What are Y'all Gonna Do Next Month When A Gallon Of Milk Cost $11

A long-haul trucker took to TikTok this week to explain fuel prices in terms every American can understand: “What are y’all gonna do next month when your gallon of milk costs $11?”

You better wake the F*** up.

When people expect inflation, they engage in behaviors that increase inflation even more.

There are three different things Washington could do to put a stop to inflation. Doing one or two would be nice, but we’d enjoy the biggest and fastest benefits if Washington would do all three.

• Have the Fed jack up interest rates to rein in inflationary over-borrowing (including by Congress)
• Massive deregulation so that productivity could start catching up to the inflated money supply
• Congress start living within our means

There’s a fourth thing: If the Fed would stop printing up cash by the trillions to keep the Treasury solvent. But if we did the first three, this fourth one would take care of itself.

But the Fed can’t jack up interest rates because that would also jack up the interest paid on our $30 trillion debt. Maybe you know someone who bought a house they could only barely afford at a low-interest rate, but couldn’t afford it at all when their variable rate went up. That’s where we are now, only we’re talking $30 trillion.

Presidentish Biden ain’t gonna deregulate anything. From what kind of car you should drive to what kind of food you should eat to how much grooming your kids should be subjected to at school, Democrats have a regulation for that.

Congress went full Thelma and Louise on spending 20 years ago. We’ve known for a long time now that we were driving straight towards a canyon. But at every opportunity to change course, Congress has instead gripped the wheel tightly dead ahead while keeping the accelerator glued to the floor. All we’re waiting for now is the car to run off the cliff.

 

It is exactly what the left has wanted. Covid benefited them in everyway and keeps on giving. Now they can crash the economy, institute more socialism and make the rich richer in the process. What a beautiful game they have played.

Government created the problem and now Government will provide a bigger better solution!

 

Well milk can cost $11 a gal, but I am betting Budweiser will deliver the Umami to my cornflakes when it does.

 

US oil companies are price gouging us, and yes that will cost us

the only thing that will force them to lower prices is importing cheap foreign oil

 

the right does not want us to have cheaper gas... it's sad

 

actual Trump tweet

 

What is it republicans like to say?
Oh yah, get a better job. There is a labor shortage, to find a job that pays more.

 

Pull my big boy pants up and buy milk if I need it and not cry like a bitch.

What do rightists intend to do? Cry for big government to step in and make it cheaper for them?

 

Yea.....so? That tweet isn't relevant today. Also, I think you know, but are choosing to be dishonest, what the context is surrounding this tweet.

 

very relevant, Trump threatened foreign oil during covid to reduce supply, now that demand is up, the supply needs to catch up - thus high gas prices.... thanks Trump!!!

 

Yep..... dishonest.

The tweet is almost two years old during the beginning of covid. It was perfectly acceptable then and in no way relevant today.

 

Everything bad about the economy from here on out, Biden will claim is Putin's fault.

A year ago former Democrat Treasury Secretary Larry Summers warned Biden that his economic policies were going to cause inflation. Well today I listened to a video of Biden explaining how the bad economy was all Putin's fault. Funny. I don't recall Larry Summers saying anything about Putin then. Just Biden.

Here is what Summers is now saying about Biden.

“The president was wrong to blame this month’s number on Ukraine,” said Summers. He also said that “blaming corporate greed will chill business confidence, will reduce investment in expanding capacity and will likely make this worse.”

So Yes. Obama was right. "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f**k things up...",

 

Oil prices are controlled by commodities market trading. There is no such thing as cheap foreign oil.
I think its time you went back to Facebook. This seems to be a bit over your head. Like most post you make.

 

Defined gouging and prove they are doing it.

 

We're gonna live..... We're gonna die.......

 

They aren't going to do anything about it, Biden says it's Putin's fault so don't blame him and live with it.

What rightist want is to vote them out of office and bring some fiscal sanity back to the budget and the FED and try to get us through this mess Biden has created like Reagan had to do with Carter.

 

So you know that Biden doesn't control the trading floor, right? Sometimes prices rise just from panic buying - sort of like how gun owners drove up
the price of ammunition way above where it should be because of fear - not reality.

 

Never mind you again deflecting directly to Trump..... Jesus man the guy's not president..... That tweet is almost 2 years old. Do you remember what gas cost then?

 

• Absolutely nothing. I am lactose intolerant.
• Have not purchased milk in over 30 years.

 

So what is the president responsible for?

I love how suddenly the president is not responsible for anything.....

 

way to completely attempt to dodge the point...

 

What Point?

 

But of course, Reagan raised the National Debt 170% and set the stage for ever growing debt spending - so I'm not sure that's the best example.
In fact, Republicans haven't been the best at reducing the debt - Clinton scored the best. In fact, one of the best ways to slow increase
in debt is to have a split government.

George Bush raised the debt another 54%.
Clinton was the most frugal, raising the debt 32%
Bush II raised the debt 101%.
Obama raised the debt 74%
Trump added $6.7 trillion to the national debt in just 4 years.
We'll see how much Biden adds - not going to be good.

Numbers from the US Dept. of Treasury.

 

Remind me again what that has to do with cheap foreign oil?

 

Good question.

I talk to people daily, who think today's prices are a glitch - and that tomorrow's prices are another glitch, as were yesterday's. And at the same time they're convinced that the cost of living will return to 2019 level in a few weeks. They can see the problem growing exponentially, but are somehow able to compartmentalise each new insult into a unique and temporary issue. It's quite incredible to watch. Like someone walking into a room and not seeing the room itself - instead focusing in on some random tiny detail so they can ignore the room.

It appears they're so invested in denial, that there's no hope of them waking up. They'll be sitting on their couches waiting for their organs to shut down from starvation, and still bleating about things getting better in a few weeks. Assuming they have couches and homes to put them in, of course.
