Prices were up 5% in May compared to last year as the cost of many goods keeps rising. The rise in gas prices is one of the most noticeable signs of inflation.

Why would we expect anything less from this administration?

RBOB Gas (wholesale gasoline cost) has increased from $1.03 per gallon to $2,18 per gallon, since election day. That strongly influences all other prices. Biden is a disaster.

Caused by inflation, remember when we produced more energy than we used? Yes, that was six months ago.

Adam Schrader

Stupid question. Of course higher prices on everything effects one's finances

Michele Scarlet Ridenour

4 boards to replace on our deck was almost 5xs what it was last year. Fuel has doubled since Biden took office and groceries have doubled some have tripled

The price rise in building materials has caused me to put off building a new house. When your on a fixed income higher prices effects your purchasing ability.

The price increases are not across the board, so their impact is felt differently depending on what consumers purchase.

The items that have gone up the most have not been things I needed yet, but I feel for my friends and neighbors who are being affected.

Do you believe the POTUS should have broad authority to impose tariffs on other countries?

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
