On July 4th, a little more than a week ago, the White House made the preposterous claim that holiday food was cheaper than last year. Everyone who buys groceries knew that level of propaganda was unmitigated nonsense and the consumer pricing data released today shows exactly that.
According to the BLS, June prices jumped 0.9%. Every month this year the CPI has been rising faster than the prior month, which essentially means inflation is rising at an ever-increasing rate. Annualized inflation (June 2020 -vs- June 2021) now shows an overall inflation rate of 5.4%.
However, at a 0.9% monthly rate -if the level stabilizes- that means the real inflation rate is 10.8% Yeah, that’s a serious problem.
The BLS data (see table 7) shows that gasoline has doubled in price year-over-year. Unleaded regular gasoline is now 46.4% higher than last year. That level of fuel price increase is crushing the working class and blue collar workforce.
Inflation overall is currently rising three to four times faster than wages. That means real wages are dropping as Americans are paying more for everything, including fast turn consumable products like food and fuel. Again, we repeat… durable good sales will suffer as disposable income shrinks. Additionally, rising housing prices combined with diminishing blue collar wages is an unsustainable trend.
JoeBama economic policies are crushing the middle-class. The multinational corporations, Wall Street and the investment class benefit as Biden policies directly create a U.S. service driven economy {Go Deep}. Under JoeBama, the wage and wealth gap is growing again after three years of Trump policies closing it. Working class wages are dropping, and investment class earnings rise. This is the intentionally created outcome when America-First policies are cancelled.
Overall energy prices have jumped more than 32% year-over-year. This is a direct outcome of Biden policy. Used vehicle prices are up a whopping 45% vs 2020.
The financial media are working overtime to protect Joe Biden from the outcome of policy by deflecting blame to COVID-19, but the issues are far more substantive than their weak justifications. All of this was predictable. After several months of claiming the inflation was transitory or temporary, now the same financial media are shifting the narrative to say we need to just accept long term inflation is the new normal.
U.S. consumer prices rose 5.4% in June from a year ago, keeping inflation at the highest annual rate in 13 years as the economic recovery gained steam https://t.co/HbP9VXcWMp

The U.S. could be headed for several years of higher inflation than households and investors have seen since the early 1990s, according to economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal https://t.co/2RIYYPTpsk

I cannot express my frustration adequately as we watch this play out and know how much propaganda is being pushed to justify it. {Go Deep} and {Go Deep}. CTH has outlined for years how these direct economic outcomes are a result of actual government policy.
Everything the Biden administration is doing is making things worse, and now we are seeing big drops in real wages as the inflation rate is far beyond wage growth. Under Biden inflation is massive and wage growth is non-existent. This is an exact reversal of the Trump-era outcome where inflation was low and wage growth rates were high.
You might remember when President Trump initiated tariffs against China (steel, aluminum and more), Southeast Asia (product specific), Europe (steel, aluminum and direct products), Canada (steel, aluminum, lumber and dairy specifics), the financial pundits screamed at the top of their lungs that consumer prices were going to skyrocket. They didn’t. CTH knew they wouldn’t because essentially those trading partners responded in the exact same way the U.S. did decades ago when the import/export dynamic was reversed.
Trump’s massive, and in some instances targeted, import tariffs against China, SE Asia, Canada and the EU not only did not increase prices, the prices of the goods in the U.S. actually dropped. Trump’s policies led the largest deflation in consumer prices in decades. At the same time Trump’s domestic economic policies drove employment and wages higher than any time in the past forty years. With Trump’s policies we were in an era where job growth was strong, wages were rising and consumer prices were falling. The net result was more disposable income for the middle class, more demand for stuff, and ultimately that’s why the U.S. economy was so strong.
♦Going Deep – To retain their position China, the EU responded to U.S. tariffs by devaluing their currency as an offset to higher prices. It started with China because their economy is so dependent on exports to the U.S.
China first started subsidizing the targeted sectors hit by tariffs. However, as the Chinese economy was under pressure they stopped purchasing industrial products from the EU, that slowed the EU economy and made the impact of U.S. tariffs, later targeted in the EU direction, more impactful.
