An intelligent person would know that the stimulus money given to all was to cover the costs of the impending inflation, and it’s not really inflation. It’s actually the free market doing what you guys want, being unregulated and flowing with no government controls.
You are confusing me with your republican hypocrisy, do you want government intervention because you seem to be asking for it, yet you’ll preach about the costs and big government… I know it’s just you regurgitating what your gods tell you to believe, like tuker Carlson and those other multimillionaire god you all worship.
High gas is good for the economy, and so is inflation, you’ll see both be controlled by the wealthy, it affects them more. They are required to take risks to earn ROI, instead of just parking their money into anything they want, making life difficult for those who pull the strings will result in changes… policy is created and enforced to maintain the status quo.
I’m confused as to whom your garbage is aimed at, is it the part time worker earning $12 an hour or the sole proprietor who is failing to make profits. Anyone with a real full time job isn’t affected by these small economic hiccups…
Someone who uses 60 gallons of fuel a month and typically spends $120 is now increasing their monthly costs to $360 a month with $6 a gallon gas… that’s $60 a week… if you can’t absorb a $60 a week increase in your monthly budget, you have other issues besides government policy

Not only does the individual pay more at the pump, so does the farmer, the trucker, the delivery services, and on and on. The costs are passed up the line until the increases at each stage reach the consumer. Someone had better take an economics course. Then there is the home heating oil and natural gas issues. If you are a senior citizen on a fixed income, this guy in the White House is doing you a huge disservice and making it much more difficult to exist. Does the writer think that his example of rising gas prices per month, as the example given had stated, makes sense at all. Increasing consumer gasoline costs by a factor of 3 means that much less to have to pay taxes, buy groceries, clothing, utilities, and the basics of life. Unless pay increases for those with jobs go up proportionally, they are losing. Then, what about all the millions of seniors, or people on government assistance programs that don't get proportional increases. This situation is not a slap on the hand, it's a hard punch to the gut. The writer should wake up and smell the roses before it's too late.
