Do you care to elaborate on this? Because paying $5/gal gasoline and $8 for a carton of eggs is disastrous for me personally.

> Because paying $5/gal gasoline and $8 for a carton of eggs is disastrous for me personally. I get $5/gal gasoline being a bummer (not that I would notice since I have an EV), but where do you live where eggs cost $8 a carton? I can get 18 for < $5, that's like a cart 1.5. Or do you mean at the organic health food place, and they are handled via soft gloves or something? Seriously, I wonder if Trump supporters are just making bad buying decision and then blaming Bidenomics for it? When I lived in Switzerland, I had a lot of price shocks to go through, but my stipend was pretty high so I guess it made sense (more money, more expensive eggs). The recent inflation has been kind of like that (but my earnings went up a lot at the same time, maybe that's not usual?).

People don't seem to realize that, although Biden hasn't helped reduce inflection, Trump and those before him all the way back to Clinton (exclusive) all poured gasoline that fueled this inflation fire.

    Ya, let’s give some blame to Obama as well, and Biden was his vice president. We knew low interest rates for more than 20 years was going to mess things up, cheap money couldn’t last forever. I wish we could run the economy more like adults, not calling for a Fed ouster when they only cut rates by .25 during what the president at the time was calling the best economy ever.

  Hilarious. Yeah people like me who have been buying the same food for the last ten years just happened to buy new items at the same time inflation started.

    If you are buying $8 cartons of eggs, you either live in Hawaii or are buying some special organic ones that probably are in indistinct from the carton you can get for $3-4.

Eggs were $8 for like 2 months. They’re back to $2-3 now.
