Democrats are always doing something to limit supplies, whether it's through onerous taxes and regulations or pushing millions of people out of the labor market. You people are an absolute disaster. You will do to the entire country what you did to Detroit if allowed to.
Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

Its amazing how Communists dont understand how anything works. The Oil/Gas/Fuels of Civilzation are sold on futures markets. Depending on those futures the retail price is impacted immediatly. So be smart, put down the Marxist news sources you read and smarted up.

Unfortunately, most people don't have access to 'direct from the mill'. While we do have several local mills, not everyone has access to the trees for the milling either. So, back to having to depend on whichever big box or lumber yard for your supplies.....
A co-worker started building a house 13 months ago. Quotes were only good for 10 days then, and then dropped to 5 days. They are lucky that they locked in when they did, they said they couldn't afford to finish it off if they were paying today's prices for materials.

3 Ways Rising Price Inflation Hurts Everyday AmericansProponents of big-government spending and money-printing tried to downplay April data showing surging consumer prices as just a temporary adjustment. But the new data for May are out now, and they show price inflation shooting up even higher.
1. Directly Cutting Your Paycheck
2. Eroding Your Savings
3. Stealth Taxation
The Big Picture
Ultimately, this is just one set of data. We still don’t know how big of a problem price inflation will be in the near future. But it’s an important reminder of the various ways government-caused inflation hurts everyday Americans. (And we haven’t even mentioned economic bubbles!) No matter what rates we ultimately experience, we should all keep this in mind.

Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
