Federal Reserve: Without Tariffs, Inflation Would Have Dropped to Pre-Pandemic Levels During 2025 

New study finds that tariffs were responsible for the "entirety of the excess inflation in the core goods category."

Tariffs implemented last year by President Donald Trump's administration are entirely to blame for the recent surge in prices for consumer and household goods. 

Those tariffs have raised core goods prices by 3.1 percent, according to a new study by a trio of economists at the Federal Reserve. Those higher consumer prices were the result of retailers passing the cost of tariffs along the supply chain. 

As of February 2026, the tariffs "can explain the entirety of the excess inflation in the core goods category since January 2025," the economists concluded. "Our estimates indicate that tariff effects on prices gradually build over time, with cumulative effects seven months after implementation consistent with our theoretical measures of full dollar-for-dollar pass-through."

Thanks for the Edumacatin' BV. It turns out one of the largest manufacturers of commercial skylights iin the US is around the corner. I am considering pursuit, but a climate controlled environment is high on my list.


Exogeny refers to phenomena, substances, or processes that originate from outside a system, organism, or surface, rather than being produced within it. Key examples include geological erosion (external forces), external economic factors, and foreign particles in biology. It acts as a counterpoint to endogeny (internal origin).

Key Contexts of Exogeny:
Geology: Exogenous processes, such as weathering, erosion, and sedimentation, act on the Earth's surface and are driven by external forces like climate, wind, and water.
Biology/Medicine: Substances not synthesized within an organism (like certain medications or toxins) are exogenous. In anatomy, it describes the exit of a hair from a follicle.
Economics: Exogenous variables are factors determined outside a model's parameters that affect its outcomes.
Social Sciences: It describes the "inherited estrangement from place" or external influences that shape modern social forms.
Literature: Exogeny is a 2022 science fiction novel by Nathan Karl.

Exogenous processes directly affect how landscapes are formed and how populations are distributed, often leading to geographical, rather than internal, causes for development.

Millions of Floridians Will Bear the Brunt of Trump’s Health Cuts

Medicaid cutbacks and the end of enhanced Obamacare subsidies leave patients and hospitals in the state with difficult choices

As this year began, Florida had more enrollees in ACA plans — some 4.5 million — than any other state, largely because of its higher concentration of small businesses, the self-employed and early retirees.

Among them are people like Julee Ellison, 61, who owns a handbag-making business in Manatee County, along the state’s Gulf Coast south of Tampa Bay.

The foundation’s financials, due May 15, should include the charity’s accounting for the $10 million it received from a state Medicaid settlement, most of which wound up in a political committee intent on defeating the recreational marijuana ballot amendment during the 2024 election — a priority for the governor....

Money spent on a constitutional ballot initiative would be considered lobbying, and money spent on a candidate is political, the experts said. 

Records indicate much of the $10 million went to both. 

After the DeSantis administration steered the money to the Hope Florida Foundation, the charity wired $5 million to Secure Florida’s Future, run by the Florida Chamber of Commerce. It wired another $5 million to Save Our Society From Drugs, a St. Petersburg organization associated with Drug Free America. 

The two nonprofits then sent $8.5 million to Keep Florida Clean, the political committee intent on defeating the recreational marijuana amendment. Attorney General James Uthmeier controlled Keep Florida Clean during the 2024 election to assist the DeSantis administration’s effort to defeat the recreational marijuana amendment. At the time, Uthmeier was Gov. Ron DeSantis’ chief of staff.

The reading level of Reason Magazine (high school level) is too high for the MAGATs...they will just show you a chart of how CPI is muted / relatively unchanged from 2024 and therefore tariffs had no impact
