    Check out this nifty Biden-Harris inflation calculator. It gives you all kinds of options and below you can see my results comparing September 2020 to now. I'll be honest with you, the amount of money coming into my house during this time period didn't rise We did it, Joe!

    I'll be honest with everyone, the amount of money coming into my house didn't increase at the same level of Biden-Harris's inflation even though I was told by democrats that it did.

    Folks, post pics of showing how bad Biden-Harris beat the hell out of your wallet.

    No, they don't, and Brandon lied. Costs went up, not down.

    I’m really surprised the calculator thing didn’t get much attention. I know why the Bidenistas don’t want to use it, but why are cons avoiding it?

    Lets do a fairer comparison since 2020 was in the midst of a covid shut down gas was low, houses weren't selling, people weren't shopping for cars etc. Lets compare 2018 to 2024.

    2018: 2.44%
    2024: 2.5%

    The root of inflation was the pandemic that exposed our idiotic business practices (manufacturing, inventory, supply lines, etc.) “developed “ across multiple administrations. IMO the irresponsible whining is old.

    Mine's 22%

    Social Media Erupts Over House Democrats STILL Mocking Inflation Worries After Election Beatdown.

    'Social media erupted on Tuesday after the X account for the Democratic members of the House Ways and Means Committee went out of its way to mock Americans over their continued concerns about rising prices.'

    'Reposting a tweet claiming that despite “record air travel, holiday shopping busting records,” and “stock market all-time highs,” there remain “some Pollyannas” whining that the economy is “the worst ever,” the Ways and Means Democrats account added, “And here we were thinking y’all couldn’t afford eggs!”'

    'Onlookers reacted to it like they might a particularly ugly car crash.'

    “They never learn,” chimed in House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN).

    'A CBS News exit poll from the 2024 election — which saw Republicans win the presidency as well as both chambers of Congress — found that 53% of voters called inflation a “moderate hardship” over the last year and an additional 22% called it a “severe hardship.”'

    'The same survey found that only 24% of Americans said their personal financial situation was better than it was four years ago, as compared to 45% who said it was worse.'

    Credit card debt rose 4.4% during the Golden Age of Trumpian prosperity.

    And then rose 44.4% under Kacklenomics.

    Your comparison is disingenuous as you are ignoring the sharp drop when covid hit

    Interpreting your graph, prior to your drop - 95 to 115 = 21% during the Trump admin

    The Biden admin was hot garbage, but just like all the left BS on job growth ignores the COVID impacts, you are doing the same to benefit your side

    I never claimed that COVID never hit. I included the COVID era in my chart.

    You used 100 from 1/20/21 as your comparison point to get to 4.4%. It was 115ish pre covid.

    No worries, happy days are here again. Prices will soon go back to pre-covid levels. It's only a matter of time.

    Yes. I used Trump's entire term vs Bribed Joe's, from inception to current date.

    If you followed the discussion, some rather tin-earned Democrat claimed Americans couldn't be out of money if they were able to spend for Thanksgiving. Apparently this clown hasn't heard of credit cards.

    Americans have run up $342B in credit card debt since experiencing the falling real wages under Kacklenomics and their Inflationary disaster.

    Like I said - the Biden admin has been hot garbage and I agree that the spending for Black Friday is not an indicator of a strong economy

    They show a real lack of empathy for the harm their fiscal mismanagement has caused Working Folks. In my opinion, it may be because they have salaries with COLA's, so they personally didn't feel the effects of inflation that working folks did.

    Now that Americans have connected massive debt spending to falling real wages, I'm more hopeful than I've been in a long time, that Americans are finally ready for some spending discipline.

    That's my hope, we'll see if it proves out.
