I was told if I didn’t vote for Trump that my gas would go up. Well I didn’t vote for Trump, and my gas went up.

It’s getting actually scary. I went for a 'quick' grocery run today and somehow spent $80 on basically nothing. I don’t know how much longer the average person can keep soaking up these price hikes.

Another great depression seems imminent. All because of dumb selfish hateful people.

I've been hearing this word for word for the last 25 years so presumably it'll just keep going :-/

so funny... trying to get us to sympathize with people who won't roll over in bed to end a voluntary, stupid, bullying, economy-destroyingly expensive war

It is interesting seeing how other countries are dealing with this; free public transit, suspension of gas taxes, 4 day work weeks, working from home... meanwhile the US government is just like..."welp guess the citizens will just need to deal with it and pay more"

And depending on where one lives, public transportation exists or has been severely weakened over decades that it's a joke, like in the south.

Yup, rural Maine here...what's public transit?

not really, all wealthy nations are doing the same to stabilize the oil prizes, which is a bad idea and causes a hughe crunch on poorer nations which cant afford to do that and must do the meassures you wrote. (all those and many more meassures should be taken in western countries too, but that does not go well with the general public)

Yeah imagine if Trump was like "hey, we are working from home again" lol yeah right. Imagine the capitalists going to 4 day work weeks and the workers find out that they could have been doing this all along. Or that affording a hundreds of billions dollar war means we easily could fund free public transportation (among other things)...but nah, just higher prices and the consumer being forced to deal with it for the sake of profits and egos.

And millions of Americans thought this was worth it over another black president. My sympathies are to children and the blue voters.

I take no pleasure saying this even though I'm glad even the maga is starting to wake the f*** up about how stupid this president is but the reality is this is going to get worse. Every day it's escalating more spreading like wildfire and I'm worried this administration frustrated with it's inability to control the position it's put America and the whole world into is going to put boots on the ground where they will be sitting ducks for Iranian drones, missiles or whatever they can muster.

Maybe this is a stupid question but why would it cause mortgage rates to rise. Everything else makes sense.

Bond rates have shot up because everything Donnie the Idiot does raises inflation. Plus the United States is an unserious country, so the hight debt load is less of a guarantee than it was 2 years ago. High inflation means higher bond yields. Unserious country that is basically a banana republic led by a mad king who is an idiot means higher bond yields. Mortgage rates are pegged to bond yields.
