Trump and Consumer Prices

Earlier this week, gasoline prices out here in Central California took a one-day jump of $0.14, the largest single-day hike in memory. Today, another $0.12, for a total of $0.26 or a 6.5% increase in three days.

Not sure exactly what this means, but it doesn’t look promising for the working class Americans who re-elected Trump and who live paycheck-to-paycheck. Egg prices are high, but people can substitute dozens of different foodstuffs.  Won’t be as easy to substitute other fuels for gas and diesel.

The lower part of me says these idiots got exactly what they deserved, but the better part of me says I’m sorry that my country couldn’t have done a better job.
