How the press frames things, influences how a lot of people think or "know" about certain things.

Yeah, more Leftist mental illness. If I said it once, I said it a thousand times 
I will raise my hand and admit I was not mature enough to care. My first few girlfriends in high school were on birth control.
I still marvel at the fact these lunatics film themselves and some "friend" or family member doesn't tell them to stop.Yeah, more Leftist mental illness. If I said it once, I said it a thousand times

As much as I dislike the government telling us what to do, the idea of giving people like this more freedom is frightening.
I believe "tampons" serve as effective birth control.

We used to treat people with mental illness. Now the Left treats it as a virtue - if directed in their favor.

Husker and other experts assured us that tariffs where going to make inflation go up like a rocket.
I posted the other day wage and employment growth...all very good and going in the right direction.
Here is what we are looking at now with inflation. We are so lucky to avoided Kamala and bad D economic policies. In January, increased prices by 0.2%. Over a full 12 months, that would be 2.4%.
I am sure Husker and E will look at jobs and inflation now...and tell us things are still going in the wrong direction. They are wrong of course. Those numbers help the economy and they certainly help the little guy.
Food went from +0.7 to +0.2, for instance. Energy prices actually dropped by significant amounts across the board, -1.5% overall and -3.2% for gasoline. Fuel oil fell 5.7% in January in a month where demand would be peaking. Electricity prices fell by a tenth of a point. Only natural gas showed a significant increase of 1.0% in January.
However, the year-on-year numbers in CPI for the first twelve months of the Donald Trump administration look pretty spectacular when it comes to an affordability argument:
Overall YoY inflation: 2.4%
Food: 2.9%
Food at home: 2.1%
Food away from home: 4.0%
Energy: -0.1%
Energy commodities: -7.3%
Gasoline: -7.5%
Fuel oil: -4.2%
Energy services: 7.2%
Electricity: 6.3%
Utility gas service: 9.8%
Core CPI less food and energy: 2.4%
It's not perfect, but it's pretty darned good.
