Inflation down AGAIN

[Crepitus]

In what alternative universe? Gas is nowhere near below $2/gallon, asswipe

The only reason gas went below $2 a gallon was the pandemic, butt-munch.

You mean the Chink Flu? Face it. You hate Conservatives so much that you and your utterly evil and disgusting leaders are actively trying to install a permanent far Left one party state. Amirite? Of course I am right.

Ah, you're an idiot.

Didn't mean to rattle your cage.

Say away, I don't wanna catch the stupid.

Prove it. As a Communist, you support squashing all opposition to.your diseased agenda

 

[Thinker101]

This sort of ignorance of American governance is typical among the right.

Kameltoe is planning to shut down select businesses and you're suggesting the right is ignorant?

Your batshittery is self evident. We can READ your posts

Nope. 2.4%. Down from 2.5%

Yes you idiot. Inflation is up again.

 

[ninja007]

literally every factor regarding food clothing gas shelter utilities housing etc has skyrocketed in both usa and canada and all white countries- mass imiigration, globalism, the nwo, the great reset, 15 min cities, universal basic income. chinas already there.

No it doesn’t dummy. Just because inflation was high in 2022 doesn’t mean it’s bad today at 2.4%.

The rate from last month to this month might not be horrible compared to some other times during the xiden/harris regime, but the fact remains, since harris was sworn in it’s climbed over 20 percent

Wait . What authority was she given?

Can you not read my post?

You don't want an answer to the question, you just want to argue about a subject you don't even really understand.

“The bill will set rules of the road to make clear that big corporations can’t unfairly exploit consumers during times of crisis to run up excessive corporate profits on food and groceries,” the Harris-Walz campaign wrote in the policy pitch, released about six weeks before Election Day.

Higher prices — and who or what is to blame for them — have become a central theme in the presidential race, as steep grocery bills frustrate Americans and retailers anticipate a holiday season marked by deal-hunting. Harris and Trump have each proposed their own solutions to combat inflation, as Americans continue to pay more for groceries, energy, housing and other everyday expenses.

In the last year, prices for food at home have risen just 1%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But groceries are still 25% more expensive than they were in August 2019, before supply chain snarls and inflation sent prices soaring.

Voters will ultimately weigh in on what role government leaders should play in companies’ pricing. Generally, Republicans support fewer economic regulations, although Trump has suggested limiting food imports as a way to lower grocery prices. Economists have warned that the strategy would likely backfire.

Halting price hikes is a popular idea with voters. Sixty percent of adult U.S. citizens support capping increases on food and grocery prices, according to a poll by The Economist/YouGov conducted from Aug. 25-27.

Dumbass post-Covid inflation was a global phenomenon and had very little to do with someone getting sworn in.

Inflation today is the same it was in Feb2021.

Are you saying it is just fine with you to pay obscenely inflated prices for goods and services in order for the corporations that provide them to you to make record profits?
If so then you don't really mind inflation so you have nothing to complain about. The current economy is "just fine" with you.

What is guaranteed to happen is less production of goods because there is no profit. Ergo, Soviet style bread lines. Is that what you vermin really want?

One thing you can count on with democrats is once they double something with bad policy if it comes back down at all they claim victory. Gas is a perfect example. They take $2 a gallon gas and cause it to go up to $4 then if it drops to $3.50 they cheer and say how great they’re doing.

No, inflation is horrible. Inflation is caused by the govt. Not the private sector.

I have no problem with businesses making a profit. I do have a problem with price gouging, it’s a crime.

So you are saying harris policy is to put a cap on profits?? What’s the cap gonna be?

U.S. Inflation Reaches Lowest Point Since February 2021

Cooling inflation, solid hiring and healthy growth could erode former President Donald Trump’s perceived advantage on the economy as measured by public opinion polls.

www.huffpost.com

Inflation dropped again
Gas prices are down
250,000 jobs created (180K is considered good)
GDP growth over 3%
Unemployment down again

The economy is doing well!

Cumulative inflation is still 20% since Biden/Harris took office.



Trump 2024

How exactly does the government cause inflation? Be specific.
Or is it only the govt.'s fault when there is a Dem in office?

I have no problem with businesses making a profit. I do have a problem with price gouging, it’s a crime.

What do you consider to be price gouging?

So you are saying harris policy is to put a cap on profits?? What’s the cap gonna be?

That will probably depend upon a number of factors and have to be determined on a case by case basis.
For instance "is it essential for survival" like energy, water, food.

You are crazier than a loon if that's what you believe.

You ignorance on economic matters is astounding. Grocery stores are not going to produce less food than they're currently selling.

Nobody says that these companies won't be allowed to make a reasonable profit, but grocery store net profit margins increased 40%, over and above increased transportation and production costs, That's using other prices increases to increase your own profits.

So many consumer companies did this that inflation was affected - grocery stores, oil companies, retailers, corporate landlords, and utilties. People providing basic goods or services to consumers.
