The Federal Reserve’s blind obsession with tariff-driven inflation is a textbook example of bureaucratic groupthink run amok. Inside the corridors of the Eccles Building, there’s no room for common sense or economic nuance—only a rigid, left-leaning consensus that any move to protect American industry through tariffs automatically means higher prices. This isn’t just stubbornness. It’s a dangerous refusal to consider the bigger picture, one that could cripple America’s economic future and keep us chained to globalist interests.
Let’s be clear: tariffs are not some evil hammer smashing the poor consumer’s wallet. They are a strategic tool—a way to rebuild domestic manufacturing, secure supply chains, and reduce dependence on hostile foreign powers. Yet, the Fed’s so-called experts treat tariffs like a disease, refusing to even entertain the idea that they might create long-term economic benefits. Instead, they obsess over how fast prices will rise, ignoring how strengthening American businesses could actually stabilize and grow the economy.

This myopic view exposes a deeper problem: the Fed’s utter failure to question its own biases. They assume, without a single dissent, that tariffs are inflationary no matter what. There’s no debate. No acknowledgment that tariffs could potentially lower demand, encourage reshoring of production, or break our reliance on adversaries who don’t have America’s best interests at heart. This kind of intellectual laziness is not just bad economics—it’s political cowardice, designed to keep the status quo firmly tipped in favor of globalist elites who want America weak and compliant.
Remember how the Fed misread inflation back in 2021? They called it “transitory,” dragging their feet as prices spiraled out of control, betting on a globalist fantasy rather than reality. Now, instead of learning from that failure, they’ve doubled down on their blind spot, seeing inflation risks everywhere—even as the data suggests a more complicated story. Their reflexive inflationary alarm over tariffs isn’t caution; it’s dogma, pure and simple. A dogma that puts them on a collision course with an administration daring to put American workers first.
It’s high time we called out this Fed groupthink for what it is: a politically motivated crusade against patriotic economic policy. Tariffs are about strength, sovereignty, and economic independence, not inflation hysteria dreamed up by a bunch of disconnected bureaucrats. If the Fed won’t wake up and challenge its assumptions, who will? At this rate, we’re left wondering—are they really protecting the economy, or just protecting the interests of the globalist elite who have always viewed America’s greatness as a problem to solve?
