We have our own energy... we have more oil and natural gas than any other nation in the world... we would be using it if we were not so intent on making China great again.... and so gullible as to believe global warming will destroy the planet... its absurd...Than blame US government for not having there own energy grid but needing the Middle East and Russia. If the Middle East and Russia disappeared the US would be in dark ages.
Not in the slightest.Than blame US government for not having there own energy grid but needing the Middle East and Russia. If the Middle East and Russia disappeared the US would be in dark ages.
Real wages are still quite high both historically and over the past decade.Then there is the bread and butter economy that is massively inflated making it very difficult for low and medium earners to meet their monthly bills.
The unemployment rate is very low.Its not silly... people are hurting... the economy sucks... people are losing jobs... gas is still too high food is outrageous.... credit card debt. is at a record high... card delinquency is at an all time high... home and auto repos are up... the media will not tell the truth... so you have to search it out yourself....
Unemployment is up this month and inflation is also up 3.1%... so people are losing their job as prices soar... where is your media at?... where are the man in the street interviews at gas pumps and food stores... where are the media clips of growing food lines... it all exists but we have a very dishonest news media... they are lying to you so go around them and do your own research...The unemployment rate is very low.
Gas is about $3/gallon, not that bad especially compared to increases in wages.
Credit card delinquency rate is nowhere near the all-time high in Q2 2009.

Go to the grocery store.
An unemployment rate of 3.7% is very low by historical standards.Unemployment is up this month and inflation is also up 3.1%... so people are losing their job as prices soar... where is your media at?
If you think anecdotes paint a reliable picture of the macro-economic state of things you shouldn't be recommending anyone to go research since clearly you don't know what the word means.... where are the man in the street interviews at gas pumps and food stores... where are the media clips of growing food lines... it all exists but we have a very dishonest news media... they are lying to you so go around them and do your own research...
A rising inflation rate hurts people who have families to care for... it hurts the working people... the elderly on fixed incomes... so does an unemployment rate over 2%.,.. saying its not as bad as the people think is not helping them...An unemployment rate of 3.7% is very low by historical standards.
An inflation rate of 3.1% is a drop from the 3.4% of previous month. That isn't "soaring".
The long term average inflation rate in USA is 3.28%.
I don't get your second question, I don't own any media. I'm guessing you want them to report that the unemployment rate is low, and inflation has dropped from previous to a level below the US historical average?

This is utter nonsense, 5% is considered full employment rate because there is always churn in the labor market. Any unemployment rate under 4% is outstanding.so does an unemployment rate over 2%.,.. saying its not as bad as the people think is not helping them...
You were puzzled as to why "my media" (somehow I was given the media) aren't reporting economic measures that are actually pretty healthy, and now worrying about fixing something that doesn't need fixing.And my main issue with the economy is that it can and could have been fixed
Ahhh ha! I think we have found what the true driver of your bizarre economic viewpoint is... the political party of those in charge.that's what Biden and the democrats are missing as well...
Interest rate up again... they did that for a reason...The inflation rate:
December 2023 = 3.4%
January 2024 = 3.1%
You do know what the word "rising" means right? Hint = that ain't it.

There are things that need fixing, like housing costs. But you're just flailing away with concern over the unemployment rate being above 2%, that is silly.

For the record, I don't given Biden much credit for this. If anything Trump gets more credit for the massive stimulus spending during Covid that kept consumer spending flowing and for nominating Powell who is turning out to be a lot more right on his policies than most people thought he was.
Real pain at the pump and the dinner table is also quite high among the majority of Americans.
The dinner table and gas pump is a relatively small percentage of the average American family's expenses, which is probably what leads folks on here to draw incorrect conclusions about inflation versus wages.Real pain at the pump and the dinner table is also quite high among the majority of Americans.
Ahh so your ridiculous attempt to spin a 3.1% inflation rate has gone nowhere, so now your evidence is interest rates?Interest rate up again... they did that for a reason...
People know what their everyday costs are and they are way up... 10,000 more per year for a family of four.... every public utility in the nation has or soon will go up.... food still going up... also what's up are delinquent credit card payments and car repos and late mortgage payments all going up with credit card debt.... so take your silly little graph and show it to someone as gullible as you....Ahh so your ridiculous attempt to spin a 3.1% inflation rate has gone nowhere, so now your evidence is interest rates?
Interest rates are dynamic based on many factors, but I'm curious if you see their rise as a sign of a bad economy, were you also seeing it as a sign of a good economy when interest rates fell or does it only work one way where you ignore what isn't convenient for your "economy bad" thing and jump on whatever works for you?

Not if you are in the lower income brackets where the majority of Americans are these days. You and I may not feel the pain, but they do.The dinner table and gas pump is a relatively small percentage of the average American family's expenses, which is probably what leads folks on here to draw incorrect conclusions about inflation versus wages.
