WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday showed how he had learned to stop worrying about inflation and simply, in his own words, “love” it.
Asked about the new report that the consumer price index in May had jumped 4.2% over the last year, the president took a surprisingly optimistic tack with the challenging news. Trump didn’t dismiss the affordability issue as a “hoax” that was started by Democrats, as he has done previously. Nor did he claim that he was bringing down the cost of living.
Instead, after the government said that inflation spiked to the highest level since April 2023, Trump praised the numbers.
Indeed. But, if people have money for stickers, I’d encourage them to consider donating it to a food bank instead.
Political protest is the only way to effect any kind of change. You can certainly argue, how effective some stickers on a gas pump can be. But I don’t think donating the money to compensate for the negligence of the government you’re protesting against will be more effective. One might even argue that’s counterproductive.
It’s not my job to make up for government spending. I voted to help those people with tax dollars. Most of the country didn’t. This is the society we’ve collectively decided to build and now we all have to live in it.
Ofcourse! The country of Australia only uses stickers as currency.