When China (total communist control over their banking system) devalued their currency to avoid Tariff price increase, it had an unusual effect. The cost of all Chinese imports dropped, not just on the tariff goods. Imported stuff from China dropped in price at the same time the U.S. dollar was strong. This meant it took less dollars to import the same amount of Chinese goods; and those goods were at a lower price. As a result ,we were importing deflation…. the exact opposite of what the financial pundits claimed would happen.
In response to a lessening of overall economic activity, the EU then followed the same approach as China. The EU was already facing pressure from the exit of the U.K. from the EU system; so, when the EU central banks started pumping money into their economy and offsetting with subsidies, they essentially devalued the euro. The outcome for U.S. importers was the same as the outcome for U.S-China importers. We began importing deflation from the EU side.
In the middle of this there was a downside for U.S. exporters. With China and the EU devaluing their currency, the value of the dollar increased. This made purchases from the U.S. more expensive. U.S. companies who relied on exports (lots of agricultural industries and raw materials) took a hit from higher export prices. However, and this part is really interesting, it only made those companies more dependent on domestic sales for income. With less being exported there was more product available in the U.S for domestic purchase…. this dynamic led to another predictable outcome, even lower prices for U.S. consumers.
From 2017 through early 2020, U.S. consumer prices were dropping. We were in a rare place where deflation was happening. Combine lower prices with higher wages and you can easily see the strength within the U.S. economy. For the rest of the world this seemed unfair, and indeed they cried foul – especially Canada.
However, this was America First in action. Middle-class Americans were benefiting from a Trump reversal of 40 years of economic policies like those that created the rust belt.
Industries were investing in the U.S. and that provided leverage for Trump’s trade policies to have stronger influence. If you wanted access to this expanding market, those foreign companies needed to put their investment money into the U.S. and create even more U.S. jobs. This was an expanding economic spiral where Trump was creating more and more economic pies. Every sector of the U.S. economy was benefiting more, but the blue-collar working class was gaining the most benefit of all.
♦ REVERSE THIS… and you now understand where we are with inflation. The Joebama economic policies are exactly the reverse. The monetary policy that pumps money into into the U.S. economy via COVID bailouts and federal spending drops the value of the dollar and makes the dependency state worse.
With the FED pumping money into the U.S. system the dollar value plummets. At the same time, JoeBama dropped tariff enforcement to please the Wall Street multinational corporations and banks that funded his campaign. Now, the value of the Chinese and EU currency increases. This means it costs more to import products and that is the primary driver of price increases in consumer goods.
Simultaneously a lower dollar means cheaper exports for the multinationals (Big AG and raw materials). China, SE Asia and even the EU purchase U.S. raw materials at a lower price. That means less raw material in the U.S. which drives up prices for U.S. consumers. It is a perfect storm. Higher costs for imported goods and higher costs for domestic goods (food). Combine this dynamic with massive increases in energy costs from ideological policy and that’s fuel on a fire of inflation.
Annualized inflation is now estimated to be around 8 percent, and it will likely keep increasing. This is terrible for wage earners in the U.S. who are now seeing no wage growth and higher prices. Real wages are decreasing by the fastest rate in decades. We are now in a downward spiral where your paycheck buys less. As a result, consumer middle-class spending contracts. Eventually this means housing prices drop because people cannot afford higher mortgage payments.
Gasoline costs more (+50%), food costs more (+10% at a minimum) and as a result real wages drop; disposable income is lost. Ultimately this is the cause of Stagflation. A stagnant economy and inflation. None of this is caused by COVID-19. All of this is caused by economic policy and monetary policy sold under the guise of COVID-19.
This inflationary period will not stall out until the U.S. economy can recover from the massive amount of federal spending. If the spending continues, the dollar continues to be weak, and as a result the inflationary period continues. It is a spiral that can only be stopped if the policies are reversed…. and the only way to stop these insane policies is to get rid of the Wall Street Democrats and Republicans who are constructing them.
We’ve got to make this Moron stop printing money. There is no free lunch (it amazes me how many millions and millions of these Morons think there is).
You older people have you noticed that acute Inflation always comes along with democrats (and George W. Bush); which means we get poor (lower quality of life) on their Moronic (doused in corruption) policies. Then we get use to it, and they do it again.
