Gas prices have risen 64.5%

Since Donald Trump started the Iran War gas prices have risen 64.5%. Gas prices where I live were at a low of $2.79 and now have reach the high of $4.59 a gallon. And food and household items have also continued to increase in price. Donald Trump has caused higher inflation when he said he would lower inflation. And he said United States would not enter any wars when he has entered a war with Iran. How many of you Trump supporters still support Donald Trump?

Yep. This week-old AAA data, showing a 50% increase in 3 months, is now out of date!

High energy prices, specifically oil price shocks, have been a contributing factor to roughly 4 to 6 major U.S. recessions in the last 50 years. Nearly all post-World War II recessions saw preceding oil price spikes, with major examples including the 1973–75 oil embargo, the 1979–80 energy crisis, the 1990–91 Gulf War recession, and the 2007–2008 financial crisis.
