So Democrats started Iraq and Afghanistan? Democrats bailed out GM and the banks? What in the world are you talking about? It's all of them.

If you really think about where we are heading economically and governmentally, it should shake you to your core. It can't be fixed.

Afghanistan started Afghanistan. They got off lighter than rated. Tora Bora should have been leveled and no "escape to Pakistan" allowed to take place.

I travel around the world for work. Been to the largest cities in South and Central America. All around Europe. India. Hong Kong. Singapore. Australia. The US is THE gold standard. Don't care what any talking head says.

Singapore is very impressive though.

That's been true forever. Things get more expensive. They aren't getting more expensive at the same rate they were during the Biden disaster. I retired 18 months ago so I'm more aware of what things cost and I'm not seeing things I need to buy that catch my attention because of price increases.

Yes, your post is a joke.

It's precisely because of the hardships of life that I can make fun of you. When you're drinking powdered milk and spending your last dime to buy beans as your meal, come in back.

The gall of coming here to whine about your frufru milk getting more expensive, as if you're truly feeling the crush every day Americans are.

---

Say it louder for those in the back. I could share stories of what I have seen on the streets. Those people could only wish to have actually milk. Crying about organic milk was not on my 2025 bingo card. Yet here we are 3 pages deep about milk. F16 really has it all.

---

My point wasn't boo hoo that I had to pay so much for organic milk. It was that the price has increased nearly $3. It was the only thing I bought and the price shocked me. Usually I'm in such a hurry buying things that you might find acceptable that I don't figure the price increase.

Regardless, the point stands. Things a much more expensive now than in the past.

---

Because we are printing money to pay for entitlements. There is no other solution but to gut them.

Of that is not doable, everything else is just mental masturbation. Insulate your family and wait for the collapse.

Bull****

Maybe not everything, but in my trips to HEB (for example), I've seen a LOT of things jump significantly since Trump took office this past January.

Hill Country Fare 2 liters, for example, were $1.00 before Trump ****ed up the COVID response and started us down the inflationary spiral that Biden turned to eleventy. Over those 3 yrs or so, they went up to $1.28 IIRC and stuck there a while. I just noticed that, even though I don't buy them, they're eye-level for me and have gone way up to $1.78.

I've seen similar since Trump took office.

I don't trust the govt CPI numbers, I do trust my eyes. ****'s STILL increasing at a rapidass rate. As it will since he's done jack and **** about it with all of his idiotic tariff bull***** Gas is still higher than it should be if we really went "HAM" on domestic drilling.

Concentrate on the U.S.

**** Syria. **** Israel. F e'rybody else. We need to fix us.

2% milk was over 3 bucks for most of the Bidens four years and came down to where it is since Trump took office.

No they don't. Republicans can end the filibuster. Right now. But they don't because they're either morons, cowards, or traitors in of themselves.

Democrats think it's war and you have multiple left leaning groups literally calling for violence and the killing of political rivals.

Meanwhile, Republicans seem to think there's still an amicable debate going on, and are fixated on the idea that if they end the filibuster, the Democrats will do the same when they get into power (spoiler alert: they're already going to do that).

It's the perfect example of one side playing to win, and the other side playing to not lose.

This has been the case for years with Republicansthey're given power they refuse to use.

Meanwhile, give a Democrat an inch and they'll turn it into a mile real quick.

Unless Republicans grow a spine and a brain, this country's screwed. Democrats will regain power and ram everything through without any regard to the law or constitution, and Republicans will still be wondering why they're not coming to the table to debate.

I work hard for my money and I'm entitled to spend it however I wish. The point is not the price I paid for milk, the point is that the price has skyrocketed from what I paid.

How much did your Soy Milk cost the previous four years?

Quote:

---

"Joe Biden has a historic opportunity to be a great president," Summer said. "But I think they should learn the lesson of the Johnson administration's errors that elected Richard Nixon and the Carter administration's errors that elected Ronald Reagan."