They think they’re clever because when they Inflate the economy they effectively reduce the debt of their precious (idol) government. We have a great example right now. Everyone knows the government’s roughly 100trillion in debt. When things become 3X more expensive (like what just happened); Presto, the government’s original 100trillion debt is now worth only 33trillion real current dollars (see how they lessened their real debt). You just financed that. This is why the Fed supporting Inflation is such a sinister policy (it smashes the lower and middle classes with wealth redistribution; the upper classes not so much because they’re closer to the printing press – they get a benefit that offsets the Inflation, remember that the next time the imposter Biden claims to be a champion of the lower and middle classes).
But like always the greedy selfish Morons are just fixated on a snapshot and not a dynamic chain of events. There’s no escaping the laws of economics. They’ll be paying for it later in spades when they lose control of Interest Rates, have to absorb the impact on government expenditures, dislocate the economy, and a gazillion other ways that force equilibrium. There’s no way around it; if you’re going to piss money away, that’s just what you did. We all know we’re really dealing with people that have mental (spiritual) problems, democrats have to piss money away; I’m sure you see that in your own families, the democrat’s always the problem.
A lady just told me where I live a sheet of 3/4″ plywood costs $145, that’s a problem. For someone to do that in just a few months; that’s why us older people (if they have a brain) are so jittery, we’ve never seen that before.
We’re cascading to a Monetary Crisis because the Morons riding along in the cart keep telling the rest of us how to pull it. That’s got to stop.
“Make”?
How?
Got a plan for stopping him?
I know, that’s just my speech pattern.
…my remodeling of house went up $15,000……
Yep,
Sadly savvy folks anticipated much of this back in Nov of 2020.
Many folks we know are “dialling things back”
Those of us that have seen this movie before have prepared as best as possible.
We have sons around thirty, they have only known near zero interest rates in their working lives.
We’ll see, but farmers here in British Columbia have had their berry crops seriously damaged by extremely hot weather.
Corn too has been stalled.
Fuel costs are up nearly 40%.
What will give?
Cheers to all.
This economic disaster seems to be just one leg of the 3 legged stool. The others being social discord and NO judicial control over monopolies driving it all. Understand the Marxist have to destroy America for the globalist to gain control
My cousin was gonna build a house, got the loan for building right before Biden stole the WH and caused crazy inflation in everything. The cost of his house went up almost 200% and his contractors never showed up. What a shitshow, but that’s just a little sliver of this crap. Biden is a F’ing Traitor…. he is causing everything to go through the roof.
The world is hopelessly tied up in this whole monetary scheme these days.
“The money must flow…”
Where we stop nobody knows. Only that an unbacked fiat currency will implode in time given no constraints on printing more.
DC Uni Party is more than happy to accommodate Potato and his masters. Only a once in a lifetime event would stop these monsters.
Another indicator of how many people buy into the “free lunch”idiocy … how many companies hawking merchandise on TV advertise “Free Shipping”! “Free” like, how? Are there eccentric millionaires driving their own limos delivering your crap? I install floors and I routinely explain how Blowes and Home Despot can advertise a whole house of carpet installed for $79. What did PT Barnum say?
Just one example of how idiotic ebay takes its sellers to be: A few years back they started a campaign for all sellers to offer “free” shipping for all items. This was going to skyrocket sales! My items cost an average of $50 each to ship but ebay didn’t care, I need to offer it “free.” Morons.
Ebay shoppers want .99 cent items with FREE shipping. It’s not worth the time it takes to list!
Hubby sells on a well known platform. The other day he had a customer who was absolutely, positively sure that “XXXXX paid for the shipping.” Now this guy went online put an item in his basket, went to check out where the preview clearly showed the shipping charge of $90, entered his credit card, hit purchase and STILL he insisted that the company paid the shipping.
Then there is the “buy one get one free” scam:
Me: If I don’t buy one do I get one?
Clerk: No ma’am. It’s buy one get one FREE
Me: How is it free If I only get it after I buy one?
Clerk: Its free if you buy one
Me: Don’t you mean buy two for the price of one that you doubled the price on before you offered me the “free” deal?
Clerk: Scratches head. Looks at me as though I have twelve heads and smiles. Confident in the knowledge that I am too “dumb” to take advantage of a “free” deal
My favorite is when the item is advertised as free, you just pay S&H,
if you have to pay shipping and handling then the item isn;t FREE
Shush!! Don’t tell the stupids.
Ha! You can’t even elect them out unless you tighten up the integrity of elections.
