MSNBC host Joy Reid said that the word "inflation" is “not part of the normal lexicon” for Americans, and that they are only concerned with the concept because Republicans have taught it to them for political gain.

I wonder if her audience will begin to fall away? I mean, she [i]did[/i] basically tell them they were too dumb to know what inflation means...🤣. In real world terms, she is telling people who can't afford to buy food now, when they could easily afford it two years ago, that they can't believe their lying growling tummies! 😠

@4meAndyou Look at who her audience is. Are they pro Biden and his policies? Are they believers in his economic policies that apparently Ms. Reid feels competed enough to speak on. If they are, hopefully their credit card debt is paid off or low. [image deleted]

@soar2newhighs I fear that many of us are USING those cards to pay for the increased costs.

@4meAndyou I do not disagree with you. And you are not alone.

@soar2newhighs I feel so sorry for many of my neighbors, people I know from my church, and people I know who are struggling.

People tend to talk to me. I met a grocery checker this afternoon who WAS homeless, and now works FIVE part time jobs. She is living in a kitchenette motel with a room mate who won't get a job. She said she HAS to do this, because it's that or the streets.

@4meAndyou I think I would get rid of the dead beat roommate.

@Baremine It's probably some lazy rotten guy living off her five jobs.
