Does anyone blame the war for this inflation besides ABC News? This was predicted before the war. This inflation is due to government lack of discipline and mismanagement. If you flood the US with covid cash and spending what else would occur. This is propaganda as usaul.
By the way, the official inflation rate in Russia was app 17% in March and 18% in April.
This year's net wage loss and net asset loss will be over 10%, as in 2014/2015!
brandon has no plan. other than more hand outs.
All lies …..
I’m blaming Joe & China for spreading socialism inflation in America.
Fjb
From a strategic view, America should have that Keystone pipeline up and running. Even at minimum levels, having it operational is vital in times like these! WTF are you thinking Biden Administration???
Standard of living going down? 46th 👀
We wouldn't have a war if it wasn't for biden and the scumbags they placed in the White House !
It was up before Ukraine. Js
Stop giving Our Money away you fuckn Cunts
Listing the statistics occurring during the same time as a different event does not prove it is the cause. Biden might as well say the NBA playoffs have caused the inflation.
Right, it's the workers' fault that they're asking for living wages. It has nothing to do with the record profits corporations are making that are far greater than the increases in costs they have. Corporations are causing inflation!
How *Biden is affecting inflation.
Does anyone really believe these talking heads?
The war on the American people by the left is the reason
Biden has wasted more on the Ukraine than our border plus all our roads and bridges COMBINED.
The Russian invasion was not just spontaneous smh, Putin didn’t just wake up and go I think I’ll invade Ukraine today.
Stop giving them billions of dollars of our tax money. There's an idea….
I am not a huge Trump fan but we didn't have this under him. Everything started taking a nosedive the day Biden took over. And then he gets up there and blames everyone else like we don't know any different. CLUELESS. He'll figure it out in November. It'll be great.
We saw this coming cause cause they ended one war
Gas went down 6%? Food is only up less than 1%? What a bunch of BULL! Journalism is truly dead in this country!
Labor shortage = too many low paying jobs. Food stamps and couch surfing is better for some than working for $300 a week.
these two things have ZERO correlation.
Really? Trying to blame the war for Joe's inflation? Nonsense. Inflation comes from the government printing to much fiat currency. If Biden wants to stop inflation, he'll need to go against his own fossil fuel policies and stop spending money. He won't, so enjoy the sh*tshow until 2024.
It seems that over the past day the Russian army has not taken active offensive actions, so the summary of the General staff is so short
@
I'm no economist, but when I go to the store to buy hamburger and it's almost $5 a pound, I know that inflation is one hell of a lot more than 8.5%. Also, have you noticed, that what has been standard packaging for years is now less like 16 oz is now 15 oz., 10 is 9, etc. I bet that's not figured into inflation. Guess what Biden, you can't blame this on anybody but yourself because you don't listen to anybody. You have Putin on the brain and it has gotten us into trouble.
Gas did not go down it went up and wages went down!
Stock market, economy, inflation, wages decline, Pulled out of one war to get into another one, crime rate, censored truth! Next election no one vote blue!
FJB
It's BIDEN'S inflation, not Putin's. Stop spending so much money!
Remember inflation was going on before war…. Bidenflation is only transitory
The FED has lost it and the sad fact is, it's pretty obvious we are headed for hyperinflation. I think stores better have tight security because when people can't afford to feed their families, things might get ugly.
LOL!
Total leftist Bullshit! Gas is down? Fucking liars! Everyday everything gets worst with Biden.
Thanks Democrats.
We shouldn’t be involved in Ukraine conflict. American politicians are corrupt. The middle class is going down.
This started before the war.
How about stop printing money out of thin air?
It's not the war, it's unnecessary sanctions that creating this price rise. US stopped buying oil from Russia and other products
BS gotta love it dementia Joe can sure blame everyone else. Sorry but this train wreck started way before the wAr started.. Americans are not as stupid as you think. You and the left and hollywood and the media are so incredibly out of touch. FJB
It's almost as if these corporate media people exist in a bubble, and are years behind the curve. Or maybe their main purpose isn't to inform the public, but to gaslight.
Inflation was skyrocketing before invasion this is a lie all liars
How is this the war when THIS EXACT SITUATION was being called over a year ago? Gas has to do with no domestic oil drilling in the US while we purchase foreign oil that can be impacted by economic situations such as WARS but refusing to allow American oil production is the reason for gas prices. Food has to do with the war in a way but isn’t the reason for why food and work shortages are taking place, THAT has to do with large companies being restricted by government taxes because Biden thinks taxing the wealthy WHO ALREADY PAY A MAJORITY OF THE TAXES will help their over spending when the truth is allowing these companies and wealthy to grow their companies who hire people who make the resources that produce the food and goods we consume using the money were paid from the jobs we were hired to work. For some reason, democrats thinks printing money and restricting companies will lead to higher wages when its the inverse.
