I watch women on the tube who shop box stores. They show the worlds ugliest clothes at prices over $25 and up. And I cringe when one shows some item and says ONLY $5. NO! NOT ONLY! As long as you are idiots and go along with ONLY, prices will keep going up not down! Boycott. Never buy new when used will do.
And follow the depression saying...use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.
I pay more for gasoline, food, and goods than I was four years ago.
Actually yes. Along with many other people. Because 4 years ago was a pretty bad place to be, and 3 years ago, and 2 years still had a few issues. Finally the powers that be decided the pandemic had ended.
Am I paying the same for things that I did 4 years ago? No. Between the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, prices have gone up up up up up
Am I paying the same for things that I did 10 years ago? NO. 20 years ago? NO. Somebody should do something! 50 years ago houses and cars were a fraction of the price, and a breadwinner would think current salaries were lottery wins!
Do I think things will magically revert to what they were if your carnival barker gets back into the White House?
I shouldn't laugh. If you believe he'll make everything in your life come right, and maybe even personally find you a nice rich woman who will adore you, because he can do anything, then I'm sure you're right.

That past four years have caused problems everywhere and now with ongoing conflicts across the World prices will rise even more.
The change in our weather has also made a huge difference to prices as Spain itself has suffered drought which has affected the economy with regards to crop growing and prices.We on the other hand have suffered floods which have ruined the farmer's crops.
How people can think that one man will be the World's saviour is beyond comprehension ,although they could ask him for a loan I guess.Wonder what his rates are
Yes. Boycott. That's the only thing that would work. Perhaps you remember the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Every 60-ish American should. Anybody who thinks T-Rump would support this may as well punt and buy one of his damned Bibles.

I've been around a hell of a lot longer than you and watched them come and go but none so controversial as Trump.
I was a child when Truman ,after 2 weeks in the White House and much pressure,ordered the atomic bomb attack on Japan. What was Oppenheimer's response "I have blood on my hands"
Look back at your past and you will see so much corruption within the White House.Do you honestly believe that the charges piled up against Trump are all false just to keep him out of the White House
Your choice will never "make America great again" especially the rantings that are taking place at this moment in time .No country for old men as they say and what person would threaten violence once again from his supporters if he loses.
That's a "gun to the head speech" if ever I've heard one.
I have seen two great men in my lifetime make such a huge difference with the change my country wanted and needed fir the better.
I have also seen three other president's run my country into the ground while on office. I have lived through it here and witnessed it.

Frankly I find it quite ludicrous that anyone would want someone in their late seventies to run a country the size of America especially after all the latest unintelligible rants he has made of late .
at best, been able to tighten their belts. and manage to squeak slightly ahead.
401 and any other investments are extremely volatile. any loss is still a loss no matter what gains people might luck out with. it's the same with money spent.
costs of living up in ALL aspects. it's not the changing times any where near as much as it is bad policies.
trump 2024. we need those policies back. and if people have truly learned any thing from 2009 to present, keep the demonrats out to minimal at best.
russia, china, terrorism, and illegal immigrants, seem to be the only ones that do better. no funds for the nation, border security, and citizens, but seem to have plenty for every one else.
global and home front chaos affects us all. no peace for long to none with demonrats. with the rest of us divided, they keep winning for themselves.

Having reached an age [ in my 85th.year ] I am totally aware of what age does to you mentally and physically.
I also received a very good raise last year...which also helps...
Where I see the highest increase in cost..groceries, filling up my tank, and car insurance...
I am very lucky..I have no mortgage..so my living expenses are low...
Many of my single friends and co-workers are living paycheck to paycheck...
One man can not change the economy...In my opinion...it is the constant rise in spending in all the mega budgets...
Both sides spend way too much...the deficit is the biggest reason for the higher prices.
My children and grandchildren will be paying for the overspending...
I worry that my grandchildren will never be able to buy a home.

The policies a POTUS sets,especially if he writes EOs as if there was no tomorrow,have definitely a big influence on the Economy of the Country!
The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president.
Ps don't come out with tRump rubbish that he would have stopped the war as he would have just told the countries to surrender to Putin.
Here in the Philippines everyone is complaining about the increasing cost for food, gas, electricity, water etc.
It’s a worldwide crisis not solely in the almighty US.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. ! POSITIVE ROT.

Couldn't a President withdraw aid to Ukraine and let Putin "do whatever the hell he wants?"
