Renters in the US are getting clobbered by inflation.
The US Zillow Rent Index All Homes YoY + CPI YoY is one measure of renter misery.
The classic misery index (CPI YoY + U-3 unemployment rate) is 10.80%.
Then there is inflation in food prices, gasoline, heating oil, natural gas, etc.
While Biden is releasing the Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) in order to mitigate the problem that he created by terminating the energy pipelines and oil/natural gas drilling permits in the name of “Going Green!” But on the announcement of tapping the SPR, crude oil futures actually rose.
But never fear! Biden claims that his $5 TRILLION Build Back Better Boondoggle (BBBB) will ease inflation … over 10 years. And he claims that “17 Nobel Prize winners in economics have said that my plan will “ease inflationary pressures.”” I sincerely doubt that any of them actually read the 2,500 page BBBB. Rather, they likely just read the White House talking points and said “Hey, that sounds good!” Mo money, less problems?
Here is Joe Biden breaking the legs of America’s renters. Or is that multi-millionaire Nancy Pelosi?
