        Well my pay check does a lot less. I work in oil and gas industry. We are not starving but the cost of everything has went up.

          Inflation has been a global phenomenon. Do you think Biden controls the entire world? Any guesses as to what happened globally?

          Back to the point, the US economy is fine.

              What are you even saying. Oil is priced globally. Food is priced globally. Virtually everything is priced/impacted globally. You’re just trying to deny how inflation is global.

              And to fill in what happened globally just so you know: supply chain problems still causing ripples. Russia invading Ukraine, which took out lots of grain and oil.
