  1. Our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.

  2. Gas is still 4 + dollars in washington state. Everything is so expensive. All insurance is almost doubled. 😢

  3. Stock market has over 40 all time highs in 2024. Trump says USA is falling apart and he's richer than EVER. Meanwhile all the people complaining (and don't even know what a Roth IRA, index fund, or compound interest is) are playing Russian roulette with our democracy… because clearly an overpriced real estate market, $30-40k cars, and $5.99 birthday cards at Kroger are Biden's fault. So if things are that rough, I assume the maga cult will save and invest instead of maxing out their credit cards bc tradition says your ENTITLED to buy Christmas gifts as a human being on planet earth…. and then vote to end democracy and stab half the country in the back. Well bless your heart. #FIREmovement

  4. I like in California and the price of a burger in these fast food websites are double digits.

  5. Gas was under $2 a gallon under trump, and part time was 36 hours before obummer

  6. It's not a question of necessity if i wanted to live on hamburger helper I could it's comes down to quality of like not getting by. I used to be able to afford higher quality things in life. Now I need to pass on. You may want to get by I would like to thrive and build wealth.

  7. I guess u didn't grocery shop either. I spend almost 40% more on food then i did 3 years ago. I want to buy Heinz Ketcup yesterday and it was $6.49 for a 24oz bottle, a 6 pack paper towels $8 49 for the supermarket brand when i used to buy scott paper towels for $5.99. 12 pack of Coke is $9 99, three dollars more. So you can say all you want and tell yourself live is great. As I said you are delusional.

  8. I wonder why they didn't compare everything to trumps economy and instead just did 1 year ago… weird…

  9. Ik are you kidding me with this analysis? Nothing and I mean nothing has come down in price since 2021 nothing!!!!!

  10. The media isn’t here for you, they’re here for wealthy elites and any poor person dumb enough to believe them.

  11. They push this propaganda all they want. Americans know that the Democrats caused this sky high inflation.

  12. No talk of the debt crisis?

  13. Lol u wish it was booming! I have friends losing their apartments, they have to share 3 people making the rent together

  14. Look at the jobs now available most who are hiring is the government.

  15. They love to tell Americans that aren't rich how great we have it.
    This network has balls of steel! This is why no one trusts the media and they should lose their broadcasting license immediately. Why do we pay for them to constantly lie to us?

  16. Stop trying to blow smoke up my back side.

  17. This has to be an SNL SKIT but it's not funny any more.

  18. People are still struggling to meet ends.

  19. Where is gas 3.13?

  20. Folks CBS is here to tell you that you don’t know what you’re going through.
    Just expect to pay more for less

  21. Bidenomics was a failure. Say no to Cacklenomics.

  22. This is crap. The economy is trash. Can't afford to eat.

  23. More fake media trying to tell the American public that they are stupid and don't know what is really going on. Just like Kamala Harris. Let's just face facts it was much better not perfect but much better when Trump was in office. Kamala Harris is telling everyone she'll lower prices and help the American lower and middle class, so why tf hasn't she done so?? She could've done it in 2021 and 2022 and 2023 ??? Wtf? Do you idiots believe a word she is saying now she and Biden have the ability with an executive order to change it even now but won't do so!!!

  24. There’s just so much on clearance on around me even food. Certain food and drinks brands that didn’t have an easy time selling have clearance from 50-75% cents off. These items not on clearance but they are consistently a cheap price like ground beef for less than $2 lb , beef knee caps for $1.39 since 2016 because this particular grocery store opened back in 2016, cereal box 10-12 oz for $1.25, veal bones, etc. I can easily pay early 2000s prices or less on certain items. $1.25 cereal box is at dollar tree and not a name brand.

  25. BS the grocery prices are not sustainable. She is so blaze’ about us not being used to higher prices on groceries.

  26. Your statistics 📈 are stupid one back of meat from the supermarket is $200.00 how is that going the right direction!
