“... the economy is as good as it could possibly be, given the circumstances.....”

I am reminded of Voltaire’s book Candide when he stated “This is the best of all possible worlds” as a satire on life and the human condition.

Biden and his fellow travelers are just spouting nonsense they want people to believe.

I just got back from a trip to the grocery store and bought gas on the way home. I know better than what the media says.

The e oniony is actually quite good. As long as you don’t have to buy food, gas, heat a home or pay rent or mortgage or property taxes.

Went to buy an Original no-pulp (usually prefer pulp),
Tropicana 100% Orange Juice, 89 ounce.

All they wanted for it was $8.99.

I’ve been buying this every so often for 5-7 years.

It used to be $5.99.

Yeah, it’s just the public that doesn’t get it. /s

All thanks to Building Back Better.

Sounds like a sound byte James Carville would dream up.

What a pantload...

I was grocery shopping yesterday here in the D.C. suburbs. A 1-lb. package of Oscar Meyer beef bologna was selling for $9.19

According to the "genius" in the White House, the causes are greedflation and shrinkflation. It's all the fault of the grocery chains, certainly not BIDENOMICS.

I have a large dog.

I buy Wal Mart brand kibble for him in 50# bags.

The cost has gone from 40 cents a pound to 59 cents a pound in less than 2 years.

I have no idea where these government types shop, but a lot of the things I buy at the grocery store have risen over 50% since Biden was installed.

“The WH has gone to war on people”. He sure as hell has gone to war on the American farmer. My input costs to grow food out here in central Kansas have nearly tripled since that POS took office, but the price I receive for the commodities I grow have not appreciated in anywhere near a commensurate fashion, yet the price of groceries has skyrocketed. Somebody along the chain is doing pretty well, but it isn’t the American farmer/rancher. Just an observation from an old Kansas farm boy.

Pauline Kael of the New Yorker was said to have remarked:
“I can’t believe Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who voted for him.”
Revised allegedly accurate statement:
‘I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them.’”

Notice the media Leftist Bubble is still intact. We are outside.

Schiff-ty will be elected to the Senate. Hard to believe people are that stupid. That’s why California is a “loser State”.

Democrat voters are. They don’t believe their lying bank account.

Everyone along the chain is hit with Biden’s war on energy and every other thing the bastard has savaged.

Yeah, the economy’s so great I can’t afford a home of my own or to rend and both gas and a week’s worth of groceries are a greater percentage of my income than they were six years ago.

Yeah, it’s awesome.
