I do not know what is coming, but the COVID pandemic is not close to over. It is WRONG to say, "We just lived through the pandemic." It is CORRECT to say, "We are continuing to live through the pandemic."

They gave a trillion dollar tax cut to the top 1% richest people in this country. And that's not just a trillion dollars, that's a trillion dollars every year. So thus far they have received four trillion dollars. But when you talk about spending that kind of money on the entire country's infrastructure it's just too much! Well I know where you can get that money

Yeah right. The housing market is massively overinflated.

[lmrmay]

I noticed there's been some product changes like Scotts toilet paper now is more like 500-600 sheet's, no where near! 1000 sheets. Same price By the way, their coming for that stimulus money. The meat prices now are rediculous! $18.90 per lb?!? I guess they don't want to sell meat in this country now 😷🇺🇸

[TimBulanski]

I bet Biden has never sat at a kitchen table.

[bertnijhof]

Stopping the stupid tariffs on Chinese goods would lower the prices too.

[epinephrinsr]

Inflation isn't long term? Are they just going to devalue America's savings, and then like 6 months later it's going to be valuable again? I've never heard of that before.

[lekim]

Brian Deese talk: nation economic director ...,

[TimothyCollins]

Inflation is a problem. But the truth is... it'll kinda take care of itself. If prices go too high people will stop spending money on those things which will drive prices back down. It won't happen overnight but prices for goods and services tend to find a balance point between supply and demand.

[annsanse]

middle class, who? where? reagan killed the middle class.

[lekim]

Family ngọc youtube and people American have girl happiness so Brian Deese? ...

[princesstiarra]

What is going to happen to these women on S.S. and S.S.D.I. who don't get on Thier checks for rent? No women should get under 1200 AP month but 7-8 a month is what they get. our older women are becoming homeless and living in cars dissabled. let's keep our women off the streets this is terrible I can't believe. Leaders have let it become this.

[samiaint]

Shrinkflation in product is not counted by CPI. Inflation is much higher than reported.

[bidenforretirementliving]

If you voted for Biden... then dont complain about inflation going up... you got what you voted for🤷‍♀️

[andrewwoodworth]

3.5 trillion is way to much, I think another 1-1.5 trillion is more reasonable, after you take out the money from that for corruption and just normal over pricing that comes with any federal spending.

[Christian-dizu]

This inflation is crushing the middle class which is what Democrats do best!
