Inflation has been going down over the last several months Ms. Benson, despite bird flu and price gouging in some sectors. Have you confused yourself again with something else?
Important distinction here; President Biden’s economic plans ARE working for ALL the American people. It’s the efforts of the Republican Party to undermine those plans that isn’t working for the Republicans.
2022 economy in real life. Gross Domestic Product rose 6.7%. America gained 4.5 million jobs and inflation in the last 6 months was less than 2% at an annual rate! But in the Alternate Universe none of this is true because they are facts and facts are all fake!
The stupidity of this administration energy policies are the driving force behind inflation. When transportation cost go up, ALL goods and services go up in price. We were a net EXPORTER of energy during the Trump years, prices were low, gas was cheap. The US could have replaced Russia for the natural gas they were getting from the Russians, but he was laughed at by the rest of Europe, especially Germany, and now those countries have rolling blackouts because the supply from Russia is iffy at best. This administration has been one rolling disaster after another.
The Republicans still haven’t figured out that the US has one of the lowest inflation rates. The countries governed by right wing anti- democratic leaders like Russia, Turkey, Hungary etc. that TFG admires all have extremely high inflation!
Good one Lisa, even Powell disagrees with the delusional take that things are getting better.
Though this increase was smaller than its previous hike – and even larger rate increases before that – the Fed’s latest move will further raise the costs of many consumer and business loans, and could increase the risk of a recession.
‘We will need substantially more evidence to be confident that inflation is on a long, sustained downward path,’ said Powell.
“It would be very premature to declare victory or think that we really got this,” Powell added. “We have to complete the job.”
Fed policymakers hope to avoid triggering a recession, and economic data since their last policy meeting in December generally has moved in the right direction. Though inflation remains painfully high.
Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked for claiming Illinois school got $5.1bn funding for critical race theory
I agree w Marjorie. It was a mistake for the federal government to give $5 billion to one single elementary school in Illinois to teach its students to hate white people. In retrospect it feels like $4 billion would have been enough.
I just come here to read the Dems conniption fits… I know they’d like to have her drawn and quartered, but then they’d not have her to b1tceehech about

Poor America, deluded into thinking it’s the only country suffering runaway inflation. Compared to others you’re doing well.

Well, this will set of the left. No doubt they are the 20% of the population that thinks the economy is great while the 80% suffer.

in reply to mongo above, facts about u.s. energy imports and exports tell a more complete story than uninformed opinions…
