Yes, Trump's idiotic tariffs are causing inflation, and he should be ripped for it.
However, federal deficit spending is completely out-of-control and will likely cause massive inflation at some point. Yet the amount of coverage MSNBC and The Bulwark give to this problem doesn't amount to squat.
maybe because the immediate problem is the fact that Republicans want to slash taxes in an otherwise fairly good economy. We will not solve the Federal budget problem by slashing taxes on the middle and upper class. Just won't happen. We have a deficit problem because we've had three rounds of major unpaid tax cuts since the early 2000's and we refuse to engage in meaningful cuts to the drivers. Defense, Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. I guess what I'm saying is show me the spending cuts before you show me the tax cuts. I mean Republicans are gutting the IRS and tax enforcement, estimated to soon cost the Treasury $500 billion a year in intentional cheating. What kind of priority is that?
Tim could do shows that discuss the immediate problems you cite and the big picture long-term problems. Both sides are completely full of crap on this subject, and I'd like to see Tim call them out.

I wish Tim would do a few shows on this subject.
