Bullcrap! Bud Light is cheap.. 😢
You are not funny.
The American economy blows
what an ignorant comment 🤣
Is this what they meant by Build Back Better??? Asking for a friend.
B.B.B. better business bureau
$9.82 for pound of hamburger meat in Texas yet methamphetamines are $50 an eightball
There’s was a huge bust in the news recently. I’m sure those prices will be going up soon.
Well if u get the eight ball you’ll be so high u don’t wanna eat plus win win u lose weight. So I guess I should start now huh
When even these guys are admitting it, you know it’s bad
It’s time to retaliate, if we don’t we are going to keep paying higher prices, I will be making my own bread and much more, no extras.
Biden is senile……
Of course its hgher. Gov debt demands it. This is not going away.
Joe biden is an angle 😳 👌
“Pandemic era price surges”… that’s the root cause of it
Car insurance premiums are up mainly because of stupid people behind steering wheels
Market is about to crash! Stock up on food, water, guns and ammo!
⛔⛔The Chinese, Russians, EU, Japan, etc are DUMPING junk ponzi treasuries! therefore, RATES WILL GO HIGER AND HIGHER! Foreigners especially China was subsidizing our PONZI con-my and since Trump started the trade war and Biden made it worse. China and the world doesn’t want to invest in a PONZI FIAT dollar con-my! Thats why Janet Yellen made her 2 visit w/in 5 mos to CHINA…begging them NOT to dump anymore! INFLATION IS SKYROCKETING due to our endless SANCTIONS and WARS!
Biden has no plan for the so called middle class. The tax paying middle class are in trouble. Biden only worries about illegal alien criminals. He is about to give more work permits to these criminals. After they get work permits they still live off the government benefits.
raise interest rates to 20%
He can never be Paul Volcker. Our debt is too high. We can’t service it at 20%
Bidenomics….
Don’t be fooled or forget. Gas prices took off when Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline day one & started his push for EV cars. High gas prices = high prices for food/products !
U.S petroleum production rose during Biden’s term, significantly. The United States produced more crude oil than any nation at any time for the past six years in a row.
Crude oil production in the United States averaged 12.9 million barrels per day ) in 2023, breaking the previous U.S. and global record of 12.3 million set in 2019. Average monthly U.S. crude oil production established a monthly record high in December 2023 at more than 13.3 million b/d.
We are the largest oil producer on the planet, by far. Bigger than Saudi Arabia. Bigger than Russia. So no, Biden has not stopped oil production.
@@kenofken9458 you incease production, but you do even more. cancel pipeline, licenses… also give less license wouldnt help, also deny oil from russia, not have good relation with saudis…. add to problems. you said production of oil rose under biden. but how much, it could 10 times more, but if it is just 1 time more, its useless. also pushing ev, which is rich people’s car, isnt helping
@@kenofken9458 rose production of oil means nothing, if it isnt enough. biden gave less licenses, he canceled the pipeline, deny oil from russia, destroyed relation with saudis. if usa needs 5 times more production of oil, but we did 2 times, and you think thats positive. it means negative 3
@@benedibrava It could not have increased 10 times more. Or even 1.5 times more. The production capacity is simply not there to expand that much, and certainly not to do so on the time scale of a year or three.
Oil companies aren’t stupid either. Why would they vastly expand production in a way which would dramatically lower prices, and thus their profits? They know where the sweet spot is financially, and it’s not in extracting every drop as fast as possible to keep pump prices low.
We were getting very little oil from the Russians in the scheme of things. Their big money maker was selling gas to Europe, primarily Germany. Cutting that off affected Europe’s prices far more than ours. We were not buying Russian gas and in fact most of what replaced Russian gas comes from us.
@@kenofken9458 oil companies wont low prices because its not good for them? okay give licenses to more people even foreigners, also get oil from russia, release reserve, sell weapons to saudis for more fuel to usa… let me if they are not going to low their prices. thats why biden has to go, these people dont understand economy market and business. i can find hundred of ways to make private sector low their prices, that without including lowering tax, not increase minimum wage, destroy regulations…
This is concerning. If inflation & cost of living aren’t corrected & soon people will vote for Trump…
Let us hope so 😊
fixed? they want to destroy USA.
