We walked through the darkness for 4 years under Biden/Obama. The light at the end of the tunnel was seen when Trump took office. It has take over a year to weed out just a portion of the DS that have opposed Trump at every turn and it is not over yet. We are in lean times now thanks to corrupt judges and people in Congress from both sides that oppose changing who has the power, the people or the politicians. Greed has also played a big roll in our suffering. Big Oil jacked up the gas prices in the US even though we import very little oil anymore. Food prices follow the cost of delivery. We suffer now with the hope for a brighter future for our children. I’ll never see it at my age and neither will Trump but for once in my life I have hope that America will return to it’s foundational truths.
We buy oil in competition with all other purchasers on the world market. But the bad spots are states (like Washington) that impose "green" tax surcharges. I heard recently that the national average price for gasoline was $ 4.50/gallon. Here in Washington, due to the "green" tax, the price is $ 6.50/gallon. But Trump counsels hope, on the strength of a huge market correction when the Strait of Hormuz is open (and when shippers arrange replacements for the risk insurance that Lloyd's of London cut off when this whole thing started). Lots of U.S. and Venezuelan oil entering the pipleline, but nothing happens all at once.
Oh, and another problem would be self-flagellation. California has driven all of its domestic refiners out of business by green regulation, and must now import its "boutique" legally-mandated recipe of gasoline from Barbados (or some other Caribbean island), requiring transit through the Panama Canal.
I understand but we can still manage what we have extra after the bills are paid. I am in a blue state so I am aware of how expensive things are, but hold out. Things will improve.
It’s called having ‘skin in the game’. I’m motivated…and feeling the pinch with you. But take a look around.
Expensive is the cost for now. That’s how I see it. THEY want prices up.
But they’ll be coming down. I believe in the country.

CA will be proof of insecure elections.
The military is the only way.
Q.E.D.
I'm winning so bigly that my checking account gets smaller and smaller every month. HUUUUGE.
Stop spending so much.
Tell that to my mortgage company

Get a second job, you won't be the 1st nor last. That's what people do when 1 income doesn't cover their expenses. Oh and quit whining. 🙄
Lmao yeah the average American should work 60-80 hours a week to afford to live. Nice. That's slave mentality.

I sure hope you're right! Better for you to be right than me, that's for sure
You sound like a Dumocrat. Dont ever sound like a Dumocrat. 😳
You sound like you've never had an original thought in your entire life
I’ve lost count how many times I’ve heard something big is coming. One of these times it surely has to be right doesn’t it? 😳
That's why I feel the way I do now. I still remember thinking Trump was gonna declas all the FISA shit in 2018.
