Emily Peck：目前通货膨胀的氛围不如之前强烈，但商业调查显示公司因关税而提高价格，这令人担忧。虽然鸡蛋和汽油的价格不受进口影响，但人们对特朗普的关注点分散，不像拜登时期那样集中在通货膨胀上。汽车通货膨胀是由独特的环境造成的，即使稀土影响汽车生产，也不会出现同样的飙升。
Felix Salmon：由于人手不足，美国劳工统计局（BLS）计算通货膨胀的准确性不如以前，这可能导致数据失真。或许可以使用更先进的方法来收集数据，计算消费者物价指数（CPI）。尽管通货膨胀很重要，但在当前的大环境下，它还没有达到真正重要的程度。
Elizabeth Spiers：特朗普政府已经解散了劳工统计局（BLS）的顾问委员会，这可能是一个政治项目，旨在破坏或操纵数据。如果企业长期依赖劳工统计局（BLS）的数据进行规划，且没有其他私营部门的替代方案，那么BLS数据的质量问题将令人担忧。劳工统计局（BLS）长期人手不足，资源不足，无法进行现代化改造，这意味着我们从BLS获得的数据可能受到影响。消费者物价指数（CPI）对社会保障、联邦税收、劳资合同和债券支付至关重要。
