Why do I keep imagining the word "sucks" whenever I ready the title of this thread? It just goes so well together, nothing more needs to be said

Just stop. |
Nothing to see here people... all is well!

| A 10 cent increase in tomato soup is having amazingly no effect on me. I have more money left at the end of each month than any previous year. Even with inflation, I’m still spending less on travel, restaurants, commuting costs, etc. than before the Pandemic. Sorry to disappoint you. |
What the heck happened between 2005-08, your soup can almost doubled in price and I don’t remember much inflation talk? Makes the .10c rise look like nothing…..which it is. |
Well, that's just great! Sounds like you have a steady, reliable income. Not everyone leads such a charmed life. In November, we'll see if most voters feel as happy about the economy as you do |
| GDP growth rate Q1 2022 second estimate came out today at -1.5%, worse than the pprevious estimate of 6.9% and estimate at -1.3%. Nothing to see here as our economy continues to decline. Thanks Joe! |
Considering that gdp isn’t adjusted for inflation it’s horrible. With high inflation the economy can grow in dollars but be stable in number and amount of activity. -1.5 means it cratered. |

https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/analysis?ID=11CBFC43-AB92-4834-AE86-35B5DE9AECB7 Prices increased 10.5 percent from January 2021 to April 2022, costing the average American household $569 last month alone. Even if prices stop increasing altogether, the inflation that has already occurred will cost the Average American household $6,829 over the next 12 months. |

When I paid 4.99/gallon for gas this weekend, i didn't need to see a chart, hear from news media sources, or cheer for anyone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling the effects of Biden's policies on my finances. |

Record low unemployment in 17 states per the WSJ. Jobs are plentiful. Record deficit reduction, whatever happened to that talking point from a year ago where the deficit was leading us to a recession….I guess they were wrong. |
