Yellen - Inflation

[RiverRat1]

Did she really just say this?
"❖ YELLEN: WE DON'T HAVE TO GET PRICES DOWN BECAUSE WAGES ARE GOING UP"

If she did, what do you guys think?

[SabreKiller]

Just another idiot.

[manwitaplan]

The elite do not live in reality. The same could be said for every state without a border crossing. We do not have a problem with illegals! I bet she could not tell you the price of any item at the grocery store. Nothing new just more gas lighting.

Wage increases will only lead to more inflation

Just another idiot.

She’s just another communist.

Agreed. I don't know how any of them could be so stupid to think that they don't need to get prices down. Obviously, they don't do any shopping for themselves. Just groceries alone ****** me off. Every Sunday after church my wife and I go to HEB. Groceries used to cost us about $150-$175 every week. That has gone up to $225-$250. Effin ridiculous.

I agree with others, none of these elites shop for groceries or have any idea of cost's that literally everyone I know is talking about......like the time Obama got a beer or an ice cream, can't remember, and when went to walk away the owner said he needed to pay for it and a secret service agent had to because Obama didn't have a wallet and just expected it to be free....how dare they charge the king.......

Grocery prices are a killer. I'll check my credit card after doing the HEB curbside. The bill will be $125 and I feel like all I got were a few bottles of HEB brand sparkling water for my wife, a couple jugs of apple juice for my daugher, some fruit,1 lb of hamburger meat and some bread. Sure, we get a few more items than that, but it's tough to walk out of a grocery store for less than $100 and have much of anything to show for it. The government can say what they want, but our grocery bill has gone up roughly 20% from a few years ago.

Go in the app to some of your old orders and look at the price. Then hit "add all to cart" and look at the price today. Its sickening.

The worst part is the meat department. I lost about 1.5 deer when my freezer went out over Christmas and we've been buying meat at HEB where we didn't eat much store bought meat before. I've got a new freezer with nothing in it but some ice right now. Even what used to be cheap meat ain't cheap anymore. Thankfully, in another week or so I can kill some does at an MLD ranch my son in law works on.

With a rusty hedge clipper.

I just did this and pulled an order from 2/6/22, that original order cost $152, 2 years later it costs $192 AND 3 of the items are out of stock and couldn’t be fulfilled. Thats a 26% increase in 24 months.

That's pretty close to 3.8% per year

Pretty close when you use “gubment maff “ just carry the 1 and quantitative ease the “niner” , and common core the remainder and works right out to be 3.8%
