More gaslighting
It is very nice for Japan to import a lot of Japonica rice from the US and a lot of meat from Australia and to become an important parts supplier to Germany, right?
Greedflation
If you think we have bad inflation , imagine living in Venezuela where inflation is 10,000,000%. On a fixed income? I can see why you would want to leave. Since that situation affects us, Maybe we should be able to take over the running of that country temporarily. We run the economy for 10 years. We get cheep oil and they get a secure government. Also an end to US sanctions. I think the people of Venezuela would vote for that in a fair election. Not that our system would be best for them. El Salvador may be a better model. at least in the short run.
Just because inflation has stabilized, doesnt mean the prices still aren’t too damn high
I never touch my savings and THIS LAST MONTH I TOUCHED MY SAVING$ by $1,000. Who's wages went up?
Layoffs are everywhere and everything is x2 x3 expensive. You have to spend more and buy less. Of course GPD will raise
and not a single budge, in reality, continuously and increasingly by the multitude in the negative. but at least you have all those high tech weaponry to protect you for all the horrible things youve done
Wages have gone up. Who's wages? So insulting toward hourly wage earners. You ignore them because it makes you feel good about yourself
Gonna be a slow crowl after Halloween
Need to stop worrying about the low and middle-low class. Can’t save the helpless. We are not a communist country. All policy should focus on allowing people to help themselves. It should not help people who can’t help themselves.
You wipe out the economy and my wage increase with your inflation, gas prices, friggin food and interest rates..I got something going in my pocket but more of it is coming out just to live..That's nothing else.!
Is this like the phony jobs report?
Bro no way lol this is a joke
Aren’t you the same people saying that Biden was sharp as ever?
1:39 I’m a journalist 😂. Yeah sure.
Let us know when young couples can afford to buy a home or a family can be supported on one income. Americans are struggling and it's time for a new approach. TRUMP 2024
Before the dnc convention the economy is good
During the convention the economy was bad
After the convention back to good
Thanks to consumer spending which is up because prices are through the roof and the people are putting things on their credit card driving credit card that to an all time high….. This is an incredibly bad sign…
Ask McDonald's….they dont agree
That may be true, but the jobs are paying "starvation wages" and many have to work an extra side job just to make ends meet.
So, are the same people telling us this that overestimated new jobs by an assload?
Just like the job report that missed reporting the loss of over 800,000 jobs
