  1. Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.

  2. Oh well good thing I don’t drive and I don’t eat!

  3. The headlines have gotten people very confused: "Consumer prices rose 8.5% in July" blared CNBC, and this article is no better. Look behind the numbers: excluding housing, prices on average went up 0.0% in July! The year-over-year rate is misleading in this context.

  4. Economy was best under Trump

  5. You don't need a PhD in economics to understand the consequences of year after year of government deficits spending, non-stopped printing of dollar, huge expenses wasted on military and weapons, insane foreign aids. Inflation is just a glimpse of what is coming: recession, chaos, protests, wars and final Amagedden. Weep for our children and their children. Their future is as dark as the total sun eclipse.

  6. I'm learning English by listening to the news and I keep hearing them saying "Headline number" in the videos about inflation. Can anybody explain this term to me? Thank you so much <3

  7. WHY EXCLUDE FOOD AND ENERGY? NOT ACCURATE.

  8. Yep I'm in California eating air sandwiches. 📡👽🇺🇸 RUN!!!

  9. vote the dems out and we have $2gas and 1% inflation

  10. Crazy when prices go up they go up indefinitely instantaneously but when prices need to be lax well that's a process…..🤷🤷

  11. Funny how they use a thumbnail with gas slightly over 3 dollars 25 gallons for 79 bucks. We all wish it was back to that. But their choice in that thumbnail proves they have no intention of honesty

  12. A.m.e.r.i.c.a has c.a.n.c.e.r,stage 4. G-0-V. Is the C.a.n.c.e.r,& we have it!

  13. Don't worry super Joe we'll figure out something !!! 😆😅🤣

  14. now big oil pay 1% and 15% in taxs now goverment is doing ther job and ther doing it with out the GOP banana republican vote! if your fox you would caring about your bank account vote !

  15. This is just what these big oils companies can do. But I can wait for the energy to turn . Green . And you can by gas for a dollar. Clean Air

  16. Biden and the Dems are passing legislation and the country is moving forward. The former guy needs to go away now. I'm so sick of t rump. His right-wing extremism is ruining this country. VOTE BLUE IN 22!!

  17. Even with war added to Brandon’s long list of failures, his voters still justify and support his spineless incompetence.

  18. Shout out to George Floyd on 807 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!

  19. Watching from Philippines
