5000 dollars a year….is a lot for a retired guy.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed under Trump everything was his responsibility but now the MSM always has excuses? Inflation is caused by COVID and the supply chain etc.

I have noticed that. Even vax “safety and effectiveness” to my chagrin.

But that is the hallmark of a good leader.

Democrats take zero responsibility for anything. In other words they are IRRESPONSIBLE. Or any of these would work (reckless, undependable, negligent, feckless, unreliable, immoral, immature, impractical, careless, untrustworthy, rash, unstable, arbitrary, impetuous, impulsive, irrational, unaccountable, unthinking, thoughtless, unethical, dishonest, hypocritical, reprehensible)

Yea, it was fun just running through the Thesaurus looking up descriptive words for Democrats. So Many Fitting Words!!!!

It’s a bit too early in the tenure, but my deepest hope is all this horribleness means there is a Ron at the end of the tunnel….

Few remember the Carter Years and people bragging they got ONLY 14% interest rate on their home mortgage.

Inflation is caused by the federal government, which mints money, spending money which it doesn’t have. Inflation devalues all wealth. So when government issues money to people it is taking that money from people who earned it, and giving to people who did not earn it. By any name inflation is theft.

They show inflation costs the average U.S. household an incredible $5,000 a year.

I think it is more than that - what with gas up over $1.00/gallon, along with everything else.

I am shocked at how high my grocery bill is for just two people - who don't eat a lot of meat. I rarely get out of the market for less than $90-$100.
