Ez ryder Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 7% lol I think a realistic number would be closer to 19 or 20% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer254 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 6.2% inflation. So I guess if you didn't get a raise of more than that you effectively got a pay cut. Gas is now 3.34 here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted February 10, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 10, 2022 By no means is all the inflation Biden's fault however there are some tools that he has at his disposal that would help in some area's that he refuses to utilize. Lets face it Biden isn't doing shit because Biden isn't running the show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to be brain dead to not think a worldwide pandemic wouldn’t effect costs of everything. If consuming does not slow down it will get worse.

No. Some people needed help....and then we helped those that didn't over and over and over so they spent yielding inflation. Sure other things added some fuel but stupid social policies drove it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
