It's called collateral damage, you dumb bitch.
If the price wasn't up for Mexico or Canada, we'd be buying it from them.
Sit down and shut up, retard.

That is less than a dime per gallon of gasoline.

How did that happen? The oil company in Venezuela is owned by Venezuela. Are you surprised?
Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. is an easy-to-remember name. Everywhere else in the Western Hemisphere the oil companies own themselves and are free to raise their prices to take as much money as possible. No President has control over the price in their country, except for the Venezuelan President.

Federal spending is back down to normal
Over at National Review, (right-wing news site) Philip Klein takes in the news that payments on the federal debt have gone up thanks to higher interest rates. Along the way he says:
Under President Biden, massive spending has fueled not only high deficits but also inflation.
Let's take a look!
It looks to me like both Biden and Mitch McConnell spent a big slug of money, and of course they did so for a reason: COVID-19. As the COVID emergency has waned, so has federal spending, which is now back to its longtime trend. (Normally I would have said "Biden and Donald Trump," but I couldn't bring myself to pretend that Trump played any role in this. He was too busy at the time figuring out ways to make sure he didn't take the blame for the pandemic.)
So let's put a cap on the nonsense, OK? If high spending is indeed responsible for our inflation spike, it's as much the responsibility of McConnell as Biden. But if a year of inflation is the price of a spending policy that kept the United States on the path of growth and full employment, it was worth it. As Paul Krugman points out today, COVID emergency spending is the reason that employment took only 37 months to recover compared to the 144 months it took to recover from the Great Recession:
This looks like a pretty good tradeoff to me. It's something to be proud of, not ashamed of.

I'm not going to debate this with you again, retard.
You're too stupid to understand the concept.

Quote:In 1965 I was 13 years old and working for $0.95/hour at Burger King, alongside my father. We didn't own a house and 75% of Americans were living paycheck to paycheck, which had everything to do with who those Americans were, not who was President. 6ix, you white trash idiots have never understood that. Even then, the lazy no-good white trash were blaming the President. My father ended up a millionaire, working at Burger King. My mother, who outlived him by 14 years, was a multi-millionaire. All this was done on Burger King money. And the white trash idiots, what happened to them? They still lived paycheck to paycheck and when they could no longer work, they depended completely on Social Security. But fortunately, they died early, so soon after they retired, because they lived like white trash Trumptards live today.

In 1965, my parents explained to the stupid white trash like you, 6ix, how to get ahead in America and it wasn't by voting for Trump. (The closest equivalent to Trump was Gov. George Wallace of Alabama.) But stupid people like you were always convinced you were poor because Wallace wasn't President and you knew better about how money worked. Time proved you didn't, but my parents did. People like 6ix either die poor or die early. People like my parents die rich and live long, even when they started as poor.
America is an easier place to live in 2023 than 1965, 6ix, but stupid white trash are still finding new ways (along with old) to fill their lives with ridiculous drama and unnecessary suffering and kill themselves with their bad habits.

CNN: Americans are struggling to pay off their car loans.

Quote:
You’ve managed to buy the car, but can you afford to keep paying for it?
No. You didn't buy the car.
Have fun trying to pay it off over the next 72 months though.

Quote:If the customer is NOT struggling to pay, then the salesman has NOT set the price high enough. It is a seesaw where the salesman gets richer as the customer gets poorer. If you think there is a third person on the seesaw, the President helping either the customer or salesman, you are mistaken. The government is not involved because it doesn't set the prices for the customer or the salesman.

That's something the Leftards keep saying.
None of this was happening under President Trump.
Keep coping. I'm looking forward to getting a car for pennies on the dollar in the next year or two just like I did with my house.
Meanwhile, all the Millennial and Zoomer Liberal dipshits will continue to live in Mom's basement and have their cars repossessed because that's what they voted for.
Biden’s electric-car mandates slam the working class and boost China
https://nypost.com/2023/04/16/bidens-electric-car-mandates-slam-the-wo
rking-class-and-boost-china/
Quote:
The industry only makes EVs because 1) the feds basically require it, and 2) its leaders buy the idea that EVs are the future; companies feel doomed if they don’t get onboard now.
Nor do EVs actually much reduce carbon emissions, because the electricity that powers them is itself mainly the product of burning carbon fuels.
And will remain so for the foreseeable future, unless America suddenly starts building a lot more nuclear power plants.
Washington (and state capitols from Albany to Sacramento) can decree vast increases in solar- and wind-produced electricity, but actually making it happen is ruinously expensive — roughly half a trillion bucks just for New York’s current plan.
Meanwhile, Beijing dominates the supply chain for key components of electric vehicles. And changing that requires Washington not just to rule out consumer subsidies for China-dependent EVs, but also to enable, for example, massive lithium mining in this country — overriding other environmental concerns.
Not to mention the toxicity of used high-tech batteries (and the near-nonexistent technology for recycling them).
Because EVs are limited in range (and charging them is time-consuming), the consumer market will likely respond by keeping old ICE-cars on the road far longer. Used-car prices will soar.
Either by having to buy electric despite the price and inconvenience, or forking over more for clunkers, working stiffs get the shaft again.
Don't worry everyone, Trump will reverse all that dumb bullshit.
