I went to the grocery store last weekend and bought my normal groceries, didn't really pay attention to the prices because it was a normal grocery run and in my head I knew how much it would cost. Let me tell you how surprised I was when my groceries totaled, and I paid almost doubled from a month ago.

I don't care what the inflation numbers say because my grocery bills have doubled.

Pathetic lies.

Fact 1. KXL wasn't about producing gasoline, it was for refining tar sands oil (bitumen/heavy crude) for export. That kind of oil isn't used for producing gasoline, instead light sweet crude is, and KXL would have minimal impact on gas prices.

Fact 2. Domestic oil production rose to an all time high under Biden, higher even than any of the four years of Trump's first term in office.

These are both provable documented facts.

Tell us, did you hear these lies from some source you trust? If so, you need to ditch that source because it is spreading falsehoods. Or, did you come here thinking you could spread your own lies, insult our intelligence, and not be caught and called out for it? Because that obviously doesn't work for you, either. Do better.

Partially correct. Putin ended Covid when he liberated the Donbass and it became the new "current thing."

Killing it has zero impact on gas prices then or now.

that said, the US was a net energy producer and a net energy exporter under Biden, something that hadn't happened in decades, so what bis your complaint exactly?

+1

Stock market will be record highs by the midterms

Economy will be roaring and inflation beaten

War in Ukraine will be over

The left will be furious.

Insurance, particularly natural disaster insurance for homes, is going to skyrocket in the coming years.

Traveling is cheaper now because lots of foreigners don't want to come to the US, but also domestically, people are still wary of the economy.

But basic living expenses are still up: food, insurance, medical care..

the only thing Trump has done so far to lower gas prices is cause an economic slow down. If you actually believe that Trump opening public lands in February for exploitation leads to lower energy prices today, I really don't know what to tell you.

It isn't all good news.

"However, economists warn it’s not a matter of if, but when, tariffs levied by President Donald Trump start to reignite inflation, at a time when it has nearly been tamed from pandemic-era highs.

“It felt like we could just about declare victory on putting inflation back in the bottle, and it’s back out again,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s.

He expects tariffs to start noticeably impacting inflation in the May CPI report issued next month.

“Soak this report in,” Zandi said. “It’ll be a while before we get another good one.”""

You mean the minor residual after effects of Biden rescuing the US economy from two diseases, COVID and Trump? The egg prices caused by a number of things out of Biden’s control that will continue to get worse because Donnie sucks at math and reading and the administration is sweeping bird flu outbreaks under the rug?

I sure do miss having a good economy run by adults.

Operation Warp Speed was developed by Trump and the whole reasons cities like DC are still recovering from Covid is because the excessive lockdowns and work from home policies championed by Dems wrecked their economies and they’re still feeling the pain.

Lock downs and work from home policies did not damage the economy or cause inflation. Trillions of Covid rescue dollars being pumped into the economy by Trump and Biden in a short period of time along with the very cheap cost of borrowing money contributed to the out of control inflation. If you want to point fingers, point them at Trump and Biden and the idiots who elected them along with the Fed Reserve for keeping rates too low for too long.

If this were true, then inflation and recovery in the US would have been worse than the other countries that did not do this. In fact, the opposite is true, which is why the US Economy was the envy of the world when Biden left office. The inflation was caused by the massive disruptions in the supply chains and then the economic shock to get things restarted.

Tell us you know nothing about the American economy without telling us you know nothing about the American economy. Trump 1st term and Biden were neither really good or really bad for the economy. Just about any POTUS would have handed out trillions of dollars during Covid, even to the majority who didn't need the supplemental cash. Our economy would be similar to where it is today with or without Trump and Biden. Their unfitness for office is why they have no business in The White House.

Biden killed the Keystone Pipeline on day 1, and went on a mission to further restrict energy development, to cheers from Democrats. Then as prices went sky-high, he drained the petroleum reserve, and Democrats pretended to be happy about lower prices and that Biden wasn't restricting anything.

Trump came in and expanded development, leading to lower energy prices. This will produce lower prices as these price drops kick in.

Since 2021, I wonder what was different then...

As Trump said, first quarter results are from Biden’s economy!
