they can only raise interest rates so much because of the $30 TRILLION cloud over the country - in the past, that is how they controlled inflation

I'd say buyer beware of his/her budget, but someone like you, someone who buys into Bidens bullshit, wouldn't care when he's being sodomized.
Energy prices up 33%, shelter costs going up, homeowner taxes went up, groceries up, used vehicles up 40%, groceries up, auto and homeowners insurance going up. Business raising costs to keep up... Let's go Brandon!

Hey...he's living the good life -- the American Dream. A single guy on a juicy pension and SS. Matters not to him if he pays 25 cents per egg or a buck an egg.

in the world today, you measure wealth by how much you owe. the United States leads the league in that department.
It's very simple, rich people get richer the more they owe.

Great rebuttal! Eggs are a good cheap source of protein. Someone is just using the cost of eggs as an example of out of control inflation on items the average person buys. Items like groceries and gasoline going way up hit poor people the hardest. Strange that a Democrat, from a party that is the champion of the poor, just chooses to look the other way or be in denial.
Of course if that doesn't work for you, you can always deflect.
