    Ironic flailing for a toe hold^. Accept reality and the toe hold will appear. Hope this helps.

    No one is buying into Bidenomics. The Biden cheerleaders will never convince the majority of Americans who know how expensive things are. And yes gas prices are rising which means products will rise for obvious reasons.

    Are you saying the majority of Americans who are paying more for the necessities are not accepting reality? Latest polls show only 28% believe the economy is doing well. My guess is these are the wealthiest people or they are disingenuous partisan hacks.

    More strawman deflection flailing^......inflation was initially caused by COVID supply chain issues, Trump/Biden free money and now, greed flation in the energy and food sectors. If Trump tried to bring America into the COVID recovery ( a lot of it caused by Trump Admin's mismanagement of the pandemic) he would not have been as successful as the Biden Admin. Biden Admin = competent governance. Now, run off and pester someone else.

    You keep forgetting this is Biden's inflationary economy. And now Biden's poor handling of the Houthis attack on cargo ships will make inflation worse as products are delayed getting to US ports.

    You keep post nonsense made up in your head. Denial of reality is not a cloak unless it's invisible in your case.....
    And you ignored this which encompasses timeline, context and rooted in pure facts:
    Trump/Biden free money and now, greed flation in the energy and food sectors. If Trump tried to bring America into the COVID recovery ( a lot of it caused by Trump Admin's mismanagement of the pandemic) he would not have been as successful as the Biden Admin.

    Inflation is at 3.2%.

    One of the lowest in the G7.

    I don’t believe that is saying much. So no more interest rate cuts this year by the Feds?

    It’s not true. A if a person spent $100 on groceries 2 years ago they are $140 now. That is 40% inflation in the food sector alone. We all know what we paid for gas under Trump. Lying about the economy doesn’t change what we know is the truth.

    The MAGA are accustomed to rejecting any data that contradicts their convictions.

    So when we show them that inflation in the US is lower than in most other comparable nations, they prefer to find a way out.

    I don't know.

    The GDP growth rate is strong, more so than under Trump.

    And wages are rising faster than inflation.

    So the FED is afraid inflation will go back up.

    Good for revenue. That’s how inflation actually benefits the government. I hear credit card debt is through the roof.

    I'm not having any problems with prices. I like to shop the sales; and I buy in quantity while sales are occurring. Us inflation is less than every other country in the world.

    Meanwhile Putin was one of the main drivers of inflation worldwide, and Trump/MAGA are now bowing to Putin.

    Do you want the government to legislate to restrict people's consumption?

    Do you need to be schooled on why so many Americans are maxed out?

    How have Biden's economic policies contributed to an increase in household debt?

    His trillion dollar spending bills. The Fed is trying to counter act this by keeping interest rates high.

    Gas Buddy Cincinnati: $3.16

    https://www.gasbuddy.com/gasprices/ohio/cincinnati

    But I'm sure you can find it more expensive if you look. Where I live the prices fluctuate widely depending on where you buy. Gas stations near highways are always more expensive.

    Republicans control the purse, so debt is going to go up.
