I don’t know about others but for me it’s my new found poverty.
It’s taking all the fun out of our thriving economy.
What are the “professions” and demographics of the people who have “benefited from the chomo daughter molester in Chief?
When the Dow hits 46,000 then things look better inflation took a lot out of my investments.
We are supposed to put a small tree branch between our teeth and bite down until the tears come as we contemplate inflation destroying our retirement, money thrown away in the trillions and added to our debt and funding for millions of illegals and crime prevention costs about them.😭
Then say “I feel good, like I knew that I would. With Biden.”🤪
Well heck I have to say fast food is a leading indicator. Used to be a couple of cheap hamburgers were 2 for 4 dollars now 4 dollars each. Coffee drink at starbucks was 3.85 now over 5 dollars. It didn’t happen slowly it was very sudden. The sudden jumps are fairly frequent and not just a matter of a few percent but more of huge jumps as much as double. These things don’t sneak up they jump out. Packages contain less portion sizes are smaller. I bought a box of apple pies. The box made them look rectangular but when I opened it they were square. The box had over twice as much space inside as it needed for the little tiny pies. It’s hard to have a positive outlook.
Oh, and by the way, the government is lying about inflation. Real inflation is running over 10% right now, not the 4% claimed.
Every person who buys anything senses this inflation, even if they can not put it into words.
Another thing not discussed is how uncertain, people feel about their future. I have seen during Covid huge numbers of jobs, businesses, and lives destroyed. I know people who had good careers, forced to retire early or fired because they objected to being vaccinated.
Most people no longer have pensions to provide for them in old age, they have 401k’s. The stock market is extremely volatile and most fear for their retirement savings. Every year the Social Security Trust sends out a letter saying that full funding at current rates can't be guaranteed past a certain year.
There are real reasons why people are concerned. There are real reasons why people want to “Make America Great Again.”
Nobody is upset with a thriving economy.
We’re upset with inflation, high interest rates and the democrats gaslighting us into thinking that adverse economic conditions are a good sign.
“Wage inequality?”
Whut? Everybody gets paid the same irregardless of the job or skill level or edumacation?
What a grey world.
With Biden’s inflation, we’ve been slapped with a PERMANENT, 20% NATIONAL SALES TAX!
Huh? The mockingbirds have been gaslighting about how great pedojoe's economy is.
American Man: "Arg! An illegal alien just stabbed me and I can no longer afford insurance and I'm bleeding out."
Mockingbirds: "Look at all the weight you're losing, you should be happy!"
The money presses have slowed way down. While that will keep inflation down it will guarantee a recession. When Reagan did the same thing the hurt was minimized by cutting regulations and taxes. Obviously not going to happen like that this time around.
I had two keys made for the pickup bed toolbox I have. The keys were $8 each. Never in my life have a seen a simple key like that cost so much. And, the shrinkflation from smaller package/portion sizes as mentioned above is VERY noticeable now. The government is responsible for loss of control of the currency. They’re robbing us before our very eyes and there is not one thing we can do about it, except...repent and turn back to God. Many, many folks are not going to do that. So, all that is left is to suffer.
The fact that we (Spouse and me) are financially stable has nothing to do with government policy. I would say that we are slightly less stable now than we were in 2018 but stable all the same. Reason: we live below our means and save some for a rainy day.
Well Slick, your economy is “THRIVING” with my tax money. The Federal debt is “thriving” at $33.1 trillion. According to the mainstream “media”, everyone has their credit cards maxed out because they can’t afford to pay cash. Yup! “Thriving.”
The inflation is being generated by the US government and they are stealing the wealth of the people through biden’s policies of big spending and printing money. It’s not an accident that a dollar in 2021 is now worth 91 cents. Think about that...
I love how they try to gaslight us on inflation by saying things like “inflation is just a fraction of what it was six months or a year ago,” as though the only relevant comparison is this month to last month. The effect is cumulative, retards, and we’re still getting killed relative to where things were 2 or 3 years ago.
Positive for whom, exactly? Oh, wait, I see. It’s great for the oligarch/collectivist crowd.
Adolescent:
Employment No./ C.O.L. = ∆ -
Eg. Work Value
4/4 = 1
4/8 = .50
∆ = - 1/2 = real employment = ∆ work
∆ work value = -
