Vice President J.D. Vance outlined how President Donald Trump is executing his economic plan Sunday on CBS after host Margaret Brennan repeatedly questioned when voters will feel inflation ease.

During his campaign, Trump vowed to address voters’ concerns about the cost of living, as many Americans were worried about the U.S. economy and rising grocery prices before the 2024 November election. On CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Brennan asked Vance which executive order signed by Trump in his first week of office addresses the issue of lowering prices.

“We have done a lot and there have been a number of executive orders that have caused already jobs to start coming back into our country, which is a core part of lowering prices,” Vance responded. “More capital investment, more job creation in our economy is one of the things that’s going to drive down prices for all consumers, but also raise wages so that people can afford to buy the things that they need.”

“Prices are going to come down, but it’s going to take a little bit of time, right? The president has been president for all of five days. I think that in those five days, he’s accomplished more than Joe Biden did in four years. It’s been an incredible breakneck pace of activity,” Vance said.

The more I see of JD Vance, the more I like him.  And I already liked him quite a bit.

Bring down energy prices, and the rest of the economy will follow.

Of course, as long as the government keeps running massive deficits that require conjuring money out of thin air to support, there will be inflation, whether it translates into price inflation in the short-run or not.

I realize most people think of inflation as price inflation, but the underlying dynamics always involve more money chasing the same amount of goods and services and that has been the problem with both the first Trump administration deficit spending to buoy up the economy when we foolishly listened to Fauci, rather than the signatories of the Great Barrington Declaration, and shut down the economy to fight the pandemic (Sweden, along among developed nations followed the GBD advice and had a lower COVID death rate per capita than either the US or the UK), and the Biden administration deficit spending to give sops to "green energy" companies, public-sector unions and other Democrat constituencies.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.
