Why doesn't Sleepy Joe just borrow 8.7 trillion give 90% to the big corporations and the already filthy rich, and just watch it trickle down. That should solve all our problems. By the way what happened to Rotten Ronnie's trickle down, will it get here before Mexico's check for the wall?

Who started that vicious rumor about Joe Biden running up the inflation like Jimmy Carter? Do they not know that Bidenomics has not been half as bad as the Carter Crisis. Maybe twice as bad as any other president but not Jimmy Carter.

All of you should be using olive oil for cooking.

Is someone suggesting that we should be using shale oil for cooking?

The target inflation rate is 2%, not 3 Anti. That's why the Feds haven't cut interest rates yet.

How about the cost of cooking oil? Up from about 1.50 to $4.00 for a 48 oz bottle.
Crisco 40 ounce bottle is $3.98 at Ingles...
On June 27, 2019, this picture shows that the regular price for the same thing was $3.99...
I'd be interested to see your source about it being $1.50 in 2019. Maybe you're referring to sale prices and then comparing it to today's regular price?
But again... no one has denied inflation, so your whole argument is pointless. The difference is that some of us have proven that the hyper inflation began in April 2020, and was a global problem because of COVID. Only a fool would continue to try to blame it on Biden.

The 4.00 is referring to off brand oil. I don't think you can buy Crisco or Wesson oil for that price. Also I noticed that Crisco has shrunk the size of their bottles to 40 ounces. Pretty sure they didn't shrink the price any.

Make up your mind, Whiskey... I thought you were complaining about the price of Van Camp's brand at Ingles? And were, inexplicably, blaming it on Biden?
It's interesting that when I showed you that you were wrong on the price entirely, and that it went up more under Trump, you changed the subject to still falsely whine about Biden.
It's almost as if you know that your complaints are fake...
Can you imagine what the price of groceries will be 25 years from now if they increase at the rate they have over the last 4 years? The goal is always 3% a year, that's a healthy economy. It's true that Trumps Depression caused hyper inflation for 2 years, but 2023 was back to normal at 3.4%.
It's not just pork and beans, imagine what home prices will be if they keep going up at the rate they have in the last 4 years. Scary! Housing is different... we have more people wanting to buy homes right now than we have homes for sale...
Prices go up because the supply is far less than the demand.

We are feeling less pain from inflation than any major nation in the post pandemic world, inflation is GLOBAL! Right now, a pint of beer in the UK costs 10 pounds, approx. $11.00 American. Had we not had to suffer four years of Trump's profligacy our inflation rate would be even lower.

Walmart store brand pork and beans were .35 when the Joe Biden disaster hit America. They're .82 now, which is way over 100% increase.
Still, Great Value beans more than doubled in price since Biden took office. Along with many other grocery items!

Tilly, go back farther and compare grocery prices since your poster boy Ronnie Ray-Gun was in office.

No they don't... they just (rightfully) acknowledge that the hyper inflation began in April 2020, and that it happened on a global level post-COVID. They also acknowledge that Biden's policies made us recover faster than any other first world nation.

Democrats keep saying there no inflation so the GOP can't give you a bigger raise.

Van Camp's Pork and Beans were on sale, 2 for $1, in 2016...
Which is the same price they were in 2014...
And as I showed earlier, they were on sale in 2020 for $0.67...
That's a 34% increase during Trump's era.
The above link also shows that the regular price at Dollar General in 2020 was $0.85. And now it's $1.
So they've gone up 17.6% under Biden.

No matter what you do it cost a lot more to buy groceries now compared to 25 years ago.

Democrats can spin it any way they like but INFLATION is real, INFLATION was caused by Democrat policies. When you have to settle for less at the same price or pay more for the same thing. Live with less money, adjust your lifestyle or do without to accommodate a political party you have lost
