  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Wow, he inherited good economy with decreasing inflation and is raising tariffs, laying off tens of thousands, and, through his own fault, messing it up.

Besides what some may say, our economy wasn't good to begin with. Inflation on producer prices PPI also went down for last month. Using economic data to toot your man's horn will bite you in the end; that's why many say we might be in a stagflation period and are currently headed for a recession accelerated by tariffs. All prices go down when in a recession which is good but unemployment goes up.

The best way to look at economic data is to look at trends from charts. The trend has flatlined since late 2022.

Consumer prices will take some time to come down. This is why Trump won.

Consumption is important for GDP and is why Trump won too many people aren't making the wages to keep up with inflation.
