Just like they have done throughout England, they will do the same here.

Hokie I asked early but did not see your response. You said that tariffs would make inflation go up in the 3rd quarter of 2025. Per you, due to inventories companies brought in earlier in the year. Inflation did not go up in the 3rd quarter. Why do you think this is? When will tariffs start to impact inflation?

Is this supposed to be some sort of gotcha question?

Tariffs have already started to impact inflation, it's just uneven because of the Administration's janky and scattershot rollout/pullback/rollout/pullback tariff schizophrenia.

Here's an illustration from that bastion of woke economic data, the nearly-century-old nonpartisan Tax Foundation:



Trump Tariffs Raising Prices for Consumers

So tariffs have already raised some prices, and prices are expected to keep going up.

Here's the fundamental question - when are tariffs and more broadly this Administration's economic policies going to start benefiting Americans, and in what ways?

Are American consumers going to ever see a benefit from tariffs?

When do you think the biggest impact will be?

As I shared before I am doing a lot of work with companies that are not raising prices, instead are going after market share. You said I am a small company with a small sample size. My "small" company is doing work in the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, UK, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Germany (all since the 2nd quarter of this year), with a common theme of not raising prices.

Again it was not a gotcha question as much as comparing what I am doing with what others "think" will happen.

More companies are not passing on tariffs costs right now because of how unsure they are at what the final rate is going to be. The administration keeps changing the rates. This is not what has happened in the past. Eventually, the tax man will get his money, and it appears that it will be a more gradual rise in tariff taxes passed onto consumers. So I was wrong there would be a big adjustment. But there is and will still be an adjustment Congrats I guess?

We will be paying more for everything for the long term than we should be, at a reduced quality and selection of goods. The inefficiencies of a tariff driven market will impact the abilities for businesses to sustain growth. All of that is proven time and time again in the US and other foreign markets.

We have set up the next 10-20 years to now achieve growth that will be way less than is needed to sustain our levels of deficit spending.

Prices may have gone up due to tariffs, but inflation did not. As Friedman famously pointed out, inflation is purely due to money supply. Price hikes and inflation are not the same thing and it's crucial to understand the difference because in another context, politicos depend on that confusion to inflate the money supply without getting blamed for it. It's easier and absolutely essential for them to blame price hikes on anything but money creation.

Yes, inflation went up due to tariffs.

Grocery prices had their biggest increase in 3 years in August-September. Furniture is up big. Electronics are up. Clothing is up.

Shelter makes up over a third of the CPI so it has very outsized impact and is a big part of why you're not seeing more of an aggregate CPI increase.

While groceries and other consumer goods are increasing notably, shelter inflation is at a 3-year low. That disinflation trend is serving as a counterbalance to the increased consumer costs in the aggregate but it also disguises the significant increases in the costs of many consumer goods.

and... if the new tariff dollars, plus a significant reduction in spending will happen, simultaneously, the value of the dollar may save us all from these price increase... See Oldsouler's post above. The most critical aspect of our economy, for everyone is a reduction in deficit spending, then the paying down of the debts face value.
