Friday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” pollster Frank Luntz issued a stark warning over the upcoming July 4 weekend.
According to Luntz, “we are 13 days away from an absolute explosion on inflation” because people are going to realize just how expensive groceries and gas have become.

Sure not going to save 16 cents this July 4th picnic.
That’s good. If it took an expert, Frank Luntz would certainly not be qualified.
Frank who??
Amen. "Republican" pollster indeed. Frank who??
Surprisingly (or not) alcohol prices haven’t really moved much.
Maybe they figure if we stay drunk, we won’t notice as much how bad we’re getting screwed.
Just wait until the looming railroad and WestCoast port strikes hit. Then we’ll see people crying over not having more than no tampons and peanut butter.
Explosion imminent.
You voted for it Frank.
Zackly. Folks that work for a living already know.
Have they come down since the Memorial Day price hikes?
I guess we’ll see. 😎
That’s what I love about these short term predictions. The posers are outed pretty quickly.
And remember when the experts laughed at Peter Schiff on live TV back around 2007, only for it to be discovered he was absolutely right?
My challenge now is that I believe that sometimes it’s hard to predict what will happen and sometimes it’s easy. I think that back in late August of 1939 the attack on Poland was pretty easy to predict and many leaders were fairly certain we were on the verge of WWII. And I think the same sort of thing is true today.
I’ve been, from my armchair, watching economics since I graduated from high school in 1972. It’s pretty obvious we are on the cusp of the mother of worldwide recessions. I don’t mean ten years, or five years, or five months. I mean any day, anything can spark the BIG crash. Heck, it’s already started.
His boyfriend told him.
We old timers remember the Carter years.
The way people did it back then was they just cut back and downgraded in thousands of different ways—since everybody has different needs and wants.
There are always things that can be cut in the household budget—chicken instead of steak, more pasta, staycations instead of travel, buying stuff at yard sales, less or no or lower cost restaurant dining etc.
That is how you get stagflation—the consumers start changing their spending behavior.
“According to Luntz, “we are 13 days away from an absolute explosion on inflation” because people are going to realize just how expensive groceries and gas have become.”
luntz is a putz: does this fool REALLY people haven’t ALREADY realized how expensive groceries and gas have become?
Have you seen the price of chicken (yeah...I’m an old timer)
I remember the Carter years too and the gas rationing. Yes, people cut back as we are now and it just affects the whole darn economy. Let’s go Brandon!
“Since when did Luntz become an expert on economic trends?”
“I guess he took a pole.”
I see what you did there, lol....
No, but Luntz must think we haven’t noticed gas prices and we suddenly are going to wake up July 4th. He’s no economic expert, but he can read a calendar and count days I guess.
