This is a crazy thing to say. It’s ignoring that there is not a product out there — not one — that isn’t affected by high oil prices. The food you eat, the clothes you buy, your medicines and shoes and shampoos and gardening hoses and dog food and furniture and that flight to Florida you were planning to take on your next vacation. Your parents’ senior living facility, and the operating costs at your kid’s college. Prices on all of these things will be going up, and by a heck of a lot more than $1.12. |
Gas is not up 7 cent overnight and I.. Gasp! It has been 2 months. Before that, $28 to fill my tank, now $43 —- it is up $15. I fill about twice a week, so its been extra $120 per month. And I already brew my own coffee And my electric bill also high. And yesterday I was at grocery and stunned to see that medium size of Philadelphia whipped cream cheese is $7.99, i rarely buy, but thought last time was about $3.99. I am still waiting my tariff check. |

+1 record profits -- tax cuts + layoffs, now tariff refunds that the consumers will never see, and prices will never come back down to pre Trumpenomics level. I mean, my IRA is doing great, but what about young adults and retirees living on fixed incomes? I have both -- college aged kids and parents living on social security. What good does the stock market do for them if the cost of living keeps going up and people can't find jobs? |
+1 - former R who used to believe in "trickle down", but after 30 years in the private sector, I have seen corporations just enrich shareholders. |
