The inflation is super low as it is.
But I suppose, you know, any reduction might mean that there could be lower prices on certain things.
And I'm guessing that's what the reaction would be about.
Just because it means, you know, more trade potentially and maybe lower prices for things.
Because, you know, but I just...
I tend to think like all these economists and even Wall Street analysts are getting it wrong because what we've actually seen is it hasn't impacted prices that much.
It hasn't impacted inflation nearly what these Nobel Prize winning economists were predicting.
And so taking them away is probably not going to necessarily reduce prices either.
It's probably just going to increase profits for the companies in other countries.
And it also obviously makes it less
It takes away one of our levers of power to negotiate better deals on things.
I really don't know what this is going to mean for doing trade deals now because if the Supreme Court is basically saying Trump can't do that, well, who is going to do it?
I don't think we're going to have Congress negotiating with all these countries.
So I'm not really sure where we go from here.
Certainly it could be related to that.
I mean, the stock market definitely doesn't like uncertainty.
They don't like volatility or big changes that we don't know which way it's going to go.
And so anytime something is resolved, it could have a positive impact on the stock market, but it's not necessarily going to benefit real people.
It's not going to benefit the middle class or the lower classes necessarily.
In terms of affordability, nearly as much as I think people are thinking probably.
