[malaise]

1. He thinks throwing all our tax dollars away to

Big Oil in subsidies, just to drop gasoline prices has everyone fooled.

[spinbaby]

2. Yes, gas is down

But now a steak costs more than a tank of gas, so there’s that.

[ballardgirl]

17. And if you live in Washington state

gas is still almost $4.00 at Costco

[spinbaby]

22. At that price, you probably pay more for gas than a steak

Gas here in Pennsylvania is $2.99 at Costco. My Prius takes around seven gallons, so a tank is usually just over $20. The last time I looked over a nice steak, it was close to $30. I’ve more or less given up beef.

3. Year-over-year inflation has been rising for 5 straight months, and is now 3.0%, 1.5 X the Fed's target

and prices have risen over the last 3 months for which there is data (July thru September) by 0.9%, which annualizes to roughly 3.6% (using the actual index numbers and the proper formula that includes compounding, it also comes to 3.6%). That's 1.8 X the Fed's target rate

According to the admin's own numbers.

So when do lower prices on day one take effect?

The CPI includes food and energy, it's the CORE CPI that excludes these two items. (Some people are harping on lower gasoline prices -- these are included in the CPI, and still the CPI inflation rate is going up and up)

4. Here is a site that used to

track inflation rates

https://www.bls.gov/regions/home.htm

You can drill down in here.

5. The economy is working fine for T💩p and his billionaire buds. They've never had it so good!

[B.See]

19. Exactly. Fkrs laughing all the way to the BANK.

[twodogsbarking]

6. Expect higher prices, shortages, lies.

[BidenRocks]

7. Almost time to go to the Market and

Wave at a $30 roast.

If it's not marked down, dinner is a frozen pizza, also on sale.

It takes time and driving to fight the system.

BTW: screw the stores that think I need 4 of anything just to get a better price. I'm 70 and don't have the big house anymore. Thanks Bush!

8. CEO

When has a CEO ever caused lower prices??
and trump is the CEO of America!

[BaronChocula]

16. It must have been right before

that CEO was fired.

9. Trump did offer a solution at his rally in Pennsylvania yesterday. He said:

"Americans must learn to adjust to a lower standard of living". Kinda sucks, but for the first time he's offering a solution, and I'm sure the Maga faithful will be more than happy to lower their standard of living to own the libs.

Just ask the farmers in the midwest how happy they are now that they're owning the libs.

[B.See]

20. LOWER STANDARD OF LIVING, i.e. MAKING AMERICA GREAT.

[Smackdown2019]

10. Wrong!

My priceless paycheck isnt up......

[Torchlight]

11. It really has hit our pantry this year

Coffee is easily 25% higher and simple ground beef is just not on our list due to its excessive costs. Grocery inflation has hit a four year high and degenerate trump's best and only solution is "get used to it..."

No. I don't think I will get used to it. Try again, plaque-for-brains.

[2MuchNoise]

18. "plaque-for-brains" LOL.

[spinbaby]

23. I think food is rising faster than anything else

Food and housing aren’t optional and their prices are unreal. Utilities have been through the roof, too. Gasoline is really the only thing you can count as a necessity where prices are holding.

[Tribetime]

12. He thinks people are stupid...Please proceed drumph

I'm sure you will be rewarded at the polls in 2026 for your honesty

[Intractable]

13. Eggs are $1.20 at Aldi in south Florida. Time to eat them again.

[Bettie]

14. To be fair

I don't know that he is capable of telling the truth about anything but his name.

Everything else is a fabrication...a lie.

[Johonny]

15. He promised deflation

Which would frankly also be awful . . .

[B.See]

21. Don't know how long America can survive

all of this GREAT MAKING.

[Jacson6]

24. If it wasn't for the food bank I would only be eating ramen noodles for half of the month. n/t
