Tariffs only make it worse.

This is why the national debt matters
Inflation during covid was intentional. Its how they dilute the debt… and in effect, anyone holding dollars paid for it.
A silent tax.

Frivolous lawsuits.

Cellular communications.
Eating out.

Matt is right

This is one of the things that I keep preaching. Defending the status quo doesn’t work when the status quo is currently failing so many millions of people. They need change, and they’re going to vote for someone who promises change. If conservatives don’t offer positive changes to the status quo that will help these people, they will vote for the progressives because they at least acknowledge that there is a problem. Saying no to bad ideas isn’t enough. You have to also have good ideas yourself to advocate for.

Initial pandemic disruptions caused food prices to rise, with 2021 seeing a 4.7% overall inflation rate.
2022: Food prices spiked 9.9%, the highest increase since 1979, driven by the Russia-Ukraine war and energy costs. Food-at-home (grocery) prices surged 11.4%.
2023: Inflation began to cool but remained high; food-at-home increased 5.0% and food-away-from-home (restaurants) rose 7.1%.
2024: Food price inflation slowed to an average of 2.3%.
2025: Food-at-home prices grew 2.3%.
2026 (June YOY): Food prices increased 3.0% over the previous 12 months, with food-at-home up 2.7%
so since 2024 food has its normal inflation increases

Trump lit the fire with COVID money, Biden poured gas on it.
I can't speak to tariffs, though I look forward to wackatimesthree battling the enthusiasts.

Don’t worry brothers! Marco Rubio fixes this! Trust the process.

I agree with Matt.
But when retards get in here complaining about the price of premium gas we cross into retard land.

He is. It was also a giant issue under Biden/Kamala. Do you disagree?

Two major reasons for inflation.
1. The government spending double what they bring in and printing the rest to make up the difference. We do the is every year and every dollar printed makes the already printed dollars worth less.
2. Immigration. In 1990 we had 250 million people in America in 2024 we had 350 million. The extra 100 million came from immigration not Americans having babies. This is a large part in the increase in housing cost. We added 100 million people and they all need a place to live.
