Gas prices $2.60 near me - Righty narratives flop

[postman]

Aggregate matters.

Not when aggregate wage increases beat inflation.

 

[sartre play]

The average price of gas under Bush when he came to office was appx $1.50. $3.30 when he left. You are considering that a success?

Average Gasoline Prices Under The Past Four Presidents

gas price have had price spikes under every president, That includes BUSH. SITUATIONS CAUSE SPIKES.

Turbo charging......also limits the life cycle of the engines.

Not if it's done right.
That's why many brands give 100,000 mile 10-year coverage.

None of that will make the middle class rich.

1. Energy cost goes down by diversifying energy - they are low now btw.
2. We do need more starter homes and high density housing
3. That will drive up inflation - the lack of labor was the biggest cause of recent inflation
4. I tend to think that is a result of the lack of housing making the practice profitable - build more housing
5. Youre helping those at the bottom by paying them less? Hilarious, you are all over the place.
6. Pubs killed flexible payments during residence recently, BTW. My son is an ER Doc.
7. Not that simple. Healthcare is expense because you will pay that. Only real solution is anti-American and that is nationalization. Otherwise it stays expensive. That is up to Americans if they want a free market expensive solution or a more affordable government solution.

1) Not compared to 2019
2) Land is too expensive so builders build high end homes. Need incentives to build starter homes
3) Nope. Automation will replace em and we would not have to give all the free benefits and they are consumers. Fewer people chasing goods will lower prices.
4) Houses being built are too expensive. Need starter homes.
5) I am because they should strive to earn more. Min wage is for students, part timers and those who want some extra income. Not a career
6) I am talking Fed tax rate. Not one party has suggested what I suggested.
7) I agree it is not that simple. But if we have more doctors prices go down. Look at lasik. 100% free market. More doctors entered and prices went down. Econ 101.

Aggregate matters. If I need to buy shampoo and it cost 3.00 and now it’s $3.60…that 60 cents stays and then becomes $3.62. You would say since you’re an idiot, what is 2 cents? But it’s 62 cents not 2 cents. Inflation means it’s still going up but at a slower pace you gender confused defect. Now do the same for every single grocery item and see how that feels, Herr Lesh.

Aggregate inflation is a useless statistic

What can be done about past inflation?

Not a thing. Can we do a thing about the 10% inflation from the Reagan years? Of course not

What matters is
Current inflation- very low
Recent inflation- low
Trending inflation -dropping
Future inflation predictions- lower under Harris than Trump as per the Wall Street Journal

Anything else is politics

 

[Frankenstein]

Same day in 2019 (November 5, 2019) gas was $2.79… People now make 30% more. So Gas is actually cheaper now than under Trump during his heyday.

It's almost as if they are pandering to voters near an election!

An elitist would say. You don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s not how much you make it’s how much you save. Savings rate is at an all time low and credit card debt is at an all time high

If you would do even a meager amount of research you'd see that is absolutely untrue.

Debt is LOW.

Savings is normal; exclude the silly covid years.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Ghead. Tell is you have a Corolla

WRX

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

This is why democrats should not be allowed to vote. ******* morons!
50% increase is not a good thing. A 50% increase after having endured 100%+ increases is not a good thing.

Bush, Bush and Trump put the country in recession

That didn’t happen. Not for the average middle class family. Hence savings rate is at its lowest and credit card debt is at an all time high

 

[sartre play]

It is $2.59 here at Sam's but a dime or two more at most places. That said, I got a stack of property tax bills this week. Screw Biden's inflated housing market.

HOUSE prices UP due to BIG money buying up everything they can.

As you saw in my example Biden/Harris caused the pain. Now we have to deal with it. What can be done? Don’t reelect who caused the pain in the first place.

Yes, credit card debt in the United States is at an all-time high, reaching $1.14 trillion in 2024

Are you feeling OK?

Here is the link since you’ll cry that I lied

Credit card debt hits record $1.14 trillion, New York Fed research shows

Credit card balances rose in the second quarter of 2024, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found.

As we select the next President today lets all thank Joe for low gas prices.

• Guess it wasn’t the keystone pipeline
• Guess Joe didn’t destroy the oil industry
• Guess fuel prices didnt drive up inflation since they are so low now and prices are still up there

Looks like every single narrative of the right wing liars has fallen on its proverbial face.

First, kudos to the House Republicans for the great job they're doing.
Second, are the prices lower because of or in spite of Quid Pro Joe?

Narrative always trumps (see what I did there?) truth.

Some crazy some not. I agree we need more housing. Doctors dont need tax breaks, just an interest bridge until they become rich. Energy isnt a problem except we are at the mercy of OPEC which means we need to diversify.
