I eat out often for work and my company picks up the tab. Part of why I didn’t notice for awhile.
I went to buy eggs and they were like 12 dollars. I could have swore eggs were a lot cheaper in the past.
I eat more hamburgers than I should and that’s where I’ve started to notice the crazy pricing. Like you said you could get a burger and beer for under 20. I use to pay 20 with tip and the tip was over 20%.
I’m a republican but we need to seriously raise the minimum wage.
Uh, you might wanna consider if being a Republican is more important to you than not living in a country full of homeless starving people is before you cast your next vote.
Most of your fellow Republicans believe deep down in the abolishment of the minimum wage, and are adamantly against ever raising it again.
That’s more of a myth. You do not see that in the party platform. Historically they’re been concerned about the inflation risk with raising minimum wage.
Inflation is so bad now, someone needs to do something. Neither party is addressing the issue.
Every single Senate Republican voted against raising the minimum wage to $15, all but 3 House Republicans did the same. It wasn’t really a surprise political result to anyone, nor will it be surprising when they all vote against it again.
Historically they’re been concerned about the inflation risk with raising minimum wage.
So inflation is bad already. They blame rising wages for inflation, and you think they’re going to raise the minimum wage? Why? Is there something in the party platform about raising the minimum wage?
I highly doubt there is, and I highly doubt that if they got more power that that’s what they’d do.
Yeah and how far did that get? I see it was “announced” in 2021. He pass it? He even really do anything besides a press conference?
I’ll expect it to pass at exactly the same time as Trump’s replacement for Obamacare. 😉
I pay attention to what Republicans are “trying to get done”. That’s the problem is that I pay attention to it. They always find a way to speak big on things for working people and then get in office and pass tax cuts for their millionaire donors.

I can’t do that anymore.
Man some things have really hit the “I mean, it’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost? $10?” levels of ridiculousness price wise.
Since I buy almost the same thing. I don’t pay attention to the cost per item. I just watch the total at the end.
My groceries went from about 80 a week to about 150-180 a week.
I have no clue how the average family is handling this. It’s become so insane even I’ve noticed.
I’m a republican but we need to seriously raise the minimum wage. There is no way anyone can survive on it.
It’s almost 14 here and you can’t survive on that.

Guess you don’t actually read what republicans are trying to get done. You just want to say republicans bad.
I’m not a fan of Hawley for other reasons but he’s been pushing a lot of good ideas when it comes to the middle class.

He can’t pass it. He can only propose it and submit it for vote. It’s a process.
He also just submitted limiting interest rates on credit cards.
Ah yes the myth that the people who pay most in taxes don’t deserve any relief. The wealthy pay more than their fair share in taxes.
Under Trump my taxes went up. I’m not going to complain about it. It’s life.
