    I just filled my tank. $145. It's usually less than $100.

    Gas is still lower than under Biden. So I am good.

    Nope.  Inflation is caused by gov spending and supply and demand. 
    • Biden open the border: This caused more demand for everything from food, housing, gas and everything else. 

    • Supply Chain Disruptions: The pandemic caused global bottlenecks in shipping and manufacturing, creating shortages of goods like autos and electronics while demand rebounded.

    • Energy Shocks: Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine drove up global oil and gas prices, significantly impacting gasoline and food costs.

    • Fiscal Stimulus: The $1.9 trillion ARPA and prior pandemic relief measures injected trillions into the economy. Estimates suggest this added 1–2 percentage points to inflation, though some analyses argue it explains a larger share of core inflation.

    • Labor Market Tightness: Post-pandemic worker shortages and high job vacancies pushed wages and service prices higher. (DEMOCRATS paying people more money on unemployment than they could make working)
