The goods and services American workers could afford with $100 in 2020 now cost $119.27, a recent Bloomberg report found.
The increased prices will likely impact the 2024 election results since they come after President Joe Biden implemented his economic policy of so-called “Bidenomics.”
Over half of voters in key swing states said grocery prices are the top way inflation has impacted their budget, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult survey.

I bet it’s more than $119.
And Social Security gets a 2.96% Cost of Living adjustment for next year.
Bidenomics is the exact inverse of Reaganomics.
More taxes
More regulation
More government spending
I call BS. Government methodology for inflation is very tilted toward understating it. That’s an open secret.
Show me the place I can buy all my things for only 19% more than when FJB was installed. I want to move there.
Bidonomics = hiding in your basement smelling little girls and hoping things turn around by next November so you can claim credit!
How does income grow, if 106+ billion are out of work? That is counting those on UE and those who ran out of their UE and are still unemployed. PT work for DSSI workers are getting fewer hours. Those applying for DSSI wait 15+ months for a DSSI CASE WORKER to be assigned! Do they really think a man who had a TIA & QUAD BYPASS will ever work again?

35-Year-Old Firefighter Injured by COVID Vaccine and Forced to Retire Sues New York City for Disability Benefits
A New York firefighter is suing New York City for denying him expanded disability payments after he was forced into early retirement due to permanent heart damage from the city-mandated COVID-19 vaccine. His lawyer says the denial is part of a “disturbing pattern of deliberate cruelty” toward the vaccine-injured and anyone who spoke out against the mandates.
“I bet it’s more than $119.”
You bet right, this article is watering down the reality. It is at least $150+. This is how psyops works. Call out a problem while purposely under cutting the real truth so it doesn’t look quite as bad as it really is.
Everyone’s standard of living is being engineered down.
Older folks who have been saving for retirement for 30-40 years
have seen the purchasing power of that money go down by over 20%.
Evil policies by evil people.
It’s a fabrication.
Bloombergs politcal leanings are solidly left, it’s propaganda. Much worse than 15% inflation over 3 years. Based 0n the old methods of inflation calculation it’s 15% PER period.

I can GUARANTEE it is more than $119.00
Groceries are now costing me at least 50% more. Not to mention fuel, electric, natural gas, and EVERYTHING else.
They may be playing games with lowering gas prices here in Texas, but I bet none of this will ease off the throttle of spiking natural gas costs for gas furnaces, water heaters, and stove tops.
$119.00 would be nice. Around here it’s closer to $134.00 and rising.
Turkey’s at Thanksgiving in Cincy, Ohio was $.49 cents a lb with a $25.00 purchase at Krogers. In the Memphis, TN area it was $.99 cents per lb with the same $25 requirement. Now explain that one? All beef is higher too. And beef at Krogers sucks unless you put it in the Crockpot. Shelves have empty spots. All but junk food, candy, chips, and booze. While high, they aren’t bare shelves.
106.4 Million U.S. Adults Do Not Have A Job Right Now
19 months in a row! The Conference Board’s index of leading economic indicators has now fallen for 19 months in a row. When something happens for 19 consecutive months, that is definitely a trend
When a working age American is not working, the government puts that individual into one of two categories.
Right now, there are only 6.5 million U.S. adults that are officially considered to be “unemployed”.
But another 99.9 million U.S. adults are considered to be “not in the labor force”. So they don’t count as being “unemployed”.
When you add those two numbers together, you get a grand total of 106.4 million U.S. adults that do not have a job right now.
At no point during the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 did that number even reach 90 million.
So don’t let anyone convince you that unemployment is low.

Big Corporations, Investors Scooping Up Vast Swaths of Nebraska Farmland
Out-of-state corporate farming operations and investors spent $246 million on Nebraska farmland over the past five years, the most of any buyer type. Their deep pockets contribute to spiraling land prices that make expansion impossible for many local farmers.
Cost of Illegal Immigration Greater Than Annual Gross Domestic Product of 15 States - Judicial Watch
I would at least bump it up to $140 now and that still might be on the low side. I’ve changed my grocery budget since January 2021 and it’s still way up. If shopped the way I did pre-Biden for groceries I’d be spending close to double the money on food.
I remember paying $1.27 for a package of the $2.46/package cookies I’m nibbling on.
"$100 of Goods and Services Now Costs $119 After Years of Bidenomics [??? emphasis added]"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Beware of politically correct vilification of Biden. After all, Biden is nothing more than corrupt Congress's scapegoat, comparable to when corrupt Congress let 2nd term Obama get away with many unconstitutional executive order edicts imo.
Regarding so-called Bidenflation, the drafters of the Constitution had actually given ordinary qualified citizen voters the power to indirectly regulate the value of money by giving voters the power to vote for federal representatives who do have such power.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 5: To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof [emphasis added], and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;"
So why aren't career (hint) lawmakers owned by the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties taking full constitutional responsibility for regulating the value of money anymore?
The constitutional reality is that activist Democratic President Woodrow Wilson scandalously ignored first leading Congress to successfully petition the states to appropriately amend the Constitution to give Congress's power to regulate value of money to non-popularly elected federal bureaucrats before signing the unconstitutional bill that established the Federal Reserve.
That being said, consider that the next MAJOR political event in the U.S. is not when hopeful Trump 47 is elected for the third time, but when Democratic and Republican Trump supporters primary ALL state and federal incumbent lawmakers and executives up for reelection in 2024, except for MTG, Gaetz & Company, Jordan (and others?).
More specifically, patriots need to replace do-nothing incumbents with patriots who will not only support Trump to finish draining the swamp, but will also support Trump in leading the new Congress to surrender state powers that the unconstitutionally big federal government has been stealing from the states for the last 100+ years back to the states.
Finally, consider that probably the main reason that we hear media complaints about the electoral college is that it is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
