That could be a possibility.  To those who how to play the stock great.  However, those who are living pay to pay check are struggling.  People are saying the con baby is keeping his promise but the economy has fallen on deaf ears.  
I not trying to compare years and or but but Biden.  What say ye?

Not sure what you’re asking me. Inflation went from 2.3% to 2.4% from April 2024-May 2025. Basically, non-existent.

Oil has gone from $75 to $64 in the past two days. Gas prices will fall. We won't see Bidens $5/gal prices ever during Trumps presidency. Nor Bidens 9% inflation. Trump has it back near 2%!

Maybe folks here on the east coast are price gouging. 🤷

Your state tax on fuel is a lot higher and is hidden in the cost. What’s your local tax rate? Ours (Texas) is right at 8.2%.

East coast, and west coast too. I just got back from Seattle. $5 gallon there. I can't imagine what California prices are. No thanks!

Trump ran on this promise to lower gas, eggs and the economy.  Still no answers.  The last four years the economy wasn’t nowhere near what they are now.  Trump did all this in only 6 months.

Where you alive during the Biden administration? It is fact gas is lower, eggs are lower, inflation is lower.....and while that is being resolved, he is trying to end wars in the middle east and deporting millions of illegals out of our country.

Just being in Cali hurts. And if in Seattle/Vancouver area, you better learn Mandarin.

Lived in Vegas in early 70s. Gas, bread, milk, all just about same price as here. Don’t know what it is today.
