Should have a slowing effect on inflation, eh?

[Leaning Right]

Inflation, the deficit, consumer spending. The Big Guy doesn’t care about any of that. He just wants to know if ice cream is still available in Delaware.

Sorry; but I just can’t think of anything else to buy. Already got my wife a diamond ring.

Home sales are slowing, so have car sales for the last two months.

Durable goods is down also, and with consumer confidence I do not know how it could get worse.

When the communists had their reign in the former East-block, they would report year after year how their output and productivity were increasing, how they were producing more per area of land than in the West... Yet people were starving and had little. They did have a lot of paper money which could buy you nothing because the shelves were empty.

I don’t know about spending slowing.

I spent over $300 on groceries yesterday.

Time to raise the Minimum Wage! *SMIRK*

Posted in another forum. Costco is placing limits on things, also including gasoline, sugar and dog food.

I just bought a 2021 Ford F150 from a private party versus a dealer. Saved $15,000.00! I REFUSE to help reverse the 'Bidenflation' numbers other than basic foodstuffs which are not taxed...for now, anyway! Ugh! I probably just gave them another 'great' idea! :(
