First of all, the entire bird flu that caused this was on Biden's watch, not Trumps, so is January Inflation number or any of those numbers. Are you that stupid. Every single metric under Biden went thru the roof, except some preferred class that got about 15% of his phony Student Loan Forgiveness scam.
Gas up here in Scranton Joe hometown (LOL all of 8 years) was up 45% the day he left office. Eggs were already up over $4.00, there is/was literally nothing Trump could do about the eggs, Biden killed the supply ..1.7M chickens and I am assuming that had to be done, so not even blaming him on that one. All my utilities were up over 20% prior to 1/1/25. Car Insurances are thru the roof. Water in our Town has literally doubled because of horrific deal done by Dem leadership in Lackawanna County. My water bill for 2 67 year olds is $230 a month now. And I never ever, shower at home, Y every day. Ecept holidays and weather closings. Dumped cable and went to local fiber and YouTube TV , then in one month YouTube TV jacked their rate $10 a month, lol.
Stop with the Trump blame for all this sh-t, it was and is not. Don't worry there will be other things to pick on, but this gripe just makes you look stupid and uninformed, the data was and is the data. Look it up.

Funny that Fox News would only select those 4 issues to post results from
Even funnier is Trumpers gobble it up and believe their orange god-king is beloved outside the cult.

Gary, I would love to see who the immediate down voters are, even when you or I post entirely factual stuff. The line about what has Trump done? At the very least, he has awakened people to the facts of how bad we were and are getting shafted. You would think that would be a univeral cause..but....NOPE lol.

What are the poll numbers on firing veterans at the VA or laying off nuclear safety personnel only to scramble to try to re-hire them?

Just deal with the facts and stop looking so stupid, none of what I posted is untrue.. it just looks trivial and small minded when people cannot agree to the economic facts that got Dems kicked out, now, they literally have no power, sing and waste time in the streets , it looks so pathetic, it must really suck to be this far gone as a party. They have nothing.

Hey Trumpers,
You know how you spent months congratulating Trump on his brilliant selfless policy proposal of not taxing tips and overtime?
You remember right? You even said it was proof positive that Trump is not racist and is a President for all people including low income service people.
Guess what is missing from his budget proposal?
You guessed it.

The weird thing about this to me is that I'd expect some of those numbers to be much higher.
I mean, I fall into the Lib category here and I'm OK with #1 and #2. Most people I know are fine with that.
#3, eh, oil and gas production are already at all time highs. So this isn't relevant to me.
#4 is more of a political stunt, but whatever.
I'd have expected #1 and #2 to be at 80% or higher. So this is odd to me.

As a Republican Trump shill lol, I would agree with you on some of your points . Nancy just a note, Biden and company left SPR below 45% , when they drained it for sale to China...they said they would replenish at price of Crudeat $72 or below, it has been there over ten times since then 10 times, not one refill. LNG alone , seriously could bail us out of a huge hole, and we have a ton of that beyond belief.

This thinking seems reasonable. However, I noticed that the anti-Joe crowd mostly did not share your view. Pretty much anything and everything bad that happened during Biden's four years was ascribed to him.
I don't think it was reasonable, for instance, to have blamed President Trump for the unemployment rate's having gotten to nearly 15% in 2020; that was Covid. BUT given that he spent four years trying to take personal credit for almost every good thing that happened, in the markets and elsewhere, AND that he and his fans blamed Biden for the inflation that was ALSO caused by Covid--and which was actually less in the U.S. than in any other developed country--I can understand why people now are "crediting" President Trump with any of the bad stuff that's happening. Sauce for the goose, etc.

