  1. Tough! Should have saved your fqn money instead of smoking blunts

  2. Can the Democrats stop inflation? No. They're like teenagers with a brand new credit card.

  3. times are getting darker and darker, God is not pleased with the ppl in the world yet he extends his mercy on us and he is long suffering , pray without ceasing , ppl don't pay attention to the spirtual realm, things are moving quickly in the spirit realm, we have to keep our eyes open and give our time to God DAILY because it is a blessing to wake up. God bless everyone , Jesus saves, he loves you today, call out to him now ..i pray for peace, protection, and love to everyone who sees this!💕 God have mercy on us.

  4. Using the same metrics from the late 80's, inflation is over 25%. .

  5. it is fed and bradon fault. inflation is out of control. dont just jawbone, fed pigion needs to hike the rate.

  6. Looks like Russia is not suffering. Only USA is taking a big hit. America should start doing everything to reduce inflation

  7. The non tax paying corporations could stop jacking up prices, maybe use some of those tax free profits they've been earning and give actual working people a break, imo.

  8. It's the government borrowing that's creating inflation. We don't have the money so the fed prints it up. Anyone with half a brain knows that the more dollars in circulation the less they are worth.
    He says government spending doesn't cause inflation.. that's true, but he's deceiving the American people.

  9. Months of soaring prices, but now it's Russia's fault. Biden dismantled America's energy independence, so now we all pay the price. It didnt have to be this bad, but thanks to Joe, it is.

  10. After decades of getting involved in a completely unnecessary wars that exploited our economy af this is a very natural consequence

  11. "Putin Price Hike"?
    Really? Seriously?
    Democrats raised it by 5 points prior to February. And now it rises 0.8 points and the whole inflation problem is Putin's fault?
    Biden's blame game in full bloom.

  12. Yet people are still fighting to get paid more.

  13. That's just trucks and vehicles. There were guns, top of the line night
    vision, helicopters, planes, etc………… YOUR TAX DOLLARS. And now
    they are putting the screws to you as hard as they can.

  14. joebrandon left 70,000 trucks and vehicles over there.

  15. Afghanistan is now a major player selling military equipment…… OUR
    MILITARY EQUIPMENT.

  16. We had 4 years of how it could be with gas at $1.87, an incredible
    economy, a secure border and companies moving back here to produce
    goods. Now we have a disaster on our hands.

  17. Want a Green New Deal?????? Jack gas prices up to where people can't afford to go to work.

  18. A totally incompetent administration lead by a senile old crooked fool
    is screwing you, the average person out of everything you own. REMEMBER
    "YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY"…………. You think they were
    lying???

  19. After a completely fake election endorsed by fake news, the great reset is trying to take hold

  20. I'm praying for an inverted yield curve.

  21. Is Cardano the Next Visa of Crypto?

    Cardano's network possesses some important characteristics that give it a remote chance to become the next Visa

    "A presidential executive order on cryptocurrencies would 'support responsible innovation' as it coordinates U.S. policy across agencies

  22. I guess this isn't a good time for Jamal to ask for reparations for slavery.
