CONSUMER SENTIMENT LOWEST RECORDED SINCE WW2
Consumer survey released Friday showed that sentiment declined 11% early this month to a reading of 47.6, lower than anything seen in the post World War II era, including during the Great Recession, the pandemic downturn and the historic inflation surge afterward.

INFLATION SKYROCKETS
Meanwhile, Americans’ expectations for inflation in the year ahead surged a full percentage point early this month to 4.8%, the biggest monthly increase in a year, when Trump unveiled his sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs.

CONSUMER PRICES UP HIGHEST IN 2 YEARS
In a separate report Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index surged 0.9% in March, the sharpest monthly increase since 2022, pushing the annual rate to 3.3%, the highest in nearly two years.

So you're telling me we've erased everything we've gained after the pandemic?

More like the shitstorm continues. Things haven't ever really gotten cheaper again. Sure gas prices dropped a bit for about 48 months but the oil cartels always find a way to nudge it back upto around $100 a barrel.

The increase in gas cost this year is projected to suck up that extra tax money some Americans are getting from the big, beautiful bill.

What a coincidence?!?!

Lol, the big bill of bullshit's tax cuts are going to the people profiteering off the oil price spikes.

Yes, any damage from trump biden repaired has been wiped out by trickle down economics and trump's war against Iran.
With how terrible trump is with the economy, we might actually hit depression, not just a recession

Thats what they want. Their masters don't want the American people to be well off, they want them to be poor and miserable.

We will be experiencing a depression level economic downturn. Its locked in.

>>1505174
I can’t even imagine that. It’s terrifying.
>>
>>1505174
True of Democrats. Well, they say they want people to be well off, and if I give them the benefit of the doubt, people who vote Democrat are simply kind idiots unaware of what they're doing.
Sad if you think about it like that, innit?

No shit. We elected Trump twice.

Sadly its true.

>>1505333
Why not?

With the peace talks failing gas prices are gonna resume skyrocketing. Europe runs out of jet fuel this week is what they're saying.

>>1505067
Yup. They just closed the strait back down and now Trump is going to blockade any ships that try and pass through. Kek.

Gas prices going to $6 a gallon.
