To put things into perspective

[Destroyer]

In case some people don't understand exactly what is happening to their purchasing power, due to inflation, here is a short list of how it's effecting everyone's wallet. Almost ALL of these increases in prices can trace some or all of their price increases to the cost of energy to either process or transport the goods to market. To be fair, there are other factors also, such as the labor shortage driving up wages, but none of those costs are as great as the cost of energy. Each of these percentages reflect the increase in costs from one year ago to today. Thank you President Brandon.

Eggs 11.6%

Seafood 11%

Bacon 20%

Steak 24.2%

Ham 7.6%

Ribs 16.9%

Chicken 8.8%

Milk 5.8%

Fuel Oil 59.1%

Gasoline 49.6%

Used Cars 26.4%

Car Rentals 39.1%

Hotels 25.5%

TV's 10.4%

Furniture 13.1%

Suits 9.3%

All of those items and their percentages were copied from my TV from FOX news on the Cavuto Report at 10 o'clock this morning if anyone wants to view them in person.

One final note. The new "Infrastructure" bill that just passed is so loaded with pork that several analysts are saying it won't cost the 1,75-1.85 Trillions dollars. They project that it will probably wind up costing between 3-4 Trillion dollars.
So we will be spending money we DON'T have and can't afford on items most people DON'T want. Way to go Democrats!!!

Global inflations running wild due to several base factors:

1. Snap back demand from COVID
2. Lack of workers

Blame blame blame you learned from the lying cheating con man traitor Trump always someone else’s fault never his

Maybe if people didnt get free handouts from the gov they would work. I think we are still getting $250 a kid. Now add 4 or 5 kids up and snap cards that they just raised. Why would anyone want to work? I think there needs to be drug testing to get that crap and a time limit like unemployment used to be. Its meant to get a person through a hard time not make a living off of.

Good. Now that what you blame President Trump for is cleared up how about you start blaming Biden for the skyrocketing inflation we are facing?

Look at those numbers again. NONE of them are the result of your global inflation excuse. ALL of them happened here, in this Country, in the last year. ALL of them have happened in the 11 months since Biden became president, and ALL of them have happened as a direct result of policies that Biden and the Democrat far left have put into place.

You CANNOT blame any of it on Trump, because the percentages listed are the comparison between when President Trump was in office and now, when Biden is in office. And it's going to continue to get worse!!! Biden himself admitted that on network TV just the other day.
