Another Monday with excellent economic news for Americans!

No, his inability to recognize the fact that prices are going down across the board is just a product of his feelings. Nobody gives a sh*t about "what his eyes are seeing".
I’m saying inflation is easing which is what the article is about.
Covid. It was covid. Trump had everything going as good or better before covid.
Buying is down this year at our store as it is at all the shops around us. I’m guessing that’s the case at many retail companies throughout the country. The lower earners bracket is where most of the wage increases have happened. We are an affluent town so those wage increases don’t particularly help our local stores. They do help Walmart, Target, fast food stores and other places lower earners shop. Inflation needed to be slowed, so this short term pain was necessary, imo.
I agree it was COVID coupled with reckless tax cuts and spending. The point is it didn’t start under Biden.
PR machine is in overdrive. Fox has spent the whole Biden administration blaming him for inflation, now that inflation is going down and perhaps some of his policies are working, they have switched to "inflation is happening all over the world" and are trying to backpedal on Biden's impact.
A typical American household now carries around $10,000 in card debt, by one recent WalletHub estimate.
Americans are hiding their credit card debt
One-third of Americans with credit card debt say no one else knows how much they owe, according to a new report. The nation’s credit card balance hovers around $1 trillion, and interest rates routi…thehill.com
That's a spending problem and not prioritizing what's important. It's not the newest I phone, new car, huge house, etc... we don't spend well as a society because we are told to just spend, spend, spend.
Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan proved how weak and stupid he was. Predators attack when they sense a wounded animal.
You think one person has the power to do all that? I mean really... Joe Biden created inflation in Great Britain and other countries across the world? Ridiculous
The idea that you think trump would have done it better is ludicrous to me.
Imo, Afghanistan was always going to end badly.
Do you mean the usual suspects like Americans who can't afford the cost of living?
Right. And that wasn’t the fault of Joe or the former guy. There’s still price gouging as Rep. Porter showed in her House committee. At least Biden has been trying to lower it and he’s done better than anywhere else. I still await a Republican plan to help. Anything other than grievances.
I agree with you. I shake my head at the prices of things every time I go to the store. Especially SMH when we go out to dinner.
Better start tuggin' on those bootstraps.
On one hand the left freaks out when measures are put in place to curtail public assistance programs and on the other hand they like to champion the great economy and make fun of people that may be struggling. Another day in lib land.
One, that’s flatly idiotic. Two, the military KNEW for more than a year that there was a withdrawal date. It was set by your buddy Trump (cue the bleats of never having voted for him) nearly a year before the end of his term. Then Biden EXTENDED withdrawal for another four months. If it was f’ed up, blame the people who were responsible for planning and executing it.

Really? Maybe I missed it. Who’s “making fun of people who may be struggling”? Other than wingnuts like you, of course.
Post #21...
Not to mention the flippant and dismissive posts about high grocery prices.
I’ll agree with that. And given your obvious concern, I’m sure you’re on board with expanding SNAP benefits to ease the burden on the poorest families. Oh…wait. You’re very dismissive of them. Even flippant.
I'm consistent on these matters. It's the left that plays both sides of it. That's my point.
Watched Larry Kudlow, a former Trump employee, on Fox Business Channel today.
BTW...Kudlow seldom talks about business items, it's 99% politics.
Poor Larry is gonna need a chiropractor after twisting like a pretzel trying to spin the good economic news as a negative.
Kept bringing up global issues where the WH has little to no influence.
It was both sad and funny.
Republicans are in a tough spot right now, especially with RonnyBoy falling like a rock.

I don't know why you're struggling but maybe you could pick up an extra shift or a 2nd job. Those bootstraps aren't going to pull themselves.
The buck stops at the top. Trump got out of Obama pathetic deal with Iraq. Maybe don't give up the air support first. Biden is in charge so blame falls to him.
It is flatly idiotic you don't understand cause and effect.
Bullshit. Just got back from Wal-Mart. Holy shit is stuff outrageous. Everything is expensive.
