Doesn’t fit their narrative.

Funny, when prices went up under 8 years of Obama, these stories never made it to print. Trying to figure out why.... What am I missing?

But I recall that the Light Bringer (the AA ignoramus and moron) wanted electricity prices to “necessarily skyrocket” and his head of the DOE wanted $9/gallon gas like in Europe. So energy prices rising is a good thing, right?

Planes are full. Hotels are full. Restaurants are full. Sales are up. People have jobs. And the press is trying hard to make it sound like a problem.

I love that... ‘why is everyone doing so poorly?’ as she contemplates going back to work to make more of a cushion in her budget.

Let's start with there being a job to go get, something that was absent for much of the Obamas enjoying the sweet life in the White House (and golf courses and hot vacation spots...)

Now let's go to typical price realignment which happens during the summertime pretty much every year. You'll see lots of things on ‘sale’ for pretty much their previous price and then when the sale ends, you get the new higher price (or the box or can size shrank, etc.)

But yeah, things are more horrible under Trump; can't drift from the liberal line. Oh, hey, several chains are starting to offer higher starting wages because they're having trouble with employee turnover. Must be the bad economy... (please be remembering the bad economy and vote out evil Republicans... pretty please — Seattle Times.)

total BS. WSJ says manufacturing brushing off tariff effects ... not to mention all the U.S. steel mills coming back on line ...

https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-manufacturing-activity-loses-momentum-1533138906

ad then there’s this, namely retaliatory tariffs by our unfair trading partners hurting them WAY more than us:

This is horse manure. We have had a gravy train for years and years when it comes to inflation, gasoline prices and cheap chinese goods. The economy is booming and jobs are available.

10 years ago we were all going to die from deflation, now it’s inflation.

This is why most people never build wealth. They are constantly paralyzed by the latest boogie man.

I’ve been reading this crap since 1965. Fortunately I’ve ignored it.

Prices have been going up for years, the years Obama printed billions in cash and gave it to wall street to hide his disasterous finnanti policy of zero interest rates, massive debt and Quantitative Easing. It will rise for a decade at least.

Tariffs do cause a small amount of inflation. The rest of the tariff story is all to the good.

Funny. Inflation has been destroying wages since the mid-90s but we are what, suddenly noticing it, now?
