Trump and his cronies seem to be prepping MAGA world to accept higher prices [View all]
Trump and his cronies seem to be prepping MAGA world to accept higher prices (MSNBC)Republicans seem to be priming their followers to accept price increases.
House Speaker Mike Johnson made some revealing remarks Monday, as House Republicans held a summit at President Donald Trump’s privately owned resort in Doral, Florida. Asked whether the new administration’s anti-immigration raids, and Trump’s immigration enforcement plan more broadly, risked harming the economy, the Louisiana Republican said: “I hope not; I don’t think so.” Johnson went on to say, “We are going to restore law and order at any cost, and I think we owe that to the people.”
“At any cost” sure sounds like it could mean “higher costs” for American consumers.
Economic experts have said Trump’s immigration plans are almost certain to hurt the labor market and drive up prices. During the presidential campaign, Trump and his supporters essentially stuck their fingers in their ears and denied such predictions. In his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, the then-candidate said: “Starting on Day 1, we will drive down prices and make America affordable again.”
