#Inflation #JulyFourth #IndependenceDay

I miss celebrating Independence Day when it meant something. Are they even allowed to teach it in school anymore? lol
What about propane ?
Your number of $69.68 that is up $10 from last year is 14.4% higher. While we're being told inflation is at 8.6% . Of course we all know that is a lie by almost 1/2. That method change to calculate inflation in 1983 is really working to lie to the American People. Neat trick to get votes still. No one will see it , and they'll still vote democrat. lol NOT.
11 of the top 12 states with the highest poverty rate are the Republican-led states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, West Virginia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas.
I wonder if this year the White House will Tweet how much more you are paying due to Biden administration's failures
This is no laughing matter. These desk jockies with smiles on their faces. Make sure for every one serious piece we need a fluff piece.

Mo Brooks, Matt Gates,Scott Perry,Louis Gohmert, Andy Biggs,Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, John Eastman admits guilt….all by asking for pardons!
Everyone knows, if you ask for or accept a pardon you are admitting guilt! A pardon is for a crime committed.
Trump willfully mounted the insurrection and violate conspiracy statute 18 U.S.C. § 371 of the criminal code. Trump also stole secret documents from the White House.

Loudermilk is a Trumpist Insurgent. He lead Trumpists into the Capital and then denied it.
Now you know what the future with Trumpism will continue to be like !! More mass shooting will happen if DOJ Garland doesnt arrest all top Trumpists.
No person is above the law! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.
since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos and mass shootings. Put an end to the evil Trumpist Republicans and support the good Republicans and good democrats.
MAGA Trumpists are ramping up their war machine to lie about their insurrection! Dont believe the lies!
.
We need to support a federal law mandating prison time for each lie told by an elected official.

More Very Disturbing Trends –
1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE…that is what their Union will fight for during investigations and trials.
2 Law enforcement cant be prosecuted for Not doing their jobs
3 Law enforcement can legally lie unless they are under oath at that moment
4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always
5 Law enforcement has qualified immunity, which makes it very difficult to prosecute them
Texas Shooting Coverup …..over 18 armed evil trumpist c o p s had over 11,000 live rounds of ammo and they waited. and waited…..while people were being killed. it took the border patrol to take out the shooter…. how sad is that?
nothing will happen to these evil trumpist people unless the locals keep up the pressure and the cops and politicians involved leave!

The poverty rate is going UP thanks to Biden Gas Hikes & Democrats created INFLATION & avg rent price has gone UP 15 months straight yet Democrats are too busy with J6 to them it's way more important than people's suffering
We can all thank Joe Biden for this glorious inflation and high gas prices.

Biden's America
What, to the American slave (SO CALLED AFRICAN AMERICAN) , is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sound of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants brass fronted impudence; your shout of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanks-givings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy — a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour.
I ditched my gas burner over a year ago, so I really don't care what gas prices are. I went from paying an average of $300 a month for gas to paying an average of $50 a month for electricity.
Hey MSNBC, stream Jon Voight's video. We want to see it.
Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.
So much for the 16 cents he bragged about saving us last year on hot dogs
I don’t know what imaginary world this data is being pulled from, but $70 to feed 10 people at a 4th of July cookout is WAY underestimated.
I didn't vote for this. America was far better under Trump.
🎥 BIDEN: “The Train Wreck”
I have NO respect for anyone from The Liberal Circus AKA NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CNN. These people refuse to honestly report just how bad America has become under Biden. They go out of their way to make up crap about President Trump in hope of pushing their agenda, they show edited sound bites, they think America actually cares about Jan 6 hearings, Supreme Court decisions and all the other nonsense they talk about, while trying to paint a picture, of how good were doing under this administration. I think the 1% likes says it all! Happy Fourth I hope we all have the best weekend possible!
In 1980 the democrats under Carter change the way the US calculated inflation in order to look better for the upcoming presidential election. They took out food and fuel, the two most volatile items in the index, at that point inflation was 14.8%. In 2022 if we add those items back in, current inflation is 20.6%. In the presidential debates Reagan coined a phrase, the misery index. Saying a president or a party with that high a misery index referring to inflation, had no right to remain in power. Given this, do you feel the democrats have earn the right to stay in power?
everyone is hiding trust me no money
the severity of the condition of our economic circumstances is beyond many peoples comprehension and many continue to deny its existence.
how in god's name do you all afford kids?

I am not travelling as I just went back from San Francisco last weekend.
Gas prices have risen all over the world not just in America.
Go protest outside the homes of US Oil company CEOs until they lower gas prices.
Ask Giuliani to provide the personal address of the ExxonMobil CEO and his family members and then advertise it to all on social media.
So sad to see how Joe Biden has destroyed our economy
Americans know what is coming hence the stupid spending!!!!
THE US of "ALL LIES" is gambling on the ROYAL FLUSH HAND e.g. that the worker bees of America will do as it applies as follows:
A:. People will get a second job. or third job. if your already working, and all those the joined
K: . the "greAT RESIGNATION" people will go back to work… and
Q . people the have since retired will need to go to work to get to "0".
J: . People that have retired will come out of retirement
10: People that wanted to retire will wait…
i worry more about michael burry tweet about fed pigeon credibility on not following thru with QT which suppose to have started on 6/1/2022. if fed pigeon cant follow thru QT, then fed pigeon rate hike is just pigeon jawbone. long out of control inflation or worse stagflation.
Man, Neo-Liberalism is such a fail
Biden Reckless Spending and Biden Inflation.
Next time you stop for gas or hamburger, take a moment to thank Old Joe!! LGB
Today, who' and/or what is responsible for inflation in America?
Remember to thank your fellow American who voted for Biden for high gas and food prices never vote for democrat again we were gas independent under Trump Biden is puppet of the green new deal from AOC. Strengthen voter integrity no to voter fraud. God is aware of the democrats and Biden abuse against the poor middle class of this country, shame on them No this is still Biden’s fault and policy misjudgments he needs to say we need energy independent make sure oil companies can get permits no roadblocks, lng exploits, allow anwar, build pipelines not just keystone double down on American energy If you want high gas and food price and a pessimistic future vote for AOC and Biden. But if you want lower gas prices and a bright future vote for republican Tina Forte for New York district 14 2022 race.
putin or trump xaused this or could be sleepy joe commiela maybe nasty pelosi?
Reminder that trying to pass blame to Putin doesn't hold water, since he was only able to get away with invading Ukraine because Biden surrendered the US' dominant energy position his first week in office. This is Joe's fault.
80% of all dollars in existence were printed after 2020. More inflation to come.
Every trip even short errands, now has to be considered based on cost…
If I had to guess I think the amount of fireworks going of in our neighborhood is down atleast by half this year as appose to most
Thanks to all the nuts that voted 4 him
You cannot blame Trump you cannot blame Putin this is all democratic policy.. Created by grandpa Joe..
