I have been around long enough to know that RAT admins always drive up inflation and make life unaffordable for the middle class. The democrats always claim they are champions of the middle class. That is one of their big lies.
I imagine there are others around here that remember Obama proudly saying Joe Biden was his czar for the middle class. Even set a website. What a joke. Nothing ever happened on that website because it was all bogus.
The democrats always make life unaffordable and when it gets really bad, a republican gets voted in because people are feeling the pain.
The messes made by the democrats are always hard to fix and have taken time to bring about corrections. Because of that, if the corrections don’t happen over night, people forget who actually started the problems and the republican gets the blame.
As a result, the gullible fools listen to the media democrat lies and the whole cycle repeats itself. They run out and vote for democrats.
I think the damage to the economy, particularly in the last 5 years, has been so great that it can’t be fixed in any conventional manner. Hence, calling for 50 year mortgages. That is not anymore home ownership than a 30 year mortgage.
People want food prices down. I can’t remember food prices or rents ever going back down after rising like they have.
Problem is, people don’t make enough to afford it all.
This was the plan to bring the communism into America. Pretending it ain’t so won’t change it.
This was the plan to bring the communism into America. Agree
Dems slowly make life bad enough the people , who are not accustomed to distress, cry for “Someone to do something!”’
“I can’t remember food prices or rents ever going back down after rising like they have.”
As a consumer, I was struck by how much the price of gas and food went up when Biden was President. Some restaurants closed too as wages could not compete with Covid pay to stay home.
President Trump has (at least mostly) stopped the war on CO2 and the price of gas has fallen greatly. That’s a big plus.
Food price inflation has stopped, but food prices remain high. Yes, prices are high, but that is not inflation. Inflation is when prices go up again - and that has not happened. Trump probably deserves credit but won’t get it.
Lower fuel costs should help to lower food costs. On the other hand, taking the cheap illegal worker out of agriculture could cause food prices to go up.
As for rent, I own. Taking cheap illegal laborers out of home construction may drive prices up. That’s only part of the story as employment by Americans should go up too. I’m not a builder but would not be surprised to learn that we have excess regulation that raises prices.
I have only one story on regulation and it’s from decades past. I had a railed deck in the back of the house. I hired a guy recommended to me to build a screened porch. He built up from the existing rails and started building the roof. Someone at work asked me if it was up to code. I asked the builder and he looked panicked. He said that I hadn’t mentioned building to code. Building to code would mean tearing down the existing rails instead of using them. He was about 230 pounds and stood on the roof and told me it was solid. He finished the work, and we enjoyed that screened in porch as long as we lived there.
