#msg6032785I've noticed the mainstream media, even local stations like Channel 2, doing story after story after story DAILY about inflation and grocery prices. Pushing that narrative that seems to suggest inflation is crippling people and ruining the economy. While prices are up and none of us enjoy this, is it really all that much worse now to warrant endless sob stories about how bad it is right before mid terms….hmmmm bc inflation under Biden was 9% friends… Ai Summary AI Summary Inflation rates during Joe Biden's presidency were significantly higher than those observed during Donald Trump's second term. Biden's inflation peaked at nearly 9% in mid-2022, while Trump's administration has seen moderating inflation rates, averaging around 3% since 2025. factually.co Inflation Comparison Overview Examining the inflation trends reveals key differences between the two administrations. Biden's Peak Inflation - Inflation reached approximately 9% in mid-2022 during Biden's presidency. Trump's Average Inflation - Under Trump, the average inflation rate from 2025 to present is around 3%. Economic Conditions - Biden's inflation was influenced by post-pandemic recovery and supply chain issues, while Trump's term has seen more stable economic conditions. Consumer Price Index (CPI) - The CPI during Biden's term showed a more volatile trend compared to the steadier rates under Trump. bidentotrump.com

MissAmericanPie : And yet they didn't do it under Biden. They just didn't talk about it. And that's when the price is really went up was under Biden.

You are corect, but how did Covid related reductions in available necessities affect their prices? How did the Avian flu affect the availability of eggs?Those that said don't give people money because of Covid, it will causer inflation were right about the inflation. Today's in̈flation is due to factors. Its apples and oranges

Rapsalot : Yes i know it was Covid stuff under Biden and the egg he layed with the American Rescue Act which supposedly triggered more inflation. With Trump its the war….theres always reasons. But yes, groceries and household goods were up big time. But you are proving my point bc it was as bad or worse then yet now the worlds coming to an end bc Trump is hated and the media drives the car.

It doesnt even matter why, it just is about what we are being fed.

Rapsalot :
According to a CNN article, he lost bc of the high prices of food and goods. Thats ok, inflation was off the charts and things were expensive. The next election will hear all about it again.

#msg6032917Clloresch : Well for one, insulting someone over a minor error that doesnt even effect you and saying you cant have a serious conversation with someone after we already were. Or so i thought. Just move on if you dont like the conversation here.

MissAmericanPie : Where's my insult to a person? Please copy and paste for me.

I'm sure I can find a dozen or more that you've tossed out to your fellow kdc'rs

#msg6032922Clloresch : You're rude for verbally attacking people who have done nothing to you. Are you drunk? That would at least explain it.

justanirishgirl : Is that an attack on my character? That would at least explain it 🙂 I bet missamericanpie would allow this while reprimanding me. You're too old. Take a nap.

The media is doing daily stories about prices because it is current and they are rising. Everything depends on fuel one way or another. The 2 wars started by Putin and Trump have led to the price rises across the world.
Let's not blame covid and Biden for actions taken by Putin and Trump.

Things are actually as bad as is being reported. All glory to God, that's great that you're not feeling it but I assure you it exists and is as bad as its being made out to be.

Of course the cost of living always goes up but this much in such a short amount of time is really hurting people. I cant believe you think its made up though. You're blessed.
