Trump's right: Inflation rate hits 2.8% in February, less than expected By HatetheSwamp March 12, 2025 6:28 am Category: Opinion (0.0 from 0 votes) Rules of the Post Write A New Article How To Post Here

Prices for goods and services moved up less than expected in February, providing some relief as consumers and businesses worry about the looming impact tariffs might have on inflation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday.

The consumer price index, a wide-ranging measure of costs across the U.S. economy, ticked up a seasonally adjusted 0.2% for the month, putting the annual inflation rate at 2.8%, according to the Labor Department agency. The all-item CPI had increased 0.5% in January.

by oldedude on March 12, 2025 2:32 pm I was hoping for something smaller, but better than expected. by Navy2711 on March 15, 2025 3:40 pm Gas hasnt moved. Trump sets the gas prices. What's the holdup? by oldedude on March 15, 2025 5:44 pm Ours is down .35/gal from about 6 weeks ago. Not to say that everyone's like that. And the issue is supply v. demand. we need to work through all the crap pedojoe put into effect (the EPA admin stuff), then rebuild and refit the drills/ pumps, hire people, pump. And then of course, we have to get the raw oil to the refineries which have been on 25% for 2 years. That means some more issues. And they have to hire people "if" they know there's pumping out there. Of course, some of these can happen simultaneously. Long story short, the EPA put a bunch of "roadblocks" in the way of oil. In the Gulf, Alaska, and the keystone have turned into ghost towns and laid off everyone. The issue with that is pissing off the canadians with all the tariffs and talk of the 51st state🙄 is zero help at all. And since pedojoe sold our reserves mostly to china, the initial output of oil is going to be under the expectations or need. That's the Cliffs note version. by meagain on March 16, 2025 9:30 am What Biden sold to China was from the strategic oil reserve, whose purpose is not to keep on hand for American use only but to assist with international disruptions. That was the reason for the sale: to keep oil prices, disrupted by Russia, down. He, if you personalise it, was purchasing oil to replenish the supplies before the election. He was also doing the responsible thing for the climate by restricting drilling. I wish the Canadian government had the same jurisdiction here. Alberta's increasing production is a disaster and an offence against international needs. by Navy2711 on March 16, 2025 12:22 pm OD, when Trump supporters claimed that Trump made gas prices low, I told them that gas prices were governed by complicated economic issues, and that only some credit could be given to Trump. They didnt want to hear any of that, and insisted it was all Trump. So we're going to stick to that. Trump is responsible for gas prices, and gas prices haven't come down. by oldedude on March 16, 2025 12:57 pm And I gave you a list of "complicated issues" after having friends working in oil and gas. What they have to do now that pedojoe stopped most of the oil in the US. How the EPA can hold up any drilling for YEARS if they want (and did during pedojoes Reich). You can't drop and EO and have them start the next day. That's obviously a fact you don't give a shit about. To get the EPA "rules" changed will a year (at best, and only because trumpster's in office and not pedojoe). Then you have OSHA come in to check everything. Eventually, you get it together. What I'm saying right now is everyone just needs to shut up and color. Wait for things to happen (or not). That's what happens when you close any manufacturing. It takes awhile to get the plant working again. Even if he started day 1, we "might" see pumping this winter. 1. Oil companies need to be notified of what lands are going to be open so they can apply for leasing. 2. They need to give their Priorities to the government, which has to approve the leasing sites. 3. EPA needs to "approve" those drilling sites first (that's a crapshoot). 3a. In order to get this done, the EPA's Environmental Regulations need to be hammered out.[1] Old EPA? A couple of years. Now? not sure. After that, it's all about machinery and the site. And I'm pretty sure I said this same thing. Although I am still pissed that pedojoe locked up the drilling, etc on that much land. I knew what it's going to take to start drilling again. Alaska, asked specifically for him to leave it open because they had spent billions of dollars to make it "environmentally correct" and pedojoe closed it anyway. So the same thing is going to happen when they reopen their pipeline. selectsmart.com by Navy2711 on March 16, 2025 1:13 pm So you dont want to address my point. Got it. Btw, I just read through the thread where you claimed Biden pardoned his family for crimes they might commit in the future. What a riot! 😁 by HatetheSwamp on March 16, 2025 3:41 pm Navy, The pardons were effective beyond the date they were issued. Maybe just because the Doddering Old Fool's a "feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap." by oldedude on March 16, 2025 3:58 pm You actually need to read them. They're cited in my posts. It's not us that are morally corrupt. by Navy2711 on March 16, 2025 4:31 pm You two already tried that bullshit on the original thread and got slapped down. by HatetheSwamp on March 16, 2025 4:38 pm OD! What do you do to attract such hate? I just don't get it!!!!! by Curt_Anderson on March 16, 2025 5:31 pm "The pardons were effective beyond the date they were issued." --HtS So the pardoned Bidens have a 007-style "license to kill". So Hunter or his uncle could simply shoot and kill Trump and his cabinet without any repercussions. Problem solved. by oldedude on March 16, 2025 7:24 pm Curt- I already referenced this and cited. by oldedude on March 16, 2025 7:28 pm So you dont want to address my point. Got it. Navy- I think I've answered all your stupid fucking questions. Maybe you could be clearer? Maybe, like when you insulted us (then backed off and doubled down in the same post). Maybe you're smoking too much weed or crack. Doesn't matter which. Don't know don't care. When you have something legit, I'll answer. by oldedude on March 16, 2025 7:40 pm You two already tried that bullshit on the original thread and got slapped down. First, both you and curt are liars about this. I cleared it up and cited it. You're the one that's fucked up her. You're actually worse than indy. A racist, misogynist pig, homophobe, transphobe. And since I'm wrong on "everything" You don't mind the rape trees on the border, or the sex trade that you support buying your dope, do you? You don't understand that although most of them are female, they're bringing in more and more CHILDREN. I'll bet you jump with glee about that. It gives you more to pick from, right? by Navy2711 on March 17, 2025 5:48 pm "A racist, misogynist pig, homophobe, transphobe." You forgot "pedo". by oldedude on March 18, 2025 2:20 am I added that later. Thanks for putting it in for me. You just confirmed my worst hatred. And one I will never forget. So you admit your love for the little kids? Happy you admit to it. Can I get your address or URL? Homeland security would love breaking into your house to check out your computers looking for naked children. I'm hoping you go to jail so you get treated like you treat those children. You can be someone's little bitch, and eventually shanked to death. by Navy2711 on March 18, 2025 10:05 am With OD, the ratio of "number of words that cause a reaction" to the reaction itself is absolutely bonkers. I said three words, and this guy is wishing rape and death on me. by Navy2711 on March 18, 2025 12:59 pm Less than half a day has passed since OD said these things, and he doesn't remember it. He needs to get to a doctor and get diagnosed. selectsmart.com by Navy2711 on March 18, 2025 1:59 pm Bumped again for OD and Hate, who are currently fellating each other on another thread, pretending they don't see this. by oldedude on March 18, 2025 2:04 pm Your link has nothing to do with you🤣! by Navy2711 on March 18, 2025 2:13 pm OD, you going to answer the question? Here it is again: "Has anyone wished rape and murder on you, as you recently did to me?" Your answer to this will be in support of your assertion that you "treat people the way they treat you." by oldedude on March 18, 2025 2:27 pm indy You're nothing but a troll. I didn't say that. So fuck you. Until you quit trolling, I see no reason to communicate with you. Unless you're another sociopathic narcissist. by Navy2711 on March 18, 2025 2:42 pm OD, Can I get a clarification on that? Are you saying that you DIDN'T wish rape and murder on me? (Friendly reminder: You only have to scroll up on this very page to see where you absolutely DID wish rape and murder on me.) But can I please get a yes or no on this one? by oldedude on March 18, 2025 4:10 pm if you're a pedo, which if you claim you're exactly the opposite, of me, you are. by Navy2711 on March 18, 2025 4:32 pm Is that a yes or a no? Yes, you DID wish rape and death on me? Or no, you DIDN'T wish rape and death on me? (Again, this is an open book quiz. Just scroll up to March 18, 2025 2:20 am to see that YES, you DID wish rape and death on me.) Yes or no? by oldedude on March 18, 2025 4:33 pm by Navy2711 on March 15, 2025 3:40 pm Gas hasnt moved. Trump sets the gas prices. What's the holdup? As of March 10, 2025 (Which means you were whining about nothing. As usual, you troll Average U.S. Gas Prices Fall to Lowest March Level Since the Pandemic The nation’s average price of gasoline has fallen for the third straight week, declining 0.6 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $3.03 per gallon, according to GasBuddy® data compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.

The national average price of diesel has decreased 2.1 cents in the last week and stands at $3.608 per gallon. gasbuddy.com by oldedude on March 18, 2025 4:37 pm all you have to do is to read the post. If you're a pedophile (since I'm polar opposite of you), yes. If you're not a pedophile, it doesn't apply to you. That's what the post says. Last time I'm going to answer your stupid fucking accusations. by Navy2711 on March 18, 2025 4:43 pm OD, yes or no? by Navy2711 on March 19, 2025 8:23 am ^^^^^^^ OD ^^^^^^ Go To Top
