    U.S. inflation hit a 40 year high in November, cementing high and rising inflation as the hallmark of the first year of Joe Biden’s presidency.

    The Labor Department said the consumer-price index—which tracks what consumers pay for goods and services—rose in November by 6.8 percent from a year ago. That was the fastest 12-month pace since 1982 and the sixth straight month of inflation above 5 percent.

    Brandon did that! But if you don't eat, drive, or heat your home this inflation isn't that bad right?

    The real deal, is that this inflation isn't going away soon, likely extending to 2024 due to Brandon policies.

    And to those who voted Brandon to get rid of the Bad Orange Man, enjoy paying more for everything, as well as everyone you know...you really showed Trump what's what.

    Democrat votes have consequences. Did anyone expect anything other than the train wreck that we now have. Imagine if the media covered Covid the way they did with Trump as well as reported on inflation and the pain felt by the common folk..........just imagine

    When the KING of Inflation, RW Icon Ronald Reagan was President!
    I always under the impression that the GOP thought that things were GREAT Under Reagan?
    Now, the RW is going out of their way to shine the light on the fact that their Hero (Ronald Reagan) was the KING of Inflation?

    Puzzling.
    Just more tarnish on the Reagan Legacy.:smh:

    :roflol:

    IF the GOP Really wanted to win in 2020...
    THEN, they should have nominated a candidate who was actually capable of beating Biden.

    Biden and the Dems Back-To Back-To Back $Trillion + Red Ink Orgies is stealing the spending power from the American People.

    They know the American People will throw them out at their first opportunity, so now they are scrambling to steal everything that is not red hot or nailed down.

    BIDENFLATION: US inflation surges to 39-year high as consumer prices soar higher.
    [​IMG]
    Demented Biden/Dems Destroyed A Generation Of Work In A Matter Of Months.​

    And they are still trying to do even far more damage.

    MANCHIN SOUNDS ALARM ON ROARING INFLATION AS SPENDING DRUNK DEMOCRATS FIGHT FOR MORE DESTRUCTIVE ROCKET FUEL FOR THEIR ILL-AIMED RED INK ORGY SPENDING BILL

    The Devastation is Economy Wide:
    • Energy prices are up 33.3% year over year.
    • Gasoline is a stunning 58.1% higher than it was a year ago.
    • Food prices have also climbed 6.1% higher over the year,
    • Used car and truck prices are up 31%.
    "Rising inflation is eating away at wages and salaries that American workers have seen in recent months – bad news for President Biden, who has seen his approval rating plunge as consumer prices rose."

    "The eye-popping reading – which marked the sixth consecutive month the gauge has been above 5% – threatens the passage of the" misnamed "Build Back Better bill: Sen. Joe Manchin raised concerns this week about soaring inflation and refused to commit to supporting his party's massive social spending and climate plan until he sees the final text of the $1.7 trillion spending plan."

    This would be their third massive inflation fueling $Trillion Plus spending bill in a matter of moths. They have completely lost their minds.

    Proverbs 30:16-16 - Four Things That Are Never Satisfied

    Where the dead go, and the barren womb,
    Earth that is never satisfied with water,
    And fire that never says, “Enough.


    Joe Manchin:
    And man have they flooded the economy with hot money.

    As runaway inflation continues out of control, "Fed officials have started to suggest they may have to react to rising prices by speeding up their withdrawal of support for the economy." Biden and Dems Free Spending Orgy counterindicts Fed Policy.

    Real shame that Biden and the Dems screwed everything up.

    The ‘cabal’ that bragged of foisting Joe Biden on us must answer for his failed presidency.

    Inflation, you say? Could be caused by printing trillions of dollars not backed up by anything. Jimmy Carter to the red phone please. Jimmy Carter to the red phone.

    Biden's a complete failure.

    Jill Biden Insists POTUS's Brain Isn't Scrambled Eggs
    [​IMG]
    Jill says he's OK.

    "For the second time in less than 18 months, Jill Biden has insisted that her husband, the sitting President of the United States, is mentally fit to serve."

    [​IMG]
    Defends his mental fitness.

