re: Who thinks that groceries and crap from Lowes will be cheaper when Trump's elected?

Again, you need to go back and look at the graph. Whose the moron now?

I said it was one cent cheaper in one year. That is a fact. It is not my fault you aren’t smart enough to grasp that fact.

Trump’s average is also well below Obama’s. You are still and will always be a moron.

worries about the 'debt' later and declares bankruptcy. That is Trump's mantra.

You dumb idiot. Ask any billionaire there is how many of their ventures fail? Every single one of them has failed ventures. He is still a billionaire. Trying to make fun of a business failing is idiotic. Do you know how many of his ventures have been successful.

It is clear you have never had a single venture or business. You would know what a dumb argument you are making if you had.

Well yeah one was in office for 4 years and one 8

Pick 4 consecutive years and do the math. Moron.

Why consecutive?

Trump had consecutive years, right? If you want apples to apples pick 4 consecutive. Your dumb “argument” doesn’t work if you do…

The facts simply do not care about your feelings on this.

Your lack of self awareness is staggering. Moron.

Trump is a big spender, so it's not like we won't still be printing a bunch of money.

---

Trump has often said he wants to devalue the dollar. When the FED raised rates during his presidency he railed against them. He thinks the dollar is too strong, and wants it weaker. You accomplish that by printing more. Trump is going to spend at least as much as Biden spends, and probably more.

quote:

---

There is very little to no difference when it comes to Biden and Trump with regards to spending

Ok. Is it your contention that spending is the only driver of the economy?

Trump winning in 2024 isn't going to change a thing as far as prices go

guess so….

Obama took oil from the reserves

With gasoline prices causing unrest among voters, President Obama is considering tapping America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This purely political move would cause more harm than good—including costing American taxpayers $1.5 billion dollars.

Gasoline prices have surged 42 cents a gallon in the first two months of 2012, setting new records for the most expensive January and February ever at the pump. Americans now pay an average of $3.72 for one gallon of regular gasoline1, a 101 percent increase since President Obama took office.

When faced with voter anger over similar prices last June, President Obama sold more than 30 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) – a pool created for use only in emergencies to safeguard the U.S. economy and national security against severe supply disruptions. The SPR had sold oil twice before in response to supply emergencies. President Obama’s sale of reserve oil was for strictly political reasons

quote:

Looking at that chart Trump inherited low gas prices from Obama and then never got them lower they were higher under Trump's whole term than Obama's last two years.

---

Unfortunately, you have to take the good with the bad. Trump was amazingly consistent.

Given that, tell me what policies Obama implemented that were price friendly?

Remember, he bragged about prices going up in 2012. Prices were $1.85 when he took office and they were $3.59 in mid-2012. Obama's take? He was PROUD of the "gradual adjustment" in gas prices. He WANTED the prices to be high in order to make EVs, solar panels, and wind energy a more attactive alternative than oil. So why are you even arguing? YOU SHOULD BE UPSET THAT PRICES WEREN'T HIGHER THAN THEY WERE.

That's the real position you liberals support. If you were being truthful, you would be promoting higher gas prices as a good thing and a segue into a new green economy. C'mon, man up and quit trying to hide your intentions.
