SOME of the increase? Given the high rate of inflation this indicates that real spending was LESS than last year.

People paying more to buy less just sums up these times.

Actual sales down then… sales up 2% while inflation is 10

Yup if account for the 8% inflation increase, sales are down by about 8% Thanks Joe Biden and the democrats You can't blame covid or Trump anymore, its entirely your fault

Biden-inflation means even if Americans buy the same stuff, they pay the Biden-penalty of an extra 20%! No wonder we are breaking records. More Biden gives cash handouts to dead-beats, single mothers etc. the more there will be inflation, the more records we will break.

JoeBiden repeatedly made it very clear. There's no inflation

$8 billion in 2021 dollars

I thought what with the price of Turkey stuffing and pie shells, BF would have been a bust.

INFLATION! INFLATION! INFLATION!

I thought sales were going to be down

Listening to a story in NPR now claiming that all doctors agree it's correct go mutilate kids through 'gender affirming surgery' - no age restrictions. NPR has become dangerous, extremist misinformation.

Thanks Joe!
