  1. Hell is having a good day lol 😆

  2. If POWELL was INDEPENDENT, PROFESSIONAL and COMPETENT he would have hiked Fed rate by 2-3 % every month till Reverse this MONSTER INFLATION that is ravaging us. But reality is he was strictly warned by BIDEN not to cause RECESSION and hence RUIN DEMOCRATS CHANCE of reelection! So we will enjoy INFLATION till we wipe out all dems in November. He will tell us INFLATION is down to 5% or 4% and he is in the RIGHT DIRECTION while we are burning!

  3. This channel is full of crap. Don't you people get tired of bull crap ?

  4. audit the fed, adopt austrian economics= problem solved.

  5. Well for starters, each state should force Big Companies and rich people to pay higher taxes and the state governments can take all of their money as a penalty if they don't pay taxes.

  6. No you don't, the regulations need to disappear. Not communist price controls.

  7. Supposedly the vast majority of people voted for Biden. Since that seems to be the case I say fu*k these people. This is what they wanted and now this is what they have! Welcome to a preview of your “new green deal”!

  8. Price controls on diesel and gasoline will boost discretionary spending and keep the shelves full.

  9. Price control is the last thing we need

  10. No, price controls equals less supply. Idiots.

  11. So the government sets prices like Communist . WT HECK

  12. Most people are absolutely ignorant. Just look what happens when other nations institute price controls. It increases the shortages and prices!

  13. Tell a company that they have to sell something at a certain price that isn’t profitable, they stop making it or sell it somewhere else. Simple economics 101.

  14. 5%,?, who are those clueless people

  15. We need to change the laws for drilling for oil and stop share holders from controlling the system

  16. No!! I don't think the government needs to touch anything more especially this administration.

  17. Amerika ya lucu teriak teriak apa apa mahal,inflasi,resesi tidak mau ke Indonesia.

  18. Makes you wonder which mega corporations 'Sponsored' this news segment. 🙄

  19. Yea it was going to happen
    The Mexican anchor baby's
    Single moms getting Rewards having more kids
    Voting in feelings
    And last but not least sending out free money with no work!
    It was coming sooner or later

  20. It's not enough to express our concerns in a comments section! We ALL need to express them out loud in all areas of life in order to be heard and for change to grow no matter the consequences!

  21. need to produce products at home especially medicine.

  22. Absolutely! Any goods made in a prison or devalued foreign currency should have price caps. This is a much better solution than tariffs. If they make it for 15 in china and sell it for 500 it's price gouging. They set the precedent for this when they capped insulin prices.

    Why is this princilple not being applied to other goods? It's not a free market for you to enjoy slave labor prices when ordinary American citizens can't do the same. Either price caps or we cut out the middle man and order everything directly from China online.

    Time for Wal-Mart slave labor privilege to end. Why should we pay the cost of inflation so they can keep a extra 100% profit on top of their 10,000% profits.

  23. OMFG, did we not learn anything from the 70s? Price control means engineered Inflation/scarcity. If you can't sell a product more than cost, they just won't carry it. If price controls hit be ready for a economic collapse of the likes never seen. We won't even be able to afford sawdust for our water soup.

  24. Our country is being invaded by millions of illegals—half of which are young, male, drug cartel gang members, flooding America with neighborhood crime & deadly fentanyl—and only 7% think BORDER SECURITY is our #1 issue?
    And only 4% think ELECTION INTEGRITY is the #1 issue?
    I’m in that 4%.
    Without ELECTION INTEGRITY—and Democrats remain in power—none of this is ever going to change for the good.
    My Top 5:
    1. ELECTION INTEGRITY
    2. BORDER SECURITY
    3. CRIME
    4. INFLATION
    5. FOREIGN POLICY

  25. The supreme Court Richard Nixon's wage and price control Nixon lost in the Supreme Court
