Let's also blame the insurance companies for our Opioid Crisis! My insurance refuses to fill lidocaine patches, and the only option left for me are opioids, the one medication my pain doctor agreed to not prescribe but are now forced to the denial of a medication that was working, lidocaine.
I am so sorry. Lidocaine is so simple and very useful v.s. opeoids and all the issues, even if you aren't going to get addicted, the side effects are not worth it for long periods. Depending on why you need it, if it's body pain, that lidocaine roll-on stick instead of the icy hot for muscles, pain, ect, is something I am very thankful for.

If the general inflation rate decreases from 3% to 2%, it still means average prices are increasing 2% per year. Inflation (%) and prices ($) are 'obviously' two different things.
What year did anything ever go down in price? It's generally known that everything goes up in price every year regardless of who's president. That's bc our capitalist economy is one of supply & demand, with prices set by sellers & providers of products & services, not by the executive or any other branch of government. Co-vid interrupted the supply chain, customer demand declined. When co-vid subsided, businesses raised prices to compensate for lost revenue & most haven't lowered them since & are simply price-gouging.
Well done NBC, your coverage tonight on Trump and Harris was well balanced, and your coverage on inflation is good at pointing out that overall prices are still high.

Trump constantly saying that Kamala isn't smart, yet he's the one who can't see the difference between "no taxes on tips or social security" and "no taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers." Just to be clear, I'll spell it out. Trump's statement is too broad and too easily abused. If there are no taxes on tips period, then most businesses could easily switch to a tipping model to avoid taxes altogether, even big businesses like lawyers could technically work for tips. And since it's apparently legal for restaurants to charge mandatory tips on the bills, why would it be any different for a lawyer to simply turn his fees into mandatory tips? Instant loop hole, too easy. Kamala is verbally restricting these tax-free tips to service and hospitality workers, the places where you expect low wages and living on tips, where it would be much harder to abuse. In all likelihood, there will probably be a maximum by the time such a thing becomes a law, making it even harder to exploit it. As for why Kamala hasn't committed to not taxing social security, I watched a lawyer explain that one. If you remove the taxes on social security, that only benefits the wealthy. Most people who are living on social security don't make enough to have it taxed in the first place, and the point at which you would have it taxed is already high enough that it shouldn't hurt the people paying taxes on it. So what he's really saying is that he'll make it so that rich people don't have to pay those taxes, and in doing so rob the program of millions of dollars that will instead have to be made up somewhere else. Last I heard his plan was to raise taxes on imports from other countries, including food, so basically the rich won't have to pay for their taxes but the average American will pay more for groceries to compensate for it. Great plan, Donny boy. No notes.
Trump didn't even know the name of the White House. Seriously, in an Easter speech, he said they sometimes call it the Tippy Top building. How can he call anyone else dumb??
Inflation at its lowest in three years? That is laughable. I went to Costco and Walmart today, and I can tell you with 100% certainty that my receipt does reflect lower prices. It's all bs and greed!
If the general inflation rate decreases from 3% to 2%, it still means average prices are increasing 2% per year. Inflation (%) and prices ($) are 'obviously' two different things.
Where do they get these numbers from? I just went to the store today and something I bought less than 2 months ago was $2.99, it is now $6.15! Please state your sources!
Uh, no. It's all smoke and mirrors with statistic measuring methods. And whose wages are growing??? Not mine! Maybe it's California fast food employees?
I like to use this example. If everyone had a million dollars how much would a gallon of milk cost? Under trump we printed 7.8 trillion but most of that went to the rich.
Everything has gone up and they raised money for the campaign in record numbers but where is that effort to raise money for the benefits of low income Americans. Where is that effort for veterans and the elderly. Where is that effort for the homeless!

No, what's funny is people like you thinking that prices ever go down from one year to the next, when they know very well they consistently go up each year, regardless of who's president. Co-vid caused inflation all over the world bc it interrupted the supply chain & consumer demand declined. When the pandemic was over, businesses raised prices to compensate for lost profits & have been price gouging ever since. There are three branches of government, which one tells your grocer, gas station, insurance company, banker, landlord what to charge their customers, Legislative, Judicial or Executive? None of them.
I think when we look at prices, we also need to look at Savings' interest and the stock market increases.. your savings should be like 4%...and just the dow Jones since 2019 has gone up 54%, for example, if you invested in dow in 2019 $100 you woild have $230.77 today.. so if you're not living, pay check to pay, check, and have a 401k and savings. You should have more money than any year prior.. I know not every American has stocks or savings.. but if you do, you should have quite a lot more ..also if you own a home it should be significantly increased in value.. many people forget that's part of your equation when you look at how much things cost .. and how the economy is going..
CPI coming to 2.9 is NOT saying prices will go down. They'll just not increase as rapidly. That is so nonsense for the already struggling families. This is HALF TRUTH. Full truth is PRICES ARE NOT COMING DOWN.
Mr. Trump should heed Nikki Haley’s advice. Stop with the childish name calling and stop with the foolish ‘my crowds are bigger than any in history’ Learn what bi-racial means and move on. Nobody wants a buffoon to run the country.
Housing up 22%? My rent has more than doubled since the pandemic. In 2019 my rent was $600. Today it is $1400. In January it will be $1500. It has gone up 8 times in five years not counting next January. My food cost has gone from $30 a week to $50 a week. I have not been able to afford a car in all that time. My healthcare has almost doubled in five years. I don't know where NBC or the government get's it's numbers but the are WAY off. In 2019 Housing was 32% of my gross income. Today housing is 70% of my gross income. In January it will be 75% of my gross income. That will leave me with no money for groceries my next biggest expense. I'm not the only one. I have multiple coworkers who are renting homes three + families each. One is renting a 3 bedroom hone with four families and a total of 18 people in 800 square feet sharing one bathroom with rent being $5300 a month in the hood for a low quality home.

