"The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency." - Lenin

Not like we have an actual capitalist system, but the quote still stands.

How cant people be awake? Go to the store and that tells you everything. We are all being screwed and for the Fed to say we are close to 2% is complete B.S. Joe Biden and his administration destroyed millions of chickens based off of a flawed test. We all know what he was doing. If there is no accountability you can kiss this country good bye. People need to be prosecuted for what has happened. I am not holding my breath

Most people know, the news doesn't bat an eye at it. This is why it's not being made a bigger deal. There doesn't seem to be freedom of the press.

Greg, Greg! Great news. So exciting! On Daily Wire/Ben Shapiro (Ben Shapiro, love him or loathe him) "The true faces of evil" February 21st 2025 on YouTube at approximately the 37-minute mark Shapiro says, "The Federal Reserve, today, needs to increase the interest rates." Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Then he goes from there. Wowee!

Eggs, now that's a topic, Biden's USDA had a great idea, actually saw it in practice locally, one (1) chicken tested positive for Asian Flu and the next day they killed 90,000 laying hens. As one official stated "no, the tests are not 100% and no, we don't know how it's transmitted and no, we don't know if it's dangerous to humans" but, I guess we all know now what this action will do to the price of eggs

It seems like inflation has averaged at least 10% per year for the last 4 years, even higher for groceries and household items like cleaners and detergents. Most of those have literally doubled in the last four years, so they're closer to 15 - 20% inflation per year on those items.

Belief is irrelevant. A majority bought into Covid, the Ukraine war, forced taxation to fund genocide and radical Zionism, Biden, Trump, Obama, Clinton and every other scheme funded by the wealthy. Americans are indoctrinated in religion to believe just about anything, from birth to death. “only believe” ? Why would you even cite a poll on belief? It only establishes the failure of our society to consider only factual reality. Ignorance is bliss or so it is said.

I really miss Shadow Government Statistics. They showed you the true numbers based on the Governments on calculations from the 80s and 90s. Based on 80s methodology a 3% rate by today's calcs was actually somewhere around 10%. Now again remember the financial Rule of Seven. If you invest your assets at a 10% rate you will double your assets in approximately seven years. So what does a true 10% inflation rate do to your purchasing power.......

But deflation is stalking the markets. Like today’s action. Be careful what you wish for. The Roaring Twenties were roaring to. But then, it stopped.

Lol, wouldn't it be funny if instead of hyperinflation we got a deflationary shock... A true prank on the people...

Some other good news, Ben Shapiro discussed this on his Friday podcast and actually strongly supported that the fed should be raising interest rates now.

Honestly, do we really need a government entity to tell us about inflation, especially when they're lying about the numbers? We see inflation everyday for ourselves, and since the reporting is inaccurate and incomplete, the people reporting on inflation for the government should really be fired by DOGE and Trump (in the interest of efficiency and reliability).