Summers argued that the magnitude of today's federal policy positions are greater than the ones that set off runaway inflation in the late 1960s. And he voiced concern about the stability of the US dollar.

"We are printing money, we are creating government bonds, we are borrowing on unprecedented scales," Summers said. "Those are things that surely create more of a risk of a sharp dollar decline than we had before. And sharp dollar declines are much more likely to translate themselves into inflation than they were historically."

---

Larry Summers warned you back in 2021. OP would have better been served addressing his concerns to the dementia-ridden pedophile serving as POTUS.

In 24 hours, we've gotten three different melodramatic posts regarding:

My Korean buddy, the immigrant detained by those bad people who are finally enforcing Federal immigration laws.

My son, the perfect federal employee who shouldn't have to suffer through a furlough.

And...

My organic milk, produced by Amish farmers working in the Peruvian hills using grass fed dairy cows drinking from artesian wells of pure water, costs too much!

These posts are nauseating considering they indicate a complete lack of awareness of the previous four years and who was running this country, laughing while Americans were raped by illegals, told to learn to code after losing their jobs and mocked as stimulus and Green New Deal policies increased their costs across the board.

Every problem you described is a direct result of the dems and the left.

This is the problem with this convo. Complaining about the cost of organic milk is being chided as being out of touch with the beans and powdered milk crowd by someone who has an association/12thman tag a diamond and 2 stars for Billy's board.

I think the real problem is OP has a meltdown about the cost of organic milk. Sounds like OP has a very privileged life. I wonder if OP was able to sleep at last night given the stress of organic milk prices

Also if OP doesn't pay he and his family's fair share of taxes he should be thanking people that do.

When those critics of OP put up a pathos-ridden, Pajama Boy whine-fest regarding their own extravagances, then you will have a point.



I really, really have sympathy for OP and his suffering over the increased cost of his super-special milk.

What are we ever going to do?

Maybe Biden will win the White House again. That way his milky will be really, really cheap!

I love ice cream and whole milk, but they sure don't love me back.

Can't you feel his pain? I mean the struggle is real. First class seats have gone up 15% over the last month. I may have to fly business class instead. Not sure how I will survive such a horrific experience

We know who killed MLK and JFK.

This reminded my of something I read last year. It's paywalled now, but it links your milk issue directly with immigration policies at the end of your post..

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/15/magazine/milk-industry-undocumented-immigrants.html#:~:text=When%20I%20mentioned%20to%20Pete,we%20could%20get%20it%20done.%E2%80%9D

This quote struck me at the time, and seems relevant to the original question:

When I mentioned to Pete Wiersma, the president of the Idaho Dairymen's Association and no relation to Peter, that I'd read a study predicting that the price of milk would nearly double if foreign-born workers were removed from the industry, he shook his head.

"I don't think there would be milk," Wiersma said. "I just don't think we could get it done."

---

This is a conundrum that people avoid. If this is true (and it is for many things), then your options are the following:

1. Stop illegal immigration and likely see price increases across a variety of consumer products and services which will simply be a new higher normal. (Note: this is same outcome if/when we near-shore or on-shore manufacturing).

2. Open illegal immigration back up, lower consumer prices, but then accelerate the country's demise in other areas because Dems get a voting advantage and costs for big ticket items rise - insurance, healthcare, etc.

Give me #1 all day long.

I'm not ignorant to the irony in the statement. I'm not a lavish spender and pretty frugal in many respects. I don't have new cars - they're paid for. My house is paid for. I don't travel very much or take lavish vacations. But I enjoy milk and so do my kids. And if I'm going to drink it, I'm going to drink what I like. I'm sure many here would not trade their high dollar bourbon for rot gut.

The point I was making is that inflation is soaring.

Inflation is running at about 3.0%. Everyone would rather have it less than 2.0%, but it's definitely not "soaring".
