Inflation Frustration Sets In As Consumers Appear To Cut Back On Spending



The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates by half a percentage point, aiming to cool off demand and slow inflation. This comes as there are growing signs that people are holding back from making purchases. In a new NBC News/Morning Consult online poll, six in ten shoppers say they’ve decided not to purchase an item because it was too expensive or decided to wait until the price went down.

  1. Thanks to all the demorats .. hope your proud of yourself ..

  2. 「目標を指定してお金が必要」、

  3. Over the last five years, the market generated an average return above 19%. Even with 15% inflation, you come out with a 4% growth in real returns. On top of that, if you own properties, inflation pumps up your property value a lot which can make borrowing a lot.

  4. How there is an inflation, but there are Billions been send overseas. Does Americans matter to this administration?

  5. Hiking interest rates to cool off the red hot economy!

  6. En Amérique l'inflation atteint 8,5% en Mars 2022. Un record depuis 40 ans. Après une première hausse de ses taux la FED prévoit plusieurs hausses successives de ses taux dans les mois à venir. Pour combattre l'inflation galopante le taux directeur de la FED doit être à 7% au lieu de 0,5% à ce jour. C'est encore très loin !
    En Zone €uro l'inflation atteint 7,5% en Mars 2022. Un record depuis 30 ans. Pour combattre l'inflation galopante la BCE présente sa double face de pirouette. Parole: la BCE affirme son intention de lutter contre l'inflation galopante. Acte: la BCE garde ses taux inchangés. Cependant Le marché s'attend à plusieurs hausses successives des taux de la BCE en 2022. Pour combattre l'inflation le taux directeur de la BCE doit être à 6% au lieu de 0% à ce jour. C'est encore très loin ! L'inflation dépassera 12% en Zone €uro en 2022 selon le FMI. La BCE doit suivre la hausse des taux de la FED dans les mois à venir. Faute de quoi l'€uro (fondante depuis 2008 passant de 1,6 US$ en 2008 à 1,05 US$ à ce jour) risque de tomber sous la barre de 1,0 US$ et de devenir une monnaie de singes, abandonnée par les banques centrales du monde comme la seconde monnaie de réserves.

  7. Consumer will tighten more after June when everyone has spent all their tax refund.

  8. Urgent Alert !! Supreme Court and DOJ are compromised!

    since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos. Put an end to the Trumpist Republicans

    The world has greater peril from those who tolerate evil, like the DOJ, than from Trump and his fellow insurrectionist! DOJ Garland is ending democracy by not prosecuting Trumpist.

    Civil Contempt For Trump, But Trump Has Not Been Indicted
    1. the DOJ really wants to let Trump go
    2. DOJ Garland is afraid of what might happen to himself
    3. DOJ Garland is afraid to do his job and wants others to Pursue Trump in Civil Court

    DOJ Garland
    promised to hold Trump insurrectionists accountable, but he has not done so for the insurrection leaders and he is not cooperating with all other justice departments.
    Garlands plan is to wait out the clock so he can say, oh we just couldn't get to it in time.

  9. US economy is weak & government lies to the people, soon recession on a scale of Great Depression.

  10. It just costs me 90 F-ing dollars to fill my gas tank 16 gallons …..seriously wtf Joe?!

  11. A little is a sign for must more. You are going to see that Unites states MADED the wrong move by outside making parts for the things we needs. China can be putting pressure on the states because they can. This is about who will be the superpower of the world

  12. They left Americans to suffer

  13. Never let a crisis go to 🗑 waste! The Democrats are terrified 😨 of upcoming midterm elections based off recent polls. This leak is an attempt to keep the remaining sheeple distracted from the real issues in 🇺🇸 America: hyperinflation, border crisis, gender & critical race theory.

    #TRUMP2024

  14. Orange man looks good now 😡

  15. Inflation is what happens when Billionaires hoard all the money!

  16. I agree with you on that, With the rate of inflation ravaging US and the world at large, the economy is heading towards a severe recession and The best way to find that balance between saving and living is employing the services of a professional.

  17. Some people don't like inflation.

  18. Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $10,000 investment every 20days. .

  19. Our economy is falling apart. It's literally being killed by hyperinflation.

  20. joe biden serving the public for 50 years enriching himself has fkd our country while he descends into oblivion…

  21. The price of gas will go down in America if American gas executives and their families were targeted by MAGAT Fox TV/Facebook followers.

    44 Americans are shot by other Americans each day so who would notice?
