All I know is I like to eat filet mignon. When I go to the grocery store and buy my favorite cut of filet mignon? The price at the grocery store is now the exact same price it used to cost when I would go to my favorite steakhouse prepared by a chef and served to me….and order it off the menu. Lol I don’t even want to fathom to guess what it would now cost at my favorite steakhouse.

A combo junk food meal at a fast restaurant will set you back $12-$15 now. It cost about $50 more to fill up my gas tank than it did a few months ago. For those who have to commute daily to work, you’re talking about $200-$400 more per month just for fuel, if you have a family? Add another $600 monthly for higher food costs. And it just goes up and more widespread from there.

And you can completely and absolutely 100% solely thank Joe Biden for all of this and everything else that’s coming.

Are you far left liberals and Democrats who voted for this quack job, every time you figure out your monthly budget and realize it’s about $1500 a month more than it was 10 months ago, thank yourself.

I was graduated out of FHA to bank for my farm back in the day , went from 8% to 21%, we kept the farm, many lost theirs. Don’t expect government to care, maybe their plan is to cause change. They do not need or care what happens to you if they reach their plan of action!

This is the liberal answer to your post:

“But see, these are rich people problems. You should be eating canned peas, not filet. Drive to work? Why aren’t you walking or riding a bicycle? It’s free, it’s good for you, and you’ll save the planet! Feeding your family? We’re overpopulated! Why did you even have kids? And put a sweater on if you’re cold!”

Inflation started ramping up during the last administration.

I have a farm that I considered a weekend getaway and never planned to live at full time. After witnessing the irrational govt response to covid, my plans changed.

If you think our inflation is insane, you don't know much about history.

And you don't even pay attention to the news. You should check out real news more, and see what's happening, and you'll be grateful that we are nowhere near that kind of desperation.

So has that what this country has boiled down to? Comparing which left liberal turd, drunken sailor policy is worse? That sounds like a race to the bottom as a country

Those who are complaining the loudest on these threads are the typical self-defined victims of everything and everyone. Their entire life has been a rotten deal, especially since the Obama administration. Golly - Things just keep getting worse. Filet mignon is almost out of reach. It costs a lot to fill up both the Lexus and the Hummer.

Insane inflation? That's hilarious. You weren't around in the 80's, when interest rates reached 15% and inflation was at a similar level.

It’s like you are telling the Vietnamese POW, “why are you complaining? You should be grateful you weren’t a Japanese POW back in WW2.”

Both things can be bad. They don’t have to be equally bad for them both to be bad.
