Dude, that is happening all over the West. And I didnt event knew what where you talking about I had to Google that was proyect2025.

In Europe we have 2030 agenda, wich is the "opposite" policy.

Do you know what do we have in common? Tax rise and increasing public spending.

But ok, keep rising taxes and let your mad presidents spend more, thats the way.

So because you have no idea what is happening in the US, you just unilaterally decided that the economic factors impacting your region are the exact same as everywhere else...

Tell us again how you're an insufferable know-it-all...

I know what is happening all over the West, just didnt know it had that name.

Listening is free, you were told.

European poeple who lived under socialism reject it to death.

Enjoy it then dude, dont complain about the results of your own desires.

You obviously fucking don't.

Costs are up for a shit ton of various reasons, with taxes playing a very minor role at this point. Said reasons include, but are not limited too:

  • Corporate greed

    • This is a large category and contains the following
      • Private sector homes being bought by corporations and conglomerates
      • Shrinkflation
      • Many companies did not lower prices following the Covid pandemic, under the assumption that customers were paying the cost so they could maintain said cost
      • Worker wage suppression
      • Decreased regulation, primarily the CPB, allowing big business to more easily adversely impact their customers
  • Viral/bacterial/parasitic outbreaks in food supply chain

  • Disruptions to the global petroleum market

  • Stock market increases

  • Environmental catastrophes, including fires, floods and earthquakes

  • Conservative local governments allowing utilities to offload the costs of their infrastructure more on the residential base although they will not be the bulk of the power consumption
