Gas prices in NC are indeed currently lower than in 2024, with the average price for the year expected to be around $3.20 compared to $3.43. But Trump and Maga didn't do squat to effect the change. Drill baby drill is like an elixir salesman on the back of a caravan traveling through town in 1880.

I live in NC and drove past 3 different gas stations over the weekend. Regular gas was $3/gallon
Back in September 2024 gas prices were under $3/gallon in Raleigh

If you look on page one of this thread, we were #1 (about one year ago).
Under Trump, we moved to #20.
Remember this when Ram or others talk about how good the stock market is and try to give the credit to Trump.

The predicted gas price of $3.20 per gallon would be an average for the entire year of 2025 for NC. Not a one week snapshot in December. The 2025 average will probably be less than the average in 2024. I’ll grant that. But I stand by my statement Trump and gang didn’t do shit to affect that change.

ADP private payrolls dropped 32,000 in November so does this mean we will not get the November jobs report day after tomorrow ?

The US debt is now at $40 trillion and rising. It will be paid in the usual way, future governments will inflate it away with a printing press.

Trump has brought in 14 trillion in tariff revenue with more on the way. We could cut the national debt in half and maybe eliminate the debt completely if we leave the beautiful tariffs in place for another two years.
WINNING !

“… But the Cabinet secretary assured that those figures will “rebalance and they’ll regrow,” claiming “this is just a near-term event” and that “next year, the numbers are going to be fantastic.”
He also reiterated his prior prediction that U.S. GDP will rise above 4% in 2026.…”

Their answer to everything is always, “it will get better sometime in the future.”

I’m surprised he didn’t also blame transgender athletes for good measure.
