The Federal government printed trillions of dollars and they are spending it like drunken sailors. Best thing they can do is to slam the brakes and eventually it’ll cause a recession. But Joe Biden won’t do that. So it’ll look like the ‘70s the next few years. Hope it will just be like that. There’s a risk we can go into hyperinflation if we are not careful. If adults were in charge, that would never happen. But with Joe Biden’s handlers, all bets are off. Brace for impact.

And here we are, the state of emergency re-declared indefinitely now.

Losing hope this does not end somehow or begin in bloodshed

I wonder, how expensive does it have to get before the illegals can’t afford to come here?

Won’t work that way, we will just get taxed harder so they can receive more government handouts.

Wage slavery

Just wait until the bills start coming due for all the refugees and illegals that have come and continue to come.

School boards and county/city governments will be going bankrupt.

GOP collaborators enable this. But that Mitch is great with judges! And we needed him to defeat the Commie he was running against!.....according to plenty of Freepers.

A lot of the country voted for crazy policies that cause them to pay higher prices and endure scarcity of items.

Americans now get to watch their disposable income shrink every week.

The current debt based system is unsustainable by design. It is a ponzi scheme. When the system collapses, the only people protected will be owning assets of value, gold, silver, and perhaps crypto-currency. Prepare or you won’t have a chair when the music stops.

“The Federal government printed trillions of dollars and they are spending it like drunken sailors. “

My drunken sailor buddy really hates this comparison. He says that when he ran out of his money, he stopped spending. He didn’t take money from others to keep drinking.

It’s almost like somebody is having Biden destroy our country. Only 3 more years to go!

To be fair, this started under Trump. If Trump as still President, inflation will go up some but not as much, most likely.

The Cost Of Living In The US Is Rising To Absolutely Absurd Levels

That’s what I said when gads went to $0.35, bread to $0.40. It really got ridiculous when the cost of a new Dodge 3/4T 4X went to $6,500. Now its just obscene.

Just for comparison.

https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/gasoline_prices/Europe/

European petrol taxes can be upwards of 75% of the pump price per litre so it’s not really a fair comparison based on total prices. Normalized to a common tax rate they pay similar prices.

Problem is Democrats. Pure and simple. They did this to us.
because they figured out that they outnumber us and can vote to steal(Tax) us as the see fit and we have no mechanisms to stop them.
Those pesky 16th and 17th amendments destroyed that protection.
Enjoy it all. What do Democrats do when they run out of other people’s money?
Starve.
