Yeah, I mean, my general view is we overweight the value of manufacturing in the U.S.
across the board.
I guess.
But whatever, let's say you grant people the objective of, like, we want this manufacturing renaissance.
We want to make more robot vacuums so cute little babies and cats can ride around with them and create YouTube content, whatever, with an American-made vacuum.
We're doing everything we can to undermine the possibility for U.S.
companies to build products like that.
Thanks for having me.
Catherine Rampell, I'm the economics editor at The Bulwark, and I'm also an anchor at MSNOW, formerly known as MSNBC.
Yeah, that's pretty much accurate.
To be fair, prices of individual things can fluctuate.
You mentioned housing when there was a big housing bust, for example.
If an oil refinery goes offline, oil prices, gasoline prices might shoot up.
And then once that refinery comes back online, the prices might go down.
Same thing for other supply shocks like bird flu.
Bird flu happens, all the chickens die, chicken prices go up, egg prices go up.
Once those flocks are replenished, then you start to see prices come back down again.
So it's not as if there's no such thing as like fluctuation for individual products, particularly really volatile things that are vulnerable to supply shocks like energy and food.
But the overall price level, so like in aggregate all of the things across an economy, that basically never comes down.
You are spending more today than you did a year ago, than you did 10 years ago, than you did 20 years ago.
