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...
Not in the slightest.
The unemployment rate is very low.
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...
An unemployment rate of 3.7% is very low by historical standards.
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.
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...
The inflation rate:
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.
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.
Ahhh ha! I think we have found what the true driver of your bizarre economic viewpoint is... the political party of those in charge.
Interest rate up again... they did that for a reason...
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.
Ahh so your ridiculous attempt to spin a 3.1% inflation rate has gone nowhere, so now your evidence is interest rates?
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....
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.