They won’t be happy until the life savings and wealth of the middle class is eliminated or rendered worthless, only the wealth of the elites and their income potential will survive the attack. A lot of that wealth is offshore after all.
They want us all to be wards of the state…. on Foodstamps and living in cramped up apartments that are paid for via section 8 handouts. What is sick, is most of these liberal democrat pols would be in insane asylums if they were still open. They are bat shit Crazy…. and trying to bring America to its knees.
For a bunch of nuts they seem to be doing a splendid job!
It’s easy to wreck stuff. And only a nut would want to do that.

Shouldn’t it be 0.9% monthly?
The way I see it, these policies are partly to make up for the relative lack of graft from looting the economy from 2016 to 2020.
The rest is straight up revenge just because they can.
Whoa!! You mean I didn’t save 16 cents on my BBQ? 🙂
The savings were on the plant based hot dogs that also stop climate change and hurricanes….you must have chosen the meat hot dog version. Jen will circle back to you to confirm.
The savings was on comparative hot dog and pork chop pricing which was impacted by covid issues with meat packing plants. Omit that and prices went up.
Just having fun, since the dRATS want to get rid of meat. The whole argument by Raggedy Ann is mindless anyway…she and this whole administration is an national joke.
johnnyfandango: The higher price of kosher, plant-based hot dogs must have skewed the results.
?
Grade A comment.
No but you saved a lot at the pump if you stayed home and grilled those hotdogs.
Nah! I grilled the hot dogs with gasoline. Had to go without the buns.
LOL! JD, how many franks/mile do you get on your V-8 BBQ? 🙂
ROFL….
Hmmm. So that “smoky” flavor isn’t hickory or charcoal…..but more like Shell Regular…..
Yum?
No but you did save 16 cents on a hot dog.
not if you used gas to cook it.
You know!!! I was so proud of my 16 cents savings! I was going to use it for a brand new Lego set. I’m thinking the FBI should look into this. The twatter machine should ban the WH. They tried to radicalize me.
Probably not.
Speaking of BBQ, how much has a 20 lb. tank of propane gone up since last year?
Don’t know but we just paid 5.15 gal for propane delivered to tank, pricey but that is every 2 years.
The Zimbabwe economic strategy. No surprise that Susan Rice was a big admirer of Zimbabwe, and wrote her dissertation on Robert Mugabe.
..but..but even RHODESIA/ZIMBABWE ..chanbed their socialist ways…they got gold backed currency..what have a joebama..
We would have had the inflation anyway due to energy prices increasing when the economy came back on stream. Energy embeds itself into everything and says hello when it lands on the store shelf.
Shutting down leases and shuttering XL did NOT help at all with softening the energy blow. Bribe-em is a disaster.
I thought it was common core economics…
Only an idiot believed Joebamas lies about July 4 price reductions. The same idiots that voted for him & the same idiots that think the 2020 election was fair….
That would be the media, Hollywood, all our highly credentialed betters.
aka, everyone that should be hit in the face with flamethrowers.
USA voted for Trumponomics, which was working VERY well.
If O’Bidet had been installed by CCP to orchestrate USA’s collapse,

The CCP is pleased with him, and probably treasures Hunter’s nose art
as a sort of treasure, and our transgender-friendly military as great entertainment.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WON. Let’s prove it. Surely the audits will at least slow down

Pain for the Peasants…As planned…..
I’m not sure they’re capable of following a plan, but they don’t need one to ruin everything they touch.
Some of us oldsters knew this was coming and do remember the 70’s with 1 job, Mom and the babies home with 1 vehicle,1 TV with 2 stations, while Dad was working out of town 5 days a week and studying for another degree in between.
Yes, we saw it coming as we shopped and drove to the local grocery store every few weeks, (now that we are retired).
Our post-retirement part-time work, flushed down the drain, right along with our right to fair elections.
We watch the prices go higher and higher; cut back every where we can.
Under this Fascist Regime, our Golden years are getting very grim.
Yet, we are still hanging in there and pray everyday to make the most of what God has given us.
And we continue to support PDJ Trump as he exposes those fraudsters in power and this Fascist Regime for what it really is.
This will not last!
As soon as I graduated high school I got a job and helped support my parents. I paid rent/food.
I keep telling my kids the 70s have returned. I remember.
