Anthony Landaeta, 33, Minnesota"It feels like the price of everything is rising.Childcare costs are about $25,000 per year, which really surprised me. My parents might retire next year, which could help. It feels like Trump doesn't tell the truth about almost anything, so it's hard to know how the economy is actually doing. I'd grade him a 4 out of 10 for the economy, because he talks about it more than he actually does anything to help it."Jim Sullivan, 55, Indiana"I know inflation is down, allegedly down, but prices for all kinds of other things are super high, electricity, all kinds of things.There's so many things that he could be doing - that he is doing - but he's in so many places I think he just needs to focus in on a few things. He promised the economy would be the primary thing, but I don't know that it's completely been that."Devynn De Velasco, 22, Nebraska"My husband and I are honestly worried about an economic collapse.We've been saving a lot of money - thinking of buying a house - but we have that in the back of our mind that if there is some sort of problem, we do have a full safe.Politics and the economy are very much linked, so what our president does impacts the economy. So the threats to Greenland and Denmark and these remarks about Nato has made me quite anxious."Denise Demontagnac, 21, Maryland"One year post graduation, I have not been able to find a stable job which is extremely impacting my life and my family's life as well.It's not that I haven't applied for jobs. I've applied for jobs every single day. It's the fact that people are not hiring, partially because they cannot afford to hire.You look at interviews where Trump says 'Oh, the job market has never been better, we've created more jobs than have ever been created before'.As somebody who is actually going through that [market], I don't see the data, I don't see the proof."https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clygmmm1rnpo

A higher cost of living is actually good!">inflation goes down under Trump>"Oh my God we're doomed! Muh stock prices! Muh rent I'm charging people at! How will I justify increasing it now?!?"
>>1479548>>inflation goes down under TrumpOk but it isn't doing that.
>>1479550Trust the PLVN. We will see deflation SOON.
>>1479550What do you mean?The prices went up 25-30% under Biden, and have gone up 3% under Trump in the last year
>>1479557Inflation was 2.9% under Biden. 3% under Trump means he not only hasn't fixed it, but he's making it worse.
>>1479557BS. The numbers Trump provides are false. Same with job creation, its abysmal out there right now. Prices are up WAY more than 3%
>>1479560>Inflation was 2.9%lol. OK, faggot.

>>1479560>Inflation was 2.9% under Biden.LMAOROFLKEKAREYOUSERIOUS
>>1479567Wow gee it sounds like something really bad happened in 2021-2022. Like to do that and then come down the year after you'd need some kind of massive disruption to national and international shipping and jobs. A global disaster, maybe a pandemic even.
>>1479569>Please ignore how the last two inflation trackers only had 2 categories (gas and car parts) filled out
>>1479573how did covid cause inflation, exactly?
>>1479575>how did covid cause inflation, exactly?>People unable to work due to either being sick or quarantine>Massive disruption of international shipping>Multiple small businesses shutter due to the above and people going out lessLiterally in what scenario does a global pandemic NOT spike inflation?
>>1479576why did biden impair the economy so greatly for a disease with a 99.99% survival rate?
>>1479576it doesn't in this one because its very convenient for their foreign shilling if they can blame it all on Biden
>>1479574So now politifact isn't a reliable source? How convenient all of the sudden.
>>1479578He didn't. Trump did. He allowed something that could've easily been contained to blow out of proportion. He signed the bill that dumped an unprecedented amount of money into the economy (printer go brrrrrrrrrr) which caused the rapid inflation.The fed chair, which Trump appointed in his first term, managed to smooth out the inflation as best as he could. Yet Trump seems to hate the fed chair now, despite being the president that appointment him.
>>1479581the fed's balance sheet doubled under biden
>>1479580It's true they just don't mention it.>https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cpi.pdfWhere'd they go anon?
>>1479584countless children were raped while under Trump
What was the very first debate question between Trump and Biden during the first 2024 debate??Oh yeah! The skyrocketing groceries prices that happened from 2020 to 2024!
>>1479586The Epstein files were suppressed under Biden. He never released the files
>>1479595he did, however, sniff children
>>1479591>>1479595>>1479597But none of this covers the fact that Trump is doing worse than Biden
>>1479599Nah. Bidet was the worst thing since Jimmy Carter, Maybe even worse but Biden can't be redeemed by a wonderful personality wonderful personality.
>>1479599Yeah Trump is fucking everything up
>>1479599If you're a democrat, sure. To normal human beings everything is better. Cost of living is lower, gas prices are lower, gun restrictions are loosened, border crossings are almost non-existent, illegals are getting rounded up, and lefties are seething themselves to death. I've gotten everything I voted for and then some.
>>1479607>Cost of living is lowerIt demonstratably isn't.
How does it make sense for people to spend more than 30% of their income on babysitting for their toddlers? Public school doesn't cost $25,000/year.
>>1479615>How does it make sense for people to spend more than 30% of their income on babysitting for their toddlers?Thanks for exposing you've never had to get daycare. And also that you don't realize that 1. toddlers can't go to school yet, and 2. you need daycare because you typically can't bring your kid to your job and even non-single parent households are hitting the point where both partners need to work to afford rent.
>>1479599To be fair, everyone one of these yearly grocery cost increases are less than any one of bidens yearly grocery price increases during his term
>>1479617NTA, this is why families are important. Grandparents aren't going to charge anything to watch their grandchildren... but since you replaced family with the state... Sucks to be you I guess.
