US inflation rising under Republican rule, despite repeated promises to American voters!

“Starting on Day One,”

Trump said at a campaign event in August,

“we will end inflation and make America affordable again.”

CNN continued . . .

Wednesday was Day 24. Inflation is ticking higher. And Trump’s solutions consist of the same blunt tactics he holds up in the face of any economic headache: Do tariffs. Deport people. Drill baby drill. The irony is that many of these policies are likely to have the opposite effect.

David Goldman notes, the bad news is bad not just
because of what happened, but what’s happening! 

Inflation was falling steadily for two years. [under Biden]

Now, that slowdown is reversing course, and prices
are rising faster under Trump than they were at the
end of Biden’s term!!

Not good news

@Zeus4par

 Bad news and it's very likely going to get worse in this fascist regime. 

well , Joe was in charge 2/3 of the month , duh 

republicans said they wont pass a budget unless trumps tax cuts are permanent lmfaooooooooooooooooo.  Are these people all being supplied drugs by musk?  So much for balancing the budget by republicans. Not even 30 days in and they are worried about giving the rich more money. They are trying to bankrupt the country, so they can get rid of everything for the regular folks.  Every maga across the country are complete idiots for falling for trumps bullshit.  But hey keep cheering for the tidbits musk is finding, yeah the south african is here to help cause he cares so much about all of us, while hes robbing the register.  More tax cuts for the rich lmfaooooooooooooooooooooo.  Dont worry all those tax cuts for the rich will trickle down to the rest of us.  How can people keep falling for the same bullshit from republicans year after year?  They say they are going to help the regular folks if they are elected, then they get elected and go right to helping the rich.  We must have lots of brain dead people in our population, to fall for this scam over and over again.  Dont worry are resident magas here will post how the rich are over taxed and they deserve the cuts.  More brain dead folks.  Maga should be changed to brain dead party

with all the corrupt Government agencies wasting trillions of Dollars , predominately under the Obama / Biden regime i would be very quiet as a Dem , your party of traitors was, and is trying hard to bankrupt the USA 

no worries , this time we will follow the money and arrest each and everyone who is responsible , and received enormous kickbacks , Democrats , and Republicans 

The super rich want cuts to income taxes and government spending.  However polls show most Americans want the super rich to pay more taxes and more government spending on education, medicaid and other social programs.  In the US, hyper concentration of power and wealth has created a plutocracy where government is ruled by oligarchs and democracy doesn't work. 

Like clockwork a maga comes in to defend the real criminals giving more tax breaks to the rich, while they take it from the regular folks.  Yes of course democrats are the ones who wasted all the money, not republicans lmfaoooooooooooo.  Like i said magas are pretty much brain dead cult members that will go down in the history books as the group who ran the country into the ground.

You talk about all the waste, but hey lets add 4 more trillion to the debt, so the rich can get more tax cuts lolllll.  You couldnt see the forest if you were standing right in the middle of it.  Guys like you will defend trump and his criminals no matter what they do. 

Glad trumpy doing his work at his home in florida.  already been there 3 times in less then 30 days lollllll.  Each of those trips cost the tax payers huge bucks. But whos counting lolllll,.  Hes gonna run up the debt in 4 years just on his trips to florida alone.

Some posts here are so laughable.

Enjoy your weekend.

Tell us about the kickbacks.

Would be interested to know who other than Melendez & Justice Thomas took kickbacks.

@cd329

Not worried at all, cd....Afterall republican's much vaunted "trickledown economics" has proven its value time and time again to help all the middle income class and lower income class to be able to afford one more MacDonald's burger every year! GUARANTEED!!!

Those of us not among the priviledged WHITE republican class should be grateful for that...It should not matter how much they gorge themselves when they belly-up to the US taxpayer trough....all that matters is that they allow us to have "something" - even if only the equivalent to a Big Mac........so we must rejoice!

Afterall, that is what non-Democrats/MAGAS voted for...

National avg GAS PRICES inched upward again Tuesday...         

National avg GAS prices inched upward yet again Wednesday

Walmart warns of a slower 2025!

That’s a BAD sign for America’s economy, that could reverse the trend of the decent economy Biden left.

@fubah2

 My dear beloved Covas Brotha, things like the economy are going to get much worse. Everyone says it's SLOW..Fact..it will take time,  just give it some time

POTUS approval rating never been Higher..it's a terrible situation he is inheriting..but through 31 days,he's accomplished MORE than anything we could ever dreamed of.  ....

Now,  for  chief Lieutenant Musk. He is ENEMY #1...let's just see everything he Discovers..DOGE is uncovering 50-60 years of Government corruption.  

Who can't be on board with that concept...8.7 millions still receiving SS payments despite being 130 yo..WTF..this is GOVT inefficiency .at it's core..there's only 80k Americans still.alive over 100 

All of this is a Long time coming, sadly.

@Crusher13

 the SSA algorithm resets to 1875 with birthdate inaccuracies or non info on birth dates.  There was an audit done many years ago and this was noted but nothing has changed.  Now the underlying point most are missing or ignoring is there are way too many drawing off the SSA and that is the fraud of stolen identities and such IMHO
