In economics, “transitory” can mean a few years. In Washington, “transitory” is anything that lasts longer than a news cycle. And it's worth bearing that distinction in mind as we approach the next round of "transitory" (tariff-driven) inflation.

A quarter-point Fed cut sounds big, but for most people it's modest. On a car loan or mortgage, your monthly payment nudges down, not collapses. Markets care more because it hints at the Fed's path—today’s move says “gentle easing,” not “emergency rescue.”

Hundreds of kids in S Carolina are being quarantined right now because of a measles outbreak.
I don’t have patience for niceties when it comes to this crap, so if you’re an anti-vaxxer, keep your damn kids at home and don’t travel for the holidays.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

They are openly saying this.

"All that [tariff] money's gone into a big pot. And what Trump has done is he's taken a bunch of mates and he said to them, I like you. You're a farmer. I like the cut of your jib. You get bailed out, but the rest of us don't."

When you hear “the Fed cut rates,” don’t just focus on the change. The key question is: where are rates now? A small cut that takes us from “braking” to “neutral” is very different from a big cut that slams a foot on the gas. This one was about getting to neutral.

"When the president says prices are falling, he's lying. When he says he's going to get prices down, he really shouldn't, because the only way to get prices down is to crush the economy." That’s the trade-off he’s not mentioning.

He Spent Funds Meant for Native Hawaiians on Polo and Porsches. The Federal Government Failed to Stop Him.
A small business program allowed Christopher Dawson to win big contracts if he promised to uplift Native Hawaiians. Instead, federal prosecutors allege, he used the money to line his own pockets.

Economics isn't just about outcomes, it's about stories. If the president doesn't win the battle of ideas or honestly explain trade-offs, people assume they're being gamed. Even decent numbers won't feel good without straight talk about who pays for what.
