Will the prices really go down?

[CGB]

No. Anytime the government starts sending out "free money" and calling it stimulus, expect higher prices. I learned my lesson in 2008, so when stimulus and PPP loans started flowing during the pandemic, I tightened our budget. Before the tariffs started, I stocked my pantry with imported items I knew were going to increase the most. If the proposed $2K tariff rebate becomes reality, expect another increase in prices. It's Economics 101.

Our chick fila used to have a line a mile long. Now you can just drive up. The only place that I see around us that is busy is In-an-out, You can still get a combo meal there for around 10-11 dollars.

I think our lines were very long before because of covid.
