There's a War on our Pockets!

Not to sound like a broken record but have yall seen the price of gas and heating oil in the last 2-3 days. I guess we can blame Trump for this war we never asked for that's now costing us Tax payers a lot of money.
I know food and electric prices will be affected as well. We need relief, even making 6 figures combined with my spouse is no longer enough, I work my 9-5 everyday Monday through Friday and now I'm even doing uber after work for 2-3 hours a day. Feels like I'm just working myself to death all just to keep up with the bills.
Kind of feels like theirs a war on our pockets going on right now.
Anybody else feeling my pain?

It’s really bad. I am as frugal as I know how to be. I kept the thermostat as low as we could stand it for the extreme cold we’ve been through,we layered up and looked fat,I know. I cook from scratch, I repurpose if at all possible. I made a trip to the store yesterday,and I can honestly say that I every single thing I needed was more that it was the last time I bought it. Red meat is just nuts and it will go higher. All of our dairy is crazy. And we won’t even get in to the crazy produce prices, and the quality of produce has really gone down as well. All we can do is the best we can.
Talk to your family together, ask them to all be aware and to do their part—no wasted food,turn off unnecessary lights and gadgets,etc. Every little bit helps!!! Hang in there!!

My question is, why is that scumbag still in office? Why are people putting up with this?Vote Democratic..seems the only way we will get rid of him, unless he kicks the bucket.

He never should have been elected president, in my opinion! He's never been a good businessman and always ground his businesses and stole money from his business partners.
We NEED to get him out of office as soon as possible and get things stabilized as fast as we can under somebody else!
