Retail inflation has lessened, but businesses are still swamped by huge price increases in materials and servicesConsumer prices ticked up again in March, rising to anywhere from 3.2% to 3.8% year-over-year, depending on the rate you’re tracking. Of course, that’s way down from what it was back in 2022. But don’t tell that to any of my clients – or people running businesses in just about every industry across the country.

Former President Donald Trump loves tariffs. He absolutely goes nuts for them and has made an even sharper turn back to protectionist policies a major part of his campaign. He also has no idea how tariffs work or what function they perform and doesn’t understand how his proposed policies would pile higher costs on American consumers already frustrated with rising inflation.

Almost immediately after dropping out of the Republican presidential primary in January, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis bent the knee to his subduer by endorsing former President Donald Trump. It was a humiliating end to a campaign that saw the onetime golden child of the GOP completely dominated in a bitter race filled with a never-ending parade of mocking slights and belittling attacks from his would-be predecessor.
