insurance?

Because ACA hurt small business more then anything I can think of over the past 10 years. If an employer had 10 employees which he provided health care he saw premium increase over a 100%which would have been an increase of about $6000 a month with 10 employees.

Millions more can afford health care, my employer figured it out. It's the bigger picture and what is better for all Americans.

Well, there was a concern about being able to keep your doctors and death panels. One of the two was a valid concern.
