...on the things they can control, & annualized inflation is higher now than it was 6 months ago, and aggregate inflation is higher than in 2024, they are doing a pretty bad job of it.
It was a stupid answer, the analogy was blindingly dumb, and it was an admission that they don't know what they're doing & that sweeping tariffs are a negative to inflation.
How'd that idiot get through college?
