Inflation Numbers Put A Wrench Into Americans’ Summer Plans

According to Hopper.com, airfare is the highest their stats have seen and hotel rates have surged a whopping 36 percent since pre-pandemic numbers. » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

  1. Who pays…..YOU DO!
    Biden wants to forgive trillions of dollars’ worth of student loans and have you (taxpayers) pay for them.
    This is on top of Inflation and fuel at 40 year highs!!! LGB

  2. Thanks Democratic Party for a great summer again 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  3. Thanks, Federal Reserve!!

  4. Wahh. But no one complained when they were getting $1200 bailout checks. What did ppl think was going to happen when printing trillions into the economy

  5. Wait till they travel to San Diego, CA for vacation this year……🤣🤣🤣
    Gas is $6.20 in certain areas.

  6. But somehow it isnt the Presidents fault. Convienent…

  7. YOLO= I'm gonna do something that deep down I know I shouldn't

  8. On March 27, 2020 Trump signed the $3.8 Trillion Corona Virus Aid and Relief Economic Security (Act). The C.A.R.E.S. Act. All of it was unearned printed paper or fiat money. President Biden signed the $1.9 Trillion Economic Recovery Stimulus Act in 2021. Again, all was unearned printed paper fiat money. And lets not forget that both Republicans and Democrats in Congress both approved these bills before that were signed into law. A total of $5.7 Trillion of unearned and unborrowed fiat money, in a year, pumped into the economy to get the US trough the worst of the pandemic. So… Trump is responsible for approximately 2/3’s of our current inflation, and Biden approximately 1/3’d.

    All the non fiat money price increase occurring since then are the result of supply and demand issues mostly, but not entirely, brought on by the Covid pandemic. The lack of smooth predictable distribution of goods due to the truck driver shortage (long in the making before the pandemic) are supply and demand related, NOT inflation related. Separate Inflation, the devaluation of each dollar by printing more unearned dollars, from price increases due to supply and demand.

    Also, the current invasion of Ukraine by Russia (Russia being the largest producer of oil in the world) and related possible sanctions of Russia, are responsible for the some of the increase in gas pump prices. Since Russia invaded Ukraine we can expect $5+ gasoline until the Ukrainians patriots prevail, which is looking probable.

    Additionally. The Federal Reserve is raising interest rates to blunt inflation. Historically, a 5% Prime Rate is a sign of a healthy economy. A 0% or 1% Prime Rate is a sign of a sick economy.

    Freedom isn’t free now is it?

  9. I'm blessed by 👆👆☑️ he got me 3BTC thanks dude.

  10. I'm blessed by 👆👆☑️ he got me 3BTC thanks dude.

  11. Welcome to the incompetent and clueless fool Joe Biden's new America of misery, chaos, violence, and death.

  12. We know thousands of operatives each visited dozens of drop boxes to stuff ballots
    We know they had ballot stash houses and where those stash houses were. We know these ballot mules coordinated with Democrat orgs. We know they knew just how many they needed to win the election. We know politicians were involved. We know election officials committed fraud and intentionally covered it up. We know the FBI is part of the cover up. We know judges are corrupt and intentionally blocked evidentiary hearings.? We know ActBlue and Facebook were involved among many other orgs. In a sane world Biden would resign in light of this overwhelming, undeniable evidence.

  13. Inflation is shrink wrapping the American dream.

  14. All thanks to Joe Biden!

  15. I'm good, I live at the beach and love it!

  16. You know why certain Americans shoot down Everything and Choose Not to Wash they * They Fake and Funky I ain't going

  17. Don't have summer plans. Work, go to school & rent a single room. Don't let these people fool you, they're telling what's left of the middle class to start discounting for once.

  18. Wants Vs Needs – time to make the hard decisions

  19. Thank goodness we gave soo much money to foreigners instead of helping Americans. Remember the price of lead?

  20. Do you have a disease?Struggling with something?Or can't pay your bills? Then join the Largest online prayer platform in the world where thousands of people receive miracles like getting cured of cancer to getting jobs miraculously I can guarantee your life won't stay the same.

