The vast majority of Americans say surging grocery and household goods prices are causing them financial hardship and nearly 80 percent blame the Biden administration’s economic policies, a new poll says.

About 70 percent of Americans say the national economy is in bad shape, and the majority — 86 percent — are concerned about inflation, according to the Fox News poll released Wednesday.

Of those polled, 86 percent blame the COVID-19 pandemic for increasing prices and 79 percent blame the Biden administration’s economic policies.


The surging costs of groceries and gas are causing financial hardship for 70 percent of people with incomes of less than $50,000, the polls says.

There is nothing Progressive about inflation. It will destroy both the rich and poor. But the Democrat party is and always has been about spending. In fact, with the trillions already spent it is not enough for them, they want trillions more.

It comes as inflation continued to surge in July with the Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index jumping 5.4 percent compared to last year.
Consumer prices, which measures a basket of goods and services as well as energy and food costs, rose 0.5 percent from the month prior, the Labor Department said.

Food prices were up 0.7 percent in July from the prior month and 3.4 percent from a year ago, according to the data.

We all remember the pledge by Biden not to raise taxes on those making less than $400,000. It was an attempt to make people believe that only the wealthy will suffer economically. In short, it was a lie.

But democrats already know all of this. They are liars and they will continue to spew their lies going into the next election cycle. When will people wake up?




 
The forces that led to this inflation were in place and active before Biden took office.

But the zombies? They don't know that, because they're not told that in their world.

This is the legacy that Limbaugh left behind: A true, literal, alternate universe.
LOL.

Biden has already spent $8 trillion


What forces put a gun to his head to do this?

He has? The money is spent, it's in the economy, and it's causing inflation?

Where, exactly? Where is that money? How was it spent? What is the actual mechanism that is causing inflation?

Its predictable after any pandemic or period of depressed economic activity..... This is the fallout from the trade war; in part. You have fewer items to consume and you have consumers with money to spend. Economics 101.
 
I hadn't noticed a lot of inflation. If prices are rising that much it's not on anything I buy aside from lumber. I know that's because of a building boom and my clients absorb that cost.

Printing money out of thin air idiot.

No one put a gun to the heads of democrats to spend like this.

But they are not done. Just ask Bernie.

How can people be so brain dead?

It's just starting to rev up. But the price of gas alone has already negated any "free" money Inflation Joe has already given them.
 
On no topic is the arrogant ignorance that is Trumpism more on display than the economy & markets.
You can take Trump and shove him up your rump.

The GOP can go with him, that is, those who have gone along with these spending sprees.

Come on, Einstein, answer the questions:

We both know you can't.

Let's go.

A List of All the Insane Things in Biden's "Infrastructure" Bill​


By Kenny WebsterApr 1, 2021

President Grandpa's insane new "infrastructure" bill is chock full of insane spending ideas.
Spoiler alert: less than 25% of this bill actually goes to rebuilding infrastructure.

Policy analyst Brad Polumbo highlighted some of the examples at FEE.org.
1. $10 Billion to Create a ‘Civilian Climate Corp’
The Biden administration proposes spending $10 billion to create a “Civilian Climate Corp.” The White House claims that “This $10 billion investment will put a new, diverse generation of Americans to work conserving our public lands and waters, bolstering community resilience, and advancing environmental justice through a new Civilian Climate Corps.”
2. $20 Billion to ‘Advance Racial Equity and Environmental Justice’
The proposal sets aside a whopping $20 billion—more than the latest COVID package spent on vaccines—for “a new program that will reconnect neighborhoods cut off by historic investments and ensure new projects increase opportunity, advance racial equity and environmental justice, and promote affordable access.”

3. $175 Billion in Subsidies for Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles: A technological novelty so good it won’t catch on without hundreds of billions in subsidies. At least, that’s apparently what the Biden administration thinks, as its infrastructure proposal earmarks a “$174 billion investment to win the electric vehicle market.”
The spending will take the form of manufacturing subsidies and consumer tax credits, which historically have benefitted wealthy families most. For comparison, the proposal carves out more for green energy goodies than it does on the total $115 billion to “modernize the bridges, highways, roads, and main streets that are in most critical need of repair.”
4. $213 Billion to Build/Retrofit 2 Million Houses & Buildings
When most people hear “infrastructure,” they think of roads, bridges, tunnels, and so on. But the Biden administration’s definition of the term is Olympian-gymnastics-level flexible. Apparently, the president considers it “infrastructure spending” to allocate $213 billion to build or retrofit 2 million “sustainable” houses and buildings. They also slip in $40 billion for public housing, stating this will “disproportionately benefit women, people of color, and people with disabilities.”

5. $100 Billion for New Public Schools and Making School Lunches ‘Greener’
You might remember that the last “COVID” legislation had $128.5 billion in taxpayer dole-outs for public schools; much of the money will be spent years after the pandemic and there was no requirement that schools actually open. Yet this was, evidently, just the beginning. The Biden “infrastructure” plan includes another “$100 billion to upgrade and build new public schools.”
“Funds also will be provided to improve our school kitchens, so they can be used to better prepare nutritious meals for our students and go green by reducing or eliminating the use of paper plates and other disposable materials,” the proposal reads. (Emphasis mine).
6. $12 Billion for Community Colleges
One generally thinks of infrastructure and higher education as separate, distinct sectors. Yet the Biden “infrastructure” plan slips in $12 billion for states to spend on community colleges.

7. Billions to Eliminate ‘Racial and Gender Inequities’ in STEM
The proposal includes several billion dollars allocated to reduce supposed “racial and gender inequities” in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) research and development.
What this has to do with interstate infrastructure is not adequately explained.
8. $100 Billion to Expand Broadband Internet (And Government Control of It)
Loosely lumped under the broad term “digital infrastructure,” the plan allocates $100 billion to “bring affordable, reliable, high-speed broadband to every American.” Interestingly, the proposal openly states that it wishes to promote government and NGO control of broadband and push out private sector providers: It “prioritizes support for broadband networks owned, operated by, or affiliated with local governments, non-profits, and co-operatives—providers with less pressure to turn profits.”

9. $25 Billion for Government Childcare Programs
The plan includes $25 billion “to help upgrade child care facilities and increase the supply of child care in areas that need it most.” According to the White House, “funding would be provided through a Child Care Growth and Innovation Fund for states to build a supply of infant and toddler care in high-need areas.”

The price of gas is tied to economic growth. The president can't do shit about it. If gas prices are spiking it's because Wall Street is optimistic. Complain about that.

You think that a wall of words and links will answer my questions?

Are you saying that money has been spent and is causing inflation?

Is that what you are saying? Yes or no, Einstein.

Printing large amounts of money out of thin air is what triggers inflation, or did you not go to school?

The price of gas has surged some 40% under Biden


Crude oil prices rose to their highest level in six years on Tuesday. Brent crude is up 45 percent since the beginning of the year, with WTI crude up 50 percent. Worse, the American Automobile Association has now predicted gas prices will surge until at least August, by 10 or 20 cents more per gallon.

The White House has continually prioritized green energy, to the detriment of the oil and natural gas industry, notably canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline and prioritizing the climate change agenda in infrastructure. Biden halted fracking and oil leases on federal lands upon assuming office.

Democrats are focusing all their attention to electric cars. They don't want us to have cheap fuel.

Nope Biden was handed a recovering economy and prices were steady. He and the democrats screwed it up.
