    HYPERLINK has full article

    snip

    The poll found that 10.5% of those surveyed reported “eliminating all non-essential purchases”.................

    “More than 50% (53.33%) said they now spend between $101-$500 more per month on groceries. According to the survey results, 32% of drivers are now spending between $101-$250 more per month on gasoline, with 13.5% reporting a monthly increase in fuel costs between $251-$500.


    end snip

    In my opinion, it's high time that the media accept a lot of the blame for advising people to vote Democrat. No good ever comes from full Democrat control and the harm of that is now widespread. Democrat voters also need to accept the part they played in causing this train wreck.

    Biden is causing all of this with his idiotic green policies which will all be reversed in 2025. That makes all this suffering pointless and just plain sadistic.

    Folks are taking personal responsibility for themselves and here we have rightists who want big government to make their lives easier for them.

    Conservatism is truly dead with current trumpists and rightists. LOL

    Or, in unrelated news, 17% of Americans (minimum) are morons for not adjusting their spending in the current environment....

    Helping out the MAGAs - 100%-83%=17%

    That it! Great analysis, why didn’t I think of this? It’s the consumer’s fault.

    Some consumers are just not bright enough to stay out of debt or control their spending.... Been that way since the first "pay on credit" transaction was made in the world...

    Consumers that can adjust to current circumstances will almost always come out on top...

    You DO know inflation is a current world-wide issue right?? I sure hope 100% of consumers outside of the US are adjusting...

    A RECYCLED Thread ...
    Deserves a RECYCLED Response...
    So, let me say THIS (about That):
    Totally, Bro'...
    Same Old Song and Dance...
    This is the worst situation in the history of the World.
    Biden's "Inflation" makes conditions during the Great Depression look like the Halcyon Days of Roman Bread and Circuses.
    Hell, compared to "Biden's America" the Slums of Calcutta look like the High-Rent District of Dubai.
    As far as "NEVER voting for Any Democrat Ever again"...
    Even in an election where Only Democratic Candidates are on the ballot and there in No "Write-In" Option.
    A person with a perfect voting record (showing up to vote in every election since age 18.) would have to sit it out.
    Besides, Everybody KNOWS:
    Inflation is ALL The Dems. Fault.
    Every Democratic Vote in American History (Dating back to those Democrats who first voted for Thomas Jefferson) caused this Unheard of INFLATION!
    Anybody whoever voted for any Democratic Candidate (Including President, Senator, Congressman, State, Local, Etc.), in the History of the United States (back to the days of Thomas Jefferson) OWNS This Inflation!
    This is ALL Their Fault!
    INFLATION! Consequences! Common Folk!
    And, this Scourge of Inflation is ALL The Dems. Fault!
    So, the next time you vote--Do NOT Vote Dem!
    The Dems Caused this Rampant Inflation.
    Consequences! Common Folk!
    Remember:
    Inflation is ALL The Dems. Fault!
    Just Like
    Unexpected Car Problems...
    Your Fave team Losing the Big Game...
    Unfortunate Health Problems...
    Random Industrial Accidents...
    Rain on Parade Day...
    ^Are ALL The Dems Fault!
    So, to Recap, In Case You Missed It:
    Inflation!
    Consequences for Common Folk!
    ^ALL THE DEMS FAULT!

    Anyway, just remember:
    IF Trump had been Re-Elected Gas would be 99 Cents a Gallon, Putin would have never invaded Ukraine, Unicorn Farts would have solved Global Warming.
    BUT!
    Inflation! Consequences! Common Folk!
    DEMS BAD!

    Necessary Goods increase in Price?
    And...
    That leads to a Decrease in Discretionary Spending???
    This is a Completely Novel Concept...
    Unheard of in the History of Economics!

    Thx for bringing this Never Before Seen Phenomenom to Everyone's Attention...

    Instead of thousands dead daily from Covid, people have to pay a little more for groceries. Seems like a good deal to me. Anyone struggling should find a better job, now is a great time to look for work. Labor shortages all over, good time to get a pay hike.

    So how did you determine the 83% of those surveyed were all Republicans? Or are you attacking the Republicans here on PF and those members that are replying to the OP?

    A little more for groceries? A little? I’m surprised you didn’t spin this as a way for turbo obese people to lose weight.

    In what way? All conservative folks want is for Biden to stop attacking the economy with his stupid. No one is asking for, or demanding a hand out. That's what your team do.

    And the result of being responsible even when Biden et al are not, is destroying confidence, destroying culture, and devolving the nation into any third world banana republic. But you cheer. It's what you want, no?

    How is Biden "attacking the economy"? This is a puzzling claim.

    Umm, no. Righties want Big Government Leftists to stop f*cking up and making life harder on Americans.

    PS. Your disingenuousness isn't clever at all.

    Fairytale beliefs about the economy isn't clever at all.

    What is Biden doing to make it "harder on Americans"? This seems to be a global problem.

    Do you do anything but promote division? Seriously, the least informative post every day all day!

    I bet it is for you. It seems to be baffling his administration's brain trust. I bet you know what the "great rest" is though...

    I'm a well-educated man. Your claim isn't based upon reality. This is why it is puzzling.

    Indeed, the Left's fairytale economic beliefs aren't clever at all.

    LOL - So, you have no clue, and what is it with pretending that things aren't harder on Americans? Do you actually think Biden & Co.'s inflationary policies are making life easier on Americans?
