President Biden said the United States "has never seen anything like Putin’s tax on both food and gas," after the Labor Department announced Friday that inflation hit a new four-decade high in May.
The Labor Department said Friday that the consumer price index, a broad measure of the price for everyday goods, including gasoline, groceries and rent, rose 8.6% in May from a year ago. Prices jumped 1% in the one-month period from April. Those figures were both higher than the 8.3% headline figure and 0.7% monthly gain forecast by Refinitiv economists.
The president, from the Port of Los Angeles Friday, said fighting inflation is his "top economic priority," while, again, casting blame on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine for the surge in prices.

Does that foolish old coot and his string-pullers really believe that the American public believe that line of bull sheet? Oh, wait, I know! "If you tell them the lie often enough, they'll believe it." Ya, not so much!

Eventually Joe will get around to blaming the voters (both real and fake)who voted for him.

Well, those who don’t will soon be re-educated or eliminated.

No. That was when Trump was in office. He controlled Trump as he got him elected. That’s why everything was great under Trump.
Trump/Putin 2024!😉

The economic collapse started with Biden’s first day in office when he killed the Keystone Pipeline and put 14,000 people out of work.

End all of the boomeranging suicide sanctions immediately and ensure the free flow of fuel, fertilizer, and food.
Supplies will increase and prices will decrease.

Ukraine needs to do everything it can to get rid of all of the mines immediately.

Biden has accomplished something that should have been impossible:
Making Jimmy Carter look less incompetent in comparison.

Ukraine needs to do a whole lot more than just get rid of the mines - AND Zelensky and his advisors need to stop begging for more US money and military equipment day after day. ...and Biden needs to stop sending it. This country’s got plenty of reasons to start funding this nations economy!