>>1479615Have you considered migrating here illegally? Aliens get that shit for free
>>1479627your family can't be that important esl shill, or you'd have a real job to boast about to them
>>1479622you keep trying to make this about Biden, but most people just saw Trump lying about making it better and instead making it much worse
>>1479631And continuing to lie about how its gotten better when in reality its gotten worse. Much worse. Wages are flat, everyone's in a hiring freeze, prices are up, spending is down. Trumps Recession is here
>All these price increases are because of trump>trump flowchart reaction is to blame everyone but trump and his policies. Classic.At least it's not as bad as the shills who are trying to gaslight people into thinking prices have gone down when OP debunks that.
>>1479622Accurate
>>1479629>esl shillStopped reading there.
esl shill is trying to pretend he doesn't get made fun of daily again
>>1479657How does it feel to be a turd worlder aka not-american?
>>1479657Stop, you're going to make him cry
>>1479535>Muh gas pricesDo you eat oil? Do you use diesel to care for your children? Do you use kerosene as collateral for your house?
>>1479635Forget the OP, fucking reality debunks that. Everyone knows prices are going up, they can fucking see it happening every time they buy anything.
>>1479664>Do you eat oil?How do you think food gets to the supermarket?>Do you use diesel to care for your children? Do your kids go to school?>Do you use kerosene as collateral for your house?Does your house/apartment use electricity? Like it or not, any modern civilization depends on oil to survive. Hence why the price of everything goes up when oil prices go up - and why Biden was such a fucking disaster (well one of many reasons) for our economy.
>>1479679Still pretty stupid to think everything is awesome in the economy cause gas prices dropped .15 cents. We're got a well acknowledged hiring freeze across the country, rising unemployment rate and the cost of living continues to climb.Meanwhile Trump is sending billions to Israel.... why?
>>1479679>Hence why the price of everything goes up when oil prices go upYeah meanwhile they're going up anyways because it's not the only fucking influence on prices. Things like say, increased cost of imports and decreased profit from exports also spike that shit.
>>1479738>and the cost of living continues to climb.And is still lower than it was under Biden, when every worthless dem fuck like Bill Maher was trying to tell us how great the economy is. You're going to have a bitch of a time telling me we're worse off now than we were in 2022 when food, gas, rent, and everything else was higher. >in before muh covid excuse for everything>Things like say, increased cost of imports and decreased profit from exports also spike that shit.At least these cut both ways and hurts the countries being tariffed as well - which is why even Biden kept the Chinese tariffs that Trump put in while trying to dismantle everything else he accomplished between 2016 - 2020.
>>1479748>You're going to have a bitch of a time telling me we're worse off now than we were in 2022 when food, gas, rent, and everything else was higher.Being better than fresh off a global pandemic is a very low bar to clear you fucking retard.>which is why even Biden kept the Chinese tariffs that Trump put in while trying to dismantle everything else he accomplished between 2016 - 2020.These aren't the Chinese tariffs. The Chinese tariffs were targeted instead of being blanket. Whoever was advising him at that time clearly got fired.
>>1479753>Gwobal PwandemicRetard
>>1479755>Uh it didn't happenUnless you were grown in a fucking lab and aged to be old enough to properly type, we all know you were there for it.
>>1479756See, look at how retarded you are.You don't even realize why you're retarded.Shame.
>>1479527Is every single post on /news/ going to be a blatant endorsement of the presidential blame cycle?
>>1479756>shuts down entire economy for years over a virus with a 99.99% survival rate""""""global pandemic""""""
>>1479768>Guys pay no attention to the impact it had on other countriesDo you think only the US got sick or something?
>>1479767Think of it as a safari where the shills roam free, saying faggoty things
>>1479753>Being better than fresh off a global pandemic is a very low bar to clear you fucking retard.>>in before muh covid excuse for everything
>>1479776I love how apparently one of the biggest disaster events of the fucking century is apparently literally nothing in your eyes.
>>1479777No apparently it's worth four years of excuses and totally absolves all the dumb shit Biden did. "Yeah he's a fucking retard who did X, Y, and Z... but muh pandemic so you should give him a pass!"
>>1479779You retards always point to literally either the height of Covid or the immediate aftermath as the height of Biden's fuckups when in reality he had no control over how much damage a fucking pandemic would do. When you look at how he performed once the aftereffects of the pandemic died down, it's fairly standard with some very narrow misses.
>>1479783And you retards will give Biden a pass for every terrible decision he made that had fuck-all to do with covid... but you won't do the same for Trump in 2020. Why is that?
>>1479783Much of the economic damage that happened during covid was caused by democrat policies and leftist policies abroad. Blue states remained locked down for years while Biden's fed kept the money printer brrring 24/7
>>1479788No, not really. But keep smoking that copium. Unemployment has increased among native-born Americans all year long as a result of Trumps policies.He's done nothing to curb rising prices, lies aboit issuing rebate checks and has cut SNAP and healthcare thats lots of Americans--yes even the white ones descendent from Northern Europeans--use to survive the rising costs. Fuck Trump and his team of Jews: Miller, Lutnick and Fink. They need a time-out in the furnace, their greed has gone far enough.
>>1479846>no not reallyNo argument detected. Take a look at the Fed's balance sheet under Biden and get back to me
>>1479847Take a look at the unemployment rate in Nov 2024 verse now and get back to me
>>1479852One thing has nothing to do with the other.
>>1479854Yes it does
>>1479861Demonstrate
>>1479846>No, not really.Yes, yes really. And notice how you dodged that question I asked. Why is it you can use the covid excuse for every fuckup of a decision made by Biden but you won't give the same grace to Trump in 2020?
>>1479777You have to forgive him, he was in homeschooling when it happened and didn't perceive a difference.
>>1479900>oooh anon what a massive hard cock you have! Let me suck on it some more! Mmmmmmm.
>>1479904Very clever
