Somebody told me they saw someone on MSNBC, who said inflation was not a problem, and was not going to be a problem.

At the most basic level, isn’t inflation caused by increases in the money supply? And hasn’t the money supply increased substantially?

It'd be a lot higher of CPI included groceries, gas, and housing price increases. You know, basic necessities aren't important enough to track for inflation rate.

Have you tried to buy a gun, ammo or reloading components?

Some rifle brass when you can find it is going for $2 each.

Most are around $1 each.

Primers are totally unavailable. What you have is what you are going to get.

The small amount of bullets that you can find for sale are all exotic self defense rounds. Selling at 4 times the price for normal ammo.

Yes, Lots of stuff has gone nuts on price.

The #ComDem’s plan on fully destroying the economy and the nation. Make us slaves.

My friends and I here in Texas refuse to participate.

The Biden years are upon us. And there are among us who do not believe that Trump won. The next step is general poverty.
We are no longer a viable country.

Welcome to Biden World.

This sort of inflation leads to a Venezuelan Death Spiral. That is to say, if you might need something later this year, the impulse is to not defer your purchase but buy it now, thus dumping more money into the fire, and the fire grows hotter.

Your neighbors and businesses are doing the same thing. More inflation, and more, and more, and more.

Come, give Biden time. He can crash things better than that.

Trump is nothing special. Biden will have all sorts of
records!

Trump’s: Really great

Biden’s: Really not

A 3.1% annualized inflation rate? That’s an even bigger lie than Biden beat Trump or Trump colluded with Russia.

It’s running WELL over 10% per annum.

Buy Dung thinks inflation is what you do with pretty balloons, and with the pretty balloons you can attract pretty children.

“Federal Reserve officials consider core PCE inflation, which excludes food and energy,”

Because no one needs any of that.
