MSNBC seem to admit here that life was better under Trump and his policies were better.

[MsLH]

Trump isnt a person I approve of, but I WILL SAY gas wasnt $25 a gallon wen he was in office

[dawnoceanside]

What does this have to do with January 6 Peaceful Protest?

[dontyouwishyouknewmyname]

It's called economic panic to us peasants.

[MusicalSavior]

What was the inflation percentage prior to Russia invading Ukraine?

[LogicAndReason]

Those who would sacrifice liberty for lower gas prices, will get neither - apologies to Ben F.

The economic hardship, recession, unemployment and the loss of job caused by covid pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures. I'm taking a trip into investing because I lost so much during this pandemic. Multi creation of wealth is the best strategy to ensure financial sustainability..

It is incredibly disingenuous and boarders on irresponsible for you in the media to use terminology that applies to ‘normal’ economics when these issues are far from the regular ups and downs our economy has had over decades.
This is NOT just ‘inflation’ or ‘high’ prices. The American tax payers (who also bailed out these greedy corporations and industries) are getting gouged by companies and industries with monopolies on top of the money grab coming from the transportation/shipping industry -every one of them took advantage of pandemic bail outs while racking up RECORD PROFITS. They continue to report historic profits; prices aren’t higher due to shortages and backlogs, nor lack of materials.
Greed.
Follow the money. We aren’t as dumb as y’all obviously think we are. We’ve had two years of observing these vultures behavior-stock buy backs anyone?

I think we need a massive overhaul of our economic system. In every industry and market. If they fail, let ‘em fail. Others will step in to scoop up the failed businesses and their infrastructure. Perhaps even the employees who will get a share of those possible profits that will remain available to necessary businesses, banks, farms (big Ag can be unconsolidated), ranches, processing/packaging plants, gas/oil/coal industries, and even what will remain of the so called stock markets.
The ridiculous CEO pay gap and the share holders in it strictly for profit-screw the employees and the customers-will lose big if they keep squeezing Americans like this.

We are aware and we are done.

[justinkosuk]

This lady blaming progressives on energy is out of touch

[thebilboshow]

Oh
So you know why you're going to lose.


😂

[DUSAbruddah]

That push back made Heidi split to another topic like a headless chicken 🤣

[vira]

They say Republicans don't have a plan ha, prior to Biden we had the best economy in 50 years!

[trumplibraryrumble]

make sure you thank the democrat's for hIgh gas and food prices

[LogicAndReason]

Voters should be able to explain why world-wide inflation is the fault of a single US party, and how exactly the other party can fix it, before they are allowed to vote. This problem can only be solved long-term by putting massive taxes on all fossil fuels combined with equal stimulus checks to all citizens to offset increased costs. This way, the free-market will find the domestic alternatives by itself in a way that will boost the standard of living for everyone.
