“I Cannot Afford To Live”:

Americans Get Emotional As The U.S. Economy Goes Off The Rails

10 Apr 2024 ~~ By Michael Snyder

As we approach what is likely to be the most chaotic presidential election in U.S. history, trouble signs are starting to erupt for the U.S. economy. In fact, CNN is actually admitting that “the long-predicted storm clouds in the economy may actually be forming”. I can’t remember the last time that I saw a CNN article with a headline like that. But at this point, it is becoming extremely difficult for the mainstream media to avoid the truth. Inflation is getting worse at the same time that many key sectors of our economy are slowing down. If you thought that the last couple of years were rough for the economy, just wait until you see what is coming next. Tremendous turmoil is on the horizon, and the American people are becoming increasingly emotional about our rapidly growing economic problems.
On Wednesday, we learned that prices jumped even more than expected during the month of March…
~Snip~
For example, Fox Business is reporting that the cost of energy “is up 36.9% from where it was in Jan. 2021″…
Tuesday’s inflation numbers punctuate what has been a dreadful three years for energy consumers. The overall cost of energy in March is up 36.9% from where it was in Jan. 2021, according to the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.​
Of course energy prices are going to go a lot higher than they are right now.
~Snip~
Just like me, so many of you can feel what is coming.
A tipping point has arrived, and the outlook for the months ahead is very bleak.
The U.S. economy is going off the rails, and the worse things get the more frustrated the American people are going to become.


Commentary:
Not according to our 46th president and his administration. We are doing so well, we don’t have to worry about the cost of illegals or of forgiving student loans, and we can freely help Ukraine with many hundreds of billions of dollars for something that could have been handled with a peace treaty.
Everything is fine!
Don't worry about housing, food, or fuel for heating, cooking or transportation. Our president has it covered.
Yes, The Rats in Washington have it covered. They tell us they won’t cut Social Security benefits, but they have no problem creating high inflation, or fudging the numbers to limit Social Security COLA’s for retirees.
The next round of inflation is going to be absolutely brutal. Many already on the brink who never would've considered crime will start to ponder it.
America's largely service sector economy will take a massive hit as what little discretionary spending still exists evaporates and near-minimum wage workers can barely afford to commute.
What happens when rural youth begin behaving like urban youth?
There is a level of hardship at which this starts to happen en-masse.
 
Economy is in good shape. Inflation is tepid. Employment high. 25-55 labor participation rate all time highs. Record 401ks. Record stock prices. Jobs everywhere.

You morons have predicted a recession since Nov 2020 when your god lost his election. Been wrong for 4 years. If you keep crying about a good economy imagine how gleeful you will be if it turns downward? So happy for you if it does.

You guys are in such trouble in November.

What chaos will you unleash when it becomes clear that there's no way you can win fairly?

Americans are standing on the edge of the greatest economic precipice ever seen , and yet there are wags who have no idea how near to the already crumbling edge that they are .

they have been predicting widespread economic disaster since clinton raised the minimum wage and before.

they subscribe to economic theories that fail to correctly predict results of their policies.

adam smithos oreliminary observations on the "wealth of nations" have had 200 tears and more of study and revision inro economic modekls that their ideology rejects.

their problem. i just banked over 20 k by shorting dear leader (or was i backing trump's insider trading play? who cares.) . wonder what a new camry costs?

my biggest fear' after 2024 election: a lot of these guys are going to be broke, disappointed, and well armed

Your opinion is out of step with 90% of the American voting public. That's good.... keep telling people who can't pay rent, who can't buy food and who can't make the next car payment that everything is great. See what you get. Nobody has to wait for the economy to turn down It's already down. Unemployment is low because people who are working two jobs still can't pay the bills. Labor participation is high and we still have the growth of the working homeless. This translates into obtuseness and deafness from the small percentage of Americans who benefit from the investment sector while Main Street languishes in the very real specter of approaching poverty.

The phony government orchestration of prosperity is a numbers game that does not translate into real purchasing power for the average family unit.

I would argue that they are the easiest to cheat if the manipulator is trained well and has natural talents .
Gullible and trusting Sheeple . The gourmet's favourite dish .
 
Doc7505 the ukraine war will be solved, eventually, with a peace treaty.

our
project is to insure that there is still a ukraine to sign it.

Sometimes fragile people need impossible dreams to keep them feeling relatively "in control" .
Their problem arrives when Reality finally takes over
 
Could not have not written a better litany of misinformnation if I was Mr J Goebbels in person .
Americans are standing on the edge of the greatest economic precipice ever seen , and yet there are wags who have no idea how near to the already crumbling edge that they are .


True story. Was at a big box club last night and noticed the cooler for dairy had the lights off. I asked what is going on.
Someone earlier in the day walked in and fainted when they saw the price of eggs. Busted their head wide open as well.
They want to keep the lights off so you can't see the prices.

4.99 for a dozen eggs.

Bro, that used to be .89 cents when Trump was President.

Your nonsense words do not make it so. Are you in the market? I am and I am wealthier for it. You own a home? 70% of Americans do and it’s made them wealthy.
 
My Senator calls it Greedflation. From 2020 to 2022, inflation rose 14% while corporate profits rose 75%. Greed is the #1 cause of Socialism.

If you say year after year that a recession is coming, eventually your dumb ass will be right.

If corporate America manufactures a financial crisis before the election in order to help Trump, that's more reason to vote for Biden.

I can't imagine Republicans are going to win anything this year with abortion being on the ballot.

Obama handed Trump a great economy. He passed a tax break like Bush did when he gave Clinton's surplus away to the rich. It gave us a very small bump in Obama's already good economy. Trump slowed the economy starting a trade war with China. Like a bull in a china shop. I want a diplomat to be POTUS you want an authoritarian who EVERYONE you don't agree with should fear.

You cheer when Trump says cops should rough up suspects who are cuffed then buy his bible with the constitution and bill or rights included?

READ IT BITCH!

I hope you`re right but I`m concerned that the progressives will turn on Biden over Israel. It was the progressives that but Mango Mussolini in the Whitehouse because they refused to vote for Hillary Clinton. Hillary`s crimes? She made money giving speeches to bankers.
