Some folks on here really need to learn how count their money. No matter how you try to spin it everything costs 20% more. Now you know why economics and business is not taught in high school anymore. Along with shop and home economics. Consumer economics was probably the most interesting class I took in 1972. I was not aware they didn't teach it any longer. They really should.

I've lived through 25 administrations who were faced with economic challenges and change as have many of those posting here. Markets have gone up and down, we've lived through several recessions as well as several economic booms and find it ironic that the discussions regarding the economy are based on what happened today. Our political parties agree on nothing, and spending is considered as positive or negative based on party loyalty. Until we as the electorate start considering our future based on plans being offered to address important issues we will continue to agree to disagree and accomplish nothing. No compromise means no progress. Big money is laughing at us. They are playing on a different level.

Without revolution or collapse, nothing will ever change. Expect a major war soon to hide the failed policies that lead us here.

I like to keep things simple. When I go to the grocery store and spend $200 plus my cart is only 1/2 to 2/3rds full. Ask me how full it was 5 years ago. I think most people keep it simple and see the same thing.

Speaking of "economic perception", Trump Media has had to restate its' numbers again.
After the company's 2nd "auditor" was found to be a hustle, more numbers were crunched.
The price of Trump's "Truth Social" stock took a 6% hit.
( It could go downhill from there. )
Here's a video that quotes the disclosure documents submitted with the "Truth Social" prospectus.
The document is a history of damning disasters that Trump's enablers have swore are true.
Don't blame the list ... it hasn't been edited by "radical Leftists".
It's the official list of Trumpian blunders ... so many I'd forgotten a few.
Jump forward to 9:40 and read along with the text on the screen.
The entire bit lasts three minutes, until 12:40 Enjoy!

Not making an excuse, prices go up. unlike many of you i remember the late 70s and early 80s when 6% was considered low. Even during the 90s and up to the 2009 recession 3% to 4% were the norm. Since the recession, inflation had been unusually low and you seem to think it will last forever or Trump will bring it back. Trump wasn't responsible for it the last time. 2022 was a hiccup with very high inflation. It was bound to happen thanks to Trump's and Biden's cash incentives putting a lot of cash in consumer's hands and manufacturing not up to speed to handle the demand due to Covid. I expect 3% will be the new average for a while unless we have a recession no matter who wins in November. I am just dealing with reality, not the fantasy world some of you live in.

You asked me to prove it?? You just did. 😁 In the 70’s food, fuel and rent were counted in the inflation index. Not no more. And remember, all though inflation was high our money was worth more and had better velocity. We were not trillions in debt. No one even used the word except astronomers.

Food, fuel and rent are still included in the CPI. You don't know what you're talking about.

In my years of participating on internet forums two things are certain...some people live to argue..... others just like to say dumb things on the internet. Some do both!!!!!
