Americans are so spoiled and incapable of accepting any level of inconvenience, that prices have no incentive to he moderated. Stop buying $60,000 trucks that you only need in your mind and the cost of those trucks will drop. Instead, too many simply tack on more debt and then complain. The new American way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no magic lever to be pulled. The point being there will be no meaningful lever being pulled to stem inflation during an election year. Adding additional debt by means of student loan forgiveness won’t help although depleting our strategic oil reserves might be a band aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
