During that time he's going to have to convince enough republicans to stick with it and that's what his concern obviously is. A lot of republicans are concerned about losing their seats and states that are significantly impacted by some of these tariffs Still that's a fair minute of time to work with and as long as he can find something that each of them want he should be able to negotiate support 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

Producer Price Index comes in hotter than expected in January Feb. 27, 2026 8:32 AM ETBy: Liz Kiesche, SA News Editor Share Save Play(2min) Comments (72) Follow Seeking Alpha on Google for the latest stock news The U.S. Producer Price Index increased 0.5% M/M in January, hotter than the +0.3% consensus and +0.4% in December (revised from +0.5%), according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday. On a Y/Y basis, PPI rose 2.9% Y/Y vs. +2.6% consensus and +3.0% prior. Core PPI (excluding food and energy) advanced +0.8% M/M vs. +0.3% consensus and +0.6% prior (revised from +0.7%). That translated to a 3.6% Y/Y increase, compared with the +3.0% consensus and +3.3% in December. Both headline and core PPI indicate that inflation at the wholesale level remains elevated as businesses continue to navigate economic uncertainty. That contrasts with the Consumer Price Index, which came in slightly cooler than expected in January. The numbers indicate that businesses are still facing pricing pressure, which could flow through to consumers in coming months. The index for final demand services rose 0.8% M/M in January, the largest increase since +0.9% in July 2025. Most of that increase comes from trade services, which jumped 2.5%. Prices for final demand transportation and warehousing services climbed 1.0%. Excluding trade, transportation, and warehousing services, the final demand services index was unchanged from December. Prices for final demand goods slipped 0.3% M/M in January, representing the biggest decrease since a 0.7% decline in March 2025. Final demand energy fell 2.7%, and prices for final demand foods slid 1.5%. Gasoline accounted for 80% of the decline in final demand goods. Excluding energy and food, the index for goods rose 0.7% M/M, the BLS said. Quote

The Canadian Industrial Product Price Index (IPPI) reached a record high of 137.40 points in January 2026, driven by a 4.9% year-over-year increase in December 2025, marking 15 consecutive months of gains. Significant upward pressure came from surging prices for gold, silver, and agricultural products like meat. Statistique Canada +2 Key details regarding the Canadian Producer Price Index (IPPI) as of early 2026: Performance: The IPPI increased to 137.40 in January 2026, up from 133.80 in December 2025. Key Drivers: Increases were largely driven by higher prices for unwrought gold, silver, and platinum group metals, which rose over 50-100% in late 2025. Other Sectors: Food products, particularly fresh and frozen beef and poultry, contributed significantly to rising costs. Components: The IPPI measures "factory gate" prices (excluding taxes and transportation), while the Raw Materials Price Index (RMPI) tracks costs for manufacturers. Trends: The IPPI experienced consistent, sustained year-over-year growth through 2025 and into 2026. Statistique Canada +5 1 Quote

Consumer price index is down, but it looks like the producers are currently still Bearing some of that pain. So in the future they may have to raise prices which will put upward pressure on inflation unless something offsets that That's not brilliant news but it's not terrible news either. The issue at that point is wages, are wages going up to match or exceed the inflationary pressure. Currently wages went up about 3.5 perecent this month year over year. up again from December. So definitely higher than inflation. Now it's not like everyone gets a raise every month, but if wages outpace inflation it takes a lot of the bite out of inflation which ALSO doesn't affect everyone equally. His biggest problem is that the markets and the economy are still unstable due to him introducing instability.

What did, or do you expect? Minimal Savings: While advertised to help with rising living costs, some estimates suggest the average tax saving is significantly lower than initial claims, often amounting to less than $20 a month. Reduced Credit Value: Dropping the tax rate reduces the value of non-refundable tax credits (like the disability or caregiver credit) tied to that rate, potentially offsetting the savings for some taxpayers. Limited Impact on Affordability: Critics argue the modest tax cuts fail to address the core affordability crisis, such as housing and food prices, and do not provide the substantial relief necessary for the middle class. Targeted Beneficiaries: The cut is designed to benefit those in the lowest tax bracket, with two-income families potentially saving up to $840 per year when the 1% rate reduction is fully implemented in 2026. www.pm.gc.ca +5 Just more borrowing without addressing the core problem of Liberal ineptitude.

Those files, even if missing, were never deemed credible enough to do anything with and you still have enough files released to know about it.

Wow i must have really upset you with the truth, you went straight to having sexual fantasies again Seriously dude look at yourself. At this point everyone's laughing at you. Everything I said was 100% true and easily verified. Nor was it some glowing review of trump at all, it just pointed out that it wasn't all that bad either. And for some reason that simple truth upset you so badly but you started having fantasies about men having oral sex with other men.
