I am an independent voter and I've voted for both parties in the past...this sounds like a bunch of election-year pumping to me. Compared to many I have no room to complain, but I used to be able to put quite a of money aside prior to the pandemic, and now we're taking from those savings (and now that the kids are old enough to be left alone, my wife is working too!) I don't believe this happy horseshit for one minute.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoStated a different way, the 5 year inflation is almost 25%. Does that feel like horseshit?
- wakawaka28 3y agoIt feels like horse shit because the real number is like 50%. If/when they cut rates, price inflation will likely be about 15-20% per year.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoJust did a grocery run. The only thing up anywhere close to 50% was Coke, and even that's only up 40%. Bread was up 10%, and that's typical IME.
- wakawaka28 3y agoI think you either have a great grocery store near you or you didn't notice. Flour, sugar, eggs, meat, snacks, just about everything has gone up by 50% or more. Food in most restaurants has gone up too. Go look at https://shadowstats.com https://shadowstats.com if you want to see how the government cooks their inflation numbers.
