Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Fri Jan 9 15:00:08 2026, in response to 4th Quarter GDP, posted by TRAIN DUDE on Fri Jan 9 13:47:02 2026. When President Donald J. Trump announced widespread tariffs in April 2025, many economists expected inflation to quickly rise and the economy to slow. Neither has happened, at least not to the extent predicted, the Journal said.Despite a barrage of new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration this year on dozens of U.S. trade partners, the prices of goods and services across the U.S. have defied many economists' expectations and remained relatively stable. The Wall Street Journal reported that Federal Reserve economists looked at tariffs from 1886 to 2017 and found that they usually didn’t cause inflation to spike. If anything, they slowed it. And economists at Northwestern, who studied the U.S. economy from 1840 to 2024, said that tariffs do increase inflation, but not by much. |