And yall wonder why MF’ers are shoplifting. We cant keep going on like this. Things have to change.
$12 for toaster strudels
WTH
$170 for groceries per week
Stocks looking juicy
good for those of us who are highly invested, bad for everyone else (at the moment).
Meanwhile our tax money is going to other countries smh
Tie the minimum wage to the inflation and close your mouth
It can’t be inflation while grocery stores are posting record profits. It’s plain old price gouging and greed.
Record profits and wages are normal in inflationary periods. The number in raw dollars increases creating this “record profit” narrative but it’s not really that meaningful because the purchasing power of those dollars is also decreasing all the time while operating expenses go up.
Crappy policies created this! Printing money and government overspending is to blame
when govt raises tax, increase minimum wage rapidly, increase regulations, creating shortage by demanding ev, create wars…
expect prices to go up
its all on govt. companies want to compete, govt is on way
@@marcuscook5145Who is receiving record breaking wages?🤔 CEOs?
I hate mean tweets so im voting blue
lol yup thats how these clowns think lol.
Meanwhile, all of our goverment leaders are millionairs based off 200k a year incomes. CEOs are making 10s of millions
The soft landing crowd is delusional. We’re either going to have persistent inflation or a recession depending on the path the fed takes. Even though it’s the most immediately painful, we really need the recession long term, likely a bad one. There’s far too much bad debt floating around in the economy.
Anytime they raise wages….they raise everything else, and it’s like your in the same position you were in before. The world revolves around MONEY AND POWER !!! Nuff Said !!!
Yet still sending money overseas
Gov spending is ridiculously high
Gov is to big
Government is the people. The money spent is ours. Don’t throw the (admittedly over-bloated) baby out with the bathwater. It’s time to take the government back from the billionaires and get that money spent on things we need.
Trump 2024
Biden… zillions of lies and billions of taxpayers money gone he was bribed and now inflation will sky rocket to the point of never seen before
It’s unbelievable what’s going on. We have completely incompetent leadership on every level. The government and fed created this problem. Along with a media that is nothing more than a propaganda machine and has lied about the extent of the real problems we have. Trust me the government and fed can not solve anything, everything they do ends in absolute disaster. Things are going to be getting much, much worst. America has become a powder keg, and it’s going to blow at some point
For people who took arithmetic and actually didn’t sleep while learning, 3.5 is the inflation index. It DOES NOT include fuel or food which are variable costs. And again, unless you slept through arithmetic then you know your food and fuel went up a heck of a lot more than 3.5%. Add in interest rates for loans, mortgages, cars etc. Yeah, so no one gives a crap about the stock market as the brainwashed ones keep talking about. Nor unemployment #’s, most of the new jobs are going to illegals, and people taking second jobs.
Soup and bread lines are coming
At least people will be full😂
This is insane get out the office please
Bidenomics!!! Build Back Broke
We haven’t stopped spending because credit card companies practically offer money to anyone
Yup & increases.
Don’t forget buy now pay later
inflation…ha ha….you mean price gouging
You don’t know what inflation is
when govt raises tax, increase minimum wage rapidly, increase regulations, creating shortage by demanding ev, create wars…
expect prices to go up
its all on govt. companies want to compete, govt is on way
GOOD THING IS STARTED WHEN BIDEN WAS ELECTED LOL
I’m sure inflation is up to 10%
I’m going to just start eating money instead…. it’s cheaper
Life was great and affordable when Trump was president.
I’m shocked NBC is covering this and not ignoring it like msnbc
What does the MS stand for? Microsoft? Or MasterSlave?
@@Latenightnonsense-td5yd MSNPC.
¿3.5 % ONLY????……., 😅😅😅😅
What a SHAM!!
It must be TWO DIGITS by now!😢😢😢😢
You voted for it ! Enjoy it. Your kids will not be able to afford a house or a car lol. Despite what they lie, houses are nearly TRIPLED in the past few years. They will have to choose between rent or food 🤣
I live in China, what does American politics have to do with what is going on with the rest of the world? Are you just a paid troll?
Didn’t our president just tweet that inflation was down just this morning? That we are in the right direction? Guess like everything else in this useless administration, they don’t know how to read economical reports….
