Poll: 75% say doing too little to lower prices.......

I can't figure out what is doing to lower prices--if anything? But whatever, it is NOT working!

CNN: Trump sending troops is unpopular, they don’t buy his argument that it’s about crime, he’s also underwater on immigration… and 🇺🇸 know he’s raising prices not lowering them.

He does absolutely nothing but culture war flame fanning.

He is a complete fraud on every level. Just a hollow, empty shell that is incapable of doing anything but parroting bullshit 24/7.

7. Wait til they want to buy a gold wedding ring

The price of an ounce of gold is again $100 higher than last week. It is within $50 of the formerly impossible $4000 per ounce level. That’s something like $120 per gram. If this keeps up, people will have to mortgage their house to be able to afford a wedding ring.