@@maurits2597California is too large for one gas price, and there are 3 different octanes available (87, 89, and 91). And each local/city economy isn't identical; local prices adjust to what the local economy can bear along with volume. And ... gasoline distribution costs vary - cheaper cost and more volume to huge cities versus driving a tanker 90 miles down highway 1 to fill one gas station, for example. There's simply too much comparing apples to bananas in physically distant and volume-based prices. This is why everyone should be educated in high school on basic economics (if they're not sleeping).

Inflation is down (a little). But it's still way inflated. And, prices won't go down. Bet some will still go up. And then, minimum wage will be increased some months later. Only to have the cost of everything go up again. Which puts the minimum wagers back to where they were. But...makes it a little more costly fpr us that made a little more than minimum. And didn't get raises to accomidate the cost of living going up. We need the inflation AND, costs to go way down.

OBVIOUS LIES about Inflation !!!
Inflation is the lowest??? In what world is NBC reporting???
It is reporting what was announced.
Inflation is lowering, not prices. It's like when you slow down in your car - that doesn't mean you go backwards. You're just not going as fast.
Its not Just NBC. Check other news sources. They are reporting it too
The real world that is based on facts and data and not just peoples' feelings.

Inflation at its lowest in three years? That is laughable. I went to Costco and Walmart today, and I can tell you with 100% certainty that my receipt does reflect lower prices. It's all bs and greed!
It takes time for inflation to trickle down........
Calling people names is a true bully move. I don't like bullies.
Inflation has dropped 😂yeah right
If the general inflation rate decreases from 3% to 2%, it still means average prices are increasing 2% per year. Inflation (%) and prices ($) are 'obviously' two different things.
Until they don't have a price gouging patrol on all States cities and counties all these businesses are going to keep price gouging
We're all been exploited..
Where do they get these numbers from? I just went to the store today and something I bought less than 2 months ago was $2.99, it is now $6.15! Please state your sources!
Uh, no. It's all smoke and mirrors with statistic measuring methods. And whose wages are growing??? Not mine! Maybe it's California fast food employees?
Inflation is down meanwhile eggs and milk cost $5 or more 😒 what a joke!
Why do people have to cut spending when the government's endless printing of money that it sends out of the country is the problem
And you know this how?
The dollar isn't being mismanaged. Believe it or not, currency is constantly being removed and added to circulation.
@@user-xn2zu3fn6dAnyone who took an economics class.
I like to use this example. If everyone had a million dollars how much would a gallon of milk cost? Under trump we printed 7.8 trillion but most of that went to the rich.
Why do you put up with corporate greed similar to crackheads except it's money and they are making us all codependents...

Trump calling someone not smart is ironic.
..the better term is "hypocritical"
I remember that great tome of American literature by Sen Al Franken. Lies and The Lying Liars That Tell Them. I think of that book every time Trump opens his cesspool of a mouth.

Most of the inflation came from greedy price gauging!
Wrong, big budget deficits causes the Fed to print more money 💵 that causes big inflation.
Government greed which caused big deficits that caused the Fed to print extra money 💵 that caused inflation.

