Yes, because high gas prices have raised the cost of everything we use. That, coupled with Brandon's high inflation, we all are suffering. The sad thing is, the lower income, and those on fixed incomes, are suffering the most.

Yes it's crazy . Here in Moberly gas is 3.11$ to 3.14$ a gallon. In Macon it 3.07$ . Our gas wasn't this high when Trump was in office. Biden you made this a lot worse and here you say your helping the people How ? May I ask ?

Biden and his followers, are shoving communism down our throats, so we can all be equal, equally poor, except for him and his Elites, that is. He has sold America, to China and Russia.

While gas prices are high, they certainly are not as high as they have been before when we were paying almost $5.00 a gallon.

RBOB Gas, stock market price of wholesale gasoline. It can be looked at, as far back as July 2005. We were energy independent when Trump left office, and wholesale gasoline was less than half of what it is now.

That was between 2008 through 2014, during the Obama reign. During Trump's four years it was never as high as it is now. Thank you for pointing that out. Let's go Brandon!

We never won against the ranked teams. Now we made our head coach one the highest paid in the college.

Mizzou football fans and boosters need to make a decision. Are we as content as fans with the job Drinkwitz is doing. If winning 8, 9, or 10 wins a season is good enough, the keep giving Drinkwitz and his staff contract extensions.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade
