JS,

Government economics is a joke, but conservatives should be explaining all of this to the public -- in a straightforward manner with illustrations and examples. The rate of inflation was 1.4% in 2020. In 2021, after Biden took over, it was 7%. In 2022 it was 6.5%, and in 2023 it is 3.2% -- still over twice what it was in Trump's last year in office. If people spent $100.00 on groceries in December 2020, they paid $107.00 for the same groceries in December 2021, and then $114.00 for the same groceries in December of 2022. Despite the inflation rate decreasing to 3.2% in 2023, by the end of 2023 those same groceries cost $117.65. Lies all over. So spending is up 5% while costs increase 100% which tells me things are actually down 95%. 100K jobs created with 70K of the jobs were guberment jobs which produce nothing. Cash flows only because the guberment is printing fake money. What will happen when people max out their cards and start failing to make payments plus have to quit spending on groceries houses, cars etc?
