President Biden has repeatedly promised that he won't raise taxes on American families earning less than $400,000 per year. Yet widespread and growing inflation due to his policies is -- at least indirectly -- breaking that promise. Call it the Biden inflation tax.

Enjoy the suck Biden voters.
I might put a sign in my yard “Accepting donations for gas money”
The ones hardest hit will be the Biden voters.
They deserve it.
As they suck up dollars being created out of thin air, there will be consequences.
I was quoted $14,000 to put in a new driveway b/c the price of concrete has skyrocketed, according to the contractor I use for home repairs and renovations. He said lumber is becoming difficult to get.
There are two of us (and sometimes guests) and I am shocked at what my grocery bill is - been to Costco lately? What cost $100 not too long ago is now $200.
It’s not coming; it’s here.
Yep, incredible. Even Biden voters have to notice the obvious. I’d like to see a public shaming campaign where ordinary people thank Biden voters for out of control energy prices, wood prices, etc. The Biden voters deserve to be shamed for their ignorance.

I have cancelled any projects until further notice. I will not submit to price gouging or speculation driven markets.
Anytime there is a futures / commodity trade there are uncontrolled prices having nothing to do with real markets. Most of you don’t remember the stable oil prices of the 50’s and 60’s and that all of that came to an end after the Arab Oil Embargoes of the 70’s but more particularly with the start of oil and gas futures trading in the early 80’s. We have not seen a very long stable price for gasoline since then. You can blame that on the traders of futures and their knee jerk reactions to real market forces but more often perceived market forces.
The price of building materials has been driven up by their bets of a shortage as much as anything. There may be things not easily gotten but I have not yet seen a lumber yard that was empty of material.
I hope the traders get caught in a devastating squeeze soon.
