Gasoline is up a whopping 22 percent. Meanwhile, food prices have already increased 3.5 percent over the past year and energy prices are up 13 percent. The prices of raw materials - such as steel, lumber and cotton - that are used to make everything have also been surging. Companies have already said they will be passing on the higher costs of those raw materials onto consumers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made fun of you beause you have no idea what you're talking about. Also, yours is about cashing out of the market. Mine is about goods and services becoming more and more expenisve, companies passing the expense to consumers and no one wants to work. Companies like McDonalds are offering people $50 just to SHOW UP for an interview. If you can't see the difference, then yeah, I stand by my point tht you don't know what you're talking about.

He also wanted the country to be completely open and to keep illegals from flooding all of those things I said are part of the DNC platform you dont see R governors offering money to illegals 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,593 Posted February 10, 2022 We buy too much from China, so when China's manufacturers have massive inflation it makes sense that we have inflation. We are screwed in this cycle, however the only way to prevent this in future economic cycles would be to not be so dependent on chinese manufacturing. I know the article I am linking is old, however our consumer price index will lag behind the chinese manufacturing price index. So it is valid as far as our inflation is concerned. There is nothing biden can do to slow down inflation before the end of the year. Him saying he can slow it down is a lie.

It’s funny how before the election ppl were told this was going to happen. Got laughed at. After the election was over and things IMMEDIATELY started going up they told them again. Laughed at. Fast forward to today. It’s being blamed on trump and covid Any time I ask “well how come Sh1t was expensive when Obama was in office, cheap when trump was in, and back to being expensive when Biden is in office” all I get is “you don’t know how an economy works!!!” Swear I wish covid would’ve done worse damage to California and New York than it did Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The djdb idiot said inflation was higher under Obama, low under Trump and now high again the day after election. It doesn't work that way. Inflation is pretty complicated, but the fed injecting trillions is a huge culprit, and this really ramped up under Bush with the financial crisis.

Fact is you can’t handle it cause what I said you can’t disprove. And it pisses you off to no end oh and Biden doesn’t have “policies”. Doesn’t need them. Why? Cause his “policy” is repealing everything trump did which in turn caused prices to skyrocket. Prime example: remember insulin? How much it cost before trump? Yea, he signed an order to make it lower. What did Biden do? That’s right he repealed it. What happened to prices? Did they stay the same? Hmmm???? Nope they didn’t. Shot right back up. Which is what happened to everything else essentially. Now Biden is trying to put lowering the cost of insulin in his bills he’s passing and using that as an excuse when republicans don’t back his plan. “BuT tHe InSuLiN” don’t create a problem and tout yourself as being the “fix” for it.

easilyscan 553 Posted February 10, 2022 There was a time when the Federal Reserve would attempt to curb inflation 'before' it got out of hand. Now they seem absolutely terrified to raise rates a measly 25 basis points. They keep talking about raising, but that's all it's been.....talk. Keeping interest rates too low for too long impacts a lot of things. https://www.early-retirement.org/forums/f28/we-can-t-afford-our-home-anymore-112712.html Is it any wonder that there's been an insatiable demand for low income/affordable housing for 10+ years ? The country is out of control in many ways. Going to be interesting to see it all unwind at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is what you said " Sh1t was expensive when Obama was in office, cheap when trump was in, and back to being expensive when Biden is in office" I can't disprove it? How about using data? I don't expect you to understand this, but the inflation rate during the Obama Admin was 1.37%. During the Trump admin, it was 1.90%. This directly refutes your statement. You are wrong. You talked sh!t and I busted you. If you want to make it interesting, during the W years, it was 2.84%, higher than both.
