INFLATION is bad and getting worse (Trump is gaslighting us)

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Inflation is here. Visit the grocery store. Prices are rising dramatically.

Prices have been going up on everything.

... all while Trump tells us inflation isn't happening - BUT IT IS HAPPENING.

The Trump administration needs to stop trying to gaslight us.

Americans aren't stupid - we know where we spend our money and how much we spend.

(If only Americans were smart enough to figure out that the tariffs are taxes on us - the consumers. They caused the price increases.)

But but but our "portfolios" are going up. Basically, our assets. Wait....isn't that kind of the definition of inflation? 

...amd job market not doing well either.

What we have had for the last several years is inflammation. The high inflation sustained during the Biden administration has never gone away. It is now permanent and has been permanent. The rate of inflation has slowed substantially. But we are stuck with high inflation from 2022, 2023 and 2024.  Your only hope now is to make more money. Get a better job or get a raise where you work or just start printing money yourself. There are some really good printers out there now. Good luck.

Wow. We are 1.50 cheaper. I wonder why you are paying so much more.

That's a 110% lie. It was decreasing by end of 2024 and now going up again. I told everybody on here that that would happen. It was super obvious. 

It also starred during trumps 1st term, with the covid money printing scam. Biden continued it though.

Say it however you want. Once you have inflation the accumulative inflation is here to stay. So, we are stuck with higher prices for perpetuity (forever). Prices on almost all goods will not go down. Blame who you want.

Just a question, how do you tell a lie that is 110 percent a lie?

Yah, but they're now going up faster than end of bidens term. Trumps economic policies are total disaster.

When you not only lie but then go put of your way to add in additional lies.

I will try to remember that when I am talking to esteemed forum posters.

Isn't AZ tied to CA regarding gas pricing-so this tracks.  Info might be outdated but I thought AZ lacks refinement and is reliant in CA (and its policies) pass through ?
