Based on your political posts I can't come to any other conclusion. i.e. you celebrate our athletes bashing America. That's certainly not patriotic or conservative.

How hard you work or how you live doesn't have any bearing on it. There's plenty of hard-working, successful people that support politics that seeks to tax and regulate everything they've worked for away from them. Doesn't make any sense to me, but it's a free country.

And as I said before, if you put your political opinions out there, be prepared for some pushback, and be willing to defend them.

It's also interesting that being labeled a leftist offends you so. I'm not offended if someone calls me a right-wing conservative. If your political views aren't left, post a different opinion once in a while. Otherwise, embrace your true self. 😉
VERY well said.
 
I haven't had to shop for a new vehicle since 2019 when I bought my truck (leftover 2018). I thought prices were pretty high then. I'm afraid to go shopping again.

Why it’s becoming so expensive to buy a car in America - BIDEN


Forgetful on purpose.

Inflation rose significantly during President Biden's term, with consumer prices increasing by a cumulative total of approximately 19% to over 20% between January 2021 and early 2025.

Key details regarding inflation during this period include:
  • Peak Rates: Annual inflation reached a 40-year high of 9.1% in June 2022 before moderating.
  • Cumulative Impact: By the end of his term (January 2025), prices had risen 21.5% compared to when he took office in January 2021.
  • Sector-Specific Increases: Housing costs increased by 17.7%, and energy prices saw sharp spikes, with gasoline and fuel oil costs rising significantly.
  • Causes: Factors contributing to the inflation surge included post-pandemic supply chain disruptions, strong consumer demand, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.
  • Wages vs. Prices: While wages grew by 19.9% over the four-year period, they were outpaced by the 21.5% rise in prices, resulting in a slight decline in real wages.
When Biden took office in January 2021, the annual inflation rate was 1.4%, which then accelerated to over 9% by June 2022.
