I sure hope one of the gas executives points out like last time (to paraphrase), how they make .08 cents a gallon profit, while the Government adds .80 in taxes. So who is gouging the public?

Wipe your nose, sweetheart. You must be young that you don't remember we've been here before, and worse. I remember taking a mortgage at 10.5% - this ain't shit.

Ha! Years ago when I got my first house mortgage, my mom was bitching to my dad that I had to get an 8% loan. My dad replied with, "don't you remember rates going to 18%?"

Yeah, my dad said 18% for his mortgage too. Gosh, I really hope we can return the stagflation of the '70's, that would be great.

Not bad for me, I'm locked in at 2.75% for my mortgage. Unfortunately for those looking for houses now, those aren't the rates and they don't have the cash to get a smaller or no mortgage. Rental rates are through the roof too so no relief there. If people could just get used to not having a home I'm sure we'd be all good.

Dems. Bitch on one hand about young people not being able to afford houses, and then drive the economy off a cliff to the point where rates are skyrocketing and they will NEVER be able to afford one now. Seriously, you can’t make this shit up.

So glad I locked in a 15 year note at 2.75 back in 2016.

You should have refinanced in 2021. 15-year rates were 2%.

Inflation rose again in April, continuing a climb that has pushed consumers to the brink and is threatening the economic expansion, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday.

The consumer price index, a broad-based measure of prices for goods and services, increased 8.3% from a year ago, higher than the Dow Jones estimate for an 8.1% gain. That represented a slight ease from March’s peak but was still close to the highest level since the summer of 1982.

Removing volatile food and energy prices, so-called core CPI still rose 6.2%, against expectations for a 6% gain, seemingly dashing hopes that inflation had peaked in March.

The price gains also meant that workers continued to lose ground. Real wages adjusted for inflation decreased 0.1% on the month despite a nominal increase of 0.3% in average hourly earnings. Over the past year, real earnings have dropped 2.6% even though average hourly earnings are up 5.5%.

And the things that really matter to people -

"On a 12-month basis, energy costs were still up 30.3% while food rose 9.4%"

Yeah, and I remember there was another Donk in the White House at that time too.
Strange coincidence.

Classic Donk deflection. Blame the guy who was in the seat for less than 2 years, not the guy who literally fucked up everything he touched between 1976 and 1980.
