1. Tax cuts: 
The biggest question is whether Congress will cut taxes even more, as Trump has said he favors (on tips, for example). That would make an already expensive tax bill even more costly — and lawmakers who are worried about the federal debt, including some Republicans, might oppose it.

many folks work for tips, many younger folks that hate Trump - this would be VERY popular

lawmakers worried about the fed debt???  Hah, who?  They may talk but they haven't even tried to do anything

I just bought extra large Kroger eggs here, they were $3.29 as I recall.  And I had a coupon making them "free". 

The price increase on one item of course can't define overall inflation, but the CPI doesn't do a great job either.  I don't know what "real inflation" might be, there are several metrics used, they are all under 3% in the US.  Gas prices locally are under $3 outside the urban areas.
you go out to eat a lot
compare rest. prices today to 4 3 years ago

Inflation generally is annualized, it won't include inflation that happened over 12 months ago.  It's an attempt to be "current".  I don't have a good feel for "current inflation".  The reported figure is 2.4% (CPI).

The most obvious item we see daily is gas prices, which are down quite a bit from the $5 or so back in 2021.  

Imentioned the "totchos" at the place next door went from $10 to $15 from 2021 to 2023, but they have stayed at $15 since.  That's a single item of course.  I don't get a sense restaurant prices have gone up much over the past 12 months.

My nephew lives a bit out of town and they keep chickens on their property, and give us free eggs any time we get by there.

I can taste a difference, they're definitely better, but they're not so much better that they justify the $4/dozen difference they'd charge me at the farmer's market for them.

National debt is only cared about by Republicans when none of their other attacks are landing.

The debt and deficit are weighty concerns of whichever party is out of power.

I normally agree but,........

I'll bet you a double serving of Trappers Wings and a couple beers at Trapper's Bar & Grill that the Dems will care when discussing the Trump tax cut plan.

Neither of the two ridiculous teams gives a shit about the national debt.  They simply use it as a political hot potato to lob at the other ridiculous team when it suits them.

They "care" when they aren't in power.  And then when they are, spend, spend, spend
