I’m perfectly content with what the government has been doing to lower inflation, however it can still be lowered.

No, abolishing the Federal Reserve and returning to the Gold Standard is the only way to end it.

Inflation doesn't exist, money isn't valuable, we give it fake value, so money is less valuable? Just give it more value.

No, the government has not done enough to lower inflation. Inflation is partly caused by mass government spending and mass debt accumulation. The government has been spending a great deal of money over the many years and often times it exceeds the revenue. It is able to bring in. It is understandable, given the programs that is offered. But in order to combine inflation, this must be addressed.

No, the government should lower prices for housing, transportation, and common goods, but increase taxes so the people could feel comfortable with their jobs and inflation could lower.

 @9TQ8JH6 from Pennsylvania  answered…1yr1Y

Oh for heaven's sakes. Just how much power do you think the government has? They cannot control prices of goods and services.

 @9RLD6D7 from California  answered…1yr1Y

I feel like individual policy makers are working to lower inflation, but are met with a lot of resistance from others, whether government or private.

 @B7LVXSS from Texas  answered…1 day1D

No not at all. Prices are getting higher and the pay rate most people have is not enough to even live off of.

Trump’s Doom vs. Harris’s Hope as America Decides Its Fate

Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris closed out their campaigns in the final hours before Election Day in starkly different moods: The former president, often appearing drained at arenas that were not filled, claimed that the country was on the brink of ruin, while the vice president promised a more united future as energized supporters chanted alongside her, “We’re not going back.”In stop after stop, the presidential rivals essentially offered up two competing versions of reality on Monday and into early Tuesday. Mr. Trump repeatedly raised the specter of unchecked immigration and the dangers of Democratic policies as he spoke to crowds in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before closing with a midnight rally in Michigan.With a comparatively more optimistic message, Ms. Harris crisscrossed Pennsylvania, which holds 19 electoral votes that could decide the race. Stopping in Scranton, Allentown and Pittsburgh before a nighttime rally in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris talked about bolstering the economy and restoring federal abortion rights. She asserted that Americans were “exhausted” and ready to move on from the politics of the past decade.About 30 miles to the southwest, Mr. Trump was in Reading, Pa., broadly portraying undocumented immigrants as mentally ill criminals and calling those accused of crimes “savages” and “animals.”Both leaned on Hispanic supporters as they tried to rally Latino voters. The pro-Harris rapper Fat Joe, who is Puerto Rican, practically shamed his fellow Latinos in Allentown as he asked, “Where’s your pride?” Mr. Trump, still facing fallout from his rally in New York at which a comedian called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” brought Roberto Clemente Jr., the son of the Puerto Rican baseball legend, to the stage at a rally in Pittsburgh.But Mr. Trump, reaching the end of a grueling marathon of a campaign that began in 2022, looked visibly weary, battling fatigue in front of listless crowds, though he was relatively more upbeat and energized in Michigan. Ms. Harris, still appearing fresh after a three-month sprint, appealed for unity and pressed the contrast to her rival without uttering his name.“The measure of a true leader is based not on who you beat down,” she said. “It is based on who you lift up.”Despite the sharply different tones, polls suggest the race remains tight, with the final New York Times/Siena College surveys showing the candidates tied or holding only narrow leads in all of the seven battleground states.