    From monday to friday 6am GMT

  21. Oh no! It looks like authoritarians telling everyone that they couldn’t go to work while printing over 5 trillion dollars to pacify them wasn’t the best decision after all. Who could have possibly seen this coming?

  22. Lets vote for joe so this great presidency can last six more years🤯

  23. Nice 👍 job Biden and Democrats!

  24. I keep reading about people grabbing multi-digit income in investments every month, even in these crazy days in the market, any pointers on how to make substantial progress in income? I would appreciate. The cost of living at this time is getting really high.??I really need good ways to increase my finance😫

  28. Biden's gotta get hurt, so you gotta hurt no cheap days allowed.

  29. Yeah but as Democrats could say the economy is doing good LOL

  30. 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?

  31. Wish I was rich enough to go on vacation, all I know is staycation

  32. The far left pedophile Dems are partially responsible for this economic crisis . Where's all the libs who voted for this mess ???!!!! Not a word . They're protesting abortion laws WTF

  33. 2 Esdras 16:1-78
    "Woe to you, Babylon, and Asia! woe to you, Egypt, and Syria! Gird up yourselves with sackcloth and garments of hair, and bewail your children, and lament; for your destruction is at hand. A sword is sent upon you, and who is he that may turn it back? A fire is sent upon you, and who is he that may quench it?

    Plagues are sent upon you, and who is he that may drive them away?

    May one drive away a hungry lion in the wood? or may one quench the fire in stubble, when it has once begun to burn? May one turn again the arrow that is shot of a strong archer?

    The Lord God sends the plagues, and who shall drive them away?

    A fire shall go forth from his wrath, and who is he that may quench it? He shall cast lightning, and who shall not fear? he shall thunder, and who shall not tremble? The Lord shall threaten, and who shall not be utterly broken in pieces at his presence?

    The earth quaketh, and the foundations thereof; the sea arises up with waves from the deep, and the waves of it shall be troubled, and the fishes thereof also, at the presence of the Lord, and before the glory of his power: for strong is his right hand that bendeth the bow, his arrows that he shooteth are sharp, and shall not miss, when they begin to be shot into the ends of the world.

    Behold, the plagues are sent forth, and shall not return again, until they come upon the earth.

    The fire is kindled, and shall not be put out, till it consume the foundations of the earth. Like as an arrow which is shot of a mighty archer returns not backward, even so the evils that are sent forth upon earth shall not return again.

    Woe is me! woe is me! who will deliver me in those days?

    The beginning of sorrows, and there shall be great mourning; the beginning of famine, and many shall perish; the beginning of wars, and the powers shall stand in fear; the beginning of plagues, and all shall tremble!

    What shall they do in all this when the plagues shall come?

    Behold, famine and plague, tribulation and anguish! they are sent as scourges for amendment. But for all these things they shall not turn them from their wickedness, nor be always mindful of the scourges.

    Behold, food shall be so good and cheap upon earth, that they shall think themselves to be in good case, and even then shall evils grow upon earth, sword, famine, and great confusion. For many of them that dwell upon earth shall perish of famine; and the other, that escape the famine, shall the sword destroy.

    And the dead shall be cast out as dung, and there shall be no man to comfort them: for the earth shall be left desolate, and the cities thereof shall be cast down.

    There shall be no husbandman left to till the earth, and to sow it. The trees shall give fruit, and who shall gather them? The grapes shall ripen, and who shall tread them? for in all places there shall be a great forsaking: for one man shall desire to see another, or to hear his voice.

    For of a city there shall be ten left, and two of the field, which have hidden themselves in the thick groves, and in the clefts of the rocks. As in an orchard of olives upon every tree there be left three or four olives, or as when a vineyard is gathered there be some clusters left by them that diligently seek through the vineyard; even so in those days there shall be three or four left by them that search their houses with the sword.

    And the earth shall be left desolate, and the fields thereof shall be for briers, and her ways and all her paths shall bring forth thorns, because no sheep shall pass therethrough. The virgins shall mourn, having no bridegrooms; the women shall mourn, having no husbands; their daughters shall mourn, having no helpers. In the wars shall their bridegrooms be destroyed, and their husbands shall perish of famine.