?
Same..
Amen!
America has been reduced to the hobby farm for the globalist super-rich. They don’t want oil wells or pipelines disturbing the vista. Even their beloved windmills must be built in poor areas. High gas prices force people in pickups off the road, leaving more space for the limousine liberals.
The Democrat Party is now the toy, the plaything of the Corporatist ultra-rich. While these amoral people count on the welfare state to blunt most opposition, poor people still have to visit the grocery store, and therefore poor people are far more aware of rising food prices than rich people.
The frivolous pipeline workers who voted Democrat are now enjoying(?) the free stuff that made them vote Democrat. Too late they are learning that the free stuff comes mostly after your well-paid job goes.
The media brazenly called the mass layoffs of the Obama regime “funemployment”.
Get ready for funinflation.
The people who are not affected by this are the ones who helped bring it. They helped destroy the USA and Constitution.
They lie about voting numbers.
They lie about COVID numbers.
They lie about inflation numbers.
They lie about spending numbers.
They lie about vaccine numbers.
They lie about poll numbers.
And they lie about their bribery numbers most of all.
I miss the High-Trust society we grew up in. This is Low-Trust America, if not No-Trust At All.
Thanks, 4-term Shadow Prez.
The Gipper Lives: High trust disappeared with “diversity.”
On the gas prices I would suggest being careful making the point. A big reason for the doubling is that the lockdown had caused them to crater. A lib will call you out on that. The point to make IMO is that gas prices are now over 10% higher than they were *before* the pandemic. That take the lockdown effect out of the equation.
ltravisr: Fuel prices were consistently and significantly lower for years under President Trump.
Wut? You mean I did not save sixteen cents? O bummer!!! Now I can’t buy all the groovy stuff. I was planning on splurging….
The liberals I know, all well off financially, all shrug their shoulders when I bring up the effect of rising gasoline prices.
They agree, but couldn’t give a damn. It’s good for the environment.
When I bring up the effect on their gardeners and pool service, the group I refer to are downtown Sacramento folks, the conversation comes to a halt. I just spent a long weekend at a large wedding with many such brain dead sheep.
On the other hand, with the more rational among them, we had some lively, lengthy, and funny debates.
The open bar, and my staying sober, gave me the upper hand among this group, all evening.
Quite fun.
Anyone with eyes knew well that prices are rising very quickly. Further, anyone with an ounce of common sense knew well that the WH is full of sh*t. Tell me, without the maggot motherf’ing media to carry water for these illegitimate tyrants, would the kids handling the potato even bother releasing that 16cent statement? These people must really believe that we are f’ng stupid…..
It is merely their way of entertainment messing with the folk, dontchaknow.
That one sentence sums it all up:
But for the grifters, Joe and Hunter, they don’t care … they’re getting their pockets lined on a regular basis and aren’t touched by such mundane concerns as prices … not while they’re living large off the taxpayers’ dimes. Meanwhile, Oblivious Joe has a staff of statists working hard at maintaining power in the Capital District … when Pelosi sends out her Storm Troopers, aka the Capital Police, will they be called Peace Keepers?
Can you believe the Country’s come to this . .
Related factoid:
Federal base pay increases have been lagging inflation for 10 of the past 11 years, federal base pay now stands at about 10% below the 2010 level adjusted for inflation.
Federal base pay will no doubt fall even further behind inflation now.
That may make you feel a little better, if you hold federal employees in contempt.
However, for the portion of the federal workforce not receiving promotions because they are not ethically compromised sycophants, these year-on-year reductions in real base pay have a significant impact on their economic position and thus their ability to perform their job. This means that another consequence of the puppet regime will be increased federal dysfunction indirectly caused by deteriorating economic position of federal employees whose real pay will decline even more rapidly now due to increased inflation.
PS – this increasing government dysfunction will be exacerbated by the hostile divisive identity class Marxism poisoning the government under the puppet regime now. Probably an exponential negative synergy, not a merely additive one.
Have a nice day.
“That may make you feel a little better, if you hold federal employees in contempt.”
I do, and it does, but not enough.
Not sure how accurate but I read that under bozo beijing joebama gas prices would rise to 80 cents by July 2021 but with an eventual increase representative of California of up to $6 per gallon at least –
At that price I can’t afford to drive to work on my measly salary. And I drive a ULEV II.
