I'm not one of those that thinks Trump will immediately get prices and gas/groceries etc all the way back down to what they used to be. However, I do expect prices to come down...how far down is the question? He is going to drill for gas and oil here in the country so one would think products in that arena will come down? I'm interested to see what happens in various areas the first 6-12 months.

You may know more about crude oil than I do. But US drillers need at least $70 a barrel to break even, it was at $80.19 when i looked about an hour ago that is making a profit but not a big one.
Drill baby drill want work, at lowing prices because they can't sell it for less than $70 and stay in business, unless you can somehow take it off the world trade market and use it hear and save on shipping it. I'm not sure that even helps enough.

Eggs have been really high.

The low point on gas during Trumps first term was Jan 2019 @ $2.17. (In 2020 when no one was buying gas it was lower I don't remember the price)

The high point was IN June 2022 @ $3.89.

Lowest since 2020 was Nov. 2024 @ $2.29

$2.49 right now.

Gas went up today to $2.49, was $2.39. Eggs have been up and down for two years with whatever that sickness is that been killing hens, all over the southwest and mid-west. They were back down some last week $2.50 but as high as $4.50 some weeks.


On the gas we are always at least .50 to .75 less than the national average.

Interesting...there is also some kind of egg shortage that I have seen info posted at the grocery stores the past week or 2?

Based on what you just posted, gas is up ~60% and eggs up anywhere between ~60-300% in your area since Trump's first term....

[jackpot269]

What are the current prices for gas and eggs in your area?

Gas here is around $4(was closer to $4.50 until recently) and eggs are $4 minimum upwards of $10-12 for organic

Speak the truth, lowest gas here under Trump 1st term was $2.17. Eggs were never lower than $1.50, and they may not have been that low.

I guess the same guy who had gas prices at under 2 dollars. Eggs under a dollar. The guy who brought Corporations back to America to give AMERICANS jobs. The same guy who got rid of the Democrats attempt to take over America and destroy it. The same guy who made other countries pay their fair share in business with America. The same guy who had the safest American border EVER..

THE SAME GUY WHO WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

I not sure where you live, but gas prices are usually among the lowest in the nation here. They were never under $2 during Trumps 1st term. Eggs were never under a dollar either. Can you give me a link on that safest border ever.

What corporations did he bring back?

I hope he gets gas prices to way under $2. Here they are $2.39 now. Oops went up a dime $2.49 now.

I'm ready for those type of gas prices (well under $2) and 50% cheaper food at the store.

I wish him luck and success on those two fronts.

yes it does show how much I care about people. The opposite of the false narrative you once again are trying to push. Argentina has been run by loser politicians for years, just like America the last 4 and Canada the last 10.

Milei has done an amazing job since he was elected 2 years ago. You keep cheering for failure and that shows how much you actually care about people.

LOL, Half the country didn't live in poverty before Milei. A government surplus isn't always a good thing, it means he's cutting programs that help people. He's also cutting jobs and enriching himself. Just like America the next 4 years. Workers are making less money because the rich are running the country. It's not even capitalism its cronyism.

So quit lying and twisting words saying you care about people. You care about rich people like you.

[DwightShrute]

Yea I don't think half a country living in poverty compares to 5 incomplete passes. What a shitty analogy. Shows how much you care about people.

Your right Trump can do it the next 4 years. He is the one trying to give the corporations everything. Who lowered their tax rate from 35% to 21%?

What was the child mortality rate in 1870? How many paved roads were there. How much was spent on defense. How many rockets went to the moon or mars and so on. How many fighter planes? and so on.

You are absolutely wrong about the rate. I'm all about tax breaks for corporations. You start out with about a 40% to 50% rate. Then you get breaks for things you do. You don't get them just because.

Put money in communities get a break. Hire employees get a break and so on. You don't get a break, and we hope you will do the right thing. Thats trickle down and it don't work. It didn't work in the 80's or any other time in our history.

again, the government and its civil servants take in more than enough in taxes to protect the citizens (both foreign and domestic) and take care of the needy. They government are addicted to spending. There is very little accountability and its super easy to spend other people's' money. I am sure if you and I can were paid a couple hundred grand with ton tons of perks, we could waste trillions of dollars over a given period of time. I know I could.

No reason the tax code should be over 70,000 pages. I am gonna go out on a limb and say you agree with me on that.

It should be even lower than 21%. Same with personal income tax.

Don't forget that Lincoln implemented income tax of 5% as a temporary measure to raise money for the civil war if memory serves. After the war, it was dropped.

And yet there are people who still believe, to this day, that affirmative action and DEI aren't racist. What happened to these people?

Affirmative action and DEI are the definition of racism. It's not just an opinion. They are literally judging human beings by the color of their skin. Imagine if a person of color applied to be a firefighter and was told it will take 7 years, while a White person could apply on Wednesday. How would that go over?

Hopefully this last election will continue to restoration of decency and common sense throughout the country, and others around the globe, and end this insanity once and for all.

The Democrats number one candidate is running things down there. AOC must be telling herself ''Burn baby Burn'' as she moves up in the rankings as a candidate. Yup, there comes a point where you just cannot lie and hide your hypocrisy.

Former "Dancing with the Stars" professional dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy aired grievances on social media Wednesday, writing, "5th largest economy on the planet. Firefighters didn't have enough water pressure to do their jobs?! Are you joking me?! The taxes we pay for 3rd world infrastructure is unbelievable?! Come on."

Sara Foster wrote on X, We pay the highest taxes in California. Our fire hydrants were empty. Our vegetation was overgrown, brush not cleared. Our reservoirs were emptied by our governor because tribal leaders wanted to save fish. Our fire department budget was cut by our mayor. But thank god drug addicts are getting their drug kits. @MayorOfLA @GavinNewsom RESIGN. Your far left policies have ruined our state. And also our party."
