Жизнь и налоги при Трампе

[JamesBond]

Prices are rising overall, with inflation remaining sticky despite some moderation. The annual inflation rate is currently at 2.3%, which is the closest it's been to the Federal Reserve's 2% target since the post-pandemic inflation surge, according to Bankrate. However, cumulative inflation, which is the total increase in prices since the pandemic, is significant, with prices being 23.6% more expensive today than they were before the pandemic, according to Bankrate.

Recent economic policies, like those implemented during the Trump administration, have a complex mix of intended and unintended effects. For example, tariffs are expected to raise consumer prices, potentially leading to higher inflation, while also increasing the cost of imported goods. Other policies, such as deregulation, can have far-reaching consequences for environmental regulations and other areas.

such as - higher economic growth, lower inflation, higher productivity, higher business formation & inward investment from other countries.

Tariffs, which are taxes on imported goods, can lead to higher inflation by increasing the prices of those goods, potentially making them more expensive for consumers. This impact can be particularly pronounced if tariffs are widely implemented or if the cost of imports is a significant part of the overall economy.
Here's a more detailed look at how tariffs can affect inflation:
1. Increased Input Costs:

Tariffs on imported goods, like raw materials or components, can increase the cost of production for domestic businesses.
These businesses might then pass on these increased costs to consumers in the form of higher prices.

2. Reduced Supply and Higher Prices:

Tariffs can make imported goods less competitive, potentially reducing the availability of certain products.
This reduced supply can drive up prices as consumers compete for fewer available items.

3. Impact on Specific Industries:

Tariffs on specific goods can have a more direct and immediate impact on the prices of those products.

For example, tariffs on steel and aluminum could lead to higher prices for these materials, affecting industries that rely on them.

4. Anticipated Inflationary Effects:

Tariffs can create uncertainty in the market, leading to expectations of higher inflation.

Consumers might rush to purchase goods before prices increase, further driving up demand and prices.
Businesses might anticipate higher costs and raise prices in advance, even before the tariffs take full effect.

5. Monetary Policy Response:

Central banks like the Federal Reserve might consider tightening monetary policy to combat inflation caused by tariffs.
This could involve raising interest rates, which can further impact the economy and potentially lead to a recession.

6. Potential for Wage Increases:

If tariffs lead to higher prices, workers might demand higher wages to maintain their purchasing power.
This could lead to a wage-price spiral, where higher wages lead to higher prices, further fueling inflation.

7. Uncertainty and Economic Impact:

Tariffs can create uncertainty in the economy, potentially leading to reduced investment and business activity.

This uncertainty can also lead to slower economic growth and potentially higher unemployment.

зачем тогда Байден это делал?

President Biden has continued and, in some cases, increased tariffs on Chinese imports, a policy that began under the Trump administration.

Here's a breakdown:

1. Continuation of Trump-era Tariffs:
Biden has largely maintained the tariffs on Chinese goods initiated by the Trump administration.

2. New Tariff Increases:
In May 2024, Biden announced significant increases to tariffs on specific Chinese imports, particularly targeting strategic sectors.
These increases aim to protect American workers and businesses from what the administration considers unfair trade practices by China.
Sectors affected include steel and aluminum, semiconductors, electric vehicles, batteries, critical minerals, solar cells, ship-to-shore cranes, and medical products.

3. Examples of Increased Tariffs:
In 2024, the tariff rate on electric vehicles increased from 25% to 100%, and the rate on solar cells increased from 25% to 50%. The tariff on certain steel and aluminum products also rose to 25% from a previous range of 0-7.5%.
The tariff rate on semiconductors is scheduled to increase to 50% by 2025.

Biden finalizes increases to some of Trump’s China tariffs
Fri September 13, 2024
https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/13/politics ... iden-trump

The Biden administration said Friday that it has finalized tariff hikes on certain Chinese-made products that the president first announced in May.

The tariff rate will go up to 100% on electric vehicles, to 50% on solar cells and to 25% on electrical vehicle batteries, critical minerals, steel, aluminum, face masks and ship-to-shore cranes beginning September 27, according to the US Trade Representative’s Office.

