    Default Inflation surges 7% in December, highest rate in 40 years

    Get ready to relive the Carter years!

    Inflation rose at the fastest pace in nearly four decades in December, as rapid price gains fueled consumer fears about the economy and sent President Biden's approval rating tumbling.

    The consumer price index rose 7% in December from a year ago, according to a new Labor Department report released Wednesday, marking the fastest increase since June 1982, when inflation hit 7.1%. The CPI – which measures a bevy of goods ranging from gasoline and health care to groceries and rents – jumped 0.5% in the one-month period from November.

    The Fed has said that they will raise interest rates but that will only mitigate inflation a bit.

    The middle and lower income folks will suffer with higher mortgage and credit card interest rates.

    Biden/Kam are harming Americans.

    Blame greedy corporatists. Ari Melber’s show last night, he knocked it out of the park.

    Our country is not alone

    Out of control spending by the Biden/Kam Democrats are partly to blame for the out of control inflation.

    They are hurting lower and middle income Americans.

    Everyone that understands supply side economics knows transportation drives all costs. We now have higher fuel costs than under the previous admin and lack of drivers meaning some things simply don't ship driving demand. Many manufacturers are seeing trans cost higher than raw material costs when priced per unit, same for outgoing waste from that production.

    this will be worse than Carter and Biden is not near the intelligence of Carter

    You making this statement means you are ignorant about how things work.

    All thanks to Trump and you for completely fucking up the response to COVID, which created supply chain issues.

    Completely fucking wrong.

    The reason we have a supply chain crisis has nothing to do with transportation costs and everything to do with the simple fact that the supply chain shortage is in SHIPPING CONTAINERS because for most of 2020 and 2021, shipping containers that would normally take consumer goods from China to America and back, instead carried PPE from America to countries like Cameroon. Then the containers just stayed there. So let's be clear...the supply chain crisis is because of the global response to COVID in 2020-21, and has nothing to do with the cost of transportation.

    You are a joke. Time for a new sock, eh?

    13 months ago, Trump and his fan boys guaranteed me that if Biden were allowed to be inaugurated, he would cause a massive economic depression.

    Complaining about the price of peanut butter just isn't even in the same ballpark.

    Why is that? How come you spent two months pumping up the coup, but didn't join your Nazi pals when they attempted it?

    You just sit from behind your keyboard and get stupid people to do the work you're too chickenshit to do yourself.

    Poser.

    Too chickenshit to say "fuck Joe Biden".

    Fuck Jim Eagle.

    See, I don't need code words like some pussified wimp.