1. Kamala Harris reduced credit card late fees from $32 to $8.💙
2. Kamala's reduction of junk fees at the banks saves Americans $5.5 billion annually.💙
3. Kamala's elimination of airline junk fees saves Americans $500 million annually.
4. Kamala reduced the price of 41 prescription medicines for low-income Americans and the elderly. 💙
5. Kamala provided health insurance to 20 million poor Americans who have never had medical care before.💙
And people still can't afford to eat and pay the rent! EXCEPT the migrants.....that's cost belongs to us!
@@stevepackard8542 And also, KAMALA voted and passed three important laws after a 50-50 tie in the Senate:
6.1. The COVID economic relief for low-income Americans. 💙
6.2. The American Rescue Plan Act for small-business owners.
6.3. The Inflation Reduction Act. 💙 Thanks to Kamala, meal prices in fast-food restaurants are going down, for the first time in 3 years.
@@hughjorg4008bot
republicans blocked some of these but yes this is where Kamala's head is at. It's a shame republicans worked hard to tank a few of these.
@hughjorg4008 please stop the propaganda the inflation reduction act Is nothing to be proud of please look into the bills instead of just listening to the title these bills have maybe 40% going towards what they are named and the other 60% go to complete garbadge that the u.s cannot afford inflation reducing to 3% is normal what is not normal is cost of groceries being up 25% the cost of insurance being up 52 percent this wreckless spending must stop we are rapidly de valuing the dollar
Because we're broke. Thats why the economy is cooling.
You continue to give Trump too much airtime. He is getting free ads off of you.
It’s news.
It’s funny how democrats trying to turn this around.People aren’t stupid anymore.It’s gonna take a long time to recover.Damage is already done.
No, what's funny is people like you thinking that prices ever go down from one year to the next, when they know very well they consistently go up each year, regardless of who's president. Co-vid caused inflation all over the world bc it interrupted the supply chain & consumer demand declined. When the pandemic was over, businesses raised prices to compensate for lost profits & have been price gouging ever since. There are three branches of government, which one tells your grocer, gas station, insurance company, banker, landlord what to charge their customers, Legislative, Judicial or Executive? None of them.
😂“Fake News In Da House”😂
I think when we look at prices, we also need to look at Savings' interest and the stock market increases.. your savings should be like 4%...and just the dow Jones since 2019 has gone up 54%, for example, if you invested in dow in 2019 $100 you woild have $230.77 today.. so if you're not living, pay check to pay, check, and have a 401k and savings. You should have more money than any year prior.. I know not every American has stocks or savings.. but if you do, you should have quite a lot more ..also if you own a home it should be significantly increased in value.. many people forget that's part of your equation when you look at how much things cost .. and how the economy is going..
I didn't feel richer when you were President, but had more money in my account when Biden became President.
CPI coming to 2.9 is NOT saying prices will go down. They'll just not increase as rapidly. That is so nonsense for the already struggling families.
This is HALF TRUTH. Full truth is PRICES ARE NOT COMING DOWN.

Housing up 22%? My rent has more than doubled since the pandemic. In 2019 my rent was $600. Today it is $1400. In January it will be $1500. It has gone up 8 times in five years not counting next January. My food cost has gone from $30 a week to $50 a week. I have not been able to afford a car in all that time. My healthcare has almost doubled in five years. I don't know where NBC or the government get's it's numbers but the are WAY off. In 2019 Housing was 32% of my gross income. Today housing is 70% of my gross income. In January it will be 75% of my gross income. That will leave me with no money for groceries my next biggest expense. I'm not the only one. I have multiple coworkers who are renting homes three + families each. One is renting a 3 bedroom hone with four families and a total of 18 people in 800 square feet sharing one bathroom with rent being $5300 a month in the hood for a low quality home.
I just paid $6 for a gallon of milk .. they are lying straight to our faces... Lol😂
If the general inflation rate decreases from 3% to 2%, it still means average prices are increasing 2% per year. Inflation (%) and prices ($) are 'obviously' two different things.
I only pay 3.77 per gallon in California.
The store where you bought milk is price gouging.
@@hopscotchc6nOr they simply have higher local costs
@@maurits2597California is too large for one gas price, and there are 3 different octanes available (87, 89, and 91). And each local/city economy isn't identical; local prices adjust to what the local economy can bear along with volume. And ... gasoline distribution costs vary - cheaper cost and more volume to huge cities versus driving a tanker 90 miles down highway 1 to fill one gas station, for example. There's simply too much comparing apples to bananas in physically distant and volume-based prices. This is why everyone should be educated in high school on basic economics (if they're not sleeping).
I always look forward to Lester Holt misquoting Trump, like, "Today Trump says he hates Vets." Actual quote by Trump: "I prefer one award over another." Lester was not even close! Which is your favorite Trump misquote from Lester. They are hilarious!

Was tips ever taxed?

A few years ago they started 16% of total income on tips...reported income 😅😅😅😅😅.

Yes they started taxing tips year's ago
Most persons working for tips don't pay taxes anyway. They don't earn enough.

Inflation is at 2.9%haha. This is how elections are done 😢
People may be punished but to punish someone in recovery is unconscionable and crazy.😢
Inflation is down (a little). But it's still way inflated. And, prices won't go down. Bet some will still go up. And then, minimum wage will be increased some months later. Only to have the cost of everything go up again. Which puts the minimum wagers back to where they were. But...makes it a little more costly fpr us that made a little more than minimum. And didn't get raises to accomidate the cost of living going up. We need the inflation AND, costs to go way down.
Any normal human being who hears Trump talks will no that this man doesn't belong in a leadership role. His rhetoric is like that of a child.