Tariff hikes on other products, including semiconductor chips, are set to take effect over the next two years.

In 2025, US tariffs and foreign retaliation are expected to negatively impact the economy, leading to lower GDP growth, increased unemployment, and higher consumer prices. Specific economic effects include a decline in real GDP growth, a rise in the unemployment rate, and a reduction in payroll employment. Additionally, the tariffs are projected to increase the price level and disproportionately affect households at the bottom of the income ladder.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Impact on GDP and Growth:

US real GDP growth is projected to be lower by 0.8 percentage points in 2025.

The US economy is expected to be persistently smaller in the long run, with a reduction of 0.6% in real GDP, according to Yale's Budget Lab.

Labor Market Effects:

The unemployment rate is projected to increase by 0.4 percentage points by the end of 2025.
Payroll employment is expected to be 590,000 lower.

Consumer Prices and Inflation:

The price level is projected to rise by 2.3% in the short run, according to Yale's Budget Lab.

Consumer prices, particularly for apparel and food, are expected to increase due to the tariffs.

Distributional Impact:

Tariffs are a regressive tax, meaning they disproportionately burden low-income households.

Annual losses for households at the bottom of the income distribution are projected to be significant.

Long-Term Effects:

In the long run, tariffs may lead to a trade-off between manufacturing expansion and contraction in other sectors.
While US manufacturing output is projected to expand, advanced manufacturing output and other sectors like construction and agriculture could decline.

The US economy experienced a contraction in the first quarter of 2025, specifically shrinking by 0.2%, according to the latest data released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. This marked the first negative growth reading since the first and second quarters of 2022. The primary factors contributing to this decline were weaker consumer spending and a significant impact from net exports.

Here's a more detailed look:

Negative Growth:
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a key indicator of economic activity, contracted at a 0.2% annual rate in the first quarter.
Impact on Consumer Spending:
Consumer spending, a major engine of the economy, slowed to 1.2% in the first quarter, a significant drop from previous quarters.
Trade's Influence:
Net exports, which represent the difference between imports and exports, had a substantial negative impact on GDP, with imports surging ahead of potential tariffs.
Shift from Previous Data:
The initial estimate for the first quarter was a 0.3% decline, but this was revised downward in the second estimate.
Implications:
While the decline is a contraction, the final GDP estimate is still due next month, and the overall impact on the economy is being assessed

Used Car Prices Hit Record Highs

Fri, June 6, 2025 https://autos.yahoo.com/used-car-prices ... _JB4HB0kIm

Consumers keep getting squeezed everywhere they turn, including with used car prices reportedly hitting record highs. When you combine that with insane new vehicle prices, sky high insurance premiums, groceries, utilities, housing, and everything else that’s inflated in price drastically lately, it’s overwhelming.

This is the reality we’re all facing at this point. Edmunds recently revealed that it found by combing through used car listings that three-year-old models on average surpassed $30,000 during the first quarter of 2025 at an average $30,522.

The U.S. economy, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, is navigating a challenging landscape. The recent employment report from the Department of Labor highlights a mixed picture. In May, the economy added 139,000 jobs, surpassing economists' expectations of 126,000. However, this growth marks a slowdown from April's 147,000 jobs. The report also revised previous months' figures downward, with a combined reduction of 95,000 jobs for March and April.

The employment report presents mixed signals for the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Although job additions continue, the downward revisions and broader labor market context suggest that the market isn't showing the weakness needed for the Fed to consider rate cuts in the upcoming FOMC meeting. The Fed is expected to maintain borrowing costs within the 4.25% to 4.5% range, despite some economists predicting potential rate cuts later in 2025.

The impact of Trump's tariff policies on inflation and economic growth remains a point of uncertainty. Experts note that the full effects of these policies have yet to manifest in employment data. The market anticipates that it may take several months for the complete impact on business decisions, hiring, and inflation to become evident. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets ... rthp-feeds
