. . .

The US inflation rate HAS decreased - and K will try
to claim some kind of credit. Dunno how much her cohorts
are just, temporarily, restraining inflation. A day after
the election and it will all go seriously bad again.
Dems are keen on making all TOTALLY DEPENDENT on
the Deep State for survival - everybody must be
Welfare Slaves (except that few 'elite', of course).

Also, there's already been terrible DAMAGE caused by
Biden-era inflation. "Slowing" doesn't FIX that -
Joe America IS substantially poorer now and is likely
to REMAIN that way.

Trump kinda promises DE-flation. There are good, and
bad, aspects to that. Very bad for lots of biz who
will have to sell below cost, but good for Joe America
and his normal bills.

Either approach represents more "socialism" - govt
micro-management of biz/economy to achieve various
political objectives without concern to the strict
math of economies.

"Socialism" never seems to work out long-term alas.
Too 'artificial', unreal. All "bread & circuses"
and no "2+2=4". The EU, esp UK, is now in the
horrible-death part of 'socialism'. Post-WW2
profits have gone away, no glorious future, no
triumphant expansion. Debts pile up and up ...
until implosion.

As for deflation ... the risks ARE known. However
it's the ONLY way to break the cycle of ever-
escalating greed/price. Everybody wants a raise,
but how do the middle-men get a raise ? By
inflating prices, and again and again. So long
as they can get away with that ......
