One thing that is worse than inflation and high gas prices.

[kentuck]

That is to be without a job.

Inflation is something that politicians can do little about. It happens with supply and demand and market forces.

However, if you have a job, and wages are going up, you can more or less keep up with inflation. That is the best situation we can hope for during inflationary times.

Joe Biden's Administration has created almost 8 million jobs since he took office in January 2021. If we did not have those jobs and a growing economy, inflation would be a much bigger problem for all of us.

1. Try being on a fixed income of Social Security.

Gettin’ a little scary. What do I do without next?

3. It's tough.

I hear you.

2. I think those on a fixed income like social security have it bad

Yes they got 5.9 percent, but some went towards health care.

4. Yeah, those % can be misleading,

I made a pretty good income, I get a decent amount from SS so that 6% was a decent increase. people on SS who don't get as much won't get that much more from 6%.

5. One hell of a lot of baby boomers are now on a fixed income. Nice to

see workers having a robust job market but our main concerns are stopping Predatory Capitalists from shorting demand and driving up inflation.

6. They have their ways of getting back any increases in wages...

By raising the prices of their products and services.

[Emile]

7. I agree Kentuck.

9. Like when that $15

buys $7.50 worth now …

8. I liked the way you put it

I’ve been just sick over food and gas prices. I recently got a part time job, not something I wanted to do in my retirement. You are right in looking at the glass half full because if it wasn’t for Biden I would not have the opportunity to get this part time job . I would be losing my home 😕

Thank you 😊 you have no idea how good you made me feel .
