More Winning! "Prices are rising faster than they have in six years"

[JDC]

"If you feel like stuff has been getting more expensive lately, you're right.

The Consumer Price Index, which tracks most items on the average city-dwelling American's shopping list, rose 2.9% last month — its fastest pace since 2012.

When prices speed up, paychecks don't go as far. Average hourly earnings only increased 2.7% over the year in June, which means that most workers' paychecks actually aren't going any further at all."

*Not all prices are rising at the same rate and some one-off prices are decreasing, It's interesting to say the least, but if one had to guess, and based on the temperature of the trade markets, prices are sure to increase further.

5. Republican moron voters never look at that aspect..........

They just parrot the same shit about the TAX CUT that Bush got them,now the tax cut (they can't ever tell you how much) that Trump got them. Meanwhile here....it will cost you at least $50.00 per month more for fuel than the day that SHITler took office.

And...Trumps buds at the Credit card companies got their 14% tax cut but will be raping anyone with a running balance when the Feds keep raising interest rates to slow inflation. WIN WIN for those fucks.
