It's going to get worse. The Inflation Report was horrible today. Be ready for a bad Summer with gas and food prices. Home buying is at all times low too.

Yes, 8.6%. OUCH

But Joe says the economy is great, everything is wonderful and nothing is his fault.

Thanks to all who voted for a man who spent his campaign at home with scripted statements.

"I don't think it's a party problem, it's a Biden problem"

not a party problem...who do you think Biden is getting his marching orders from

it's called lobbyist (Democrat lobbyist) this is 100 percent a party problem

It's going get a lot worse the recession will happen because inflation is too high

either the feds will cause it by raising it's interest high enough or consumer confidence will dip so low that there won't be enough money circulating causing the economy to contract dipping the US right into a recession.

If Trump hadn't cut taxes and given out all them ppp loans we would likely already be in a recession and inflation would not have spiked. The government tried to skip the business cycle and look what happened we were already long over do for a recession which should have a happened on Trump's watch.

Cutting taxes, low interest loans, combined with printing all that money has put too much money in circulation into the economy which is why inflation is so high. Businesses are not hurting and taking losses like they should be so they can afford to hike the prices on everything. That is why there is so much work available when it shouldn't be.

Cutting taxes is where this inflation all started the economy was already booming that didn't need to happen. Biden policies have not helped but it definitely didn't start with him.

From what I've noticed, we seem to be headed for a recession.
In particular, many restaurants are struggling with only 50% capacity.
There are less people shopping at the supermarkets and in the nightclubs.
According to a Fox News survey 75% of those polled said that they were
cutting back on eating out.
And with the Fed increasing the interest rate, there won't being much business expansion.
Janet Yellen, doesn't seem to know what she's talking about.
She said she didn't expect a recession soon.
Last weekend, I've noticed a decease in freeway traffic in the downtown Los Angeles area.
I live in the SGV and gas is still under $6.
Can't wait to see what happens when gas goes to $8 along with higher diesel costs.
Nightlife will come to a hault. There will be few cars on the streets at night. It will be eerie

Almost everything you buy is moved by diesel. Around 7 a gallon and rising. Products need to cover the freight. Inflation will continue.

The gas prices in the US are now about parity with what the Europeans have been paying, this would be a positive unintended consequence if it results in more people adopting EVs.

Does anyone remember when Trump had the Saudies cut production by 25% or he would stop military aid!

Of course not.

Yeah the big bad Orange man got tough the Saudi's over military aid and got his way.

Nothing like our national hero Jobama who gave $85B in military assets to the Taliban as he bumbled his way out of Afghanistan.

Future oil pricing dropping to -40pb is a problem for the world market, not just the USA.

DTF….difference between Europe and the US….we are far more spread out and travel distances are far greater. Our people live in suburbs, not all crammed in big cities. If you only drive 200 miles in an entire month, not a huge deal to pay $7 a gallon.

They will stay up because Americans keep buying gas guzzlers. Best selling vehicle in my area is 18 mpg Tacoma. Check out the drivers on the road, the bigger the guzzler the faster they drive which lowers the fuel mileage more.

all u economist are so good. ha ha

If you have issues with gas prices and inflation you should not be playing with HX peeps.. Save your duckets.

There are cycles and some are more violent than others, we are a global economy so when there is instability in one or a few nations it will reverberate throughout the entire global system. Cheap money in previous years is partly responsible for the inflation we are experiencing today that along with geo political issues have hasten the inflation surge.

I am neutral to politics of both extreme right and left but my views do lean to a moderate right on fiscal issues, social issues I lean ever so slightly left.

Some of Trumps policies were fine but you know you would have to pay for them later on, on Biden, well i think there was more that could have done sooner to alleviate what we are going though.

I do not believe any conspiracies on either side but there is a bigger divide between the two and people of my ilk are either quiet or disappearing. Its sad to see..

Cash is not king now.. i did think it was last year, but i think time to act is soon.. 6/13/22. Opinions are like a-holes everyone has one so all that is posted should be analyzed and decisions made on your own personal assets/liabilities and tolerance not a blanket statement made.

In all, dont be bitter be happy in your life if you have much to complain about you should look as to why and do away with those issues... Anger/Bitterness is like holding on to a hot piece of coal with the intention to throw it at someone u disagree with, in then end u are the one that gets burnt first. (Adapted from Buddhist saying)

supply and demand right?
white house needs to find more supply which over time will lower the cost of gas and everything else.
hedge with higher interest which will have a negative effect on economy though... its gonna hurt for a while.
too bad our leaders didnt see the shit coming earlier - its not going to fare well in next elections.

Car & Driver just did a comparison test on 4 lux SUV's. Fuel "economy" ranged from 14 to 17mpg! And that is if they would be driven by following speed limits. So keep on wasting a non renewable resource so the Saudi's can roll in money. Their new golf associan LIV paid Mickleson $200 million to play and promote their tournaments. Blood money for sure.

In 2008, under repub/Bush admin, gas hit $4.11 a gallon. With adjustment that is higher than now! I gave up my last gas guzzler, 350Z, that year. My motorcycles get 40-60 mpg, and my electric car is free to charge in my city.

"Such mixed signals from this govt. Drill more oil wells or we will tax you, drill-less oil wells because of climate change," he wrote, quote tweeting the RNC.