Bidenomics is working! Meanwhile we keep handing out endless amounts of money to Ukraine.
I’m looking for some investing advice. I never seem to be able to discern patterns, alternatives always work against me, and I can’t make good use of scanners. I’m seeking for a simple, reproducible passive income approach that can supplement and eventually replace my wage income.
Seeking professional assistance while beginning to assemble your financial portfolio is a wise course of action. Getting professional advice is highly recommended because it might be fairly complex.
Restructuring your portfolio might be a wise decision if you seek guidance from financial consultants such as Robert Marion . He’s knowledgeable enough to assist you in making wise choices.
Yeah, it’s definitely a good idea to get some guidance from financial consultants like Robert Marion . He can help you make smart choices when it comes to restructuring your portfolio.
Without a doubt! My 29000 portfolio was spread across several markets in order to increase investment diversification.
That’s an impressive growth there. I put all my eggs in one basket– META– and I really benefitted. My FA has advised we diversify going forward. Talking about tweaking the parameters, some countries have low inflation but are still economically prosperous.
Whitehouse pres sec be like
“Well, if you hold the inflation graph upside-down, it actually looks really good”
Military spending is the biggest cost of the budget. And the US likes keeping bases in all corners of the world for humanitarian aid or conflicts, that’s the price to pay when u wanna police the world.
If u wanna blame the government blame all the tax breaks they gave to the monopolized companies, bailouts that the tax payer sees no return on. Common folk pays 18% – 25% on federal taxes, wanna know how much companies and millionaires pay (the majority) not even half of that.
No taxation without representation, but what do these bots care as long as everyone goes back to watching brain rot content.
mfw people forgot about the pandemic and shutdown its economic warfare as well as biological warfare from china.
“…well we havent stopped spending, so businesses will keep prices high”. I’m sorry i cant stop buying groceries to live, yeah its the consumers fault….
Well there telling the truth. Inflation will only come down when prices are so high we stop spending. In the meantime its a celebration for the big corporations and suppliers. The exchange for goods and services is what the problem is. (Cash money). There making money off of money they loaned out to everyone and treating every American like a subprime secured High interest credit card holder. Yall aint slick yall SICK. Flat out taking advantage of people cause you can.
So, I am making 10% off my investments quarterly and I am supposed to care about minor inflation? Let me clue you in. We have inflation because people with money are getting a lot more money. You cannot have people getting 30-40% annual investment returns and not have inflation. It just doesn’t happen. Prices are going to reflect what people with disposable money can afford. It is not going to reflect what people scraping by can afford.
Do something fast and big Joe! Your about to lose mine and others vote in Nov!
Kamala is going to have to change his depends by then.
“BIDENOMICS”
-Kamala Harris(woke)
So if we stop spending on a lot of stuff, doesn’t that put a lot of people out of work?
Probably, but you have to take care of your household first. If you care much about others, then keep spending.
Who keeps getting these raises that they can say wages have increased?!
If you believe it’s Joe Biden like this.
After every day msnbc says the economy has never been better. All you guys do is lie
“Way too expensive…!” Agreed! My family is feeling it for sure, and unemployment still looming.
The average cost of a home in 2017 was 125 Bitcoin. In 2022, 20 Bitcoin.
Maybe folks should be asking Biden for an explanation of inflation with his fiat system.
Get Biden out of office!
Inflation isn’t bad, some people just want to salvage every tiny 0.01% because it’s millions of dollars saved for them, at the expense of exports declining while imports become cheaper
Democrats believes more illegal immigrant labor and abortions for Americans will help America while giving millions more tax money to Ukraine
I’m equally shocked that nobody has blamed Trump for this (yet)
You cannot have a strong economy when you do not produce your own energy take a look at the facts its not possible.. Every item you buy is trucked in ..those trucks require fuel an fuel is 50% higher vs trumps days that’s goin to sting a bit. Obama did the same exact things he stopped producing energy an the economy tanked an never recovered until Trump took over and started producing our own energy this is common sense stuff duhhh
People WILL steal food and clothing and toiletries. Protests will start. Kids will be pulled out of mainstream schools and daycare. No one will file taxes.
Murica😂😂😂
Liar 😮
Depression not recession 😢
His handlers are really high, how can they make him say things are better when we all know the reality. Build back better was a disaster.
