By doing what? By ordering prices to go up on everything every month?

I don't recall Obama raising prices on everything.

Hey, the buck stops with Biden, right?

Groceries are higher for sure, if you are fortunate to find what you are shopping for.
I’ve lived with that before and can deal with it. I cook, and I know how to shop for sales.

I can do anything about the price of Electricity. Natural Gas (which provides most of it) is at $8.76, more that double from a year ago. TeamBiden just slapped a brand new TAX on it — it will go higher.

I’m paying $200 a month more now than even one year ago. Good for me that we don’t have really cold winters - bad for those of you that do. We have another “Dark Winter” coming as Biden promised last year.

He should have said that your chances of being hospitalized or dying are far less if you`re vaccinated. This isn`t impeachable. The previous president said it would disappear "like a miracle" and it`s a Democratic hoax. Why are you giving him a pass? His lies killed thousands and most of them were his own redhat goobers.

Way to move the goalposts.

We were told -very clearly - get the vaccines and covid will end. It was a pandemic of the unvaccinated, and so forth. Vaccines aren't for the purposes of lessening symptoms by the way.

Biden lied and hopefully he will be impeached for his many crimes.

Kicking Trump`s butt is not an impeachable offense or a crime and I take my medical advice from doctors, not politicians. Did you not notice that as more people got vaccinated the Covid slacked off considerably? The unvaccinated who died committed suicide and we`re better off because of it. I`m a Silver Lining kind of person.

Good thing for the poor that inflation is good for them and bad for the rich. #CNN

Food prices have been going up for awhile. I noticed that they are also reducing the amount/quantity for the same price. There's a fancy term for it, but I forget what it is right now.

I'm not rich at all, but we're in a little bit better position than young people. I've owned my condo for many years now an have a relatively inexpensive mortgage comparing the rentals around my neighborhood.

It's tougher on younger people that generally make less than older experienced workers, loosely saying.

Shrinkflation? I think I read that term on C-D a couple of days ago referring to that.