That poll for deporting immigrants here illegally is low. Much higher than 60%. ICE and border patrol are doing work! Feels great to have a secure border and having these hard-working men and women of ICE taking out the Trash. America!
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a criminal alien Feb. 11 who was previously convicted of secretly recording others in the bathroom.
ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations Houston arrested Daniel Alejandro Tristan-Guerra, a 28-year-old criminal alien from Mexico, in Hallettsville and he was taken to the Victoria County Jail for processing.“The residents in Southeast Texas can rest easier today knowing this predator has been removed from the community,” said ICE HSI Houston Special Agent in Charge Chad Plantz. “Working alongside our partners in Lavaca County, ICE HSI special agents were able to safely apprehend him when his guard was down and minimize any threat to the public.”
Tristan-Guerra was convicted Aug. 23, 2021, on two counts of invasive visual recording in a bathroom following an investigation by ICE HSI Houston and the Victoria County Sheriff’s Office.

Some context from S&P Global, 11/8/24:
The administration of US President Joe Biden has completed what it called its "final" purchase of crude oil in its efforts to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the US Department of Energy announced.
The purchase of 2.4 million barrels not only completes DOE's most recent solicitation, DOE said in its release, but ends the administration's attempts to replace the 180 million barrels of crude it released into the market in 2022.
"With the awarding of these contracts, DOE has fully utilized all funding allocated for crude oil purchases following the sale of 180 million barrels in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and secured 20 million more barrels at a good price for taxpayers," US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm said in a statement. "This milestone cements President Biden and Vice President [Harris's] commitment of putting the economic and energy security of the American people first with actions that steadied prices at the pump, provided certainty to industry, and maintained the SPR as the world's largest supply of emergency crude oil."
To date, the DOE has directly purchased 59 million barrels of oil at an average price of $76/b. Alongside the cancellation of congressionally mandated sales of 140 million barrels, DOE has now accounted for more barrels than it sold in 2022. DOE said the 200 million barrels delivered were contracted at an average price of $74.75/b.
That 2022 sale -- taken in response to global energy price spikes in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine -- was made at an average cost of $95/b. The Biden administration has consistently touted its buyback strategy as a "good deal for taxpayers."
Analysis from US Treasury Department has argued that the US' releases, alongside those of international partners, reduced gasoline prices by as much as 40 c/gallon. Republicans on Capitol Hill have criticized the Biden administration for reducing US emergency energy security and politicizing the US strategic reserve, while US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm has noted that the US stockpile remains the world's largest.
According to the US Energy Information Administration, the SPR held 387.2 million barrels as of Nov. 1. When Biden was inaugurated in January 2021, the SPR held 638 million barrels. [That is, the stock on 11/1/24 was 61%, not 45%, of what it was on 1/20/21.]
While DOE's announcement marked the end of Biden's crude trading efforts, SPR purchases could resume in 2025. President-elect Donald Trump criticized the Biden administration's strategy and vowed to "immediately refill" the SPR if he was elected to a second term. [All emphases mine.]- The pre-election promise of US President Donald Trump to refill the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is facing a myriad of challenges, needing to add 320 million barrels to make good on the vow to ‘fill it to the very top’.
- Any large-scale refilling spree would mean immediate upward pressure for oil prices, which would stand in contrast with Trump’s pledge to lower energy costs, with the Biden Administration aiding oil with some 59 million barrels of purchases in 2024.
- Moreover, congressionally mandated sales prescribe further drawdowns of 99.6 million barrels and as of now, there is no budget allocated for SPR replenishments so Trump would need to wait for Congress to approve additional expenses in the next budget reconciliation process.
- The fastest that SPR has been filled up historically was 365,000 b/d in the COVID-stricken month of June 2020, suggesting that the highest monthly purchases that Trump could carry out would be around 10 million barrels.[Emphases mine.]In other words, it would seem that POTUS--any POTUS--has Congressional limitations on how fast s/he could refill the SPR, especially at a decent price. Reasonable people couldn't expect President Trump to do more than start the refilling upon inauguration, rather than topping it off on Day One. But he did, while campaigning, repeatedly use the word "immediately"; has the process even begun? That's a serious question whose answer I don't know. Is the current administration's DOE working with Congress to get the funding to refill the SPR?
