Gas prices down, jobs up

[BidenPresident]

I wish I knew it all. Unfortunately I am far from that. If you have issue or disagreement with what I said I'm open to hearing it.

^Scared to debate liberals. Typical right winger.

[BartenderElite]

the damage is already done..........the 'trending' might slow the process, but we're still headed for hard times. of course, the liberal media is whitewashing the bad news and the lemming liberals and parrots squawk make this sound like it's an awesome return...........

I like hyping good news instead of trying to talk the economy down.

Good news can lead to more good news. Confidence is a huge factor in or economy. There is CERTAINLY no guarantee that the "damage is done." If hiring continues and inflation ticks down, it can stave off the worst expectations. We may still have a Recession - but there is no reason it can't be a mild one.

when I say that the damage is done, i'm talking about all of the people who lost everything, or almost everything. people are being laid off, losing homes or apartments.......some are finding themselves underwater with new homes they bought.......

This must be a news fly by night site, I can't find any info about this site.

Because you are an idiot and a CNN follower

It takes a real idiot to believe the off the wall tripe that you post.

Liberals hate facts, that makes you the idiot

But Biden is a disaster, right?

Yup.

Economists think inflation is going to start ticking down as well.

Not likely. The Fed is still printing money as fast as it can with no corresponding increase in wealth.

The fodder that conservatives were planning on for the mid-terms is rapidly disappearing.

Dream on, dude.

The idea that Biden has failed

He has.

is going to be a tough case to make while things are getting better for most Americans.

They aren't.

And on the flip side, the "alternative" that Republicans are offering is being highlighted by the 1/6 hearings, the Alex Jones trial, Roe being overturned and election deniers winning primaries. Most voters just aren't interested in that rabbit hole.

No, Democrats don't get to dictate the Republican platform.

[christiefan915]

he is a fucking disaster, he has slid to 1 out 5 on these important metrics vs Trump

I wouldn't support anybody who compared favorably with trump.

[Hawkeye10]

The government has no credibility on jobs numbers, and you watch how fast gas prices go up after the election.

The crude reserve can only be sold once.

It's a shifty site. If you go to this page and compare trump with all the other presidents, the only one who beats him is Clinton. That doesn't make any sense and the presidents go back to Truman.

US refineries have not been getting their needed downtime and maintenance....but that is FINE AND DANDY with the Revolution, the coming big price increases on low production as refineries are finally forced to go offline (We hope without catastrophic fires first) is exactly what they want.

Wake the fuck up people, you should be embarrassed to be such chumps.

[Concart]

Gas prices have dropped, which is great, but they are still very high. And a big part of the reason they have dropped is because demand slowed due to the high prices and fear of recession. As I understand it producers have been running at close to full capacity so there's not a lot of extra supply sitting there. Someone better versed in the industry than I can speak to this but my understanding is some of the refineries have to be taken off line periodically to be worked on, which could happen this fall, which hurts supply. Point being it's no guarantee that prices won't go back up.

More jobs are great (they are also a lagging economic indicator but that is a separate discussion) but if inflation is making people (feel) poorer then they aren't exactly in a celebratory mood.

To get the very low approval ratings Biden has takes far more than just Republicans disliking his job performance.

Wait, you mean when things cost more, people buy less? Who'da thunk?

Inflation is making people feel 'poorer' because someone told them they should feel that way. It's so completely overblown it's gotten laughable. Family of four. Average cost of living in 2021 was 7,095 a month. Median income was less (meaning most families couldn't even afford the average). THAT is the problem in a nutshell. If inflation was zero, it would STILL be the problem. We have a wage/wealth gap that has continued to grow since 1980. One party wants to fix it, the other doesn't. Can't get much simpler than that.

Oh, so they lie about the job numbers but tell the truth about inflation?

ROTFLFMAO!!!! My fucking God you are an imbecile.

They lie about both, but that's nothing new...
