Egg Prices have plummeted as Trump saved the chickens. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna196401 After surging for much of the year, egg prices have declined sharply over the past week as consumers pulled back on purchases, allowing supplies to resettle at more normal volumes. The result: The average cost of a dozen large white eggs is now $4.90, compared with an all-time high of $8.64 on March 5, the United States Department of Agriculture said Thursday.

Doesn’t appear to be much of any fiscal conservative or debt reducing or spending reduction in this CR. Budget Deficit is up over 2 trillion and climb. What are they doing with all the Doge savings? Spending it?

These tariffs will only work if Trump puts the money back into “the no taxes on tips or overtime” policy. If he doesn’t do that he is making all Americans worse off.

Already been there and on its way down.

Ya. How low is it going to go? I thinks it’s going below 40 this year if all trumps rhetoric comes to fruition.

When is the Dow going to hit 40,000? This year or next or ever?

Energy prices increasing across the US and outpacing inflation on increases. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Energy-Costs-Surge-Across-the-United-States.amp.html

Yep both income tax and property tax have gone down in my state the past 5 years.

I may be wrong but I think personal savings rates were up under Covid stimulus as well as people had money to pay off/down credit cards. Most people that have enough tax obligations to cover the $5k tax refund are probably sticking it away or paying down debt they have acquired since the COVID stimulus faucet ran dry. I don’t believe it would do much for inflation as people are going to run out and buy a bunch of eggs or gas or diesel. Mine will just go as a small windfall payment on my mortgage so it wont do anything towards inflation. Just my opinion of course.

I doubt everyone would get it since Musk said taxpayer. Large portion of the population aren’t income taxpayers so they shouldnt get a tax refund as they pay no income tax anyways.

Got 2 dozen today at Costco for $7.99.

Months and months and 10’s of thousands of dollars in costs. https://www.thedrive.com/news/gms-broken-6-2l-v8s-are-stranding-owners-for-weeks-as-replacement-engine-pipeline-dries-up

Sounds like GM is having trouble keeping up with blown up small blocks. Dealers are even resorting to Cuba style vehicle repairs to get its customers vehicles off lifts and back on the road https://gmauthority.com/blog/2025/02/gm-cant-keep-up-with-6-2l-v8-engine-replacements/amp/ Reports of engine failures have surged, leaving many owners stranded with disabled vehicles and no clear timeline for repairs. GM dealerships are also facing the impact, with some resorting to hoarding replacement engines for high-priority customers, leaving others to fend for themselves. Social media posts indicate that dealers are now attempting in-house rebuilds as well, despite GM’s recommendation to avoid such practices.

Appears they have a longevity of about 4 miles. Legendary!!! https://www.motor1.com/news/749259/cadillac-escalade-v8-engine-failure/

He’s built his business to be tariff proof and built his manufacturing facilities in places that matter. Tariff’s will likely benefit him greatly and gives him a huge advantage over the other auto manufacturers.
