Sad milestone as inflation hits 20% under Joe Biden's incompetent leadership

[marvin martian]

Biden's inflation rate and approval rate are dangerously close to crossing over each other.

There's only one way out of this...

On Wednesday, the country hit a sad milestone: Inflation under President Biden hit 20 percent. The dollar’s value has plummeted under his watch. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also confirmed that the consumer price index is resurgent and growing faster than average wages. Combined with weak GDP growth, this data shows the U.S. economy is reentering stagflation.

Historic inflation is causing declining living standards and a cost-of-living crisis. Under Biden’s presidency, grocery prices have increased by nearly one-third and gas has risen by 50 percent. It feels like every daily convenience — from a turkey sandwich to some handyman help — has increased by 50 percent or more.

Yet Biden seems entirely out of touch with this reality. In a recent CNN interview, he responded to these inflation numbers by claiming, “They have the money to spend.” In reality, it now costs the average American family $12,000 more to maintain the same living standards as before President Biden took office.

Biden also tried to deflect from this consumer pain by claiming he inherited high inflation. Fact-check: Inflation was 1.4 percent when he took office.

Trump's approval rating is currently at 55%.

Biden's is at 35%.

I rode by Arbys an hour or so ago.....Their standard roast beef sandwiches were "on sale".....Two for $6.00!....WTF?

Fuck that, when I got home I made generous Ham-N-Swiss wraps with onion, lettuce, and tomato for myself and the wife.....Less than a buck each.

We note that consumer prices have not fallen in a single month since President Biden's term began (July 2022 was the closest with 'unchanged'), which leaves overall prices up over 19.5% since Bidenomics was unleashed (compares with +8% during Trump's term). And prices have never been more expensive.


As reported in Zero Hedge right now ---in a much longer article essentially ridiculing Biden's appalling track record .

Another Biden administration will take inflation to 50% or more.

They don't ever have anything additive to say anyway.....Just FJB leftist shills.

Add local meals and state tax to that $6.00 "deal" and it looks more like $6.50. Of course their dumb shit customers will add fries and a drink so you are looking at around $12.00.....I can make a lot of Tier 1 wraps for $12.00.

Biden's high inflation is part of the Radical Left's "great reset".
They want to lower America's standard of living to be equal to the third world.

Sure, but that is just for this year. All the other years inflation was kept a bit under 20%.
If you add 20+20+20 it is only 60%, on average for the Democrats 3 years controlling the White House and Congress.
And who cares if some items went up over 100%, it is only the average we should look at.

Dems want the American people 100% dependent on government handouts. Then will leverage that to justify sky high tax increases and wealth confiscation.

Have any data showing the US is suffering from global inflation while the rest of the world is immune?


The US still has the strongest economy in the industrialized world…..including China
