B-Man Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 EVERYONE knows this. Even the ones pretending that they don't. A $100 grocery haul in 2019 costs almost $140 today — nearly 40 percent more for the same common items, causing consumers to “become creative to cope” with crippling inflation. According to a Wall Street Journal analysis of NielsenIQ data on the prices of everyday foods such as meat, vegetables, starches, and snacks, Americans are facing a dramatic increase across all categories. “A Benjamin just isn’t what it used to be,” the Journal’s Stephanie Stamm and Jesse Newman wrote, alongside graphs showing that the average $100 grocery list now costs 36.5 percent more compared to five years ago. This means that in order to spend the same amount on food as they did in 2019, shoppers would have to place almost $37 worth of items back on the shelves before checking out. https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/inflation-food-price-of-groceries-2024-5010700b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No information on what he is paying for gas over the last several months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Best Economy Ever, Jack! NYT Reports Inflation 'Unexpectedly' Rose Sharply in March Despite reassurance from the White House that the economy is doing just fine, the average American who buys things like food and gas knows it's not. Prices are still going up, making already tight budgets even tighter while.the White House says Biden is saving us money. So imagine our shock when The New York Times of all places reports that inflation rose sharply in March. https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/04/11/nyt-inflation-rose-sharply-n2394930 .

BillStime Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The irony that this thread exists considering the CULT has done nothing to help curb price gouging and wants to do nothing to help out the little guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All_Pro_Bills Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The best economy ever is a farce that needs to spend a trillion in borrowed every quarter of life support money to keep the system running. Its like my big-shot brother-in-law that always has the latest and greatest of everything and new cars in the driveway every year without a cent in the bank or any investmemts. The king of the consumption lifestyle without a pot to piss in. Like the robust US economy. A big illusion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you doing about it except whine, cry, piss and moan on a football message board? Are you doing yeoman's work to help out the little guy instead of crying like a little baby nonstop about everything from Trump to the "so called" cultists? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your guy has been President for 4 years. And in that time basically everything doubled in price. Now you want 4 more years of this? We will be standing in bread lines by then 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
