When there is inflation and money is getting tight it means one has to take a look at their budget and adjust accordingly.
Yes, less spending, less eating out and downsizing. Not a rocket science.
More and more people are feeling the Bidenflation pinch, but how in the hell can nearly half of those earning $100,000+ barely keep their heads above water?
Of course you want to make excuses for your Biden guy but inflation of 1.26% is normal compared to the 4%, 5%, 6% and 7% we are seeing after Biden and your Democrats gained full control the federal government.
The demand for goods from Americans at a time when supply chains are not fully operational is record setting for sure.
Everyone was calling for a V economy and they got one.....the demand for goods, oil, services surged in January of 2021 and that demand has not eased at all. Record levels being set at ports, corporations making HUGE profits......when will people stop buying?
We talk about USA being oil dependent and then we read that oil producers have not returned to pre-pandemic levels because of taking advantage of record setting profits. These high prices and constant demand -- why would they put more product on the market and bring hte price down.
I am sitting here watching the news that is reporting the huge unprecedented demand for spring break travel, despite inflation. Miami, Orlando, the Gulf Coast and Hawaii are the hot spots.
Due to demand, lodging prices in some areas have doubled.
Spring break includes families with children, not just young adults.
According to this, nearly 40% plan to travel during Spring Break, up from 29% in 2021. Vbror reporting a nearly 50% increase in demand compared to 2021.
The right's red hot hatred of lets see, Clinton, Obama, and Biden had nothing to do with it of course....
Sorry, Trump is just a greedy incompetent idiot blowhard. Anybody alive since the 70s knows that if they ever take their partisan blinders off. He was an idiot back when he was a DEMOCRAT supporter (he lived in NYC so had to bribe Democrats back then) and not a politician himself. He was just busy bankrupting casinos that he bought and using his firehose of lies philosophy to confuse those he wanted to take advantage of. Still an idiot now that he has went neo-fascist Republican supporting far right Putin-esque policies, an incompetent wannabe crime boss.
Let’s discuss policies instead of your attempt at deflection.
Trump:
- reduced taxes across the board for everyone, the economy responded by posting the highest growth since the 80’s, unemployment lowest for over half a century. Trillions pumped back into this country’s economy through repatriation due to his lowered taxes,
- kept out millions of illegals that if they had entered would have required tax payers to pay for them,
- reduced medical costs including drugs by reducing government red tape,
- removed ridiculous red tape so domestic oil production increased to where we were energy independent.
Biden:
- signed off on executive orders on his first days in office killing oil pipelines, fracking for oil, reversing many of Trump’s orders that reduced government red tape, which made us energy dependent again,
- spent trillions on government waste on Leftist social justice causes under the guise of infrastructure and helping the needy
- forcing vaccine mandates on workers that lead to worker shortages, supply shortages,etc.
- let in 2+ millions illegals in just 2021 alone that taxpayers have to pay to house, feed, school, provide medical services for, etc.

I bet 75% gets put on credit cards with no thought to the future! People are tired of lockdowns and mandstes - they feel they “deserve” a vacation with no cares about the bills coming.

All excuses. Just look at the actual actions of Trump versus Biden in my post above. Any sane person can see how one was pro-economy and the other was anti-economy.

While people should always live and spend according to their means and the state of the economy (and eventually most will adjust because they have no choice but to) the fact remains that it’s economic inflation that is at fault right now for that 48% living pay check to pay check.
