Again, even if they work in agriculture jobs if they would be payed fairly, Americans wouldn't buy that food because it would radically jack up the prices (as explained before, by at least 500% to make up for the much higher salary of the workers). By that point, food is either becoming a luxury or you'd have to import from abroad to avoid food prices from exploding.

Not true at all, food will see small increases overall. Get rid of welfare, food stamps, section 8 housing, etc will make food prices and housing go down significantly. Those social programs jacked up the price of all products artificially. Not to mention we will have a bigger work force which will also drive down prices of products.

Now explain to me how things that have zero effect on food prices like welfare and housing would have any effect on food prices. As for the food for food stamps, less than point one percent of all the food in the US are used in this program, so removing those would have no real measurable effect on the prices.

Consumer prices rose in June as President Donald Trump’s tariffs began to slowly work their way through the U.S. economy.

US inflation heated back up in June, with higher prices – including those from President Trump's tariffs – starting to pack a bigger punch.

Economy is going brilliantly guys, the stock market is high!

I see the cult is starting to fall in line already, one at a time until it's only people like MTG screaming into the void all alone.

He had planned to return to Ireland in December, but was briefly unable to fly due to a health issue, his medical records show. He was only three days overdue to leave the US when an encounter with police landed him in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) custody.

From there, what should have been a minor incident became a nightmarish ordeal: he was detained by Ice in three different facilities, ultimately spending roughly 100 days behind bars with little understanding of why he was being held – or when he’d get out.

Must be another one of those poor little "accidents" because forcing a man who overstayed by 3 days to then stay 100 extra days in America makes more sense than just putting him on the nearest flight back to Ireland. In all seriousness, they simply want to be cruel and nothing more, they could have easily put him on a flight to Ireland but instead decide to be cunts for 100 days.

The World Cup drama will be something else, I wonder how many drunken Football fans will accidentally overstay, Lol.

On the other side of tarifs to raise competitor prices are farm subsidies to lower domestic prices.

https://usafacts.org/articles/federal-farm-subsidies-what-data-says/

9.3 billion a year spend on keeping farms afloat, 6% of farm income is 'social assistance'. Farms operate with zero margins, any increase in wages either comes from the consumer or from the tax payer in subsidies. 

But it will mostly lead to people eating cheaper more unhealthy food, increasing healthcare costs.

If you want lower 'welfare' costs you should attack the private/corporate health sector that artificially keeps healthcare in the USA the most expensive in the world thanks to big pharma lobbying. (For example, in 2023, the US spent $13,432 per person, while the comparable country average was $7,393)

Social programs do not drive up prices, tax cuts do however. For example in The Netherlands housing prices soared when mortgages turned into tax deductible 'investments'. Since you could deduct the interest paid on a mortage from your income, originally intended to increase home ownership, house prices went up as people stopped baying back their mortage, instead banking on the tax deductions on the interest while leaving the mortage to be payed back when selling the house (for expected profit).

Tax cuts increase inequality as they most benefit those already well off. 
Social programs decrease inequality.
Inequality drives up prices and inflation.

It's not as simple as stated above but in general that is the effect we have been seeing in many countries.

Charlie Kirk went from wanting the Epstein list exposed to now saying he won't talk about any more. It's disgusting. I'm fully convinced if Trump was caught red handed with his name all over the Epstein files, at least a quarter of MAGA would still support him since he would only have to say the 2 magical words: "fake news", and they would believe him.