Small point but goes to credibility; A 50% increase in gas cost IS NOT double.
Check again. The way it is calculated it is. Read the CPI stats.
Current price – former price = X.
X divided by current price as a percent.
If you have 2 brain cells, or should I say, because inflation devalues, if you have 1-3/4 brain cells to rub together and you exist in the real world, you don’t need a degree in economics to know that we are in the beginning stages of a high inflation cycle with no telling just how high it will go.
Buy in bulk now for your wages wont keep up with the cost of living.
If the Fed continues to print money it needs to be printed on elastic material so folks can stretch their dollars.
Will the inevitable fall lock-downs from the Delta funk save us from hyper-inflation and pull Josef Biden’s political tootsies out of the fire?
“inevitable fall lock-downs”?
This family didn’t participate in the 1st charade; I’ll be damned if we participate in another!
From what I am witnessing and hearing; many are on the same page with stolen election, fraudulent elected leaders, Fascism on the rise and fake flus; once was more than enough.

Would that be Gasolining? Or a Commieflagration?
Watched a report on the chaos descending on South Africa as a result of government corruption and lawlessness. If enough people begin to see that their government doesn’t abide by their own laws, the average citizen will begin to ignore the law as well. It would be hard to convince a resident of Seattle or Portland that this isn’t already a reality. Many of the policies being enacted now seem to be designed to destroy the country, with inflation being but one piece.
Depressing must plain depressing. What to do, what to do?

JoeBamas economic policies used to be considered political suicide. That was back in the day when your votes mattered. These reckless policies mean they must have control of the ballot boxes.
Need to correct “.09%” to “0.9%” near the front of the post.
Thanks Frank!
Ahhh..all this worrying. We’re saving the planet. If prices get too high the gubmint will send another check. Of course, with more covid variants there will be more covid relief.
Dang! I went and splurged with the 00.16 I thought I saved from last year.
Didn’t we pass the point of no return on spending quite some time ago?
“This inflationary period will not stall out until the U.S. economy can recover from the massive amount of federal spending.”
Unfortunately, as if that weren’t bad enough considering that it is highly unlikely that federal deficit spending will stop since it never does and would crash the economy if it did, there are MANY other major factors involved that are not directly related to federal spending, just related to the abject stupidity of shutting the world down for a year. This guy is definitely not one of the broken record, perpetual “sky is falling” economic bloggers:

Just returned home in CA from a 7,000 mile road trip across and around the U.S. Fuel prices in CA are up to double everywhere else. TX was among the cheapest. CA fuel is even more expensive than fuel in remote mountain, resort, farming and ranching communities.

The Red Chinese are the most brilliant tacticians in modern history. They have managed to infiltrate spies into every level of federal and in many cases state government, the U.S. Military and its academies. They have bought off politicians, the Uniparty, movie actors,universities,public schools, corporations,election systems. They have infiltrated anarchist groups like BLM and PAntifa.They have infiltrated Wall Street and K Street.Their greatest coup was to install Chinas Whore Joe into the Oval Office and the icing on the cake was to defeat the only President that ever threatened them. They are far from finished. Up next, the land invasion of North America.
thanks sundance for an in depth and, in particular, your focus on what benefits the middle class, of all races, religions and ethnicities , is most helpful
Joe Biden sounds like a scared little Pu$$y…. and he should be, stolen elections are punishable as Treason would be. The worst kind of people are Communist scum trying to stir up race wars. In the end, when Biden and Company are charged with Treason….. I hope our African American friends can help free him from his Lies.
The White House is lying???? Say it ain’t so, Joe! (sarcasm)
SD–“I cannot express my frustration adequately as we watch this play out and know how much propaganda is being pushed to justify it.”
IMO, you do a far better and more detailed job than anyone else at exposing the turpitudinous Democrats and their lies, their deceptions and their overall push toward societal destructiveness.
This inflationary trend obviously started before the unprecedented and damaging Green New Deal monstrosity or farce has been passed and implemented with Dem and RINO support. The Chi Coms will likely apply maximum pressure on their bought Congressional and Senate politicians to pass this sham because if it’s implemented, it will likely cause enormous economic upheaval in the USA and inflict severe and unaffordable costs on the middle class. The Green “prep work” has begun with closed U.S. pipelines and so on but the worst is yet to come if they succeed.
