Democrats on the congressional Joint Economic Committee released a report Thursday detailing how much more the average American family in every US state is having to spend monthly to cover the rising costs of food, shelter, energy, and other necessities under the leadership of President Donald Trump.

That’s a lot of money.
I mean that’s about 12k pre tax to afford the 8.4k increase in costs. 18% of the median income in just increases, not total costs!
How are most people able to swing that if the median income is 66k ?
The important thing is Israel still gets billions of dollars every year.
Invading Venezuela, giving cash to Argentina and golfing are the top priorities. I hope the Red Oblasts get hit the hardest.
let’s play a game: which will come first? civil unrest, 2% interest rates or midterm elections?
we’re not the only ones playing that game.
I’m surprised how big the difference between states, $269 in OK to $1,030 in UT
I’m in UT and I felt like I’ve just been fucking up my finances… I didn’t realize it’s an actual thing happening to me.
oh, you are probably fucking up your finances too, but capitalism is f’n it up more than you are ;-)

Well they can but they’ll sound stupid
I wish this mattered to them. It hasn’t stopped them so far lol.
That way they can’t call it flawed.
So cute that you think this!
So.
Much.
Winning.
You forgot that half of these families are libs. Owned them!
No kidding.
I’ve noticed
Yah, but Biden had the worst economy ever, and Pedonald is just trying to dig out from all the terribleness.
🙄
sure but they’re paying it to the big corps who need profits, so like, it’s all good, right?
But I need two Rivians! I’m not sharing with Caitlin!
