@CarlHigbie Biden increased inflation, then drained strategic oil reserves for political gain: those are facts. Absolute stupid moves by worst prez in US history. Also an obvious fact, except to an absolute moron.

@CarlHigbie Money we will never be able to replace. Thank you President Trump

Oops! Total cumulative inflation in the United States since 2019 is approximately 26.72% as of late 2025. This means that $1 in 2019 has the equivalent purchasing power of about $1.27 today. Key Inflation Metrics (2019–2025) Inflation varies depending on the specific measurement used: Consumer Price Index (CPI): 26.72% total increase, averaging roughly 4.03% annually. Core Inflation: Excluding volatile food and energy, the cumulative total is approximately 24.27%. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE): Often favored by the Federal Reserve, this measurement shows a lower cumulative increase of 21.77%. Chained CPI: Accounting for consumer adjustments in spending, this shows a 23.76% total increase.

@CarlHigbie How dare they show factual data 📈

@CarlHigbie Haters read’em and weep.

@CarlHigbie Now how do we get this out to the public when the dems and left media lie!!

@CarlHigbie And-what about the Covid pandemic???? Why are you not acknowledging the impact on our economy THAT had?? I’m tired of seeing all the “victims” of “covid-amnesia” I’m seeing, talking about the economy….pretending THAT it never happened.

@CarlHigbie Because nobody is spending money, have you seen the tourism numbers, people are out of jobs, 1.2 million unemployed, Farm bankruptcies at highest level in 15 yrs.! If people aren’t spending money inflation goes down it’s a supply issue you dufus!

@CarlHigbie I paid $2.14 for gas at a WalMart in north Louisiana yesterday.

@CarlHigbie Do not mention a worldwide pandemia. This was not a normal situation. Not mentioning this “minor issue” is disingenuous.

@CarlHigbie But that rise, was due to the coronavirus fallout.

@CarlHigbie Here’s a better Picture. Politicians Lie-Data Doesn’t.⬇️

@CarlHigbie Didn't the midterm timeframe drop from depleting the strategic reserves coincide with the same point in time where FJB asked the saudis to pump more oil and they told him to kindly go fuck himself?

@CarlHigbie Manipulated numbers!

@CarlHigbie Beef was up 28% under Biden in 4 years, 7% per year. It is 20% up on the top of that in 1 year of Trump

@CarlHigbie @JessicaTarlov her are some more “stats and data” for you!! Feel free to share on the @TheFive tomorrow!! 👍🏻

@CarlHigbie Carl is a Chad

@CarlHigbie Great discussion

@CarlHigbie We need more visual discourse like this! Well done Carl!

@CarlHigbie 1 million jobs lost since January

@CarlHigbie Newsmax doesn’t understand how inflation works. Biden’s 9% happened bc of covid. Inflation doesn’t kick in at the same time as the virus. It hit every single country about a year later. The U.S. recovered faster than every other country in the G7. You can thank Biden for that.

@CarlHigbie Carl…Why don’t you mention the huge tax cuts in Trump’s 1st term that created tremendous fiscal stimulus (means inflationary). Also, Trump’s bungled Covid plan pumped hundreds of B$’s into the economy. You need to account for those lame brain moves. Now you have tariffs.

@CarlHigbie @JesseBWatters Jesse, show this to Tarlov!

@CarlHigbie Trump caused the 22% from miss handling the pandemic and greed from large corporations.

@CarlHigbie If it rose 22% during the Biden admin, why were the COLA adjustments a mere 3% or less each year?

@CarlHigbie Good reporting!

@CarlHigbie MAGA propaganda

@CarlHigbie Interesting

@CarlHigbie Bullshit. The dollar isn’t worth 70cents. More like 20cents.

@CarlHigbie Informative.

@CarlHigbie It’s alway good to understand things more deeply.

@CarlHigbie The dollar has lost 97% of its value since 1913. Geeee...

@CarlHigbie Little trumpet network getting in on the Trump pump😂

@CarlHigbie Tarriffs prevented the economy from taking off even faster. They forced extra price increases on consumers to cover the tax burden at the port. If tarriffs weren't involved, or used to simply free the market at 0% tarriffs, that would have been far more beneficial

@CarlHigbie Yup that lays it out nice and straight huh 😏
