I just feel like the public has been taught to be financially illiterate so they can become dependent on the system whether right or left and this is the result of that. Plenty of young chuds out there blowing money they don’t have too. Sad to see.
The problem is financial literacy is just emotional regulation after the first 30 minutes of lessons for most people. People have trouble understanding exponential functions and their relation to investing and they can be taught it. But it isn't a lack of education that causes someone to buy a car 5 times more expensive than what they need, eat out for every meal, or go $100k in debt for a career that a single Google search would tell you has no chance of paying it off. Those are all will power and emotional regulation issues and teaching people about finance doesn't fix that.
 
Speaking honestly, if any time a Republican takes power and the Democrats spent their entire time burning the country to the ground just to weaken them wouldn't it be best to just become a Democrat? They reward loyalty, their opposition is largely controlled by them and they're too entrenched to really beat in the first place. I don't exactly fancy being purged when they criminalize ICE, the GOP and then everyone on a Republican voter roll.
 
Then maybe don't sit there any say prices are going down and attack anyone who rightfully points out otherwise. The whole point of voting him was making the economy better and year out and we're actually worse. Overall everything is more expensive and point to 2 cheap things just makes him seem like a senile old man like Biden. $9 eggs in 2023 means nothing today. I know my groceries are up $20 a week since he took office.
It has been less than a year and before Covid Trump had pumped the economy to a good place, He is trying to repair the damage from Covid (which was partially Trump's fault, that Biden never fixed) along with Biden's retarded bullshit.

practically? yes. principally? i find them morally reprehensible and would rather kill myself than participate in the evil they put out into the world.
 
Insane to hear because costs have been going up since the pandemic printout. I saw $9 dollar eggs in 2023! But of course the pollsters know the public has the memory of a goldfish and can thus be manipulated.
The argument is that under Kamala we would have even higher prices. It’s not something that can be proven. Once you open the Pandora’s box of a trillion dollar stimulus, you can’t take that inflation back. You can slow down inflation, but you can’t reverse it unless some major economic shift and pains occur.

That said we’re still getting fed lies about how something will lead to inflation, like the tariff lies. But where has that actually happened?
 
Believe it or not there is no magic wand that can make the cost of everything magically cheaper.

Even if the general public is retarded enough to think there is, it is more retarded of Trump to claim prices are DOWN when they are in fact not. I understand wanting a win on affordability, but gaslighting the American public on prices comes directly from the Biden Administration playbook. It is not a winning play.

I do want to see more of this rhetoric against the meat packing industry, but applied to EVERY sector of this economy. Go after every single corporation that is raking in record profits while scamming the average American. Break them, let out your inner Teddy Roosevelt, Donald.
 
Trump's messaging on grocery prices has been absolutely abysmal. I don't know if it's ego or bad information from staff or what, but just saying, "Prices are going down everywhere!" is the same failed Bidenomics strategy that nobody bought.
He made some good progress last night when he ordered that meat suppliers be investigated for collusion and overregulation, but he really needs to change tactics verbally, because right now, people are getting flashbacks to Biden's "Ten cents cheaper Fourth of July" campaign.
the prices of milk, eggs, flour, pork, chicken, and vegetables have gone down since trump took office. the price of beef, tv dinners, sugar, and fruit have gone up. which do you think are more important anchors for people's concept of price?

makes me wonder how many posters in this thread complaining about the price of groceries going up are also the same people complaining in the food stamp chimpout thread.
 

I've been saying more or less the same thing, not about Pelosi specifically, but the Dems have a talent for circling the wagons and uniting while Republicans attack each other with purity tests and dumb shit. It would be great if the GOP was able to really unify behind somebody in Congress.

while the price of chicken and pork have not changed at all really, over the last six months the price of beef has gone up like 50%. that's trickled down to all of the mystery meat packaging companies making sausage and lunch meat out of blends of meat and that stuff has gone up considerably. Even though it's mostly mechanically separated pork and chicken they still find a way to make that 15% beef most of the price because they've deluded themselves into thinking that they're selling a lifestyle instead of a cheap product. I mean, that's legitimately the only way i can make sense of Oscar Meyer, it's like six dollars for a half pound circle of bologna. The mystery meat hot dogs are the same price as high quality beef franks from other brands.

Food hasn't really gone up but the food stamp slop did considerably
 
Greene is an idiot who got rich off of foreign slave labor but she's objectively correct here. Pelosi and the democrats did and do what their voters want as awful and destructive as it is, meanwhile the GOP actively fights against doing the will of their voters tooth and nail.

it's an inditement of the republicans not a praise to Pelosi.
 
where is she wrong? pelosi ruled her party with an iron fuckign fist for at least 20 years. no one stepped out of line and she whipped up the votes she needed every time. she was also a fundraising juggernaut.
I dunno I don’t conflate the party with the voters I guess is my issue. Pelosi may have united the DNC but I would argue they didn’t do very much good for the Democratic voter.

In fact the state it’s in is because of fossils who refused to retire like her.

We're not going to see things get cheaper until the tail end of the 3rd year of this term. He's doing the same things he did during his first term but on overdrive. I didn't see things get cheaper until the second half of 2018. 2016-2017 weren't king nigger prices but they were definitely cheaper and fluctuated around depending if things were in season or not.

The people who're going to have it rough this term are Californians, Jew Yorkers, Texans, and Florida niggers which is pretty much most of the country at that point.
California niggers and Jew Yorkers because their State governments suck ass and Trump's back so they can use him as a scapegoat again.

Texans and Florida niggers because they're the current target destination for all the fleeing Californian locusts and Jew Yorkers which drives prices up of everything due to demand (millions of shitheads not including any illegal aliens they've received during Biden)
If you're receiving Californians you should be paying attention to your local ranchers and farmers because those niggers like forming mobs to drive them out business because of the smell or for "affordable housing". If they didn't get forced out of business then they most likely got moved somewhere else really far away and prices have to increase because transportation costs.

There is though, it's called lowering taxes and cutting government spending. Every dollar the government doesn't spend on USAID chicanx feminism (and doesn't tax you for), is money in your account for food. It's the real cost (not the dollar cost), but that's what matters for affordability.

Oh geez, if only there wasn't a certain Uniparty desperately trying to protect their ability to be able to spend trillions on illegals and themselves through NGOs
