Consumer Price Index Up 7.7% over Last Year — 6 Comments

  1. Every American ought to ask themselves if they were better off on the last full month of the Trump Administration or today after 1 year and 10 months of the Democrat President Joseph Robinette Biden and the Democrat controlled Congress.

    Inflation rates for the Trump years, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were: 2.1, 1.9. 2.3 and 1.4 percent.

    Inflation rates for the Biden years, 2021 and 2022 were/are: 7 and 8.2 percent.

    The U.S. is in this terrible inflationary situation because of the grossly inept, incompetent President Joseph Robinette Biden and his Administration and the Democrat controlled Congress. They hugely screwed things up. After the election of Biden in late 2020, Barak Hussein Obama said this about his former sidekick vice president Biden:

    “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.”

  2. Stolen elections have consequences. Cut off our energy supply, open the borders, protect the borders of Ukraine with billions of our tax dollars oh and let’s not forget we are begging OPEC and Venezuela for oil. 81m votes? I think not.

    If you think it’s bad now, wait until the CBDC starts getting pushed by the MSM. Many have zero clue what is coming out of Davos. If you listen to what they are saying they are telling you their plans for the NWO.

  3. America is quickly becoming overrun by witless irrational people who can vote.

    These people have a name. They are called DEMOCRATS, and they absolutely destroy everything without
    exception.

  4. Hey who needs ‘stuff’ as long you get and cash those stimmy checks.

    How bout we carpet bomb households with another trillion of Monopoly money?