    Hear now these things, and understand them, you servants of the Lord. Behold, the word of the Lord, receive it: disbelieve not the things whereof the Lord speaks. Behold, the evils draw near, and are not slack. Like as a woman with child in the ninth month, when the hour of her delivery draweth near, within two or three hours doleful pains compass her womb, and when the child comes forth from the womb, there shall be no tarrying for a moment: even so shall not the evils be slack to come upon the earth, and the world shall groan, and sorrows shall take hold of it on every side.

    O my people, hear my word: make you ready to the battle, and in those evils be even as pilgrims upon the earth. He that selleth, let him be as he that fleeth away: and he that buys, as one that will lose: he that occupieth merchandise, as he that has no profit by it: and he that builds, as he that shall not dwell therein: he that sows, as if he should not reap: so also he that pruneth the vines, as he that shall not gather the grapes: they that marry, as they that shall get no children; and they that marry not, as the widowed.

    Inasmuch as they that labor labor in vain; for strangers shall reap their fruits, and spoil their goods, overthrow their houses, and take their children captive, for in captivity and famine shall they beget their children: and they that traffick traffick to become a spoil: the more they deck their cities, their houses, their possessions, and their own persons, the more will I hate them for their sins, says the Lord.

    Like as a right honest and virtuous woman hates a harlot, so shall righteousness hate iniquity, when she decketh herself, and shall accuse her to her face, when he comes that shall defend him that diligently searcheth out every sin upon earth.

    Therefore be you not like thereto, nor to the works thereof. For yet a little while, and iniquity shall be taken away out of the earth, and righteousness shall reign over us.

    Let not the sinner say that he has not sinned: for he shall burn coals of fire upon his head, which says, I have not sinned before God and his glory. Behold, the Lord knows all the works of men, their imaginations, their thoughts, and their hearts.

    Who said, Let the earth be made; and it was made: Let the heaven be made; and it was made. And at his word were the stars established, and he knows the number of the stars. Who searcheth the deep, and the treasures thereof; he has measured the sea, and what it contains. Who has shut the sea in the midst of the waters, and with his word has he hanged the earth upon the waters. Who spreadeth out the heaven like a vault; upon the waters has he founded it. Who has made in the desert springs of water, and pools upon the tops of the mountains, to send forth rivers from the height to water the earth.

    Who framed man, and put a heart in the midst of the body, and gave him breath, life, and understanding, yes, * the spirit of God Almighty! * He who made all things, and searcheth out hidden things in hidden places, surely he knows your imagination, and what you think in your hearts.

    Woe to them that sin, and would hide their sin! Forasmuch as the Lord will exactly search out all your works, and he will put you all to shame. And when your sins are brought forth before men, you shall be ashamed, and your own iniquities shall stand as your accusers in that day. What will you do? or how will you hide your sins before God and his angels?

    Behold, God is the judge, fear him: leave off from your sins, and forget your iniquities, to meddle no more with them for ever: so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from all tribulation.

    For, behold, the burning wrath of a great multitude is kindled over you, and they shall take away certain of you, and feed you with that which is slain to idols. And they that consent to them shall be had in derision and in reproach, and be trodden under foot of them.

    For there shall be in various places, and in the next cities, a great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord. They shall be like mad men, sparing none, but spoiling and destroying them that still fear the Lord. For they shall waste and take away their goods, and cast them out of their houses. Then shall be manifest the trial of mine elect; even as the gold that is tried in the fire.

    Hear, O you mine elect, says the Lord: behold, the days of tribulation are at hand, and I will deliver you from them. Be you not afraid, neither doubt; for God is your guide: and you who keep my commandments and precepts, says the Lord God, let not your sins weigh you down, and let not your iniquities lift up themselves.

    Woe to them that are fast bound with their sins, and covered with their iniquities, like as a field is fast bound with bushes, and the path thereof covered with thorns, that no man may travel through! It is even shut off, and given up to be consumed of fire.”
