Inflation is only 3.2%! Things are getting better! Really? All that means is that number is added on top of the 9.1% from last year. No one’s seen the prices for food come down, right? Any other price drops at the retail level? Nope. Sure we’ve seen gasoline drop from the outrageous highs, and they’re starting to go back up as the busy summer driving season ends. Remember when those same prices used to drop a little headed into fall?
We can’t blame the middle east or OPEC in general although they share some responsibility – when our government placed more restrictions on domestic production, that’s when the cost of energy began to skyrocket. Remember what inflation was in January 2021, before Biden took office? Gasoline prices? Who should we be looking at that caused the more than $700 per month more the average family spends per month, just to survive? Donald Trump? How about Ronald Reagan? Anyone but Biden looks good to some and maybe that’s What voters should be remembering in November 2024.