The deluded destructive Marxists will be pleased as they mistakenly believe a Communist State utopia would quickly rise from the capitalist remnants.
In the JoeBama economic policies paragraph the “go deep” link is not linked properly

But I guess higher prices are of no concern to double counted paper ballots.
Excellent explanation SD. I want to state again that US MAGA are NOT to blame. We voted for Trump the real winner of the election. That’s who the people wanted. They wanted MAGA policies. This fraud regime was given to us because the election was stolen from us. Remember that. Do not blame yourselves for this. The election was stolen. We are suffering from policies the majority of the American people do NOT want.
The Democrats are the party of destruction.. EVERYTHING they touch gets go to crap and gets destroyed.
Hammer these common sense questions every day.
Spread them far and wide.
PT needs to keep asking these honest questions ar EVERY rally he does.
1) How does giving up US energy independence benefit Americans?
2) And by doing so how does asking Americans to pay 80% more for gas and energy benefit Americans?
3) How does ignoring illegals and the crime, drugs and trafficking that comes with it benefit Americans?
4) How does outsourcing American manufacturing and jobs overseas benefit Americans?
5) How does CRT which promotes and teaches people to hate people benefit America and not be a racists message?
6) How does raising taxes benefit Americans?
7) How does allowing inflation to accelerate to 4-9% benefit Americans?
8) How does continuing endless wars, especially since ISIS has been defeated, benefit Americans?
9) How does shutting down and controlling free speech benefit Americans?
10) How does taking Citizen’s guns benefit Americans?
11) How does denying honest and fully transparent election audits benefit Americans?
12) How does having unlimited mail in ballots, no voter ID and machines connected to the internet make elections more secure?
13) How does having a very bias media and big tech where all messages are control benefit Americans?
14) How does forcing an experimental jab on our children when 99.95% of the young people recover, benefit American children?
15) How does having a FIB and DOJ that clearly demonstrates a two tier system of justice benefit Americans?
16) How does ignoring the rule of law and defunding police departments benefit Americans?
17) How is it that BLM can burn buildings, destroy businesses, beat people and nothing happens to them while protestors who enter the capital with no weapons, don’t burn anything, get locked up for months? How is this equal justice?
18) How does eliminating tariffs on countries where there is a huge trade imbalance thus forcing America and Americans to pay billions to these countries benefit Americans?
The bottom line is NONE of the Biden policies make sense and NONE of them benefit Americans.
Americans need to see what the democrat party really is and that is a pure Socialist Party that brings NO BENEFIT to Americans of a Capitalist and Constitutional Republic.
Has there ever been a Socialist Country where their people prospered?
IMO PT needs to ask these questions to all Americans and what will become very obvious from these common sense questions is Biden, Obama and all their cronies are on the same level as Stalin, Lenin, Mao Zedong and Castro.
So ask yourself, how did the PEOPLE of these socialist country leaders benefit?
Answer – They didn’t.
Walk up America before your country and freedoms are gone!
I texted a liberal acquaintance on the day Trump left office that the gas price at my station in Burbank, CA was $3.25/gallon. Told her to write that down. Today it was at $4.49/gallon.
Excellent analysis, Sundance. The only thing I take exception to is this:
“Eventually this means housing prices drop because people cannot afford higher mortgage payments.”
With the investment class dumping cash into housing stock, snapping up homes for over the asking price and turning them into rentals, prices and mortgage payments will stay high and force more people into long term renters. Sad.
The difference between Trump’s economy and JoeBama’s economy is like daylight and dark. Some people must prefer to live in the dark, but the left’s leaders are doing this on purpose. They want the economy to collapse to aid their evil reset and transition to communism and one-world government.
Wage earners are taking a big hit. Those on fixed incomes are being wiped out, especially savings accts. Nowhere is anyone even mentioning raising these stupid interest rates to slow down housing and vehicles. Will there be anything left by 2022?
Interest rates should be 5% -6% now, if you base your life on interest for borrowing, you should re-evaluate your values.
Can anyone confirm this pattern?
1) Every month Jobama reports measures, they “revise/correct” the prior month to be even worse than first reported?
2) Under Trump, Every month’s report “revised” the prior month to be even BETTER than first reported?
