Inflation went through the roof with trump with food for sure. Not sure anybody would dispute this. So housing has gone up to. I know we’re having bidding wars in my neighborhood for the last year.

That’s right; these food prices never fell after the shortages were over.

I believe the election was outright stolen in a few key cities, but in the end, when people had to address the question “Are you better off than four years ago?”, I don’t know how many could say “Yes”. The ChiCom virus played a large part, as did the failure of Trump to implement his agenda (due to obstruction from both parties); we still had illegals everywhere, a McJob economy (with some exceptions in some areas), and no wall built.

No, inflation on food did not go through the roof with Trump - Prices went up 9% over his 4 years on average, or about 2.2% a year CAGR. Housing did go up quite a bit.

People are notoriously bad with overstating inflation in food and gas prices because they 1) buy items frequently 2) remember when items go up, but rarely do when they go down 3) Frequently are thinking of prices from 10, 15, or even 20 years ago or more to compare to without adjusting for CAGR.
