    snippet

    inflation are hitting Americans on numerous fronts including cost of shelter, gasoline and food prices. CNN's Evan McMorris-Santoro meets with one Texas family to observe the constraints of grocery shopping.

    end snippet


    As much as some folks want to try and spin this, regular folks are being hurt financially. These are real people facing higher prices on a weekly and at times, daily basis.

    We've seen the price at the pump soar thanks to Democrat anti-energy policies. That in turn snowballs to everything.

    This is the sad reality in which we now live. We as a nation need to stop casting a Democrat vote and get our country back on track. After that, we could then again vote Democrat and mess it up again.

    Democrat votes have consequences and for the family in this news report; obviously negative consequences

    Democrats will just raise taxes and increase welfare payments.

    Problem solved.

    It's not like they give a **** about anyone else.

    The catfood section was about picked clean at the grocery store I stopped at yesterday. A guy who was there said yeah it was like that every place he had been. I told him I wasn't sure if they weren't making as much or if people had resorted to eating it to save up money to buy gas. He laughed.

    The Democrats were warned their insane policies would create inflation. They went forward, inflation happened, and now they act surprised as the average American is screwed over by them.

    Janet Yellen should be tarred and feathers for the crap she is pushing on top of what she has already done.

    Let's Go Brandon, but the truth is this inflation is the result of many years of malfeasance by the Fed.

    There's inflation everywhere in the world.

    And it's Biden's fault.

    I'm looking at my 401s and will certainly remember to vote dems in 2022.

    Thanks for the tip.

    Biden has little to do with current inflation -- just like he has little to do with the Job's recovery. Folks love to give presidents powers they simply don't have.

    Last I knew average Joe and Jane Democratic voters buy groceries, cars, homes, gas, etc. No matter how much you have been brainwashed in your ideology, your wallets and purses are getting lighter and lighter and the party line gets harder and harder to believe.

    The sad state of affairs has been a bipartisan effort for many decades. So blaming red helmets or blue helmets is not useful.

    They can only kick the can down the road so far. Eventually you're gonna run outta road. So we have what we have. It's predictable.

    For the record, five of the six people on the board of the Federal Reserve were appointed by Mr. Negative Interest Rate Champion himself, Donald Trump.

    They're just passing off the baton to one another at this point.

    Rising prices are only one consequence of inflating the currency supply.

    In all seriousness I've noticed that to be true around here too, the cat food's been picked clean yet the dog food is overflowing, and I know there's PLENTY of dog owners in this area....weird. :confusion:

    Haven't really noticed. My larders are full.

    Maybe because I am educated and work hard.

    Maybe give it a shot instead of blaming anything else?

    So, you're saying that you aren't paying higher prices for just about everything?

    According to events a long, long time ago, canned dog food, when mistaken for hamburger and fried up in a pan, smells really, really good. You would need to check with my sister about the taste.

    The cost of feeding a standard sized dog is a lot more expensive then feeding a cat. Perhaps people are trading in the dogs for cats.....

    I see these stickers on the gas pumps, but I guess they would be good for the grocery store, Home Depot, and more....

    We have put our nation in a very dangerous position by going with China Joe and the Democrats at this time in history. The good news is.... no more mean tweets!

    Refreshing to see a POTUS step up and take responsibility whether good or bad for once. The last doofus in office saw himself as a God and his cultists agreed with him.
