There's a lot of positive movement going on.
We reported on how crime was down, and the hot take the media was trying not to give President Donald Trump credit. There was also the jobs report, which was also good, with 130,000 jobs added and unemployment dropping.
But the most interesting thing that the report showed was how Trump was reducing the federal government, while upping the private sector jobs. There has been a big slashing of federal jobs because of things like the DOGE cuts. That's what you want and the reverse of what Joe Biden did.
With Biden, the reports always seemed worse than expected, while with Trump, they're better than expected.

Which brings us to the latest inflation numbers, which are good and "better than expected."
Overall inflation eased to 2.4 percent in January from the same time last year. That was down from the previous 2.7 percent annual pace.
“Core” inflation, which filters out volatile food and energy prices, ticked down to 2.5 percent on a year-over-year basis. It last stood at 2.6 percent.
That's what we like to hear.
“This is great news on inflation,” said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union. “Inflation fell to the lowest level since May and key items such as food, gas and rent are cooling off. This will provide much needed relief for middle class and moderate-income families.”
Even CNN had to acknowledge the positive.

They even explained that that was the "lowest annual inflation rate for core since March of 2021, before the inflation crisis."
You mean before Biden started driving everything up? The Democrats want to talk about "affordability," but they failed on it, and failed in a big way. Trump is driving it in the right direction, trending down. That's what happens when you have a more intelligent economic policy, which helps all of us.