I’m so tired of just eating beans. And more beans until I think that I have turned into a bean.
Interest rates need to rise to fix this.
Passing Student Loan Debt onto those that did not create it.
Welcome to even more Inflation!
All these businesses are trying to make up for lost money during Covid🤷♂️🤡🌎🥳 quit buying crap you don’t need!
Americans can thank Democrats & RINOs $2 Trillion Deficit Spending Spree this year for Higher Inflation, this is why Speaker Johnson Betrayed The American People especially The Less Fortunate, Johnson should have NEVER given the Establishment aka Uniparty what they wanted & Defended the Less Fortunate instead. It’s Inhumane, Shameful, Cruel & Heartbreaking 💔 if you actually care that is
You heard the man, you’re in better situation than when he took office! Now shut up and be happy with nothing.
Gov. Needs to stop spending so much money!!!
Recession due to increasing inflation getting closer and closer perhaps recession would be here before we know it. Prices of everywhere and consumer goods seem going up no matter what.
We don’t see much any relief anytime soon.
😢
The markets a lie filled with fake money, it’s incredible our economy is standing
Don’t forget that as inflation increases, so do prices, so inflation is higher overall
Thanks for the inflation. “Best” president ever!!!! 😅😅
3:00 “Americans have more money to spend.” Who are these Americans they’re talking about? I know it’s not you, and it’s definitely not me!
I spent $50 the other day at the grocery store. What did I buy?
Eggs, yogurt, granola, and 2 cases of water bottles.
These prices are NEVER going to be back to where they were!! NEVER !!! That’s the reality people. The fed will NEVER cut rates aggressively enough to keep inflation back to where it was. This is the consequence of endless money printing. There is a price to pay for their actions and mistakes and we the consumers are paying for them from now on. All these stimulus checks and giveaways are actually not free. We are paying them back now. Wake up.
3.5% seems delusional. When Biden took office, fuel was $1.86 now $4.15, food up 40%, insurance up 30%, mortgages from 3% to 7.5%. That’s why I’m voting Biden 2024 for President of the new Banana Republic…
How can I grow my portfolio to outpace inflation and maintain a successful long-term strategy? I have been reading of investors making about $250k profit within a month during downturns, and I need ideas on how to achieve similar profits.
You’re right! The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit, but in order to execute such effective transactions, you must be a skilled practitioner.
I agree with you. This is what I do too. I’m not cut out for financial reports and industry news, so I use a wealth manager. Profits have been very consistent since 2021. i’ve pulled in roughly $1M in ROI since then
I’ve been thinking about switching but have been hesitant. Could you recommend your financial advisor? I’d appreciate some assistance.
*Jennifer Leigh Hickman* is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
I’m impressed with the recommended advisor’s prompt response and expertise. Their clarity and professionalism instilled confidence from the start. Excited to explore opportunities together!
I am so grateful to be single and no children. Three simple meals per day and keep it moving.
bidenomics
My request to US Citizens….. stop shopping! Time to boycott shopping where possible!
We should just get used to that higher prices are here to stay. Shooot tell that to families struggling to even get groceries.
Opt out.
Bitcoin ⚡️
Go to the grocery store sometime, inflation is more than 3.5%
Care less i own a hunter Biden original paint 🎨 auction private and yes averaging down cmcsa here’s Amen lets get yhat job done Shalom
Cmcsa is so much under valued.. i feey like im stealing from the color folks
MSNBC NBC same?.. who’s their parents
Why’s FCC website says you’re private.. order should i own cmcsa
Biden what a liar! Delusional destroying families across america 🇺🇸.
This is what happens when you don’t *own GUNS* , don’t take your *Constitution* seriously, keep allowing *BIG GOVERNMENT* to get *BIGGER* , keep voting for *DEMOCRATIC/LEFT POLICIES AND POLITICIANS* , keep allowing yourself to be *DISTRACTED* by *SOCIAL MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT* and keep *INDULGING* in *HEDONISM and DEGENERACY* instead of taking your life your local community, your state, your country *seriously*
Now you’re in struggle mode, and it will only get worse.
You had time to prepare, but you *fked around* , and now you’re going to *find out.*
_Good Luck._ 🤷
