It does seem like inflation is a concern.

We heard that from Walmart today that it's got to pass through these tariff costs somehow.

Are you not worried that we have a rise in inflation that hits lower income workers especially hard if we continue to cut rates?

Don't we lose some of those dollars if we continue to see 3% plus inflation?

On top of the inflation that we saw during the Biden administration, prices continue to climb for everything from food to housing.

Isn't that a concern if we continue to cut rates that we throw more fuel on that inflation fire?

One of the other things the president is talking about is sending middle to lower income Americans rebate checks from the tariffs, which have been behind a lot of the inflation that we've seen.

So giving some of that money back to those earning a little bit less.

Do you support that $2,000 check push?

You certainly ask interesting questions.
