Inflation jacking prices up

[user 53891]

I feel your pain! our so called leader gave out a lot of checks and gloated at how nice and generous he was? He then jacked up gas, food, clothes ect. prices to cover his costly mistake. He had to jump on the oil industry? What a fool! He then bragged at how he lowered gas prices by going into our reserves which we may need if a war happens. this is just another idiotic move on his part. Gas prices are still over double what they were under our last potus? I know there are some people that can't think for themselves and bow down to the lying news media believing every word they say is gospel? How sad, these are the people that will allow us to fall futher into decline and disgrace. We will eventually be just like Russia and China! This is the goal of some very influential people.

I agree! That old commie fool also sold 6 million barrels of oil to China....hmmm.....sounds to me like a payoff.

You just described your buddy! Sorry, I can't bother wasting my time or breath on foolishness like you.

Thank you. And I have no more time to waste on you.

Well folks, you now have a perfect example of why this Country is going down the tubes to Communism so fast today!! Grenadier1758! PERIOD!! BTW: I am through wasting my time on him.

Ranchers having to cut their herd size or farmers having to let their crops go fallow because climate change is drying up their sources of water for feed to the cattle and water to grow crops. This has been happening for some time now. And we had 4 years of inaction on climate change and 4 years of inaction for alternate energy sources to reduce our dependance on gasoline which leads to increased prices. @LME is correct and we will have to work together to solve these problems.

We may have had 4 years of inaction by the federal government but we, as a country continued to reduce carbon emissions. Is a response from the public and industry not count unless it’s prompted by a mandate? The problem, if you buy everything climate warming cultists are selling, is not that the US and European countries aren’t doing enough to combat climate change, it’s that the worst offenders are doing nothing at all and often increasing carbon emissions.

There are two sides to the climate change debate. Unfortunately, only one side is/has been allowed to release their findings. The opposing side has been silenced…pitty that.

I agree. Problem is, Government paid scientists, and Government paid college/university scientists, will lie to what ever the Party in charge wants them to say! If you hear what real scientists have to say, that have no connection to a certain PARTY(DNC), the show they lies of the LEFT!

Say what you want about past and present presidents, but look at it like this the country was on a good recovery 2 years ago, all it took was two years for a idiot to run us into the ground and make the country look like a weak nation to the rest of the world. Did not have no problem finding caps for instance two years ago. Winters coming all I need to do is lay in two more cord of wood, the freezer is stocked, the ammo and B.P. supplies are laid in, and the a## holes in the big cities are suffering. LIFE IS GOOD here on the back forty.

Well said my friend.

The challenge to any real patriot is to look at both sides of the coin in order to know where you truly stand. Do you really know the "enemy"? Is it just the second amendment that drives us? What about other rights? What does our political party platform say and how can it be changed to more equitably represent us? I challenge all to watch the other networks, alternating between your favorite and the opposing ones every day for two weeks. Challenge your belief on both large and small scales. It is not easy, it is not comfortable but as an American in a democracy it is totally necessary (imho).

Prices, especially prices of ammunition, are far ahead of inflation. Today the local Academy store had #11 caps for $10.99 and Winchester Triple Seven primers for $19.99. Look at the price of the new 8 ounce can of BH 209 powder.

i recently paid $40 for a 1bs of fffg powder at my gun shop. so yeah I might be making my own powder soon

This is one thing that too many people get wrong. This is not a Democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic.
The United States is not a democracy — and it wasn’t meant to be one
America Is a Republic, Not a Democracy

I think many consider us to be a democratic republic, our elected representatives being democratically elected.

The President is not democratically elected. He can win with a majority of electoral college votes. As a Federal constitution allows. This gives even the minority a say in that particular election. It also eliminates overpopulated cities from running the Country, as it should be. As a matter of fact, all elections, Federal, State, and Local should similar to this form of election.

This particular friend on the Biden side sees plenty wrong in the actions he takes and what he is doing. However, compared to everything that was done wrong that set us up for plenty to go wrong now Biden I'd rather have the mistakes from Biden than have a president that thinks like a dictator who tried to start a coup to overturn a free and fair election.

Open borders, runaway inflation, untold amounts of drugs coming across the border killing our children, crime is rampant. Gas prices higher than ever. Climate change the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the people of the world. One hell of an improvement! But thank God for no more mean tweets.

There seems to be an awful lot of things going on around the world and much of it tied to agriculture. Farm land where I live is now more valuable as a field of solar panels than crops. Fewer dairy farmers in the area, Midwest is the same with loss of farms.

Issues with beef and pork and chicken.

There was a saying about how to destabilize a country - destroy the people's trust in their government. A better way, starve them. We are well on our way with the trust issue. Food shortages that make the covid grocery store shelves look well stocked, will send things off the cliff in any country. Except maybe china or North Korea where they simply make you disappear for complaining.

But don't worry, I'm sure Bill Gates is buying up all the farmland for a reason.

I've been doing this for years. My conclusion - Republicans scare me, Democrats terrify me. What's left when all is corrupt and broken?

Bill Gates and the Chinese have been buying up massive acreage of farmland. You are correct. And those that support and voted the current regime in so that they could get everything for free without working are going to get their wish! Only their free wish is going to be a free trip to starvation.

I would love to chime in on this discussion, but I am the dumbest guy on this forum. Can you believe I had the idea to work hard all my working years and save as much as possible. And then the interest from CD's would help support my retirement income. With interest rates being at such low levels for the past 15 years ( lowest in US History ) to promote a false economy, well that was one stupid idea.

I agree! Welfare or being a politician would have been a brighter idea, actually one and the same.
