The fact that it was ever higher than 0 shows that she shouldn't have the job.

Joey has had us in STAGFLATION for a while. Go ahead, look it up and say it ain't so.

Despite the Biden government’s claims to the contrary, corporate price-gouging has not been driving rises in U.S. inflation, according to research published by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on Monday. The Biden regime has attempted to blame inflation on corporate America by deploying terms like ‘greedflation’ and ‘shrinkflation.’

QE doesn't prop up anything. Congressional spending does. Our domestic economy has basically been issuing debt and pulling forward demand for the past 15 years.

I can tell you that $100k doesn’t really cut it either.

If im thinking averages of someone who loves alone and owns a 200k home:

quote:

Rent/Mortgage


1350-1850/mth

quote:

Car Payment


200-400/mth

quote:

Groceries


500-800/mth

24k-36k/yr on the most basic necessities

After taxes are taken out of 50k, you are on a pretty thin margin to do anything other than eat/sleep/work

Why should it ?

6% would be what everyone should plan for.

Only problem is I don’t see wages moving at all.

Laying all the blame on covid spending on Trump truly is some epic revisionist history. If one believes Biden truly won(which I believe youve put yourself in that camp) than you should remember his campaign basically being that Trump didnt do enough to protect people and wasnt going to do enough in the future to protect the people from Covid.

Every GOP "conservative" out there was all in on pressuring Trump to shut down the country while he was resisting it...and now we blame it all on him.

Its disingenuous to say "Trump inflation" when Trump was wrangled into supporting every huge spending bill by the GOP and post lockdowns support people who had their jobs taken from them.

I make good money and we are fine, but there is no ignoring how little $100 now gets you at the grocery store. Money that I used to save and invest is going to paying for daily expenses.