    Politico/Morning Consult survey: just 46% of those polled agreed with the statement "Joe Biden is mentally fit," while a larger percentage, 48% disagreed.

    "Lawmakers have insisted that Biden, the oldest president in the history of the US at 81, take a cognitive test after multiple verbal blunders - which spox Jen Psaki has blamed on allergies."

    Jen is the official liar for the Administration.

    Time to buy real estate and finance it.
    In just a few years, your mortgage payment will start taking smaller share if your income at an increased rate.

    Bidens approval numbers are in the gutter and because of the fastest recovery ever, lol.

    Last week it was revealed that the Whitehouse met with several lefty media outlets to change how news on the economy was reported.

    Imagine if Trump had done that.

    These freaks are lightweights.

    Like I said in another thread they are also changing the CPI items so to manipulate the inflation rate :) The DNC is the most idiotic to date, they now believe by fabricating the inflation numbers that they will fool people that can no longer make ends meet.. Personally, I can't help but enjoy this, I know sadistic bastard I am ;) But sometimes the best lessons are the ones that hurt the worst :(

    With interest on savings at near absolute zero why not gamble some of it in the markets?

    Actually, it is worse than that. The CPI is a phony number for politicians to use.

    Wall Street doesn't seem as worried about the temporary inflation as all of the trumpists do. LOL

    The problem here is that while my own stocks are also doing well, I'm not so sure the hoi polloi are really feeling glad about it. I mean yeah, I can afford the rise in gas prices and heating and suchlike, but I don't see the poor doing as well. And I see them quite often both at school and at the local homeless shelter I do drives for. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there's real suffering out there because of inflation and the people that can afford the rising prices the least are being hit hardest by it - and without that nice feeling about their 401k.

    The only reason inflation wasn't worse in November is due to European, Oceania, and American governments announcing the discovery a new variant that would force more Covid restrictions, shutdowns, and travel bans. Some claimed the new variant mutated in an HIV patient. The oil market has rightly priced the ‘worst case scenario’ after the Omicron scare, and oil prices have recovered after news that the variant isn't as dangerous as previous strains. https://www.news18.com/news/business/oil-prices-post-biggest-weekly-gain-since-august-4542695.html

    The Biden Administration's talking points and policies are “a distraction from the fundamental market shift that is taking place and the ill-advised government decisions that are exacerbating this challenging situation. Demand has returned as the economy comes back and is outpacing supply. Further impacting the imbalance is the continued decision from the administration to restrict access to America’s energy supply and cancel important infrastructure projects... Rather than launching investigations on markets that are regulated and closely monitored on a daily basis or pleading with OPEC to increase supply, we should be encouraging the safe and responsible development of American-made oil and natural gas.” https://oilprice.com/Energy/Oil-Prices/US-Shale-Slams-Bidens-Oil-Policies.html

    Every investor over the last week has come to the conclusion that the Biden Administration, along with Chinese and European governments, is attempting to manipulate the price of oil and natural gas. The recent strategies (releasing reserves and Omicron fear-mongering) may have sent shockwaves through the markets, but there was no meaningful drop in prices, and oil prices at the pump have restarted the upwards trend. Democrats are also trying to scare people into staying home for Christmas instead of sharing the holiday with family. I bet we get some more news during Christmas just like we did on Thanksgiving.

    I'm in the same boat economically. Homeless shelters have already run out of food near me. Even people in college are worried about food, housing, and gas prices. Since the Summer people have been hearing the same BS from this Administration about inflation settling down, but it's economically impossible unless there's a pullback of economic activity. You see the Covid approval numbers falling for Democrats cause everyone is wise to the game. People ask me if I think food prices are going to drop, and my answer is the same as it was when Biden was hoaxing the American public about "transitory inflation". No. It will only get worse. Everyone rightfully blames Biden which is why the A pollsters have his approvals are in the low 40s and disapprovals anywhere from 50-58 percent. I thought his bottom would be 40%, but now I think it can drop to 35%.

    If you have assets, inflation isn’t a big deal. If you don’t, then you are going to suffer. Wages trail inflation. it is what it is.
