Not hardly, you all need to read other than fox and the far-right propaganda sheets. Inflation from Jan 2016 to present is $0.23 on the dollar. Or in other words $1 in 2016 when trump took office is worth $1.23 today in purchasing power. But the job situation and pay are one hell of a lot better today than when trump left office. And with the minimum wage increases and better paying jobs. Wage growth has grown 10% or better from 2016 to present. As far as market trends its always up and down. trumps tariffs didn't help that at all either.

So, you're a fan of basically a 13% loss in buying power over the past 6 years..........using your figures.
$0.23 = 23% inflation
vs a 10% rise in wages
the math I learned years ago seems to lead me to believe there's a bit of a shortfall somewhere.

Thanks to a couple of cùnts like Tootie and GayGhost.
Hey...at least our Govt and Business Leaders are making big bucks on all the dead Ukrainians.
And all those folks working in the Arms industry. Helps keep the unemployment numbers down.

He's using Biden math..... "ZERO, let me repeat that figure: ZERO inflation"
If the dollar is worth $1.23 now, how come it won't buy the same amount of gas that $1 did four years ago.
Stop using old math.
As Raeford points out, we need to start using Biden Math now.

Mortgage: has been fixed for the last 22 years. Auto: have put off buying another one. Credit Cards: none Utilities: Everything is LED and run A/C conservable. Water: There's a DROUGHT, again conserve... Grocery's: I don't feed the dogs Rib-Eye steaks 7 days a week anymore. Couple maybe. Investments: Play stupidly, loose stupidly.
No, I haven't had any real increase cost or lost anything. I just choose what to purchase and when.

Sounds like a typical selfish liberal to me. Only thinking about yourself.

Dead soldier disposal too I suppose...civilian undertakers for the dead women and children as well.
Coffin sales are up?
Backhoes too, for digging holes?

Yeah, how much loss today. Looks like it's going to be down about 560 points. ... From what I can see.. There's a lot being lost with the current administration. We know that, wtf is wrong with the dems? Those fuggers are idiots.. The true threat to democracy..

So there’s no inflation because you don’t buy anything. That’s a brilliant supposition.
