“Inflation? What inflation? There is no inflation!” (Ask any Democrat.)
This morning I got just under a quarter of a tank of gas for my car for $15, at a few cents under $5 a gallon. But it could’ve been worse! In California the average price per gallon, this Labor Day weekend, is $5.25 (https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2022/09/02/california-gas-prices-at-labor-day-weekend-record/).
Then I went to the supermarket for our weekend’s groceries. Ouch! Whatever was $5 last week is now $6-plus.
Honk if you like the way the Biden mob has handled the economy.
But this whole presidency is a wrecking ball aimed at America. Millions of illegal aliens swarming over our unenforced border. Critical Race Theory and transgender propaganda in the schools. The Afghanistan fiasco. Et cetera, et cetera. And to top it all off, last night SloJo declared war on the tens of millions of us who voted for President Trump. It seems we’re “a threat to our demoncracy” (let the typo stand: it’s telling the truth). Is it a waste of breath to point out, for the zillionth time, that we do not have a “democracy,” we have a republic? Why can’t they understand that?
If gas prices do go down a few pennies, it’s only because they’re already so high that they’ve throttled the demand. But they can’t understand that, either.
Question: As for Biden’s wacko speech–are they so confident in their ability to cheat their way to victory that they don’t care what they say… or is it panic? I can’t tell.
I’m feeling the inflation mostly at the supermarket, where a week’s shopping that used to cost me less than $50 — including a lot of cat food — now costs over $70, without the cat food because the cat food shelves are mostly empty and I have to order from Chewy or Purina.
Chewy’s still pretty good.
I have found the same thing is true for me, Phoebe. The groceries that used to cost me around $55 to 60, today cost me $77.87 and I bought less. Actually, my son did the shopping for me, as I was in no way feeling well enough to do it.
This is scary.
A sign of things to come for the rest of the US
Yes–if we don’t win the midterms.
Praying for that win
Republicans have to get off their duffs and stop coasting.
