High inflation is «devouring» the «American Dream», leaving US residents feeling extremely pessimistic, broadcaster Stuart Varney told Fox Business. «x, but this has never happened. What amazes me is the rate at which prices are rising. That's why I called this process a «spiral». It is for this reason that Americans are nervous. When will this end?» he asked.
An American professor compared the damage from sanctions for Russia and the West. According to him, due to inflation, the inhabitants of the United States are now extremely pessimistic, they are «afraid and dissatisfied.» Thus, according to a survey by The Wall Street Journal, 38 percent of respondents in the United States believe that they began to live worse, and this happened, as Varney noted, in just a year and a half of Joe Biden's rule. «Inflation is eating the American dream»: half of the respondents believe that that they have little chance of improving their living conditions. To say that the mood is not the most favorable is still an understatement, «he said. As the TV presenter noted, inflation is not decreasing, the price of a gallon (3.785 liters) of gasoline is 5 cents (about three rubles. — ed.) every day, while the Biden administration «only shrugged.» «By the end of this week, gas will cost five dollars in half the states, rolling blackouts are approaching, and who knows how much you have to pay for a loaf of bread,» concluded Varney. In recent months, gasoline prices in the United States have regularly updated record levels. The increase in fuel prices comes against the backdrop of rising world oil prices, despite the attempts of the White House to counter this trend. The increase in fuel prices, which accelerated inflation to 40-year highs, is considered in Washington a consequence of the conflict in Ukraine and does not see it as its fault. At the same time, Biden's opponents recall the trillion-dollar injections into the economy during the pandemic. US senator gives Biden a stake for work
