    Now that you mention it, both of the last two Republican presidents signed off on huge bailouts and then blamed the inflation on their Democrat successor. Nixon would be proud!

      Yeah that’s what gets me about the news always acting like the economy would be better under trump somehow. It’s his poor response to the pandemic that caused this whole situation we are in. It’s bullshit. The prices started going up during COVID. I remember. People were hoarding toilet paper and we couldn’t leave our homes without masks. Suddenly lumber prices skyrocketed from all the home projects people were doing while they were home. Then the price over other stuff started to go up randomly. I remember there were tariffs set on things from China too.

      Then Biden took over and things slowly got back to normal but the prices are still high. If we get trump again things will get much worse again.
