Prices aren't leveling off. They are going up!
Yup. Rich gotta rich.
The only thou falling down is rain.
Bad policies
My rent has increased by $200 each renewal the last 3 years in a row.
@@catpax6075 Thank Government spending for that
Rent went from 1200 to 1950. Car insurance went from 300 to 600. We are being scammed by corporations. The pandemic was opportunity for corporations
Exactly
Yet if working Americans demand a pay raise we are the ones causing inflation.

My rent up 20% and car insurance 40%!! This is insane
I only pay $125 a month for top of the line $500 deductible insurance. My rent has increased $25 in two years.
I assist with people's budgets. You wouldn't believe what people spend their money on while complaining about inflation. $300 cable, $100 in streaming services, $200 going out to eat and that's only because they can't put it on their maxed out credit cards anymore.
Automobile accidents are up 37%
Everyone has gotten in on the price gouging act. They simply used the pandemic as an excuse.
I have a paid for mortgage so rents don't affect me but I do have homeowners and car insurance on a 2020 vehicle my rate increased 56 cents in January I prefer to pay my house in car insurance once a month so paying $114.83 State Farm

And sending money to others countries
The only way to fight it is to raise the minimum wage to 20. Think about it. There is too much money out there.
@@victorofriasthat not true, if employers would pay that much for the national wage then consumers will have more spending driving up inflation, as well as food prices rise since they know that you guys have some more money to spent this is basic economics 101 since if you guys have more money they have more demand they should really stabilize the food prices by fixing supply chain issues and govt spending not raise wage 💀💀💀that only adds more to inflation. Study what inflation is it the relative price increase due to loss of real purchasing power.
Biden has no freaking clue what's going on. FJB.
Neither do you
Here is the catch though: Do you really think Trump will lower prices? I mean for real seriously? For real now, republicans take care of rich and wealthy people. If you are rich and wealthy and don't care about anyone else I understand. However, if you are a working person that is not rich and you don't have to be poor I'm talking middle class, republicans are not going to help you.

@@r44bb98 I signed a lease for $2,000/month (already too high btw), but I didn’t sign a lease for $2,200/month which is the new norm in rental increases per year in my area. My rent has increased by 30% in 2 years. We have to move each year? Inhumane af. Do you even understand the costs to move?? I’m being robbed by landlords. Literally. And soon the costs to move will be too high and I’ll wind up on the street with the rest of the unhoused in the US. When rents increase by 15% every year, that’s where all of your savings go. We are TRAPPED. 2 adults in a 1 bed 1 bath that’s already overpriced but the best we could afford before rental units went up by $200/month every year… At this rate renters will always be stuck overpaying and stay impoverished. We want to own our own properties!! But have no options to escape the lords. *What we need is rent control or a complete overhaul of the medieval era landlord system. Companies now hoard rental properties using computer programs like RealPage to jack up costs of living astronomically. This is a system issue the government needs to regulate NOW.*
Government spending is keeping inflation high
Absolutely and anyone that says different is lying
We need help
Who?
Biden economic at work
Yet Trump tariffs helped raise prices and Republicans own most major corporations. You've been bamboozled.
This is capitalism at work. These companies don't have competition and there's very little anyone can do about it.
It's not capitalism. It's inflation caused by reckless spending of our money for useless programs thanks to the boneheading office who inherited 2% inflation and is claiming he's done better SMH. Gas was $2 a gallon under Trump now it's over $6, you can't make this stuff up. You are delusional

Are we talking 1.3% per day?? There's no way grocery inflation is only 1. 3% per year... Every time I shop, the store has raised prices😒
I get anxiety seeing how these stores are just price gouging. It's ridiculous.
California needs to fix the freeways and roads especially Los Angeles since gas is going up.
They are proposing higher gas prices in San Diego to do that. They act as if they aren't already making and pocketing money
I was laid off in February (2024). Business had been really slow for over a year. Gas prices are going up yet again and food prices have not been coming down and won't be. I am now on unemployment and FoodShare, but I am 65 years old. Who is going to hire an I.T. person with just over 40 years experience for I.T.? I am certainly willing to take a job in another industry, but when they see my background I either don't have enough experience in a certain area or over qualified. I am thinking I will take early retirement and just get the heck out of the working world. I've cut back on a lot of things and I will continue to cut back. Thankfully I am single. Never married and no children. That air-head in the White House HAS to go!

Because you don’t know how it’s calculated, it’s year on year, also low inflation doesn’t mean lower prices it means it increased slowly.

This isn't Biden's fault. We haven't felt his inflation yet. This inflation is Bill Clinton's. After this we'll experience Bush's inflation, then Obama's inflation, then Trump's inflation. Then, and only then... When a gallon of milk is $15... Will we get around to feeling Biden's inflation.
I remember when i worked at a grocery in early 2000s, those gravy packets were 89 cents and a store brand was 79 cents. Now we’re here 20 years today. We are in a different era in time today after the pandemic. I don’t see prices leveling off anytime soon.

Y’all are going to be very upset when your grocery bill doesn’t go down under Trump. You really think we’re gonna go back to the 2019 groceries/goods prices? That’s not gonna happen unless you want a serious economic depression. We might get gas down a bit, but it’s not gonna go down to 1.36 a gallon again! Inflation can definitely slow down, but these higher prices are here to stay! When this country suffered from inflation when Jimmy Carter was president, Did we have deflation on everything when Reagan was president? Nope!

Um. They don't include gas and food in the inflation number. Perhaps you could have an economist write these kinds of articles.
It is dependent on which index you look at. Core CPI or consumer CPI. I believe the former doesn't include those and the latter one does.
Inflation = 95 billion to other countries in the form of aid
Every company is posting record profits people…
because there is more money in the economy from them printing more! ppl are making more money too now...but the rate of it isnt matching the price increase

Prices of gas, rent, and groceries have nothing to do with keeping inflation high. Inflation is out of control, and as a result, gas, rent, and grocery prices are high. Not sure how you get that confused, but it's a fundamentally backwards line of thinking.
The only reason the price is high is because the demand is high
Well then lets raise the price of gas rent and groceries. It wont effect inflation.
@@Wolfcamp555 and the doom loop cycle continues
So true.
@@oscaryuen311 unfortunately, the only way to get rid of inflation is mass layoffs of at least 8% unemployment for a few years.
