Of course they include food. Besides, including food would make inflation numbers LESS. Most food prices (grocery, not takeout) are back to pre-pandemic levels (at least in my grocery stores). I’m paying the same prices for meat, fruit, and milk that I did 5 years ago. Coke and Pepsi went way up, so I switched to RC. Somehow, RC’s cost of water and corn syrup didn’t go up, but Coke and Pepsi’s did !!??
Please cite the “correct” stats that contradict my “lies” in the 1st 2 paragraphs. The last paragraph, admittedly, is partisan and somewhat alarmist. (Trump might turn out to be swell benevolent statesman who loves everyone in the whole world more than he loves himself in his 2nd term.)
Health care costs have been high for a lot longer than 3 years, but sure, let’s blame Biden. Wages have outpaced inflation. Gas is the same price (inflation-adjusted) as it was in the 50’s. Half the people think the economy is shrinking. (It’s not.) Half the people think unemployment is at all-time high. (It’s near an all-time low.)
“Mental patients and criminals are storming the border.” (The crime rate is higher among citizens than it is among illegals.)
But when the Orangutan Cult and the Fox arm of the GOP shout lies often enough and loud enough, a lot people believe them. And since the Dems can’t get the ghost of Joe Biden to drop out, all bow to Fuehrer Trump, Prince of Immunity.
I’m American. I gave you your Like back. Adjusting for inflation, gas costs about the same now as it did in the Glory Days of the 1950’s. We have it so good that we have to complain about something.
If you believe that the instant sperm meets egg it’s magically infused with some eternal soul, of course you’d consider that “life” and would want to protect it and punish those who “kill” it. That only makes sense.
What the pro-lifers fail to realize is that this belief is a religious belief and that forcing that belief on everyone else goes against the 1st amendment. They don’t care because their cause is “righteous”. No amount of logic or constitutional education will ever persuade them otherwise.
Stop repeating the lie that “they’re coming for your guns”. They’re not. The top of the ticket are gun owners ferchristsake.
