American Families Struggle To Survive As Inflation And Gas Prices Soar
source
DEM is ignoring you even in this election and allows everything gouging prices.
The Calif. Big-Govt says, you don't have saying here as long as repeating voting for us.
Biden needs to cut a check to every American like he did tue stimulus check for inflation and gas alone.
They voted for Biden. Hope they are happy. I have a job and voted trump, so I can still pay bills and survive. Lol.
This is what happens when you order your president by post
Unfortunately things are not going to get better for those of us who are poor and lower middle class. This suffering and stress is our new reality 😔
Biden, we need the disinformation board immediately to solve recession
This is how Biden and Democrats are Building Back Better it's what you want and Voted for so stop the complaining. All you had to do is look at the cost of living in California, Oregon, Washington New York ect. Democrats crush the poor and middle class. But the government in these states like California will have Record Tax Revenue 100 Billion in excess tax revenue but Democrats refuse to cut the gas Tax so really who is making Record profits and fat pay check pensions corrupt Democrats government and government Unions
typical nonsense from nbc these people may have some inconvenience but there not really struggling
Come on, Americans, President Biden is leading you to fight Russia and China and to achieve the eternal US dominance. Inflation is just the little contribution you make to this greatest battle on earth in human history. Stop whining and start fighting Russia and China in your own way.
What struggle? Like oh boo hoo they gotta cut down on frozen waffles and their private tutoring while living in a big beautiful home and driving their nice cars.
I was buying my favorite popcorn for $1.99 after the price of gas rose it's now $6.49 insane.
I remember buying gas for five dollars during G.W Bush presidency so I know it will get better.
Build Back Better – Papa Joe Biden
Blame putin, blame his war. Its worldwide and 47 million people are in danger of starving to death in Sudan, theres no grains to send them, again, Putins fault.
Wonder how many votes for build back better?
Remember to thank your fellow American who voted for Biden and high gas prices never vote for democrat again we were gas independent under Trump Biden is puppet of the green new deal AOC
I’m fortunate to not own a car and have the ability to walk to work and walk to the store….
Corporate corruption.
This is nothing compare to the freedom and democracy of the Ukrainian people 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Cry cry poor dems. Reap what you sow.
Thank you voters!
This sucks but the silver lining is now we can always acknowledge the fact that we consume way too much
Most tone deaf video ever
Why is it always a single Black mother. There are plenty of two parent Black households.
NBC you are part of the problem. You were one of the biggest cheerleaders for this incompetent buffoon. Joe Biden belongs in a rest home not in the oval office
She lives in a big house with a swimming pool complaining about inflation. Cry me a river.
Everybody complaining about this economy they better vote read this coming election or it's going to get much much much much worse. Because the Democrats have set out to destroy us and they will if they get two more years with numbnut Biden
What are the Republicans doing about Inflation they Caused?
The Republicans are Refusing to pass Policies that will Stop Corporate Inflation!
FACTS!
if the poor stopped having kids they would be 80% on better terms. This will bean eureka moment when the poor realise they can't have kids until they are financially comfortable.
I cut my hair like hitler
The repercussion of believing in democratic lies
People are worried that to bring down inflation the Fed will raise interest rates too much and bring down the economy too. What they should be worried about is that rate hikes will not be enough to bring down inflation, but that they will be enough to bring down the economy!
November is coming if you want to make a change.
I can't believe so many people didn't see this coming. I said open your eyes 👀.
Is this fake news, right? USA is super wealthy. USA has billions of extra money they dont even know where to spend them. So, they just sent those billions to Ukraine. If you still have more to spare, pls send them to Ukraine again because zelensky used up the $40B already. He needs more. Thank you, hero USA.
You get what you vote for… Obama AND Trump warned everyone that Biden is a screw up.
BIDSN IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN US HISTORY
I understand all of the frustrations and issues with the rising costs and inflation and the impact it is having on American people. However, you do also have to admit that many Americans in general are very selfish, greedy, self entitled, self absorbed, and too materialistic and they don't know how to plan, budget, or manage their money or cost of spending wisely. It is important that people start to become more frugal with their money and only buy what they're going to use or what they only really need. Many Americans eat out too much and go out to shop too much without really considering or thinking about the future. Hopefully, this inflation can teach both Americans a lesson and make them understand the consequences of spending too much money or buying things that they don't really need.
That black lady is making sacrifices, everyone else looks like they’re budgeting. I’m not a BLM supporter.
Thanks Joe!
Well The Government can help them by sending another $40 Billion to Ukraine, another $15 Billion to Israel or another $3 Billion to Pakistan. Or keep spending billions of dollar for 50,000+ American soldiers in Germany Which is the richest country in Europe to defend them.
Look at the mess you're leaving for trump to clean up
