Karine Jean-Pierre: “Biden’ s economic plan is indeed working,”
FACT: Real wages are down, Americans are poorer than when Biden took office, and inflation has been at or above 5% for 20 months.
I have a logsheet in my truck where I've recorded every fuel purchase since May 2006.
On May 15th of that year I paid $3.31 per gallon.
Last week I paid $3.80 per gallon.
That computes to annualized 0.8% (0.008x) inflation rate for gasoline in San Jose over the past almost 17 years.
The Sky Is Falling Down.
The Eurozone’s core inflation soared to a record high in January, as the bloc’s energy crisis rages on. ...
The euro bloc is currently facing the worst energy crisis in decades after the Russia–Ukraine war caused gas and oil prices to soar.
You don't understand what is going on.

There you go again, I state a FACT and you get inside my mind.
Here;s another factoid from my spread sheet:
half gallon of low-fat (2%) organic milk at Trader Joe
1/21/2018 $3.49 (note: I started tracking my grocery expenses around that time)
2/24/2023 $3.99 (yes, today).
Annualized inflation rate for this product: 2.8%

Dude. You won't get a comment that agrees with you or is positive from Rich. Just our government is corrupt. Government has been for sure but not totally.
you don't understand.
Yesterday it was $1.24 a pound for chicken legs (minimum amount is 4 pounds) at Walmart on Front Beach Rd in Panama City Beach
I remember it was $1.03 before the pandemic.
Name all the good things the government has done in the last say, 3 years.

I hate Biden. He's an imbecile. WE HAVE NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND IN UKRAIN!!!!

Every American life is worth at least $1M. Maybe our government lies. He hasn't escalated. He's shipping weapons that were created by American workers. I don't fucking like it but please tell me the alternative?? Russia is and will always move west because their climate is shit. This isn't complicated. The current situation is the lesser of two evils. THIS is always the situation.
Russia needs to be bus tossed and so does Ukraine. Keep our kids alive is all I fucking ask. Money is money. Debt is a business contract. There is risk it doesn't get paid back. We have more resources than the rest of the world. Until you realize that you'll just keep attacking American dominance. It ain't perfect. What's the alternative? Until you present one you're kind of off your rocker.

Every accurate National Weather Service forecast, every day. Every ATC directed aviation flight, in every kind of weather, safely to its destination. Thousand of times, every day.
etc etc etc
And you're absolutely wrong - we certainly have boots on the ground in Ukraine, but they are not officially "military". They are "contractors".
Well, we don't need congress for that, do we? Or the FBI, or the NSA, or the military, or the IRS..

Frankly, I prefer my spaceship to have big tits and not fake inflated ones.
EDIT - numbers drop:
America goes back to the 80s: Surging gas prices and higher rents push inflation to 41-year high of 8.5% as White House blames it on Putin invading Ukraine
The consumer price index rose 8.5% in March from a year ago, the fastest increase since December 1981
Housing costs, which make up about a third of the index, have escalated and show no signs of cooling
Gasoline prices soared 49% in March from a year ago as the war in Ukraine rocked energy markets
Biden's administration tried to get ahead of the dire inflation news by blaming Russian leader Vladimir Putin
But Republicans place the blame for soaring prices on 'Democrats' reckless spending and failed policies'
